  • Systema looks like a combination of elements of Aikido, Krav Maga and Russian passion for alcohol.

  • @Donkyfishy Hi. Oh most definitively yes. Martin used the "softwork" with us but I was in no doubt he could have snapped my arm at any time he wished. When we went onto knife work everything sped up and his control and skill was as constant at the higher (but in no way his highest I am sure) speed. This is a superb martial art. The conditioning work alone is worth its weight in gold for anyone martial artist or otherwise. Martin is excellent exponent of his art.

  • @StopMoColorado looks so strange.... does it Actually work?

  • ES INCREIBLE ESTE SUJETO ES SORPRENDENTE. QUIERO APRENDER TODAD TUS TECNICAS.

  • @Donkyfishy yeah it will hold up at high speeds... because everything is reletive; if you work slow, then the strength and force that you use must also be soft and effortless, and the goal isn't strength, so if your opponent resists your move, you have to find a different/resistless way of taking them down

  • @akompsupport There are different kinds of training weapons used for diff scenarios. Vlad often trains with live bayonets and has mentioned using completely live blades in certain training situations for those who come against such things everyday (hostage rescue, personal protection, bouncer, Special Operative, etc.). I became comfortable using live blades in Silat before I came to Systema, but usually you use a metal-bladed (dull-ish) practice knife. Bayonets are great, they're plenty dull :)
