Like I said, it's all just banging your head against a wall. The anti-systema cult vs the systema-cult lol
Sorry, but what a load of bolly-ollocks.
As far as working without mats goes, nothing "fake tough guy about it" (er bit difficult to fake being thrown?) simply gets people used to working in an...
Well you can get information from a 22 second clip Or from the 90 minute film. Or from talking to Mikhail himself. Which do you think would be more accurate?
Wrong all round. The BTP work is clearly explained as psychologcial on the DVD, and on-one tries to indoctrinate anyone. Perhaps you shouldn't listen to rumours.
As some of you may know I spent soem years in TCC before coming to Systema.
Initially, I thought they were very similar. As my experience deepened, I think less so. Of course there are some...
How does a tai chi man on the ground generate his power? Does it cease to become tai chi if he is not using "energy starting in the feet directed by the waist" etc?
My feeling is there is no...
"Martial arts schools are not public convenience stores"
Then he shouldn't advertise like one. If he wants to be "profound and mysterious" he maybe shouldn't have a big website and do kids'...

We train everythhing full contact but start slow, or sometimes come back to slow to focus on a particular area. This way people get used to hitting and being hit in a progressive way and it hopefully...

What psychic stuff is that?
Fa jing in the Cheng Fu lineage, at least as taught by his son Yang Sau Cheung is not in the large frame form. This is because the large frame is designed as a beginner form to stretch and...
SAS don't receive any formal H2H. Individual members may train in various things but there is no "official" style
He was the 3rd disicple to Yang Sau Cheung, eldest son of Yang Cheng Fu. Most of the UK Yang style oldsters will have trained with him at some point. Erle trained with him for 3 or 4 years in the...
D-d-d-d-discount!!! Wash your mouth out! :D
If there's anything you want to know about his methods, PM me I may be able to help.
$$$$$$$$
I think he still lives in the UK but his teaching is mostly in Germany and France. AFAIK he has no school as such here now.
He was teaching privately though - if you don't mind spending a couple...
I bought a shot putt for this type of training - should be able to get them from a good sports outlet.
It would seem to indicate primarliy empty force work. I believe it is described as using the "yi" to control anothers "chi".
The John Ding school stresses a lot of empty force work (hence Richard's "energetics").
AFAIK JD has no experience of Chen style. Prior to tai chi he studied Shaolin and Praying Mantis kung fu.
It seems that it can when the evidence points the "right" way :D
Taiji masters or similar who die at an early age are conveniently ignored, people that qigong fails to cure are conveniently...

Ebonics? Rhyming slang is ****ney.
I went down the road (frog and toad) to cash (sausage and mash) a cheque (goose's neck).
Ebonics? You're 'aving a bubble aincha? :)
Today I went down the frog to sausage a goose.
