I’ve had the original book in my briefcase ever since it was first published. It’s highlighted all over the place. This is a book that needs to be in your library as a foundational work. Many of the insights briefly discussed in all of Vladimir’s videos and instructions are spelled out fully in this work. This is a book you will probably reference time and again, regardless of where you’re at in your training.

The original version is in my top 10 favorite books on martial arts so I had to get the expanded,enhanced version. The knowledge and wisdom shared in this book definitely gives you a great understanding of The System. Even if you don’t practice this art in particular, the information presented here is priceless and a great add on to whatever art you enjoy. Thanks Mr. Vladimir Vasiliev for the reissue. I’m ordering it now. Peace

A small book with very, very large concepts. As with everything having to do with Systema, large concepts appear as small things… but in reality, the smallest things in Systema are large, in truth. Bravo. Thank you for this book!

I recently purchased the anniversary edition of the Russian System Guidebook and just wanted to say thank you for the material and sharing it with me. Your training, especially the internal work is changing my life.

This is such a practical yet comprehensive book on the principles of Systema. It’s an easy ready, but packed with important information and wisdom. As soon as I finished it, I read it again, and will continue to do so! It’s a must have.

I was so glad when there came a reprint of this Book. Losing my original when I borrowed it to someone who never returned it. This book contains so many large concepts easily explained it’s a great book to start your own Systema Book Collection
