I spent some time with a group in Pennsylvania ironically enough it was the ROSS System.
The concepts were complicated and based on ideas of maximizing power through joint recruitment.
The methods were specific defense oriented and reminded me of Aikido more than anything else.
Now since there are about hundreds of varieties of systema, I can’t say where these guys fall into place.
But, looking at the videos at the beginning of this thread seems like if these people were in karate gis and not cammies, they would not get any attention.
Knocking someone out with a finger only happens when that finger’s on a trigger.
