Short Work with Upper Body by Mikhail Ryabko

[@davidelbaze2784]

Very good and thé explanation was necessary

[@systemajogja]

A not so simple drill but look simple...but when you understand it, it leads to another functional uses. Great!

[@truthserum9456]

One of the greatest martial masters on earth.

[@swbarb1]

the explanation of what the 'other' guy is doing is very important for people watching ... because if you do not understand this then it looks fake .... it looks like the 'other' guy is exaggerating... without actually doing systema with a real practitioner this is hard to perceive.. anyone who has done real systema learn this in the first lesson ... awesome stuff thank you

[@Luci823]

[@loneninja]

Perfect connection by professor Ryabko make the technique invisible .

[@swbarb1]

most systema seems aimed at defence ... how is it different when used to attack

[@jerrychan7191]

Will that work in the streets?

[@ashutoshkaushal8657]

Worked for the KGB 🤔

[@roberthaskell2983]

No

[@alexandrbeliy8971]

It is just exercise, in real life work will be the same but shorter, and it will work only if feel what happen around you and your feel your opponent.

[@Rabenmensch]

Cmon man how is that even a question

[@nospam3327]

This is an exercise to train a principle, so it would not work the same way on someone who isn't training. So the principle works, yes, but the street application would look different.

[@gerardoipr1]

I would pay serious money to see them to spar with someone from MMA .... I'm talking of serious money....

[@alexhenry1093]

How much money are you talking? If the price is right you may have a match

[@nospam3327]

Fwiw, "sparring" isn't really the point of martial arts. To be clear, this is training for knife fighting, so I doubt any MMA fighters would want any part of that

[@Steaks652]

Ummmm,

[@edwardkaeser2533]

Funny if you called it aikido it would be mocked. Just jiu-jitsu.

[@nospam3327]

Fwiw, Systema and Aikido have a lot of similarities, in that they both train to redirect instead of resisting. The difference is maybe Systema comes out of a knife fighting tradition, so it also has applications (if you use it with a knife) that Aikido maybe lacks. But both also have health benefits also.

[@ungobungo7986]

@@nospam3327 both exist on the principle of the battlefield, generally if you fall down on the battlefield its over hence the rolling ground work etc
