All good martial arts are the same in different countries, althought they have different names, terms, the uniform.
Special forces don't use anything secret in their technique. All elements are simple, well-known, tested many times.
A lot of instructors like to tell that their martial art is used for special forces training. But it is only an advertisement statement.

systema is not useless- i have done at least 5 different martial arts, and of all the martial arts i have done in my life (and i have been doing them for a while) i have found systema to be the most complete, and devastating martial art of all. and quite liberating too as most martial arts teach you to do a certain stance, and do a certain move, a certain way- in systema, nothing is off limits. that is the beauty of it- it teaches you to be fearless whereas other martial arts teach you to have fear- that is all that an aggresive pose demonstrates- is fear on the part of the demonstrater. most martial arts teaches you to be afraid. and systema teaches you about the human soul and about yourself.
