SYSTEMA IS BEST

[MrNutShot1]

this is just a cool way to make some one get owned!

[arcturian627]

This looks like a beautiful martial art.

[HelgiWartooth777]

I've studied Wing Chun and other martial arts for over 22 years and I must say that I am very impressed!!!!!!! It would be an honor to attend one your seminars!

Best Wishes!

@HelgiWartooth777 Wing Chun and systema that is now being trained has many similarities and a lot of things that they share. The mongolian warriors have been lying between china and russia for many thousands of years. The mongolians even got to ukraine where they where stopped and pushed back. Some mouvements that mongolians used where learned from the chinese and the russians used it into systema.

congratulations, master vladimir, you are the one of the best

[DimebagVision]

This is how great Vlad's fighting mind is. Not only can he rip your arm apart easily, he has his students relaxed and calm while doing these moves; which is why you see some students laughing and having fun. If you're relaxed and calm you can learn to do these moves effectively. Sure beats the 'tough guy' mentality of these MMA cagefighters and their instructors

[petro77vitch]

@DimebagVision i think you can not be soft and tender and enter the cage and than still win? it is hard to stay calm if somebody really gives all he got to beat the shit out of you.. i have some boxing experience myself and when i lowered my hands my opponent gave me a few strikes i could still feel a week after the match

 the great masteur

[MrWillPowerz]

It's hard to tell from just watching the video if this is a legitimate form of self defense.

It looks like a very showy and non functional style of fighting. How does it compare to boxing, wrestling or BJJ. I have not seen any fighters from this discipline compete in an MMA format which is odd if this in fact is the "perfect" martial art system. The instructor would probably get his ass kicked by any descent MMA fighter. Just my opinion...

[koshkudro]

I said the same thing, till i tried it, got my ass handed on a platter, I wrestled for 20 years won many titles, done BJJ for 5 years, Done judo for 10, I have never in my life ever experienced this sort of martial art, This system is no bullshit, Vlad is totally on a different level of expertise, thats why his moves look fake but i assure u, if u ever had a chance to go to Vlads seminars you will be humbled, and amazed what he can do.

[ThePopeye90]

@koshkudro so lets say im a pro mma fighter and i want to improve or an edge on my striking by adding systema into my martial arts, will that help? if so, how? could i keep training muay thai or boxing stance and technique but use the systema punch system? does adding a stance to systema make it less affective or more effective? and is the graound fighting in systema good enough to handle a wrestler and/or jiu jitsu? if so how does it differ? and how does systema breathing help? plz answer

[Saltyember]

@MrWillPowerz it is play. I took classes with vlad in toronto, there i tossed US marines around as if they were children. playing removes the fear that paralyzes ones mind. many systema practitioners have experience in various martial arts backgrounds & just say "MMA" as a style; however, the rules of ufc & other cage matches (ex: no finger locks, groin shots, eye gouges or weapons) means MMA is really more of a contest of sportsmen rather than about self-defense.

your opinion is wrong.

[birkhauer]

this guy is a genius!! brilliant!!

[rrtnps]

incorporation of breathing, relaxing and moving into other fighting arts of system produces amazing results.

[kravmagakapap]

1.18 great!!!!

[fenriz218]

I'd give something to have only 1/3 of Vasilievs flexibility and body mechanics!

Having seen him on screen motivated me to get into Systema. Is it the perfect Martial Art? Don't know. Don't care. It's just the perfect thing for me ... :)

And yeah, very good music - have to go out there and find out some more on Russian music.

[vespaman101]

@fenriz218 i hear u man..i think systema is most potent when used as a supplement almost. learn something like muay thai then apply systema principles to it. i used dvd's and i still find myself doing systema things when i spar when i'm not really thinking about it.

[prest251]

A true master at work...!

[wtrzachal]

There are two masters on this vid. One is Vlad and second also Vlad. First is ofcours Wasiliev and the second one - Wladimir Wysocki - the singer in audio path. :) Both are fantastic :)

[bangermccrusher]

not that he cant take a strike but vlad was showing how strikes with tension doesnt work

[frankyinfowars]

good group fight scene

[rjnimbus]

0.56! :O That guy can take some strikes!

[bangermccrusher]

the best martial artist in the world, no doubt about it

[laoosting]

Beautiful work, as always. Might I ask: what is the name of the song? I can't get it out of my head, and don't want to.

[demosphen888]

the song is sang by Vladimir Visotskij (Vysotskij) Владимир Высотский. Can't remember the exact name for it, but he has a lot of great songs.

[IrakiSniperJuba]

@laoosting

this is the voice of Vladimir Visotskiy ( Владимир Высоцкий )

[IrakiSniperJuba]

@laoosting

This is the voice of Vladimir Vysotsky  He died so many years ago

[kaBulkin]

@laoosting This is song of very famus Soviet singer Vladimir Vysotsky. He died in 1980. The name of this song is "Ну вот, исчезла дрожь в руках", it could have been translated as "Well, the trembling in my hands is gone"

[bumpdchunk]
