Giuseppe Filotto

Giuseppe Filotto was born in Italy but has lived for many years in both Africa and Europe. He has been involved in martial arts from childhood, achieving a 2nd Dan black belt in Shotokan Karate-Do (WSKF), and worked as an armed close protection services operative for several years in South Africa. He has been training in Systema, the Russian Martial System, exclusively since 2003 and established Way of Systema in 2009, which remained the largest Systema organisation in London, where he taught and trained until 2014 when other commitments meant he handed the organisation and the teaching to others. He is a qualified clinical hypnotist and author and has worked for over 30 years in the financial and legal aspects of construction services. He has lived in Italy, Nigeria, Botswana, South Africa, and England and travelled to many other countries. After being briefly an atheist, then an almost life-long Zen-Agnostic, he had a very unexpected Road to Damascus moment in 2013 and after a few years of intense study was baptised as a Sedevacantist (aka Catholic). He has written non-fiction books on diverse topics in which he invested years of study as personal curiosities, these include The Face on Mars (1995 - non Fiction about the planet Mars, updated and re-issued in 2014); Systema - The Russian Martial System (2011); Believe! (2019 0n Christianity/Catholicism/Sedevacantism); Reclaiming the Catholic Church (2020 on the history of the infiltration and near destruction of Catholicism). He also has written several SF books and RPG Gamebooks. You can find out more about him at his online blog: www.gfilotto.com.
