I'm still skeptical of Systema...but I have to admit Vladimir here has some very believable techniques and training methods.
Osu!

Osu, Neet press drill.
Had a look at the Systema videos, and share you skepticism. Would be keen to see it utilised against a motivated attacker. Very few of his attackers seemed to be aggressively pursuing holds or vital targets, even the stomping was pretty half hearted.
Osu!

Actually found an instructor certified under Vladimir. Ear me that I want to visit. Not to dojo crash but to see if he can toss me around like a rag doll.
Osu!

Problem is, this instructor only teaches one day a week, the time that I'm supposed to be teaching my students! He teaches near Seattle's dojo so I'll ask if he's heard of the guy. It maybe quite a while before I get a chance to check this guy out. He charges $15 for a 1.5 to 2 hour class..one day a week. So if you trained 4 times a month, that's $60 a month, not bad, but one time a week isn't enough practice IMHO.
I really want to train with Vladimir or somebody certified under him to see if they can throw me around and make me look stupid like in the videos. If they can, I'm sold on Systema!
I get the nagging suspicion that Vladimir is skilled in Karate, Sambo, Boxing, Judo, and other stuff...and is kind of selling his skills by trying to disguise them as something more exotic. I hope I'm wrong and what we see in the youtube videos of him is legit. If it's legit I found a new martial art to learn!
Osu!
