by Vladimir Vasiliev
In 1997, this concise and informative book was released as a supplement to Vladimir Vasiliev’s instructional videos. Unplanned, this book gained huge popularity and became a stand alone production.
It includes a brief history of Russian Martial Art, outstanding details on the Soviet Special Units training, insightful teaching tips, philosophy of combat, tips for achieving mastery in combative skills and enhancing your health.
Although some information in The Russian System Guidebook may no longer be up-to-date, the interest in it has always been present.
To commemorate the 25 years of Systema Headquarters Toronto, this anniversary edition has been expanded with enhanced quality illustrations and helpful training articles.

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
