Russian Martial Art Systema Maxim Franz

[tumpaijohn]

All the Systema haters out there need to really see it for themselves before talkin trash. like any art, you have some guys that don't train as hard as others and just want to have the T-shirt. but when you make these concepts part of your game, you will see. I have trained with Vladimir and Micheal, this guy is slick. i would love to do a seminar.

[MaidenProphecy]

@snoopay,,,I'm sure he knows about life and death a bit more than you do..if not,post your vid.

[itzcoldghost]

Damn he's fast.

[shacklebat]

i have seen this man on deadliest warrior

[CWHpr0ducti0ns]

Systema is the KING. the best of the best! btw is maxim franz really russian? he looks like one, but his last name sounds german...

[DennisL0L]

did anyone else realize that the two dudes hes fighting are clones, spetsnaz clones their live targets

[Samoaplaya]

Crazy deadliest warrior dude

[xXSkinMadnessXx]

Maxim Franz is one bad ass Russian Spetnaz

[luiggiibanez]

just imagine what this man has gone through, as an ex spetsnaz operator. This is real life, folks, unlike what you see on movies or call of duty

[pranav23]

thats the most lame ass techniques i have ever seen.....looks like someone tried copying phillipino art KALI and failed.

[WasupAlex]

@pranav23 You think it's copied. In fact systema exist since the 4th century. It's based on Bio-Mechanic and all combat system are based on Bio-mechanic so you could easily say it looks like failed Krav Maga,Kali or any other. But those "lame ass techniques" are efficient. I suggest you try it.

[truthisouttheir]

this guy looks very professional

[bigglebinks]

what kind of jacket is he wearing

[snoopay700]

Looks good except the last bit with the gun, seems kind of useless to tumble that much when scanning for a target. I don't get the whole flopping on the ground thing after 2:38, if someone can enlighten me i'd be happy. Of the two on deadliest warrior though he scares me the most because he hardly showed emotion, he sort of smiled a few times, and then it was just a creepy "i'm trying to look happy" smile lol.

[truthisouttheir]

@snoopay700 i think he just was showing that even when your on the ground you can still maneuver around and keep you gun pointed where your looking....

[alicamarkina]

@snoopay700 If you watched the episode of the Deadliest Warrior (Green Berets vs. Spetsnaz), you might have seen how Green Beret literally sucked in close range shooting when he had to move at the same time (even though both GB and S were brilliant in shooting aesthetic targets), while Spetsnaz guy took ~5 sec longer but killed all 3 targets. I think these exercise purpose is multifunctioning (moving, shooting AND hitting the target). Plus, 'flopping around' makes you worse target for your enemy

[snoopay700]

@alicamarkina Flopping around makes you an easier target for the enemy and 5 seconds can be the difference between life and death.

[detahdomo]

maxim is just too cool for school

[MakeLadiesHappy]

at deadliest warrior he took the best shots from a karateblack belt that is heavier than him, n looked like he didnt feel em, and by the way he has got a total lack of facial expression, pretty much like mma's fedor emelianenko, its incredible

[zhenyame]

ah nice

[ShittyGarfunk]

he looks really bored doing that shit

[ADumbDoor]

In the Deadliest Warrior episode with Maxim Franz, I don't think that they fully took into account how applicable Systema is in combat, both armed and unarmed. The fluidity of motion and ability to fire while constantly moving and thinking in 3 dimensions is too much of an advantage to ignore. These men fight against odds all the time, and are able to come out on top thanks to training and relaxation. Relaxation is unfortunately not taught enough, and the same could be said for breathing.

[Huhmasta]

maxim from deadliest warrior, sweeett.

[AngryVideoGameKidd2]

Systema is something

[HoneyMuff1n]

russians are the most evil in the world lol dont mess

[DennisL0L]

easy does it

[TheRachmaninoffFan]

Russian people are badass.

[BlueOysterCult89085]

i knew who maksim was before he was on deadliest warrior

[purpleAiPEy]

WHO. IS. DEADLIEST!

[cjcool91]

@purpleAiPEy Winner

Spetsnaz

[kipandus]

deadliest warrior

[see46]

@kipandus that show isn fair at all.... but its kinda cool lol

[RhythmDrummer]

systema is martial art that buts all martial arts to shame

[nakeysaw]

@RhythmDrummer Martial arts aren't necessarily better than one another, it's the practitioners that give you an idea of how the martial art is.

I'm pretty sure if you put up Bruce Lee against maxim in a fist fight he would have a much harder time that someone who's done tae kwon do for a year and thinks hes amazing. Anyone who masters something can use it to its fullest potential, this system of fighting is great, but doesn't take away from any other martial arts.

[chairmanmao89]

sonny lives in the states, hes an instructor for a company

Start your own systema study group.

I have and I am up to three people now

[polaris30000]

Finally, a style of close quarters fighting that actually works. No flying spinning kicks from across a room, and no backflips, just simple motions that conserve energy and provide maximum potential. Truely a brilliant fighting style.

[stevieola333]

I'm going to try to find systema class so i can learn some skills. Systema RULES!!!

[NewZealfighter]

get the videos start your own study group.

It is not easy because everyone seems to want to dissprove you and not understand the learning technologies of the system but no excuss you can still do it brother.

I started my own study group.Iam up to three people now.

[NewZealfighter]

get the videos and start your own study group with cool open minded chilled people.You can do it brother.

I have and Iam up to three people now.

[ilovfob]

where do you get the videos?

[NewZealfighter]

start your own systema study group with some cool people.

I have and I am up to three people now.

[stevieola333]

this is probably the MOST USEFUL martial art that you will ever learn, seriously, it is easily applicable in most, if not all situations and trust me, you don't want to mess with these guys.

[MakeLadiesHappy]

@stevieola333 systema isnt really a martial art, but it works better than all of em

[hydrashok556]

Sonny P lives in Texas and is occasionally an instructor at the Saurez International AK classes.

[ATMfromNJ]

anyone know about the school in brooklyn, ny?

[raitei202]

for those who dont know, Maxim is former Spetsnaz. has absolutely incredible form

[bckb604]

This guy trains me!!!!!!!!!!

[kamizarei]

Having trained with this guy at systema headquarters I can honestly say he is very good at what he does. He knows his stuff and is a pleasant with it. He actually changed my view on martial arts forever. For all the non believers out there systema is amazing and very very effective, but don't just take my word for it, join a class and see for yourself

[jabmalassie]

I did it for about a year. They are good I suck. It is hard to learn but I have actually used some of the things I learned from them in Judo and the instructor asked me what do I know he said it was brutal.

[incarnadinelifestyle]

Crazy Good!!!

[Clash5177]

excellent video!! Thanks!

[dmitrikonovich123]

I take it he's a point shooter lol. Great video!!

[hydrashok556]

Not necessarily, I believe he was in a "point shooting" position mainly because his "target" was so close to him.

[laoosting]

Great work! Thank you!
