What are your other intrests?

[Master Boid]

I am interested in, get ready for it:

Martial Arts (Bujinkan Ninjutsu, Chow Gar Mantis Kung Fu, JKD, Systema, Kali, Docre Pares, Iaido and Aikido.)

Foreign Languages, so far German, French, Japanese and Russian (and Gaihdlig if you count it)

Apart from that I'd say different cultures histories and languages as well as the pole and clothing. Genealogy and history interest me a lot, as does rugby (football is ok).

As well as various types of bladed weapondry, from the smallest knife to the largest great-sword.

Apart from that I like to chill/hang out with my mates.

Systema on the other hand is a Russian combat orientated MA:

Systema

Systema UK

Most of the strikes an drills are amazingly odd looking, if a little unuseful but I usually just use what can be used in a situation, despite how bad it may look.

Is this trad Japanese Jiujitsu or Brazilian Jiujitsu (BJJ)? I was under the impression that Japanese style was standing up and required more strength and that BJJ was a ground grappling style.

Most MA's emphasise technique over strength, BJJ is more a Vale Tudo type form of traditional JJ used by many MMA'tists...though obviously if you don't have some muscle behind it it usually doesn't work.
