http://www.dynamoclub.se - In Russian Martial Art joint manipulations are used as a means to break an opponent's structure, in order to either take the initiative or achieve an effortless takedown or move him into a strike. Unlike the joint "locks" used in conventional martial arts training, that have the practitioner fixate in applying a specific technique using narrow focus, the Systema joint manipulations are incidental, can only be applied through a broad focus (so one can see what the opponent makes "available") and can be easily used in combination with strikes, making the integration of the striking and the grappling game easy and natural.
In this specific application, a specific movement pattern of the shoulder is used in a number of tactical applications.

  • What happens when he hits you with his free hand?

  • Manipulating the joints is about making the opponent move away from the pain and breaking his posture. You can't really hit with any sort of substantial power when your structure is broken. Try this with a training partner to see IF he's able to hit you with the free hand.

  • Very nice friend, I'm going to be doung some Biomechanics on ye channel soon you may be interested in, I will practise this Thanks 5/5

  • Hi Системе inSweden!

  • @TruthFromTheFOX , This are principles that are learned you train your body to adapt and move in a way that unbalances your opponet. Beside that try to thruogh a good punch from an unbalanced position. If you unbalance an opponet you take away their timming, strength, and of course balance.

  • great stuff. I like yr channel spyrokat. I study Systema in Melbourne. The more I study it, the more I realise how hard it is to explain with words. It seems more like learning to play a solo on an instrument, which can't be done in words. you need to teach your body to play the instrument (ie the human body!) and yr mind to feel it, which mainly comes from practice. Sometimes its frustrating trying to learn from an instructor who is a great "player" how to play yrself! So-practice, practice :)

  • the thing at the 3 minute mzrk seemed odd to me. am i wrong?

  • Great and thanks!

    Know some body structure

  • Great...thanks for sharing this Spyro

  • Very nice. Sound could be a bit louder though.. its a bit hard to hear what you are saying.

  • This is so cool and your explanation is very good... please keep the videos coming. Thanks.
