[@BuddhaRon108]

One of my favorite Systema clips. Ryabko has such incredible level of mastery of the art. I hope I get the chance to train with him. I already had one seminar with Vladimir Vasiliev which blew my mind. Systema changed my life completely.

[@TPSTraining]

How do you know that ronny? (with respects)

[@DickWigglin]

@@TPSTraining I'm not sure what you'd like them to say, as they've already said they've trained with, Vladimir Vasiliev, but would like to train with Mikhail. Vladimir and Mikhail both teach the same branch of systems, and he would like to experience training with both.

[@CSPSmedia]

Something that always stands out to me in these demos is the lack of ego with the Systema greats like Mikhail and Vlad - it's not an 'I'm better than you, so let's do some choreographed moves, and you'll make me look good, Uke' type thing, but just a learning process - playing with motion literally. You always see smiles and laughter, and shaking hands. I have a lot of respect for Systema.

[@taiji218]

What I appreciate most is Mikhail's underlying playfulness and friendliness towards his "attackers" regardless of what they try. The "attackers" if you look at their faces vary in their levels of tension and fear. I find this fascinating to watch on the spiritual/psychological level.

[@ShawnaGraham50]

his ability to read and counter so quickly is awesome

[@WTHFX]

This is evidence of A LOT of training. You can see how automatic an fluid all of his movements are. It's more like walking and breathing for him, than fighting.

[@ScruovGoogul]

+WTHFX That's one of the reasons why you have all the 'Internet expert' critics commenting. He's so far beyond their level they don't know what it is and prop up their fragile egos by trashing it.

[@yperionas-lb1hi]

i have seen other videos of this guy and it is evident that his fighting ability is at a top level.also you can see that he is not counting in his evident strenght or weight but he is taking them technically

[@xingyimaster1987]

this video casts away any doubts about systema i had. at first i thought it was all about suggestion and cooperative partners flying around like aikido, but here you can see these guys are trying to spar with ryabko non cooperatively and he effortlessly controls them.

[@francescol.bellman9670]

I watched this a couple years ago and I found it astounding. I watch it know, and it doesn't impress me anymore.

[@DickWigglin]

What about now?

[@stillbashingmetal]

Really interesting. It looks just like a ballet. All the moves are smooth and flowing. Fantastic form of self defence.

[@MichaelVanderpool777]

Absolutely amazing, and the result of dedication, work, exercises, practice. Awesome.

[@FuhrerVonKickass]

Look at those forearms and hands man. There is power there

[@marcelnowakowski3099]

Very impressive! Thank you!

[@StopMoColorado]

Thank you, Vlad, for sharing this treasure with us :)

[@bangermccrusher]

whats really awsome is that you cant see whats "so special" about him he doesnt seem too fast, too strong, too accurate or having a flawless technique...but once you watch closely he is always in control and could hurt any of these gentleman at any given moment...and that is really awsome

[@ookami3380]

this dude had his first combat mission at the age of 15. i wouldnt wanna mess with him no matter what you guys say...

[@micky9439]

Top class stuff!!

[@rio197]

Thanks for this

[@mkcandyrocky]

I wish to train myself to do that in any situation !!! 😲 Thank you for Precious Video Lessons

[@yaharaway]

Браво, Михаил Васильевич!)

[@bahtalorom]

...a great man!

[@Guillermo.J.]

Gracias

[@Sajiix]

honestly i know its slow motion and i think the people are told to act it out, but for some reason i see a hint of hypnotisation on his targets.

[@highsensibel]

The master of relax

[@gitarafan]

Master!

[@SystemaBase]

great

[@watchALLthethings]

Mastery of nonchalant control.

[@nikneg2735]

I wonder myself how stupid can someone be to give dislike to this master???

[@CSPSmedia]

@321keks It's their method of training the movement, which I do in my training and teaching too - to safely train the movements of combat, you can either do it with padding and gloves, etc which results in unrealistic technique (even if only a little) and too many leniences for want of a better word (for example, with a glove on you can happily punch someone in the skull) or you can train the exact same motions you'd use in reality slowly, and build on speed as you get more competent with it.

