It reminds one that there is so much more to be learned.
And, in response to our friends that sound a little doubtful, I understand -
There really isn't a lot that can be "seen" in this work, because it's so smooth; you really have to experience it. Come to one of our classes, or even better, to one of Vlad's seminars, and you will see what i mean. ;)
In the meantime, stay well, and, best of luck in your own movement practice, whatever it is!
@UrbanTiger74 From what I understand, Aikido deals a lot with the body as a 'technicality' and mechniques - once I heard a Systema trainer calling himself a 'mechanic' rather than a martial artist, so I would pressume they have the same basic approach. As for philosophy: Systema has strong influences from the orthodox russian church but being essentially a military MA, generally philosophy doesn't seem as much an issue as in many Asian MAs.
@fenriz218 Yes. It does deal a lot if not totally with body mechanics. Balance, leverage, etc etc are all key factors when performing Aikido as it seems it does with Systema. The unique feature I see with Systema is how they move and absorb blows to the body and face. Unique approach no doubt.
@UrbanTiger74 The free-flow movement is inspired by the cossack way of fighting - you might have seen "traditional" russian dances, kozackhock for example, imagine that faster and aiming for a target. In training, we're encouraged to evade anything possible - like walking throuhg a half-closed door without using hands, etc. It's not so much absorbing the blow as 'redirecting' it with whichever body-part and bringing the opponant off-balance.
@UrbanTiger74 I recommend you type in "Go Warrior" and "Russia" or "Systema" in youtube ,,, should find an interesting little documentary from a guy called gekiryudojo, which also features some information about the roots of systema, including the cossack ones I've mentioned.
And yes ... redirection! It was so much easier to watch than to do ... :)
Beautiful work, and such fluid movement!.. :)

@lugenocyber it helps you to absorb more of what's going on in a fight and how it works with bio-mechanics. It helps you a lot during a real fight :D

Some of that stuff reminds me of Aikido. I wonder if they have similar philosophies.
