This DVD is about 2 hours long. The first part is self-development training and the second part is mostly about knife fighting. If you are not a fan of working with energy and doing breathing exercises, just fast forward. The second part is impressive!!! Exactly, as DVD description says - based on knife techniques you can practice all extremely important elements of hand to hand combat - fighting steps and movements, body rotation, strikes, grabs and counter-attacks. Amazing how everything comes together and using a knife is a great way of practicing it!! I've always thought that knife fighting is something that you learn after mastering strikes, punches, etc. Actually, I was able to practice all the fundamental elements from the knife combat. This is a new way to look on self-defense techniques. Incredible job Mr. Vadim Starov!! Simple and beyond my expectations. Remarkable training approach!

I bought this set a year ago, and bought some of the DVDs which have been released afterwards. I also wrote a separate review for each DVD on Systema Spetsnaz website. In this review I want speak about Systema Spetsnaz DVDs generally, versus other teachers.
I have seen most DVDs of Systema Spetsnaz, and systema by Mikhal Ryabko and Vladimir Vasiliev. Last is Pramek which is inspired by Russian martial arts. Mikhail Ryabko and Vladimir Vasiliev have around 40 dvds and go in depth. Pramek covers the theory well, and show some examples of usage. Systema Spetsnaz is a great combination between both, it covers the theory well and shows a lot of variations in practice and real life scenarios.
Honestly, I think that all DVDs from these 3 instructors complete each other well. But to buy all DVDs is a big investment, and very time consuming to go through. The best solution is to go for the Vadim Starov DVDs!!!
Enjoy, and seek knowledge:)
