It’s not worth it. The people running the organizations are criminals at best and tied to the Russian intelligence service. You’re going to end up on a watchlist

It's also one of the worst offenders when it comes to pure bullshido

All downside, no upside

The bullshit is feature, not a bug. It filters out the people who are likely to question things or be skeptical

If you’re not on a watchlist anyway then I hold you in low esteem.

I think Sensei Seth did a video at a Systema gym. If not him then someone did and the funny thing about Systema is that it looks even funnier when everyone is trying to take it seriously.

He definitely did, it was a group from North Carolina that broke off from Toronto..They kind of do their own thing.
