    Those are not shoes and this is Systema not an oriental martial art where you practice barefoot, despite the environment obviously being an dojo.

  • They use kanji in russia :O

  • In soviet Russia, rolls backup on you

  • @TehReeper740 That's not correct. There are many variations of back falls and rolls in RMA. Some do grab the head, but not all. Military work often assumes the hands will be occupied on a rifle for example and therefore the head grab is not always present. Even the head grab itself is commonly taught as something too static in many apporaches and should rather shield the head and then unscrew and elongate to help the practitioner up.

  • Very interesting and educational. Lots of reasoning in the application of the technique.

  • take off your shoes

  • For my simple experience I come from few yars of Taekwondo and I started 1 year and an Half ago Hapkido, but I've been ipnotized by the way the systema practitioners do the falls, expecialy over an hard floor. It's very useful, even if you put these skills in another martial art.

  • @jackarf1 how about if you oppoennt made you trippthen you might want to roll...

  • Rollings good for softening your body i.e. removing tension too. If your tense it hurts and things get bruised. Compound bruises on hard surfaces soon make you relax. I've been told to practice rolling on uneven surfaces and over bits of wood and stones.

  • true, i started training in krav in my hometown here now aswell, not because i don't like systema but because the people practicing it here don't really make the training as tough as it should be nor are they as good as the instructors i've worked with in the past; however krav is still lacking in the ''taking strikes'' department...
