May 2013 I was in Siberia and trained Russian Systema.
This is a report that I wrote for the club
Background information on it's origin and lineage provided a history of the contemporary
practices and masters
Training on a wooden floor brought to mind .the importance of control in rolling
rather than leaping into a roll and banging onto the floor . Bruising
indicated where the floor was hit too hard
This is a report that I wrote for the club
I have been very fortunate to train with Dimtri's Skogorev’s
club
Training Systema in it's country of origin was of
great value to my understanding of this combat system.
Tthe concept of the wave to generate energy and
power has advanced further an understanding, particularly of;
1/ throwing
strikes with the wave produced from the hips through the body core to the limbs
(arms and legs) in fast and effective strike response.
2/ keeping limbs relaxed so they could be whipped
out by the wave
3/allowing energy to be absorbed by the body and
transferring it to attack
focus of training in Novosibirsk
∞musclular development and core strength was
central to the fitness component of training
∞rolling and moving along the ground
∞responding to knife attacks and disarmament of
opponent
∞defending attacks by a series of offensive
movements
Awareness of improving certain skills
Training on a wooden floor brought to mind .the importance of control in rolling
rather than leaping into a roll and banging onto the floor . Bruising
indicated where the floor was hit too hard
Continuous movement of lower arm from the elbow can
generate strikes from many directions.
Covering of the opponents fist with your hand gives an advantage to return a strike.
The students at Novosibirsk were
Inclusive and allowed training to your capacity. I received many gifts which
made me feel appreciated and welcomed.
Accept my gratitude for allowing my participation.
