Systema Israel ground management

[BlackBeltLeroyJones]

What dont make sense to me is spining around and turning your back on your opponent given them a chance to put a choke on you.

The idea is to roll him around your movement which is the axis. In this case as in all cases there are many solutions. You choose what is right for your at the moment.

To tell you the truth it seems as if it does'nt work very well.

From 1:00 to 1:25 the big guy had dominated you with his movement - you ended that little altercation with a knee - but it was a break from the context of the drill.

As a student he will ofcourse listen to you - not get new variables into training when it's "comfortable".

I wonder how effective your ground movement would have been had HE been allowed to hit as well.

I just think this is counter-productive in self defense terms.

Did you listen to what I am saying throughout the drill ? It is an explanation of what happens when you are tense and one planner or relaxed and free. There are many examples and it is a learning drill where you also place yourself in bad spots in order to learn from those as well. Please also listen.

[RonnySayfan]

I listened.

Inorder to be effective one MUST be hard, as well as soft.

Most people are too hard in stressfull situations, agreed.

But in the name of "softness" and being "relaxed" you made a number tactical mistakes that would have ended a fight.

Being soft is nice, but ingraining bad fighting habits (like repeatedly turning your back to an oppnent) will get you beat up or worse.

Another example - 2:30. in the name of softness you put yourself in a perfect arm-bar setup.

I like the link you included. The drill come to help one learn and it is not a fight. When people play they demonstrate and find new things and do things for others as well I am sure that when you teach you place yourself in uncomfortable positions in order to show and find new ways out.

Enjoy the weekend. Sharon

Yeah, shabat shalom :)

The problem is bad habits.

You fight like you train.

There are myriad of ways to work on softness, relaxation, circularity, neutralizaions etc', and still keep correct strategic relative position, structure and posture.

[StrengthFromAbove83]

if you stay relaxed, keep moving, and breathing, he won't have the chance to do so.
