Part II
– I understand that you started to work with the Kadochnikov Systema not so long ago but still can you tell how it has affected you and changed you worldview?
– As I said before the book I’ve read totally changed my worldview and attitude to many things even to religion. I understood that people can’t live without these things. It also influenced my attitude to our country, nation and army. I disagree with those who try to evade conscription.
The Kadochnikov Systema allows a man to bring his intellectual, spiritual and physical abilities to a new level. A person will be able to defend himself. He will get interested in exact sciences such as geometry, mathematics, physics, anatomy. He won’t be scared to serve in the army if he is prepared to it. A person shouldn’t be afraid of serving his country. Unfortunately this situation is common in our country today. Sadly I wasn’t in the army as I graduated university with a military department. As far as I remember the officers in the reserve especially engineers were not needed in the army at that period. Nevertheless I believe that service in the army is very important for a man. It systemizes all his ability and talents, makes him more responsible.
Of course there are still a lot of problems in the army but I hope we will overcome them soon. I strongly believe that it is very important to teach and train young men before the army. Fortunately nowadays there are a lot of military and patriotic clubs, various groups where young people can learn martial arts such as karate and sambo. Although they are martial arts of sport type it will be enough for a young man to get ready to some tests in the army because competitions harden a man’s nature.
-And the last question. How do you think the Kadochnikov Systema will develop in the future?
– Ideally I think that it is necessary to open representative offices in every city of our country. And the Systema should be gradually introduced in schools at least as an optional subject. It would be great if the elements of the lower acrobatics, technique of overbalancing and fighting against an armed man from the Kadochnikov Systema were compulsory exercises at the physical training lessons. I think it should be combined with the lessons on basics of personal and social safety. Or this material should be given at the military training that earlier used to be a subject at school. I think this kind of lessons is very important for young people and should be induced again.
And those who got interested in the Kadochnikov Systema should be given an opportunity to study it in depth. I can assure you only need to start and you won’t be able to stop. You will get eager to learn more and more of the Systema. This will be a symbiosis of intellectual and physical training. Of course you can’t forget about spiritual development. I heard that in schools in Vologodsk region pupils study basics of ethics and religion. I find this tendency very absolutely right. Many people of our generation have very superficial knowledge about religion and make baseless judgments on the subject. Everyone should know at least the most common things before he or she could decide whether they need this or not. This refers to all kind of activities: religion, physical training, active duty or others. Thus I think that the Kadochnikov Systema should be taught in schools, universities, technical schools and so on.
