Needing the fastest and most effective training regime for their elite fighters and undercover operatives, the Soviets developed a fighting style that was both effective, adaptive, and easy to learn.  Systema forms the foundation for the weapon based skills explored later in the seminar. No previous martial arts experience is required.
