I do know that I have been training since CC days (with a few pauses). It has become so much more than a hobby that I do not even want to try imagining quiting. As for Systema, that looks VERY cool. In fact, people have asked me what martial art they should do. I always list that one near the top when they say their interest is in self defense. Have you trained directly with either Vasiliev or Ryabko? Ben,

My teacher used to have them work with a 17 year old girl with purple hair. When it came time for punching, the ig guys would hem and haw about 'hitting a girl' - and then she would just light them up. Watching a 250 pound man running away from a giggling girl is kind of poetry. The russians just smile. I love watching shitheads in systema.
