Have any of you guys been to this site www.russianmartialart.com and tried their fighting style?

I'm assuming it is combat sambo. The difficulty in training martial arts that use deadly techniques is that you can never practice them full force.

I believe that it's a little bit more advanced then sambo.It seems to be very effective.

Sambo is the martial art of the Spetnaz. The seminar providers are just trying to repackage it by attaching a 'philosophy' to it.

You seem to know alot about martialarts.I still think this style is very effective.I'm going to find out about classes in my area.What style do you study?

 

[Naeblis]

Sambo is the basis for the Spetnaz.. the variation they use is actually called Systema.

I'm assuming it is combat sambo. The difficulty in training martial arts that use deadly techniques is that you can never practice them full force.

that is why i really like styles that have very realistic sparring.. like boxing, wresting, ju jitsu, sambo and Judo

if you can execute your attacks against someone who is skilled at defending the attacks you will have a better chance at executing them in a self defense situation.

That is Kano's reason for stressing randori. Judo eliminated the deadly techniques of jiu-jitsu(sorry I only know the Brazilian spelling). Kano theorized that being practiced and fluent in non-deadly techniques is more effective than knowing, but being unsure of the performance of deadly techniques.

I really couldnt agree more..

my best competition throw is probably seonage.. there are many throws that would be better suited in no gi situations but since i practice seonage (one armed shoulder throw) so much it is very easy for me to adapt to no gi situations...

Jacob: what styles do you practice?

My take on these kind of MAs : I think this is something that would be beneficial to learn IN ADDITION TO a strong, proven, sparreable(real word?) MA base. I would probably spend a few months becoming versed in either Muay Thai, TKD, Boxing and/or BJJ, Wrestling before I went to one of these seminars or took any of these courses. . . In most fight situations you want to be able to stop your opponent but not cause permanent damage, Here in the states you will probably go to jail even if it was done in self defense. . . . But one day a situation might call for you to use deadly force against an assailant and being able to permanently damage or kill an opponent is a good skill to have even if you never have to use it.

PS: People that have no prior grappling / striking training can look at all of these videos or read 1,000 books and learn NOTHING. While the trained individual can pick up on moves and techniques just by watching the movements being executed without any explanation.
