I know it is limited to slashing attacks... but there is no intent on behalf of the attacker. They are flicking with knife....they are not really trying to slash the shit out of you. I've seen cctv footage of real knife attacks and the intent of the attackers is really frightening...
systema excels in truely committed attacks as the systema players practice breath control and controlling their fears and they practice small movments,also a systema player do a lot of work in understanding angles of attack
It is very hard to fake out a systema player for reasons I can explain another time
it is actully that flicky flicky stuff that can really get you cut up if you play into it.
We regularly mix up attacks, work at different speeds, with and without kit. The whole point of this session was to explore simple slashing movements. It is not a demonstration or test of the complete skill set.

trust me the clumsy gear comes in handy as the knife is metal/foam covered and does hurt.
also with the gloves and head guard on, the pace can be upped, so strikes can be committed without damaging your training partner.
