Certain School Principles
We belong to the " Old Schools" of Ju-Jutsu.
In which important part was not formal practicing of techniques but effectiveness of real combat.
Ju-Jutsu in our understanding is a something that exist between two punches.
This could be sword strikes, knife or any other attack, even shots.
If technique is suitable for this, then it will be used. If not then it will be thrown away.
And it does not matter how effective and beautiful it can be.
Techniques should be based on no more then 2-3 moves. Ideally on one move.
So it will not be difficult to choose.
We do not have division between the striking, throwing, chocking and pain techniques.
One move in different conditions utilized it's own different sides.
It is not possible effectively unite techniques from Judo, Karate, Kick-Boxing, Aikido and other Martial Arts. Which received it's original discovery during it's own evolution in one whole. Each of this systems is self sufficient and effective enough. And have it's own bio-mechanical moves. That's why trying to improve it's own system by adding the structure of moves from other systems ( lately has been practice by other schools ), turning out to be not efficient. It would be more correct to teach the wrestler more striking techniques. For example the simple boxing techniques that will be working with his wrestling foundation moves and skills. And to teach a boxer simple wrestling techniques, that can naturally blend with the boxing techniques.
So it's important not to violate the general stereotypes. That will permit the fighter effectively act in real combat.
Realistic fight will last only a couple of seconds. And the fighter needs to be prepared for the fast and short match.
We have to tack in the consideration that the realistic fight one on one and without weapons is actually is an exception then norm.
That's why it is important to train tactics and techniques with multiples opponents.
In fact the techniques that are used, determined by tactics of fight.
The big attention in our school is given to "cold weapons". Since it is the most often used in life.
And has more psychological effect.
Technique - is a possibility of doing certain acts in a situations of hard psychological and physical pressure.
And not a gymnastics in pairs.
It is impossible to execute technique in a fight,
even the best one's. Without having certain physical preparation.
Internal energy can manifest only thru external.
Ideally with age a person who is practicing martial arts has to became stronger, but not weaker. How it happens in many sports combat. And have to be more healthier then his pierce. That's why the techniques that learns teens students is different from techniques of 25-30 year old men. And in it's own way will be more different from techniques of fifty year old men.
There is a transformation of techniques with the age.
The most important aspect of the fight not to win but to remain alive.
To survive from attack you can be physically weaker then your opponent but your spirit can not be weaker. There is exist only two conditions: you attack, second - you leave the fight. If you avoided the fight, then you already won. Even if you run from your opponent, you are not just surviving by running, but choosing the moment of attack.
Can not completely teach how to act in extreme situations others, he who does not have similar experience.
The Founder of the school is Master Nikolay Vasiliev
The school has been establish since 1971.
The foundation techniques are based on the school of Ju-Jitsu. Widely practiced in northern Japan.
But the big influence came from techniques of hand to hand combat.
That was taught by former military veterans and members of the special forces.
Also influence of the development of school was primitive street fighting after the war era.
And like in many schools there was also influence from western masters like: V. Levsky, B. Tegner, W. Jay and others.
Starting from the foundation the school techniques where tested in Combat and in normal life.
Currently the school has couple of branches: Sports and major one is Self-Defense.
And also preparation of Special Operations Units.
Most of the students are members of military, and government agencies.
That have practical experience using the techniques.
