Mikhail Ryabko (born May 6, 1961) is a Colonel[1] in the Russian military, serves as a Special Advisor to the Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation (currently Alexandr Konovalov) and is the founder of Ryabko's Systema.
His martial training was started at the age of five, by a member of Joseph Stalin's personal bodyguards with traditional Russian martial arts training. At 15 he was enlisted to the ranks of Spetsnaz (Russian special forces) and has served since.[2]
He is active as a martial trainer and advisor and is the author of several publications as well as a textbook on the tactics of Special Operations.[3]
Notes and references
- ^ In the Russian military, ranking and security access are directly tied. Ryabko is officially a Colonel but because he is a government special advisor, he has been awarded a rank of General for security clearance purposes.[citation needed]
