From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Systema (Russian: Система, romanizedSistema, lit.'system') is a Russian martial art.[1][2] There are multiple schools of systems that began appearing after the end of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, with teachers claiming their respective "systems" (usually named after themselves).[citation needed] Training includes, but is not limited to: hand-to-hand combat, grappling, knife fighting, and firearms training. Training involves drills and sparring without set kata.

Media appearances

[edit]

Systema has gathered interest as its coverage has increased. Examples include CTV Travel's show Go Warrior in 2008[3] and Black Belt magazine in 2011.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] For the 2018 BBC crime drama McMafia, actor James Norton learned aspects of systema in preparation for his leading role as a London banker drawn into the violent world of the Russian mafia.[11] Systema has also been used by Lamarr Houston of the Chicago Bears in his training.[12] In Japanese fighting games Street Fighter V, Kolin's fighting style is systema,[13] as well as Marie Rose in Dead or Alive 6.[14]
