This saturday I read an article about a "gym" that teaches this Russian martial art called systema. I'm interested in checking it out and wondered if anybody here had further information...

Yeah, thanks for coming out, smart ***. See, I already read the article - I posted knowing that several people around here study martial arts, and was looking for information from guys who are in the know.

Tracer, what are you talking about? That site has tons of information, is that not what you asked for in your original post?

It wasnt deliberate. I was trying to be helpful.

It wouldnt have been the first time someone posted a question without googling it first... :\

Yeah, but I read it condescendingly. If that wasn't your intention, I apologize.

I know a guy who takes systema I THINK. I'm not sure though, But I could maybe arrange for him to talk to you. Do you have AIM or MSN? Let me know by PM

Systema is a fairly interesting system. It has influences from many different regions, and is supposed to be a combination of fighting techniques collected in defense of the motherland. It's pretty popular as the KGB fighting system. I'd say it's pretty similar in concepts to Krav Maga. I wouldn't turn down the oppritunity to at least take a few classes.

And then there are people like me who post questions legitimately having searched on Google, and yet no help from Massassi :(