[@quickxfactor]

Yes these are practices and you see some smooth flows. In reality, I am totally sure that this instructor is a great fighter in some quick street fights. If his opponent attack forcefully so thing will happen much more easier and quicker. Just one hit at the right time, right place. This instructor has a very good timing and his body,mind are very flexible.

[@mikel4510]

This guy is so cool - whips up on a room full.

[@Zorak1988]

Now just imagine Mikhail isn't moving in slow motion and is holding a knife

[@jogobonito1234]

I agree, it's the same in the Wing Chun classes I attended for years, except for some notable exceptions... I must say that sometimes I found instructors who told me to attack them for real. Normally that would happen in the first classes as they needed to sell the course...

[@kleidergonzales9687]

buen video

[@metalgearsolidsnake6978]

nice trainer, a good Russian coach.

[@cuongtranmanh6818]

good

[@DUTYMASTER7]

Hey vladimir vasiliev I do systema since a month ago In the Netherlands and what do you think of jan bloem he teached my systema instructor

[@alexandersokolov2945]

Владимир, а есть похожее видео? Может быть липкие руки?

[@MTOSAB]

Em caso de dúvida, participe de um seminário para conhecer.

[@rokmanchoi]

good movements 체술...

[@pjackson65]

Real Ryabko :)

[@cristianreneveganunez206]

cuando vienen a chile..

[@Shanshou4]

This is purely a question, someone please tell me if systema is just similar to aikkio?

[@theocp]

@ennot ofcourse it will be hard to trace systema back, the soviet union didnt have 1 set hand to hand combat that was taught to all special forces, but rather quite a few skilled instructors that taught their style in their respective schools (its also hard to find out info about the kgb, doesnt mean they wernt real). If you cant see use in it, then u havent experienced it or been taught it correctly, because when ur there and you do the exercises you will see for yourself how effective it is

[@201stcorp]

He has a short fireplug body, and a good knowledge of body mechanics.

[@NewLauri]

огонь

[@antoniolampreia5953]

🙏🙏

[@moogmanXanders]

its still almost trippy how loose and fluid the movements are but how precise the outcome is in unbalancing the opponent/sparring partners.

[@MegaBloodthirsty]

@Tunerguy695 where do i join lol

[@MarcV8888]

Yes, how nice to finally see we have more in common than differences. It is a shame our 2 hapless governments have prevented many good friendships from forming. I believe in the years to come Russia and the USA will be in one final war, and they will be great allies. As for the instructor performing, my teacher went to Russia to study with him and said he never felt anyone in any art hit so hard. These guys cannot go all out with no special gear on. You cant imagine the training they go thru

[@AaBbSsTtRrAaCcTt]

@bangermccrusher I agree. It's his control that would really do the most damage, not his speed or strength. His looks (come on, you know what I mean) are also an advantage. Fighting a chubby man... what chance is there to lose? You can't take him seriously until it's too late. I love him.

[@321keks]

hard to believe

[@AverageSilenceEnjoyer]

Finally someone who can challenge Chuck Norris.

[@metalrobot3000]

oh my god i cant wait till their is a school in indiana

[@CSPSmedia]

@BoarsofWar I see the logic in what you're saying, so I understand. However, when people make links between combat training and other sports, intrinsic differences are often ignored. When running, the worst you can do if you run too fast unprepared is pulling a muscle or getting a bit stiff afterwards, however in this kind of training if you just went all out straight away (Systema practitioners do when they're ready of course) you'd be getting through training partners like sweets!

[@ivanefimov4012]

ОХ МИШКА МИШКА)))) ФОКУСНИК ПРОСТО

[@ClassicalSerrana]

Besides, i practice a while Kickboxing and also Kung fu for 10 years, i can tell you that systema is very diferent from all others martial arts. or martial sports. The first time i get hit by my master of Systema, i learn to flew a copule of feets (and he did hit me with a little power)

[@Pedozzi]

@bangermccrusher well, i think he has a very strong mass, and it's very heldfull so as we can see, he is always a fixed point on the floor so he can contrast everyone against.

[@blucherm.r9230]

Greeting! Your technique is good but I think You should show it in a normal or real combat velocity situation!

