Mikhail Ryabko teaching Systema Punching

http://www.dynamoclub.se - During his short vist to Athens in July 2007, Mikhail visited the Systema Athens school, which was still under construction back then. When he found a hack hammer lying around, he took the opportunity to demonstrate an interesting analogy between using a hammer and punching.

@Sovi3tskiy im practicing martial art since i was 16,and this is really interesting

[Silatologist]

Good n nice analogy

[Sovi3tskiy]

I would translate but i dont know how to put subtitles on to this... The main point is view the punch like hitting a nail with a hammer, in terms of your only tence the arm and flick just before the impact with the nail and relax after, ur not stiffening up your whole muscle when the hammer is all the way back just before the blow... right!? So apply the same physics to striking a punch, as its a much more efficient method... Hope this helps, its just brief! :)

@1942STALKER I don't speak Russian, but it would seem that the hammer is only a means to demonstrate the wrist movement when in motion for a punch; and to represent a relaxed fist up till the very last moment you tense,just as you would do if you where to be hitting a nail with a hammer. The hammer hitting the stick indicates the precision of force applied to that area, as opposed to a full of attempt at a haymaker.

@1942STALKER

hmmm... your hand's relaxed all the time till the moment you touch the aim. At that moment you tense it. That's it/ The only thing you ned now is some good time for practice) WBR

lol there's a guy with safety goggles on

[YouKilledTheirDreams]

He has huge fists

[decoyla]

basic translation.. his main pin there is use the momentum of wrist and forearm, fist is relaxed prior to contact and snaps when jsut about to hit the wrist uses a snappy motion as well, and follow through, this allows for all of the momentum from the wrist to be transferred into the opposing body

@1942STALKER i think the video speaks for itself, i learnt something similar when i did muay thai a while ago. you don't actually tense your fist until your just about to hit your opponent, so it becomes like a whip lash. so your basically keeping your fists loose and at the last moment you squeeze your fist. the positions on the body he is hitting or the pressure points he is aiming at is a whole different story lol
