Thanks for the comment Paul, your comparisons between Systema and BJJ are interesting.. perhaps Systema's advantage is because it doesn't fit the sporting model, and multiples, kicks and weapons are difficult to referee... :)

You are right that Systema study would never give you the skill set against a decent grappler, but one thing it does do is prepare the body for grappling training. Also a lot of the movement paterns are the same as in BJJ which also helps.

When comparing groundwork between grappling styles and systema one advantage systema has is that it covers defending yourself from kicks and multiple attackers on the floor. I have yet seen a grappling style do this as they tend to tie themselves into the attacker. So I guess as much as we can learn from grapplers they have something to get from us.
