Russain martial arts

[Jackey]

I was looking around at http://www.russianmartialart.com and was wondering if anyone trains in it or has any opinions about it.

Is it realy as devastating as the site makes it out to be?

I have some of the video's, and from what I have seen it is impressive. While elememts of it are unique to the system, such as its strikes, you can see where it has drawn on the better elements of many martial arts. It therefor isn't a new revolutionary system, but in its own right it is one of the most comprehensive fighting systems available.

I've got some of Vladimir's videos as well ( took a chance on a TRS ad ) and I've gotta say that he doesn't make the claim that he'll make you unbeatable in a matter of minutes, as a matter of fact he says about 3 months to become proficient. But I definitely agree with XS it's a very comprehensive system and best of all the methods are tailored around your personal reactions and it's a "complete" system ( striking, grappling-both standing and groundfighting, weapons, etc. ).
Hope it helps
