he is exercising the movement.. it looks stupid hwen you look at it but when you go agains him you cant touch the bastard he evades and uses your own force against you making you tired.
@ennot ofcourse it will be hard to trace systema back, the soviet union didnt have 1 set hand to hand combat that was taught to all special forces, but rather quite a few skilled instructors that taught their style in their respective schools (its also hard to find out info about the kgb, doesnt mean they wernt real). If you cant see use in it, then u havent experienced it or been taught it correctly, because when ur there and you do the exercises you will see for yourself how effective it is
@christopher0223 ive never seen an olmipic sprinter win gold by training slow such as jogging. I think you have to practice 100 percent to become an effictive and gracefull fighter. Please correct me if i am wrong and let me know your opinion.
To the people who think this is "fake",you really show your ignorance of martial arts in general.
These people have been in life and death operations for a large part of their life, do you really think they practice something that doesnt work.Perhaps a study of the origin of the system
would clarify some of your inane comments and lack of knowledge.
these guys arent giving any resistance. its like aikido - bullshit. if u have ever been in mma or street fight u probably wouldnt buy this either... the use of leverage looks nice when somebody gives in so if u r counting on this technique to save ur ass u better run...
If you want to learn how to read body language witch IS THE KEY to being first to walk away! systema will teach you that like no other fighting / self defense style in the world. if you slow down just a second and pay attention it could save your life. often times people get snuck ( sucker punched ) witch catches them in a loop your thrown way off guard. reading body que's will teach you second nature to telegraph and know how to react before that big punch gets there. stay safe my friends.
this video casts away any doubts about systema i had. at first i thought it was all about suggestion and cooperative partners flying around like aikido, but here you can see these guys are trying to spar with ryabko non cooperatively and he effortlessly controls them.
@Tunerguy695 if its really that good I would like to spar someone who knows it well. I think it is based on the instructor and the way u learn it not just the art
Systema far surpasses any form of martial art. I have been taking it for a while and instead of guessing on systema. Learn it! It is a great art that a true warrior will enjoy
@punisher5474 Yes, much like taijutsu - Google "Trevor Robinson" who's on here as geikiruydojo (former Ninjutsu instructor). No messing with occult spiritism, though, a profound advantage (I had my share of that stuff in Silat, it's nothing to mess with).
the attackers are trying to hit, kick, or control mike. as soon as they start doing it, mike disrupts the motion and "helps" them off balance.
from there, the attacker is generally trying not to fall, or to regain his balance to continue an attack. looks weird, huh? this is a whole nother way of approaching fighting.
it's relaxed, careful, very precise, extremely functional.
it's like a bluesman hearing mozart for the first time, it's weird but good.
@YangMetalClan sure, if you want to become a black belt and learn a traditional art... if you want to start learning about reflexes, breathing, posture, and good movement.. and learn things you can IMMEDIATELY use.... do Systema.. I used to do Bujinkan.
What I appreciate most is Mikhail's underlying playfulness and friendliness towards his "attackers" regardless of what they try. The "attackers" if you look at their faces vary in their levels of tension and fear. I find this fascinating to watch on the spiritual/psychological level.
whats really awsome is that you cant see whats "so special" about him he doesnt seem too fast, too strong, too accurate or having a flawless technique...but once you watch closely he is always in control and could hurt any of these gentleman at any given moment...and that is really awsome
@bangermccrusher I agree. It's his control that would really do the most damage, not his speed or strength. His looks (come on, you know what I mean) are also an advantage. Fighting a chubby man... what chance is there to lose? You can't take him seriously until it's too late.
@bangermccrusher Yeah, that's what I find amazing too! My martial art teacher is not very tall, and a little fat, but when we are sparring, I feel he could kick my ass easily.
@bangermccrusher "faster is not better, stronger is not better, bigger is not better, only better is better." Scott Sonnon
the truth is when you're in flow, it's not about strength or speed or anything, you find yourself moving and fighting in a graceful and masterful way. That's the secret.

Why won't any of these guys just attack him instead of harmlessly catching his forearm of whatever? This such a bullshido.

No intention of harming the instructor + the absolute feeling of inferiority = clear lose to the master.
As a martial artist I really know this fealing. You must change your mind. Try to harm + know you can win, then things changes...
But of course, all of this is just training and demoing a bit of teachings, not true randori!
