Combat Systema: Volume 5 The Russian Martial Art of Using Improvised Weapons
Russian Systema traces its origins to various Cossack systems of the 10th century. When the Soviet government later commissioned the development of a research center for human maximization, the synthesized research in the Asian arts created systems of combat designed to meet the demands of the modern soldier. These combat systems included sport sambo, combat sambo, and Samoz, which later evolved into Systema. The Combat Systema approach outlined in this video series was created by Kevin Secours, after years of high-level study under top Russian masters. It is defined by a scientific approach to biomechanics, breath training, and combat psychology. The continuous use of pressure testing to measure and refine those attributes, combined with continued research in human performance, has helped shaped the most complete solution possible for the needs of the modern practitioner.
Combat Systema: The Russian Martial Art of Using Improvised Weapons presents Secours' combative system for the use of improvised weapons. Adaptability was an essential concern for the founders of Systema, and the first principle taught in this system is an understanding of the limitations of things that can be used as improvised weapons. Not every item is usable or effective as a weapon of opportunity. The second principle is that you have to learn how to use these items without relying on them, but rather on your main core of defensive techniques. If you are not a good fighter, the addition of an improvised tool is not going to instantly make you a better fighter. Secours' approach to this topic incorporates the main set of techniques (from access and manipulation, targeting, tracing, and pressure points to structure breaks, striking drills, and low-line attacks) with the most effective use of available weapons, such as keys, flashlights, clothes, books, chairs, and the environment. In short, do not fixate on the weapon; learn how to operate within its limitations, and you'll enhance your defense skills and tactics.

Review
Russian Stick Combat Vol. 1: Defense Brilliant!!! That is the first thing that came to my mind as I was watching this DVD. The progression and demonstrations along with perfect explanations are amazing! I have never seen anything so exceptional from any other martial art on the subject of stick fighting, and I've seen them all, from Irish to Burmese stick fighting with everything in between. Nor have I ever seen a DVD by Vladimir of this caliber. He demonstrates his true genius in this master piece. --Demetry Furman
This truly is a landmark new release Russian Stick Combat DVD. People have been clamoring for coverage of Russian Stick work for many years, and now finally our ship has come in! The personal highlights of this DVD took my understanding of weapons work and Systema fundamentals to a whole new plane. The topics list below should say it all: Warm Up Preparation for Contact Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 Combining Positions Evading Under a Stick Using Body and Limbs Stick Held with Both Hands Prepare for Stick Strikes Defense on the Move In-Class Training People, this DVD is finally the last greatest word on this topic. In Russian Stick Combat, Vladimir offers a whole segment, and related material across many other segments, all the details of exactly how to work on filling the body. This is an essential mega-step forward in Systema training materials. It's obvious that the stick is the secret tool that hugely expedites this development. Another hidden gem, like so much of the Systema training catalog, the stated topic is a keyhole opening through which the entire panorama of Systema becomes sharply visible. The other theme that especially struck me was the core idea we often have heard of working against the opponent rather than the weapon. Again the equivalent of more than an entire segment is devoted to examining and illustrating this idea from every possible angle. Others more expert than myself would be able to say definitively, but in my view this idea could be the foundation for all weapons disarming and survival work. And in my opinion, the bedrock fundamental ideas of working against the man not the weapon are better presented here than I have ever seen anywhere. Another key point, for me personally, was that while other stick fighting materials that I have collected tend to emphasize the stick per se, and be limited and specialized to a particular single type of specialized implement, it is radically obvious that the stick fighting principles of Systema are completely general across any kind of impact weapon. I felt that mastering the material here would enable me to survive and prevail in any kind of impact weapon assault, such as club, bat, pool cue, metal pipe, 2 by 4, etc. As I have witnessed such attacks on several occasions, I have a lively personal interest in such generalized skills. And naturally the master at work jaw-dropping inspirational value of this DVD is beyond compare... --Martial Art Media Critic
One word that is entirely over-used in marketing today is unique--particularly when describing martial arts DVD's. To paraphrase Bruce Lee, how unique can one art truly be over another when we ultimately have 2 arms, 2 legs and only so many ways to use them? Well, that type of logic normally operates as a running referential for me until I see a DVD like this one. Non-practitioners often say that our art looks a bit like Jujitsu, a bit like Aikido, a bit like Tai Chi and so on. Naturally, all body movement will resemble one another. What I try to convey that's it's not so much our principles or techniques but rather our way of training that defines our distinction. This concept has never been more fully and beautifully illustrated than it is in the newest Stick Defense DVD. Vladimir's work is incredible as always--beyond words. Added to this, the DVD contains a healthy assortment of student work, displaying different interpretations of the same core concepts which as a teacher, I massively appreciate. These components alone would make the DVD a huge value to any library but what really sets this production apart is the sequence of drills and exercises to help build an individual's skills. These concepts and exercises are so uniquely "systemic" and yet so efficient and so obvious that I wonder how in 25 years of martial study, I never encountered anything like this. Stick has always remained a large component of my training simply because it offers a hyper-accelerated learning curve. Once you can deal with the greater length and speed of a stick, the same mechanics and clarity overflow with relevance into your empty-handed work and all other aspects of your training. I could not give this DVD a higher recommendation. Beautiful work Vladimir and crew. Thank you for making this knowledge so generously available. --Kevin Secours

