RUSSIAN MARTIAL ART "SYSTEMA"

[Golden Arms]

All I will say is:

Go and see Vlad in Canada -take a class and see how hard they hit.

They like fresh meat

Amen, people seem to love to talk a lot about things they dont know about first hand. Vlad's school is in Toronto if I recall. Or look up your local Systema place, wait until they have him out for a seminar, and get hit by him. Then come back and tell us how fake it was

I don't know...

I've taken some pretty heavy shots from people who were pretty bad martial artists before.

I know a construction worker who is a diving lunger. Guy hits like a ton of lead lined bricks... but he's pretty easy to beat in a sparring match if you know how to roll with a shot.

Again, they tend to be very open to having anyone that would like to, join a class and feel it for themselves from my experience. I am not saying Systema trumps all other systems out there, but I am saying, if you want to know, you really have no excuse to not find out first hand yourself, if there is a place local to you, whether they can hit for real, and take shots as well.

Ahem...

[SimonM]

I have not. Next time I'm in Toronto with time to kill to take in a demo class I will though.

(Don't hold your breath, I'm probably headed out west soon.)

Richmond hill if my memory is correct.

[SimonM]

I'll keep that in mind.

I have an ex-girlfriend whose family lives out that way... other than that I have 0 connection to Richmond Hill and would normally never go there.

Vlad is a good man and his students are all nice guys, I few have done Kyokuhsin.

[SimonM]

I'll take your word for it.

Check him out you wont regret it.

Friend of mine from here in oz spent 3 months with him last year, said it was fantastic, if you live in Canada you have no excuse - get on down and check it out. To have a guy like Vlad in your own backyard and not to go see him is a crime

not having the money is a valid excuse. He is pricey.

Personally Rogue, and this may be another topic but I have never bought into these systems that push across a modality of "relaxed striking."

I find a lot of it to be a mound of horse dung from even the most ground floor level of logic.

Why....your very own body will often not let you respond with relaxed striking, and no secret squirrel fake Cossack history "soft-style" or "flow" training will allow you to rewire your hypothalamus gland to not release adrenaline and noradrenaline from the adrenal medulla into the bloodstream.

As you well know, and I am just typing to type here, when you fight or get into a scruff, you will be tense, your heart rate is going to go up, your going to get an increase in respiration, your blood pressure gets wacky, blood is pulled away from surface vessels to be pumped into muscles, which in turn, depending on one's world of mental and physical experience, leads to a general lose of fine motor skills and often the shakes because of the glucose which is released by the liver.

This is just a part of the physical side, the psychological side is just as bad if not worse, if one is not training under a solid enough stressor.

Not being preachy but just talking old chum

I am all for training relaxed and whipping power strikes, such as a gross motor cupped hand blow or slap, but what Systema does is just not that but a whole, relaxed approach that goes beyond.

Lets not even get into the no-touch bulldunk.

I hate the glucose shaky thing do you have an article online I can read what you wrote from a university text level? I'm studying fitness theory and want a few pages on what you wrote!.
