Spetsnaz #19: Sight Power in Combat: How to Improve Eyesight (2015)
an eye-opening DVD! Highly highly recommend!
This Spetsnaz DVD has two parts that work well together. First one is about improving the eyesight within 30 days. In my opinion, you will see improvement in 30 days, but I recommend to practice it for 60-90 days and maybe more depending on how bad your eyesight is. So, the first part of this DVD is a complex of simple exercises that will sharpen your eyesight and teach you how to breath properly and keep your inner balance. The second part of this Spetsnaz DVD is about No contact combat. You will learn where to focus your sight during the combat and how to create a psychological trap for your opponent. Incredible concept. For me it was an eye-opening! Highly highly recommend!
Spetsnaz #17: Combat Duality (2014)
Great Spetsnaz Training DVD
This DVD is one of my favorites, it contains some self development techniques into the combat field, I am a great fan of relaxation, and its a important part of systema spetsnaz. For example, when you are stressed, or mad (in a fight for instance) your blood pressure will go up, and a lot of things will influence your body in a bad way. When you are completely relaxed in a fight, you almost mastered your opponent already, because almost no enemy knows how to deal with themselves. It also contains safe falling techniques, really important if you want to learn any martial arts. Learn how to fall with systema techniques is very fun to do, because you will not only get falling skills, but also develop more flexible joints. It contains more techniques, described on the page. The DVD has a length of 2 hours, so be prepared to gain a lot of knowledge.
Spetsnaz #18: Instructor's Course: Highlights (2014)
Great Russian Spetsnaz 2 DVD set
Great Russian Spetsnaz 2 DVD set. It has both: hand to hand combat theory and self defense practical techniques and exercises! First DVD is about Systema Spetsnaz combat style, the difference between Russian Spetsnaz and other martial arts, plus fundamental principles of Russian hand to hand combat. The second DVD is a great combination of vital fighting techniques: safe falls, training with weapons, combat with multiple opponents, impressive striking techniques, grabs, chokes and holds releases and amazing footage of self-defense against a dog attack! And of course, I absolutely love the atmosphere of the training
sense of humor brings a lot of fun to the learning process!
Spetsnaz #15: Defense & Attack (Seminar Day One) (2014)
A crash course of vital Systema Spetsnaz elements
I like to call it a crash course of vital Systema Spetsnaz elements. This is a very unique Spetsnaz DVD. It has both: combat training and self-development training, which in my opinion is a great advantage compare to other Martial Arts. As you can see in DVD description it covers a lot of important combat topics.
In the beginning you will learn striking and kicking techniques of systema spetsnaz. Then, you will get into the different types of locks: wrist locks, arm locks and so on. Remember, this is 2 DVD set, so prepare for a lot of useful combat information.
Definitely, recommend this for everyone who wants to get into Systema Spetsnaz fighting, and for people who want to master their fighting skills at home.
Mr. Vadim is excellent in his videos. The closest thing to attending his classes or seminars is video and for fine tuning.
Highly recommend!!!
Spetsnaz #16: Combat Flow (2014)
Systema Spetsnaz is the Best!
This Systema Spetsnaz DVD is about 2 hours long. The first part is self- development training and the second part is mostly about knife fighting. If you are not a fan of working with energy and doing breathing exercises, just fast forward. The second part is impressive!!! Exactly, as DVD description says - based on knife techniques you can practice all extremely important elements of hand to hand combat - fighting steps and movements, body rotation, strikes, grabs and counter-attacks. Amazing how everything comes together and using a knife is a great way of practicing it!! I've always thought that knife fighting is something that you learn after mastering strikes, punches, etc. Actually, I was able to practice all the fundamental elements from the knife combat. This is a new way to look on self-defense techniques. Incredible job Mr. Vadim Starov!! Simple and beyond my expectations. Remarkable training approach! SYSTEMA SPETSNAZ IS THE BEST!!!
Spetsnaz #14: Self-Development - Powerful Joints (2014)
Definitely, it is worth watching and PRACTICING!!!!
Sometimes, I experience pain and stiffness in my joints, so I decided to give it a try. I love this self-development DVD. It's very easy to follow an instructor during all joint exercises. I believe that this Spetsnaz DVD is also great for preventing joint pain. Definitely, it is worth watching and PRACTICING!!!! And for the combat - this is just an excellent tools to improve joint mobility and flexibility.
Powerful joints is about full range of motion and strong muscles development. You will achieve this by doing various rotations and performing different movements to push yourself to a new level of flexibility. This Spetsnaz DVD is a combination of passive and active stretching and joint rotations, joint mobility and relaxation while stretching. This DVD will definitely prepare your joints for the combat and give you the whole range of motion in mastering your self defense skills in the future. Highly Recommend!!!
