Systema is a military martial art based on traditional Russian martial arts. Systema has the following four characteristics. Breathing: Breathing is very important in Systema. Deep breathing helps oxygenate your entire body and relax your muscles. Relaxation: In Systema, it is important not to tense your muscles. If you tense your muscles, your movement will be restricted and your opponent will be more likely to attack you. Posture: Maintaining good posture is important in Systema. By maintaining the correct posture, you will be able to maintain your balance and be less likely to be attacked by your opponent. Keep moving: At Systema, it's important to keep moving. By continuing to move, it becomes difficult for your opponent to predict you, making it easier to dodge attacks. Systema is a practical martial art that assumes various situations in modern warfare. It incorporates a wide range of techniques, from martial arts using weapons to bare-handed martial arts. Systema is a martial art that is popular not only with the military, but also with the police, security guards, and the general public.
