I have been studying the Russian martial art known as Systema for a little while now. Apparently the two main instructors are going to give a demonstration at the UN. Here is the info from their e-mail update:
Systema Founders Mikhail Ryabko and Vladimir Vasiliev have been invited to present Russian Martial Art at the United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan on Wednesday, October 24th, 2007. Celebrating the United Nations’ Commitment to Peace on its 62nd Anniversary, three or four of the world Martial Art have been selected to present their styles to the Untied Nations Assembly.
After the presentation, the Systema masters will be filmed for the new Discovery Channel program. The filming will take place on Thursday October 25th And then… Mikhail Ryabko and Vladimir Vasiliev will stay in Manhattan, New York to teach special workshops at Fighthouse on Friday October 26th from 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm and on Saturday October 27th from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.For more details and to register for the workshops contact Edgar at: 212-807-9202 or systema@fighthouse.com
Scott Sonnon of RMAX International also has some updates. He is an expert in the Russian martial arts (although not the same as Ryabko/Vasiliev above) and is currently involved in training an MMA fighter for the UFC. Anyway it looks like you'll be able to see him on TV soon as well:
If you're waiting for the highly anticipated History Channel's HUMAN WEAPON Episode on Russian Sambo, featuring Scott Sonnon's Coach Alexander Retuinskih, here is the information we've received:
HUMAN WEAPON Episode on Russian Sambo will run on Nov. 9 on the History Channel at 10 p.m. EST.