Combat Systema: DVD Volume 6 The Russian Martial Art of Fighting Multiple Opponents
Russian Systema traces its origins to various Cossack systems of the 10th century. When the Soviet government later commissioned the development of a research center for human maximization, the synthesized research in the Asian arts created systems of combat designed to meet the demands of the modern soldier. These combat systems included sport sambo, combat sambo, and Samoz, which later evolved into Systema.

It is defined by a scientific approach to biomechanics, breath training, and combat psychology. The continuous use of pressure testing to measure and refine those attributes, combined with continued research in human performance, has helped shaped the most complete solution possible for the needs of the modern practitioner.
Combat Systema: The Russian Martial Art of Fighting Multiple Opponents is based on the Systema multiplicity principle wherein a fighter always tackles plural engagements with elliptical, figure-eight strikes, moving from one attacker to another. Taking the tactical approach from pure Russian Systema – preemption, detection, and cracking of the mob – Secours then focuses on the structure of the attackers' group and the dynamics of the real-world encounters. From verbal de-escalation, shielding drills, striking drills, and counterstrikes to multi-line defenses, anti-grappling, and tactics for protecting friends, this video delivers a coherent system of surviving an attack by multiple opponents.

Warrior Wellness: Six Degrees of Freedom (3 programs: Beginner-Intermediate-Advanced)
What is The Warrior Wellness Zdorovye Health System?The Warrior Wellness Zdorovye Health System is a natural movement education system, or a type of somatic engineering. Movement Education in Zdorovye is more than working to increase range of motion (flexibility) and strength. The goals of Zdorovye are to integrate/coordinate breathing, movement and structural alignment, as well as increase the pliability, coordination and strength of any individual. These goals are accomplished in a gradual fashion using an errorless learning module of training working gradually from recovery to coordination to refinement in all aspects of health, fitness and awareness. This process is also followed with each exercise – first recovering the necessary pliability, coordination and strength, and then coordinating and refining those aspects. The exercises in Zdorovye are designed to enhance the efficiency of every movement by causing the individual to move in three dimensions simultaneously as well as understanding the use of the center of gravity (of the entire body as well as each individual segment) as a mobility tool.
How is it structured?
The Warrior Wellness Zdorovye Health System is broken down into three levels: Novice, Intermediate and Advanced.
The Novice level seeks to fully integrate Dvizheniye (movement), Polozheniye (structural alignment) and Dykhaniye (breathing). The main focus of this level is to recover our natural child-like pliability (flexibility) as well as restore our natural coordination (awareness) and strength (stamina).
The Intermediate level seeks to fully develop the coordination aspect of the exercises. In order to gain any development from the intermediate exercises one must have FULLY integrated his/her breathing, alignment and movement.
The Advanced level seeks to refine these fully coordinated and integrated exercises into truly efficient movements.
‘Recover – Coordinate – Refine’ is one of the overall principles for the Zdorovye Health System. It is applied to the entire system (Novice – Intermediate – Advanced) as well as to each individual exercise. It is a gradual process that, when followed through to the end has a more profound effect on the individual than something that is gained instantly.
Whether you are an Olympic athlete or a senior citizen, Zdorovye can help improve your performance and health.
The following is a general list of the benefits that anyone can gain from the Zdorovye Health System:
Increase Energy:
Breathing exercises integrated with movement and alignment will increase the energy levels, and help you maintain and balance them throughout the day.
Increase Mobility
Movement exercises integrated with breathing and alignment will increase the range-of-motion of your joints – keeping them mobile, supple and strong.
Increase Power
Structural Alignment exercises integrated with breathing and movement will increase the power that is inherent in the structure of your body.
