Makes me think of this: http://videosift.com/video/Fist-of-the-North-Star-Punches
What Systema looks like once you've reached a certain level
It is true that MMA is not the be-all end-all of martial arts,and in fact "two persons of equivalent weight competing willingly on neutral ground" is quite far removed from "actual trouble" (key words: "two", "willingly").
That being said, two things:
1) There have been 'no-hold-barred' fights / underground duels recorded since at least the 1920s, some of them very violent and bone-splitting (famously: Kimura Vs Gracie), and 'soft' aikido-style systems never won anything.
2) More importantly, systema does claim a number of things, including being a martial art in the military sense, and being the product of an elite military force, to which it was reserved (i.e. it was secret). It also claims to have semi-mystical roots dating from the middle ages, and bonker stuff like 'paralyzing soft punch' and 'healing punch' (this is claimed by its actual founder - you can look it up). Of course none of those claims have been substantiated.
So systema is either:
- An elite martial art with Fist-Of-The-North-Star like powers, yet no one heard of it before or beside (not pre-USSR historians, not recognized Russian martial artists, and not actual Russian elite military officers), and was/is super-secret, yet can be somehow taught to anyone.
Or:
- Stuff made up by two guys out of the army.
You decide.
If your goal is "studying" and "bettering yourself", shouldn't that involve something that's honest with its claims?
I agree with Velocity5, it is, indeed, self-deception.

How to make the Matrix punching effect
Actually, it reminds me more of Fist of the North Star (aka Hokuto No Ken), but I'm a huge dork.
