man these people are really idiots,wtf!!! are u teaching them, one guy jumps with the knife and they'll get slaughtered

@parkourhellas no, they are not idiots and one of them dealt with a knife wielding mugger very recently. So sorry but you are mistaken. You get points for liking Bill Hicks though.

you see master how they escape... but i have not seen how they teach to takedown people

[perten]

check out the takedowns clip....

[aaavgeris8888]

try all this stuff you do....with crazy attackers and see the worst case scenario with full attacks...and see how many knifes (put lipstick on it...) you can get to your bodies with this escapes....and then lets talk again about what is real in the real world and what"s not...or what works or what not....

[perten]

Umm...that's what is happening in the clip so not sure what your point is?

Very nice presentation of training progressive neuromuscular response. Those who do not understand Systema training methodology are not understanding correct level of analysis. Anyone can argue the minutiae, but training in a pressured state is lacking is most martial arts training these days. Training from compromised to confidence and control is the emotional progression in real combat. Thanks for posting!

Most brutal and effortless martial art I have ever seen. For example, it takes you just a few movements to take the enemy down. Greetings from Serbia!

[bowow0807]

all those movements seem to be on the defense against long knife movements so is that a problem?

Excellent demo done classes and the drills really help to keep things simple

Rob thanks for sharing and to all the guys in the classes thanks too try it and see the strikes are effective

Not more than likely, you're getting cut no question about it. If the person has a basic knowledge on how to utilize a knife attack, nothing short of body armor or a blade proof shield will save you.

I agree, exercises like this more or less teach you to limit the damage and possibly disarm the assailant.

They do however fail to have an attacker hold the knife the most effective grip for slashing which would render these techniques essentially useless.

As you can see in this video systema guys don't always move slowly

Me personally I do a lot of fast pace knife work.Systema concepts and methodology has been serving me well

As for all the non believers of systema,Who cares they don't deserve to understand this knowledge

As it is said that in a knife fight, more than likely you WILL be cut, it's better to mentally prepare yourself to relax and have a better chance of minimizing damage to yourself and maximizing it to your enemy.
