The
goal of Combat Systema is not to learn how to beat an ass. That's
something that you pick up if you stick with it for long enough, but
it's scenery, not the destination. Anyone who has that as their final
goal is misguided. Unless you live in a penal colony, you will spend
almost exactly 0% of your life fighting. Spending years on that is a
pretty poor return on investment.
We study Combat Systema
because learning to accomplish your will in the face of determined and
skillful resistance is a Pretty Good Skill To Have.
It translates well to a lot of things that aren't prison.
