Learning Systema Spetsnaz – where to begin?

Which videos should I start with. I want train as if I will be in combat. I am fifty-eight years old and am in very good condition from a cardiac standpoint. I need your guidance to begin system combat correctly. Thank you for your time.

Hello, for beginners we have a special course of 14 DVDs and we offer it with 30% discount! Here is a link: https://www.russiancombat.com/systema_spetsnaz_dvds

If you can not afford this course, then start with 4 DVDs:

DVD #1 – is an introduction to Systems (a little bit of everything). You will get general knowledge about the style and how it works.

DVD #3 – elements and exercises, helpful to master physical strength and endurance.

DVD #5 – Internal Wave Energy – is one of the most important principles of Systema Spetsnaz.

DVD #14 – Powerful Joints –  joints’s movements are very important element in our system. I recommend using this DVD together with DVD #5.

I already practice martial arts. But I would like to improve my skills with Russian Systema Spetsnaz. For that , I need your help to tell me with which DVD I should start with. I went on your site and looked at the instructional  DVDs. I thought that I should start with DVD 1 : the warrior s path and DVD 5 : internal wave energy (I eliminated DVD 3 : elements and exercises because I already practice  martial arts so I know a lot of them ) I would like to give me your opinion on that. Thank you very much. 

Hello, DVD #1 and #5 are great choice! Since you already have Martial arts knowledge, I recommend you also to get:
DVD #7 – Wrist Locks, DVD #8 – Takedowns and DVD #10 – Energy Strikes.

DVD #1 – The Warrior’s Path –  the goal of this DVD is to give a general understanding of the Systema Spetsnaz system, not to teach a specific technique. Although, it has several combat applications and principles.

DVD #5 – definitely, YES! It contains theory, exercises and principles of using wave motion for punches, strikes, kicks and takedowns.

I also recommend DVD #14 – Powerful Joints. This are no martial arts techniques, but this DVD will give you extra flexibility for the combat confrontations, especially for practicing figure 8 and wave motions which are fundamental in our style.

We also recommend Systema Spetsnaz Self-Defense Seminar (8.5 hours video course). Videos are available on DVDs and to view online. With online option – you will have unlimited access to the videos, can watch them as many times as you want from any device (computer, tablet, smart phone).

The explanations on the video are very simple and cover different subjects. It covers both – combat techniques and breathing/relaxation exercises. It will be a great place to start. After watching this set, you can decide which part of combat you’d like to focus on and select the proper DVD for yourself.

Below are few fragments from the seminar.
