It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our founder, Mikhail Vasilyevich Ryabko, in April 2023. His life's work has been a testament to the effectiveness and depth of Systema Ryabko. Born on May 6, 1961, he served in various capacities including as a Senior Counsellor in Justice of the RF General Prosecutor Office and 1st Class Counsellor in Justice of the RF Ministry of Justice. His career spanned roles in law enforcement, special units, and even as an advisor to the RF Minister of Justice. Over a decade, he served in special units, participated in military actions, and was involved in hostage release operations. He has received numerous awards, including from the RF President and the Russian Orthodox Church. His teachings and philosophy will continue to guide us as we honor his legacy.
Systema Ryabko is more than just a martial art; it's a comprehensive system designed for the holistic development of individuals. It combines physical training with psychological and spiritual exercises. The goal is to form a harmonious personality capable of self-development and societal improvement. Systema is not about destruction; it's about building—building your body, your psyche, your family, and even your country. It is a unified training and education system that can be applied to anyone, regardless of sex, age, physical condition, nationality, or religion. It aims to improve the function of all seven physiological systems of the body and all three levels of human abilities: the physical, the psychological, and the spiritual.
Systema has its roots deeply embedded in the martial culture of Slavonic nations, a culture that has evolved over centuries and remains one of the unsolved mysteries in world history. The martial system was based on tactics that prioritized survival in battle, whether it be single combat, group fights, or against a superior enemy. Systema incorporates orthodox traditions and military experience, making it a unique blend of spirituality and combat effectiveness. It has been refined through various historical events, from the Battle of the Ice to the Battle of Kulikovo, and even into modern times where it was classified as "top secret" in the Soviet Army. This rich history makes Systema a unique and effective martial art that stands apart from others.
Systema Ryabko incorporates specialized massage techniques aimed at enhancing physical and psychological well-being. These techniques are designed to relieve tension, improve circulation, and promote overall health. The Systema approach to massage is holistic, focusing not just on the physical aspects but also on the psychological and spiritual dimensions of well-being.
Systema Ryabko is not just about martial prowess; it's about overall health and well-being. The system incorporates exercises and techniques that improve cardiovascular health, enhance muscular strength, and promote mental clarity. The focus is on creating a balanced individual who is not just physically fit but also mentally and spiritually healthy.
