Memories from 1995 at Systema HQ Toronto. Knife throwing after class with Vladimir Vasiliev. Rarely done - the blade can be thrown to hit the target from the attacker's knife hand. The knife is not only disarmed, but is also sent flying right into the target.

In this demo, Vladimir shows how to move freely and smoothly, blending with the attacker's movements.
Note the correct distance is the distance of non-tension.
Being too close or too far from the opponent will give you needless tension.
Try to be close enough to reach and control, yet far enough so that the attacker feels no threat.

Beat the Odds – Defense Against 2 or 3 Attackers
You face an attacker… Then another appears at your side… Now you hear a noise from behind…
This is the brutal reality of small group attacks by 2 or 3 cruel assailants.
This is the threat scenario that most martial arts do not teach, do not want you wondering about, and do not want to admit even exists.
Because it looks like the toughest of all.
There is only one way out:
Study to overcome the most ruthless threat you will ever face, directly from the professional who has faced it himself and survived:
World-renowned master of Systema – Vladimir Vasiliev of Russian Special Operations Unit.
Learn what it takes to break the attacks, deliver and avoid multiple strikes, kicks, grabs, timing, distance, preemptive moves, single blows to multiple targets, redirecting and lightening-fast short work, disarming knives and sticks, indoors and outside, as well as the previously unrevealed mechanism: Transformation of Strikes.
Thugs do not take chances – they make sure the odds are always in their favor.
Your only chance is to turn the tables and when the odds are against you – Beat Them Down!
