scott sonnons stuff is more out of systema than sambo. he went to russia because of sambo and then discovered systema, although i think its a slightly different line to mikhail, vlad, etc.

re: knifework. i dont think your supposed to take it literally. IMO systema is closer to a contact/partner bodywork method than a martial art. wd40 for all martial arts if you will
