I think you'd be better off with a cross between Aikido and Ch'in Na.

Systema is a martial art native to Russia. It originated in the eastern part of the country to fend of the Invaders from the east. During the communist revolution the practice of this martial art was suppressed and replaced with Sambo. Sambo is a newer martial art based on Russian folk wrestling, Jujitsu, and Goju Karate. Systema during communist rule was only practiced by the elite spetznaz (special forces) teams. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Vasiliev brought this martial art to the west with him. His school in Toronto is the main Systema school in the world. Dedicated Systema practitioners fast (no food or Water) for 24 hours once a week and douse them selves twice daily (dump a bucket of ice cold water over themselves outside in any weather).