[@smallfellow]

@christopher0223 slow is smooth, smooth is fast ;)

[@chucksneedmoreland]

0:36 whats up with the guy in the white t-shirt that says Reebok

[@christopher0223]

@bangermccrusher "faster is not better, stronger is not better, bigger is not better, only better is better." Scott Sonnon the truth is when you're in flow, it's not about strength or speed or anything, you find yourself moving and fighting in a graceful and masterful way. That's the secret.

[@StrengthFromAbove83]

@YangMetalClan sure, if you want to become a black belt and learn a traditional art... if you want to start learning about reflexes, breathing, posture, and good movement.. and learn things you can IMMEDIATELY use.... do Systema.. I used to do Bujinkan.

[@woledage]

What was his formal training in??

[@mok0s1]

One of Stalins bodyguards was his master.

[@IamHueGraves]

systema

[@explorehunter]

I like this. No matter how good these martial arts are I wish if Chechens too make a video like this. So that we can learn what their secret is in achieving victories from nothing.

[@DDDawn]

Impressive. He hardly uses any energy, movements etc, and still he remains in complete control

[@paraglide01]

Wauw Mikhail is more slippery then an eel.

[@stillnessinmovement]

@jmikejapan the attackers are trying to hit, kick, or control mike. as soon as they start doing it, mike disrupts the motion and "helps" them off balance. from there, the attacker is generally trying not to fall, or to regain his balance to continue an attack. looks weird, huh? this is a whole nother way of approaching fighting. it's relaxed, careful, very precise, extremely functional. it's like a bluesman hearing mozart for the first time, it's weird but good.

[@CSPSmedia]

@Siddthartha It would be called that if he was practicing Taiji, but he's not - this is Systema. You're right to make the link though - there are a lot of interesting similarities between Russian and Chinese methods, possibly due to past diplomacy and cultural mixings which I confess I am ignorant of.

[@SystemaVasiliev]

Что-то похожее где то есть, если увижу то поставлю.

[@williamjpiano]

First systema practioners understand that training is a two-sided affair, both parties seek to gain in training. We give our partner what he/she needs, regardless if or partner is the instructor or a fellow trainee. Often this means hitting as hard as your partner wants. After all part of training is conditioning our opponent to take strikes. Also in systema I think its quite clearly stated there are no rules, we attack, and whoever wins, both parties benefit.

[@NYWAORCANZ]

@samurai184 actually me too personally, I would think he would own Kimbo But Fedor.I am not so sure about.Maybe,He did beat Valdimir and he is amazing but I would be rooting for him non the less

[@punisher5474]

his flow resembles bujinkan movements...nice to see taijutsu in cqc!!!!

[@Angelo8721]

привет такая, меня зовут Ангел, я адвокат, и я живу в Гвадалахаре, Мексика, хотите узнать больше об этом боевом искусстве, вы можете сказать мне, где я могу купить DVD в интернет и отправить меня в Гвадалахаре Мексики, я был бы весьма признателен, ваше видео велики. спасибо, привет из Мексики

[@eightballbank]

If you want to learn how to read body language witch IS THE KEY to being first to walk away! systema will teach you that like no other fighting / self defense style in the world. if you slow down just a second and pay attention it could save your life. often times people get snuck ( sucker punched ) witch catches them in a loop your thrown way off guard. reading body que's will teach you second nature to telegraph and know how to react before that big punch gets there. stay safe my friends.

[@HEadshot00001234]

@bangermccrusher Vary TRUE

[@65akk]

He is wearing camo bottoms...obviously this stuff works

[@om11111a]

なるほど。武道と詠春拳を合わせたようなゆっくりした動き。

[@alieu156]

It's Chin from Double Dragon! lol

[@user-qx5dv1ls4h]

да кто так,воообще,атаковать будет??

[@BoarsofWar]

@christopher0223 ive never seen an olmipic sprinter win gold by training slow such as jogging. I think you have to practice 100 percent to become an effictive and gracefull fighter. Please correct me if i am wrong and let me know your opinion.

