Riposte Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 long time ago, in a distant galaxy... mmmm nope. Long time ago, i have ask if someone have an idea about systema martial art for Dark champions. Since i have try it for one year. I am a martial art practionner since long time...but i have all pain in the world to describe it... Not like sambo, not like commando training, not like jiujitsu, kind of aïkido with more strike than joint lock...and weapon use... As some spestnaz use it, if someone have a good advice i take it...

Hyper-Man Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 HSMA6e page 77 shows: Russian martial arts: In addition to Sambo, Russian martial arts include Systema (a martial art taught to Russian special forces, similar to Commando Training), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systema Unarmed techniques: Chokehold, Clinch, Elbow strike, Headbutt, Hold, Kick, Knee strike, Joint lock, Punch, Sweep, Takedown, Throw. Based on this information I would model it in HERO by starting with Commando Training and change accordingly. Remember that HERO combat maneuvers are just the mechanics. A Commando Training Block may look completely different than a Systema Block. HM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'll need to google a few videos buy as HM said (and took me awhile to comprehend) the mechanics can be the same the special effect is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 The HERO System Martial Arts book would answer your question. They pre-built a long list of real world styles as well as several fictional ones. Just seeing how they approached the various builds would go a long way.

Ninja-Bear Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Riposte I looked at a Youtube video that featured several stylist so bear that in mind. There seemed to be some sort of punch thats not your typical brute punch but more of a slap. So I would look at as you said Aikido for most maneuvers. The slap punch (please tell me what name it is called) coukd be defined as I saw it 3 ways. 1) renamed Atemi strike. Atemi does NND damage however it is at 2D6 so wont knock out even a regular person. 2) renamed Offensive strike. Here the +4D6 will be closer to doing a knock out on a regular person. (Afair, Aikdo doesn't have the offensive strike but you can add any maneuvers as needed to reflect your style.) 3) Or a custom build especialy if you have UMA 5th with power modifiers attached to a martial skill.

bubba smith Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I THINK that systema is covered in the martial arts book but i'm not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riposte Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 well Systema is not covered in Ultimate martial art. The strike in Systema is not a Nnd, offensive, yes why not. There is no real throw, most are kind of takedown. All part of the body are used to strike. Yes, even by practising it and having UMA i dont find a right way to describe it... Poor me, and thanks for your answsers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinecone Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yeah, UMA does not have anything...but it is not well known, outside of Russia anyway. I saw a training video back in the day, and it looked like a unique sort of Jiujitsu...some, well several styles use strikes... Systema: Defensive Strike, Escape, Defensive Block, Take Down, Advanced users can take more moves....Breakfall required as well..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The section I quoted earlier was part of the following section of Hero System Martial Arts 6e starting on page 76: OTHER STYLESThe following styles are ones the author came across while researching this book, but for which he lacked sufficient information to create a complete description. Players can do their own research or construct their own versions of these styles if they wish. HM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJoe3 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 HSMA has at least three different styles of military martial arts: "Commando Training," Krav Maga (Israeli), and the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (USA). (I may have overlooked others.) If I was building Systema, I would start with one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Riposte how would describe the punch then? Then perhaps we can get a better maneuver. However, (and I've been one) due to the system, a lot of special effects are only described by a small amount of mechanical maneuvers. Oh and we can always try to build the punch through powers too.

massey Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I once read a description of Krav Maga that said its entire purpose was to disable your opponent long enough so that you can get to your gun. My guess is that Systema or any other "special forces" type martial art would be the same. If you're training military personnel, you want it to be something that can be learned quickly and easily. It wouldn't use a lot of flashy maneuvers, just something quick and dirty and effective. Knowing next to nothing about the art itself, I'd give it something like this: Chokehold -- -2 OCV, +0 DCV, 2D6 NND, Grab Disarming Throw -- +0 OCV +0 DCV., +1D6 to take away weapon, target falls Grappling Block -- +1 OCV +1 DCV, grab one limb, block Joint Break -- -1 OCV -2 DCV. grab one limb, 1/2D6 HKA Martial Strike -- +0 OCV +2 DCV, +2D6 Takedown -- +1 OCV +0 DCV, +0D6, target falls You're not gonna get the big, powerful strikes that you'd get from Tae Kwon Do or any of the other flashy striking arts. It's not that type of martial art. I just pulled a bunch of combo moves from Hero Designer, moves that do more than one thing at a time. So most everything does a little bit of damage in addition to letting you grab somebody or put them on the ground. If you're fighting somebody of equal Dex and Spd, that's a big advantage. It gives you more control over the fight. And remember, your goal isn't to out-kick the karate guy, it's to break his hand so you can go get your gun off the ground and shoot him.

Ninja-Bear Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I saw that some were calling the systema punch a ballistic punch. (I wouldn't mind to take a seminar sometime in RL about it.) It seems though that they only focus on hitting the Solar Plexus with it. Which isn't bad but you can't hit 100% there all the time in RL. Yes getting hit in the Solar Plexus hurts been hit there several times and even an Axe kick to the neck too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riposte Posted August 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I may have find a solution: one of my friend is long time (7 years old) practitionner of systema) and also a rpg player. I have made him read the rules, and we will work together to construct systema Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndianaJoe3 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 I see a few problems with it. It lacks a basic Strike maneuver. I can see how the art is supposed to work tactically (Block followed by Counterstrike), but that cedes the initiative to the opponent. It has two Grabs and two Throws, That seems to be unnecessary duplication. Shove and Root are odd choices for a real-world military combat art. You've given the style a lot of, "combo" maneuvers but few, "basic" ones. There are a lot of weapons elements, and many of them don't complement the maneuvers. "Clubs (Chair)" is covered under, "Clubs." "Assault Rifle/LMG" may also fall under there, depending on how it is used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadmar von Wieser Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Judging from several videos I just watched Systema (at least in basic techniques and philosophy) actually is purely reactive and mainly consists of combinations of Block, Grab and Throw (or to put it better: Force Down).And of course as most Military Martial Arts the weaponless part is only the last resort and most maneuvres usually are used with knife, club or gun. I like HMs build, especially Grappling Throw and Disarming Throw, which seem to be so essential to Systema that they do not appear to be redundant.But shove and root do not seem to fit, neither in Systema's philosophy nor in practical use.Perhaps instead add a conventional4 Martial Escape ½ +0 +0 +15 STR vs. Grabs And +2 CSLs with Grab, Throw, Rolling with a Punch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Anybody know of a good book if Systema? Some of those basic remind me of bunkai for traditonal kata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I included the Shove and Root maneuvers because many of the early youtube videos featuring Aleksey Alekseyevich Kadochnikov show him being dog piled by multiple opponents and throwing them all off with one smooth motion. It looked suspiciously like something out of Tai Chi Chuan to I included those maneuvers. Think of them as "advanced" systema if you wish.