Increase Efficiency
Specialized applications of breathing, alignment & movement will teach your body how to move efficiently (doing more with less).
Decrease Injuries
If your keep your body energized, mobile and powerful you decrease the risk of injury. Through the specialized applications of breathing, alignment & movement the connective tissues around your joints become stronger and more pliable.
Decrease Fear
If you have never jumped out of an airplane you will most likely be terrified the first time you do so. The Zdorovye Health System teaches kinesthetic awareness – awareness of where your body is – which allows you to let go of the fear of such things as falling.
Decrease Anxiety/Stress
There are two reactions that we have towards stress – mental & physical. The physical reaction – tension – is something that we can easily reduce through specialized applications of movement, breathing & posture. Prices & Ordering
I've literally watched hundreds of instructional videos making various claims. Warrior Wellness not only exceeded any expectations, it saved my friend's life and has become a life-long part of mine.
I gave this set to Big Tom ten years ago when he could barely walk to the door. He would literally have to turn his entire body to turn his head. Very few thought he would make it to see his 55th birthday and the people at church wanted to buy him an electric scooter for mobility.
I had a better idea, force Tom to begin his path to mobility through Warrior Wellness!
Within 6 months he could walk a mile. By the end of the year he won his church's over 50, 50 yard dash!
Scott Sonnon might come across as an odd character but he has been through a lot in life. He's in better shape at 20 than 10 and in better shape at 30 than 20. Now, he's in his 40's an in the best shape of his life. You know he's doing something right.
Warrior Wellness is different than Western thinking in that it does not focus on flexibility or muscle strength. It's all about range of motion and joint strength. Anyone, at any age can do this and you never have to advance past the beginner level.
Do this every day for the rest of your life and it will be the best move you ever made!

Kettlebell Systema – The Science of Kettlebell Sport DVD
Kettlebell Systema is here and The Science of Kettlebell Sport is the DVD series that will surely change the way you lift Kettlebells forever! In this new instructional series, Russian Kettlebell coach Denis Kanygin teaches the three main lifts of the original Russian Kettlebell and Girevoy training system, the Jerk, the Snatch and the Long Cycle. These three lifts are without a doubt, the most important and misunderstood techniques in Russian Kettlebell training and are the foundation of all Kettlebell lifts known today. By properly learning these lifts, you will dramatically increase your ability to lift heavier bells with proper form and for much longer periods of time. This is the most technical Kettlebell DVD series ever filmed by Shihan and contains 5 hours of instruction and over 100 individual trainings sessions. These DVDs are not just only for individuals looking to train for Girevoy competition, but for all Kettlebell instructors and students looking to learn the correct mechanical way to lift Kettlebells for fitness, competition and strength and conditioning.
Prices & Ordering
This is the best kettlebell DVD I've ever seen. The instructions are very clear. The three competition lifts are explained and then separated in phases. For each phase Kanygin shows drills with increasing difficulty that allow to practice parts of the lifts. Kanygin's approach is therefore to let you practice each phase of the lift separately and only when you mastered the drills you can put them together and practice the full lifts. I like this approach better then just starting with a very light bell and the full lifts from the start. It allows to practice details and parts of the lifts even slowly which is not possible when just doing the full lifts.
In addition to these very detailed instructions to the lifts Kanygin also gives training plans for beginners and intermediates. The latter practice already the full lifts and add drills to work on specific weaknesses. He also discusses some specific strategies for competitions.
All in all I am really glad to have purchased this DVD set. For everyone who is interested in girevoy sport or just in how to lift kettlebells in an effective manner this is the right choice.