[@Buhllake]

@Tunerguy695 if its really that good I would like to spar someone who knows it well. I think it is based on the instructor and the way u learn it not just the art

[@ramb0nat0r]

1:10 Russia and USA what a great Picture :)

[@elendiel]

@bangermccrusher Yeah, that's what I find amazing too! My martial art teacher is not very tall, and a little fat, but when we are sparring, I feel he could kick my ass easily.

[@juanmoreno-cu7ie]

yeah im starting to doubt....

[@mmavov]

Где скорость? Что за валяние на ковре?????

[@woledage]

Looks similar to aikido and free style taiji

[@nikneg2735]

Locky those hoom can have the privilege to train with this master!! I wish I would!!!

[@wsrpotg]

This guy moves like Hatsumi in the sense that he takes very little steps after the technique.

[@madrobjc05]

i wanna see ryabko vs vasiliev...that would be don

[@killerkravist]

@baic989 Man, thank you! Everyone here seems to be drinking the cool-aid... I'm not buying it either!

[@staninjapan07]

This guy's impressive isn't he. No offense but at a glance he is an overweight man in his later 30's here I guess. None-the-less, he moves seemingly without effort. Obviously no-one is actually trying to attack him in this particular video, but having watched a couple of videos of him just now, one of which was called Sytema Vs Street Fighter, it looks like he is still teaching this 10 or 15 years later and seems to be a widely known teacher. This reminds me of Aikido - When I was a teenager (long ago), I did aikido for a short while and the teacher moved effortlessly, like this guy. It's quite a pleasure and entertaining to watch him teach. He seems to enjoy it.

[@TonyMon16]

you need to learn about muscle maturity dude, hes very , very strong and powerful and his age is actually an asset, look at his hand size and forearms that is they key. i have seens guys like this before usually in the construction industry, and they are impossible to beat up as skinny dude. . It ain't skill its the effect of overpowering bulk and raw natural strength. He uses his body weight to hurt people, so there really isnt much skill involved but he as man will hurt you , but this sytem is nothing special at all, is repackaged basic stuff from boxing and wing chun using some aikido ideology. He also understand how to demonstrate all that to impress people.He wouldn't stand a chance in mma, or against a real athlete but against the average guy on the street he wil destroy you, which as hard as it for me to admit includes me :S He just too strong and is the real reason he can dominate these people(plus the brainwashing effect of aikido master) not the skill. Aikido has been proven to be complete and utter bull shit, it wont be that which he uses to win a fight trust me.Aikido only works when the fight is at 50% speed.

[@ScruovGoogul]

+TonyMon16 The usual 'MMA/UFC is all' rubbish.

[@drakemoreland9787]

mma is the real deal, they prove themselves at 100% speed and strength . all this systema /aikido whatever is nonsense, its all theoretical and not proven. use this horseshit in the octagon and you be knocked out almost instantly

[@fromlambstoalex]

i had no clue frank caliendo knew martial arts

[@akwilon11]

Конечно успеет если это конфликт а если просто с редь бела дня подошел и врезал тогда 50*50

[@StopMoColorado]

@punisher5474 Yes, much like taijutsu - Google "Trevor Robinson" who's on here as geikiruydojo (former Ninjutsu instructor). No messing with occult spiritism, though, a profound advantage (I had my share of that stuff in Silat, it's nothing to mess with).

[@HomoMusculus]

man, its hard to defend yourself when you are attacking

[@Gavindwyer]

I like this style of fighting but there needs to be a video of a real fight. The attackers are just going with the flow and dropping like drunks. Hard to see if this works effectively in a real fight when its all slowed down. However I still believe brains is mightier than muscle in a fight....

[@taiju2501]

すげぇ 合気道と太極拳混ぜたみたいにコントロールしていなしてる。

[@MichaelKongmengLee1]

I want to see this in full speed and see what reallt happens. The guys attacking the teacher were going super slow while the teacher was moving 3 times the attackers speed...

[@ceckolalovia]

What will happen is not gonna be pretty for the attacker. This person has so good body mechanics and understandings of the way the body moves that is scary.

[@rockstoper]

but need a little bit pure power later systema. i think systema very dangerous if we can use in technologi ;)

[@GreggRoberts]

I'd feel bad for these guys if they ever got into a real martial arts fight. They'd get the crap beat out of them.
