At the "extremes" Systema relies less on technique than Sombo and will tend more to takedowns than throws All I know of Systema …

Systema has been presented in some Western media as a Russian martial art, although it is not clear it exists as a single martial art.

There are three branches of Sambo: International Sport Sambo, Combat Sambo, and Military Sambo. Sambo, bayonet, stage combat, executive protection, hand to hand, and the rest escape me at the moment, sorry. These combat systems included sport sambo, combat sambo, and Samoz, which later evolved into Systema. Within MMA techniques are taken from Savate, all forms of Karate, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Freestyle and Greco-Roman Wrestling, Sambo, Boxing, and really anything else that works under pressure. Let me define MMA.
Systema is just nonsense. SAMBO v ROSS vs SYSTEMA - I posted this in the Judo forum but if anyone can provide me an answer, since I was not able to provide my brother an answer when he asked, what is the difference between SAMBO, SYSTEMA, and ROSS?

Systema (Система, Sistema, literally meaning "system") has been presented in some Western media as a Russian martial art, although it is not clear it exists as a single martial art.There are multiple schools of systems that began appearing after the end of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, with teachers claiming their respective "systems" (usually named after themselves). MMA is not a set of techniques, it is a set of rules, which are very loose. Systema is an offshoot of combat sambo. And ironically, the best Krav Maga instruction I've seen is taught by someone who is also an assistant Coach in Combat Sambo. SAMBO v ROSS vs SYSTEMA - I posted this in the Judo forum but if anyone can provide me an answer, since I was not able to provide my brother an answer when he asked, what is the difference between SAMBO, SYSTEMA, and ROSS? Each has different rules/applications, Sport Sambo being pure grappling, Combat Sambo being an MMA like competition, and military Sambo an actual combat version for soldiers. He never said it was lacking value, just that it was not what it is marketed to be. Sysetma is a water-down, less effective, untested version of military Sambo. Differences will depend largely on the instructors - Systema is a fairly general term and some Systema teachers have a Sambo background, or have at least studied CS during their military career, so the lines can be blurred.

Coincidence?

I was somewhat unsatisfied with my progress.

My own coach, life long military and nearly 70 years old now used to say that systema was a less practical offshoot of combat sambo.

I have once (ONCE) seen non-nonsense Systema being demonstrated and taught.

And, unsurprisingly, it was utterly indistinguishable from Combat Sambo (which is why it worked).

Before I encountered systema I was involved in JJJ with competitive tournaments. It is defined by a scientific approach to biomechanics, breath training, and combat psychology.

But as you can see, it has a lot to offer. Sambo: Sambo is a child of Judo, except it has evolved in the opposite direction as Judo.