Spetsnaz #13: Self-Development - Renewable Internal Energy Massage (2013)
Extremely useful, I absolutely recommend it!
Extremely useful, I absolutely recommend this Spetsnaz self-development file! It is dense with information, every American guy would make at least 10 DVDs from this stuff and sell it for big money. Lol!
This instructional film was recorded in the studio, during a group training session. You will learn how to release tension and increase blood flow in shut off areas which leads to illness and diseases..
I think some of it can be achieved from massage, foam roller, and trigger point balls.
Easy to understand, easy to follow, excellent training session!I also recommend to check other self-development DVDs from these guys. I got all of them and in my opinion, they complete each other perfectly making training even more effective.
Spetsnaz #12 - Regenerative Breathing Energy (2013)
Extremely useful!!! Vadim Starov really knows what he is talking about.
Extremely useful!!! I'm free-diver doing pranayama and a lot of other breathing techniques, tai-chi, qui-gong... I have feeling that Vadim Starov really knows what he is talking about. He found the essential movements and breathing techniques which are not difficult to implement in one's everyday life.
This DVD have some theory and a lot of exercises. It is all blended together well. Just push play and do it:)
I like all Self-Development DVDs from Systema Spetsnaz. In my opinion, they cover a lot of topics. And what I like the most, that it has both theory and exercises.
Spetsnaz #11 - Psycho-physical Self Regulation (2013)
I really love this Spetsnaz Self-Development video!
I bought this DVD to learn about Self-Development in a Systema way. I have read numerous Self-Development books but most of them are just strategies to think positive, but I am sure a lot of self-development can be achieved by working with the body. This DVD teaches you how to move and breathe in particular ways: relax and get energy, sharpness in mind and motivation. After doing these self-regulation exercises, the tension in my neck was reduced ( my neck gets tensed very easily when I am stressed). When you read a book, you can only imagine how you should do the exercises, with this DVD you just follow the instructions and copy Vadim Starov movements. I really love this way of thinking about Self-Development, and I recommend this DVD to everyone who has to deal with a lot of stress, which causes your mind and body to get tensed and being less productive.
Spetsnaz #9 - No Contact Combat (2013)
It will give you a great introduction to the topic of No Contact Combat!
This Systema Spetsnaz DVD about No Contact combat is a very interesting! It will give you a great introduction to the topic of no contact. You will learn about a human mind and how you can influence it. Similar methods are used to develop the warrior spirit. How to defeat the enemy with my mind is something that I like to practice. I believe it is a way of using several elements: body language, voice, eyesight and energy to control the subconsciousness of your opponent. Systema by Mikhail Ryabko also uses that technique. But, in my opinion, Vadim Starov describes it much better in this DVD.
This DVD really helped me to bring my combat skills to a higher level. Psychology has a lot to do when it comes to fighting, and it should never be underestimated. In this No Contact Combat DVD, Vadim Starov explains a lot about psychological influence in a combat, and how to use it in a real combat situation. I recommend this Spetsnaz DVD to everyone who is interested in systema fighting, and interested in psychology. This DVD is a really good combo with the self- development DVDs of Vadim Starov. Not only i do these exercises to improve my combat skills, but i feel more relaxed and confident now.
Spetsnaz #10 - Energy Strikes (2014)
An eye opening DVD!
This DVD will definitely teach you how to deliver a powerful penetrating Systema strikes. And it also will teach you how to breath when someone is attacking you. You will learn how to get in sync with your opponent and use his energy against him.
An eye opening DVD!
Famous Systema Wave pattern is used to obtain energy for a strike, different rotations are used to direct the energy to specific impact point (vital organs). This Spetsnaz DVD also covers how it will affect your opponent body. In my opinion, similar concept is used in Shaolin and Kung Fu. Great Systema Spetsnaz DVD to practice!
Spetsnaz #7 - Wrist Locks (2013)
I would like to call it JOINT LOCKS applications.
I would like to call it JOINT LOCKS applications. The DVD covers the theory of levers and different joint movements. Theory of levers is the fundamental principle in Systema Spetsnaz (you will use it everywhere, for strikes, weapons self-defense, take-downs techniques etc.) Another fundamental principle of hand to hand combat is wrist locks and fingers locks. And this DVD covers it well! First you learn wrist locks, then follow up applications that will immobilize the attacker's elbow and shoulder. This DVD also has examples of different life situations that good to take into consideration: self defense in close hand to hand combat, wrist locks from knife threats and knife attack, wrist locks and finger locks working with guns, and some applications in combat with multiple opponents.
