Hi mate, I have done quite a few other martial arts, mainly muay thai and escrima. In my opinion, Systema is definitely the best one for me. It is based on basic principles and not techniques, and these principles can be applied to all situations, ranges etc. Like I mentioned on my earlier post thou...

I've been doing Systema for the past 6months or so. It is something you really have to try to understand. It's not everyones cup of tea and the training methods are a lot different to other martial arts I have done, but its definitely worth having a go. Since you are in London, Dave Kirrilov's club ...

I had a pair of orthotics fitted after frequent trouble with shinsplints and a few knee problems. Glad to say they have sorted it all out and I haven't suffered from any problems since getting them. One thing I would recommend though is concentrating on flexibility a bit more, as the podiatrist I we...

Skiffle, I'm 20, I'm currently working as a retail supervisor. I've been following this program since the beginning of December and my running distance is 2 miles on Monday and 4 miles on Wednesday and I increase this distance every 2 weeks. I was following the same program for 3months prior to my i...

While we are on the subject, I could really use an informed opinion. I'm currently training 5 days a week, and I'm hoping to do my PRMC in late april or early may. The problem is I've only been able to train since the beginning of december after a long break due to a fractured foot (perfectly healed...

Political correctness rears its ugly head yet again. God forbid that someone be shouted at! What would that do to their fragile self-esteem?! What utter nonsense. I too hope the case is chucked out. Unfortunately, what with the Deepcut scandal and all, once the word 'bullying' is mentioned by the me...

RN Medical Assistant certainly sounds like an interesting career, and bonus if you do your All Arms. As for my running, I'm giving it another couple of weeks before my first jog. I've been walking on it a lot recently and doing excercises a podiatrist recommended to get it back to strength. At the m...

Cheers for the welcome mate. Unfortunately I didn't do anything to the genius who crushed my foot. But I DID yell 'you stupid f*cking b*stard!' at him, before I hit the ground and writhed in agony, causing everyone in the store to come rushing over and gawk at my rapidly swelling foot :D What was yo...

Hi everyone. Just registered and thought I'd do a quick intro. My name is Pete, I'm 20 and am hoping to become a Royal Marine next year. I'm hoping to do my PRMC fairly early next year, probably april. It would be earlier, but my training was rudely interrupted by a fractured foot, thanks to a colle...