Spetsnaz #5: Internal Wave Energy (2013)
Absolutely love this Spetsnaz DVD!
The DVD title got my attention. Years of experience in Martial Arts taught me that physical strength if only one elements of delivering a good strike.
This DVD is teaches vital elements of creating powerful strikes, punches and kicks that a lot of other combat school are not mentioning. How to form a strike, how to generate that penetrating power to take-down your opponent.
The wave motion concept is simple, but highly effective!!!
Absolutely love this DVD! Great for joint mobility. I'd like to say that this Spetsnaz instructional video is CRUCIAL. Vadim was one of my old contacts teachers who introduced me to Systema and the wave energy is key to powerful strikes in the Systema Spetsnaz.
Spetsnaz #6: Knife in Close Combat (2013)
One of the best, simple and effective DVDs of weapons defense!
I have seen many different martial arts and combative systems. I don't think I've ever seen that has such a simple and effective ground for weapons defense.
This DVD includes several self defense techniques against different kind of knives (single or double blade). Dodges, disarming the knife using strikes, kicks, joint blocks, wrist locks, applications using your hands and/or your body, including action for self defense and offensive actions for soldiers in knife combat.
Systema Spetsnaz is different from most other videos because it teaches us what to do to reduce the chance of knife cuts during the confrontation in close combat.
Spetsnaz #4: Strikes - Punches - Kicks (2013)
This DVD is an eye opener!
This DVD consists strikes with your hands, elbow, head, punches with fist, and kicks. You will also learn where to hit (primary striking zones), how to strikes and different combinations (multiple strikes and kicks), including strikes to disarm a weapon, shocking strikes, immobilizing strikes etc. This DVD is an eye opener! It will give you a lot of ideas of developing new striking methods that you never thought about before.
One of my favorite Systema Spetsnaz DVD! A lot of useful and easy to follow strikes and punches. I've been in Martial Arts for the last 8 years and this DVD surprised me. Several unique concepts that you will not find in any other Martial Art. Thank you for the incredible knowledge!
Spetsnaz #2: Spetsnaz Training - World War II: Present Time (2013)
Go to a deeper level. This Spetsnaz DVD is the path to Russian Spetsnaz mastery!
There are a lot of Martial Arts DVDs that are teaching specific techniques. This film is unique. It teaches the mentality of Russian Spetsnaz soldier, which in my opinion is extremely important. By knowing Russian Spetsnaz psychology, by understanding their missions, seeing old footage from War, I can relay to what a solder might feel and go through. You can practice combat techniques, but together by understanding what it mean to be a spetsnaz soldier, by feeling it with your heart will make your technique more effective. After watching this DVDs. I noticed that my body started moving differently. It's like an actor - once you feel the role - you don't have to think how to act, you are just doing it. Same is here! Very, Very good approach. You can learn a lot from history and spetsnaz mentality!!! Go to a deeper level. This is the path to Russian Spetsnaz mastery!
Spetsnaz #3: Elements & Exercises (2013)
Great set of exercises that will prepare your muscle and joints for combat!
This Spetsnaz DVD starts from simple exercises and goes to more advanced exercises. It has wave motions, circular rotation, a lot of weight transfer exercises (push ups and pull ups) and different body movements. Russians are good in implementing joint rotations to increase range of motions. Work with balance and train muscles are necessary to achieve flexibility and mobility. In this Spetsnaz DVD you will also learn coordination, that will be extremely useful for defensive and offensive techniques in other Spetsnaz DVDs. The most important for me is that this DVD helps to prevent body injuries and teaches how to stay in good shape, develop flexibility, physical strength and stay healthy.
Spetsnaz #1: The Warrior's Path (2013)
It covers a broad spectrum of topics about Russian Martial Arts and Spetsnaz fighting
The warrior path gives an introduction to systema spetsnaz history, and exercises will prepare your body physically. At the same time it includes basic movements you will use in the techniques later. You will learn about stability and balance, strikes, kicks, weapons, disarming techniques, improvised weapons, physical resistance against fire, broken glass, knives, pressure points, action against different threats. There are also some information for military and law enforcement courses, and a bit of mental training which is covered in later Spetsnaz films. In summary, this film is a great choice if you want to know briefly what Systema Spetsnaz is about. It covers a broad spectrum of topics succinctly, giving a good explanation about Russian Martial Arts and main concept of Spetsnaz fighting.
Spetsnaz #17: Combat Duality (2014)
