Systema Russian Martial Art

[@michman5614]

Don't judge a person because of his size..I'm not going to bother explaining it to you on here. It's impossible. you have to feel it and try it and see how much power there is in the smallest move from the right person in order to appreciate this. You will just have to find out for yourself what works and what doesn't work.

[@DeathlyHalcyon]

Wonderful Systema flow. :) I train a few students in Systema as well. I love the control using energy...Very well done. I love how you also move quite like Master Vladimir. Very beautiful. :)

[@michman5614]

I have studied with Vladimir Vasiliev and trained with Mikhail Ryabko for 13 years. I was one of the first in North America to be a certified teacher under Vladimir. There were two others besides me at the time...My name is George Pogacich

[@JuanBeltranVillamizar]

Amazing mate! You're doing it just fine! I'm glad to se how far Systema has extended. Greetings from Colombia, I'm a fellow practitioner.

[@michman5614]

Yes I agree with you about Bruce Lee.. I teach in Michigan right now but I do travel and will keep you posted. Thanks George

[@TheNickhis]

@roryforever89 THIS IS SYSTEMA, a martial art that teaches you to be able to adapt to any situation. Vladimir Vasiliev himself said this: "To any situation the reaction may be different. That’s why it’s useless, in a way, to memorize patterns, because the possibilities in life are endless, and you cannot be prepared for every single thing. Therefore it’s better to be able to move in a natural way, and not even physically but intuitively." Some people will be small, some will be big.

[@michman5614]

It all depends on your awareness and if you can track the movement from the beginning before it starts. Timing and perception are everything. Nothing lives without it.

[@caliridahx]

Absolutely amazing!

[@ariocher]

Truly a pleasure to watch. The ability to adapt to any situation or scenario is what made Bluce Lee such a devistating and effective martial artist. Sir, if you ever find yourself on the west coast, I would be honored to meet a student of Vladimir.

[@SystemshikUK]

Beautiful work

[@michman5614]

Thanks. He is my teacher.. You know what they say.. "Imitation in the sincerest form of flattery":)

[@eapollo]

Beautiful and effective moves. If I wanted to learn more about Systema do you put on any seminars. I am located in Ann Arbor Michgan and I am a brown belt in Isshinryu Karate. Are there seminars put on by the Systema group based in Toronto.

[@NYWAORCANZ]

holy shit this guy is high level,I would not be surprise if he actually studied with Valdimir Vasilliev

[@jdrseven]

He did.

[@michman5614]

I teach regularly in down town Royal Oak three times a week and i am available for private lessons as well.

[@michman5614]

Yes I was using only my right arm in these demos because I injured my left and couldn't use it at the time.

[@NYWAORCANZ]

@8jaytee I really don't care what you think but if your keen to find out just drop in a systema class and give the instructor all you can offer him in resisting But I have to warn you the difference between systema and all the other style you have experince with is the systema player has no desire to finish any one technique. also, the mind of the systema player seems completely void of desire as well systema strikes will also come at you from angle you never imagined

[@yyekcim]

How did you got there training with them? You went to Russia? Did you lived and worked there or you specifically was there for training in Systema?

[@геттоБлинова]

Куда смотрит Голливуд? Георгий Погачич несомненно мог бы стать супер-звездой кино на целое десятилетие! А может и больше ...

[@michman5614]

Yes thanks:) It's all years of hard work and intensive study.

[@jeroenno19920404]

How long are you experienced with systema? Did you train with Konstantin K., Vladimir V., Mikhail R....? And what is your real name please? Are you also an actor? Excuse me for the curiosity, but I'm very interested in Systema, and what i see in this vid is pretty nice compared with what ive seen before i guess :p

[@jasontodd6779]

How did you saw and react so fast? Is there any tip?

[@CirvanteXLethe]

Just out of curiosity, how tall are you?

[@8jaytee]

@NYWAORCANZ until i see someone using it against another person fully resisting, i dont believe it.

[@jdrseven]

That's the thing, it doesn't matter if you resist. He does things to you to make your body react a certain way, and by the time you react, he's done something else that you react to, and he builds up those reactions until you make yourself fall over. It's the weirdest and moat frustrating thing to defend against, and every time he touches you, even if it looks light, it hurts and is full of power. You really have to DO it to believe it. Even if you see it in person, it looks fake. I've met other guys that are "certified instructors " in Systema and are complete crap. Fake. George is astounding. It's worth a trip to Detroit to check him out. If I still lived there, I'd still be training.

[@alpha2omega09]

@jrothstein1 everything is done at that pace to show the steps. Try to pull a real knife on this guy or any of the other systema trainers and see what happens. They teach you first rule about knife fighting is you will get cut 100% of the time. If you have never practiced systema or been in a fight with someone who trains systema then you wouldn't know. Most martial arts are practiced slow so your brain learns the movement and it becomes instinctual.

[@ghostcontactparanormal]

george is da man!

[@ben3bdallh32]

I am a novice systema and not find a single rehearse with me or even knew systema , what do you think the best way to exercice

[@marcusraidien1543]

Have a friend hold a pole for a post hold digger behind your back then inch up with using only your hands from a sitting position. this will help to build up your forearm muscles. I asked George, so he told me. I know George from when I was in Michigan, I wonder how he is doing now.

[@michman5614]

I'm 6 foot 2 and 210 lbs

[@michman5614]

I guess you didn't bother to read the thread where I state my credentials.

[@michman5614]

In the future i will do some real life situation clips first real speed and then break down with voice over explanation.

[@8jaytee]

@jrothstein1 i agree. if you want to learn self defense, go to a real gym and do mma or something.

[@jdrseven]

No, that's where you go to learn how to wrestle one on one with no weapons. I've trained with George. He is 100% legit and hits harder than I've ever been hit by anything, including 350lb guys tackling me at full speed in Rugby.

[@kanedgy4562]

@@jdrsevenit sounds so crazy but I believe it. Anime type shit. This is what I wanna learn fr

[@kanedgy4562]

BROO the first minute of the video is some anime shit😂what the hell

[@JTJV2]

Systema is great for untrained foes, but against somebody like myself who consistently spars striking full contact as well as wrestles and does no-grappling trumps anybody that only has experience practicing systema. Systema is good but don't be fooled into thinking it can be a substitute for getting in the gym everyday and sparring full contact.

[@jdrseven]

Actually, I was out with George one night and we met a pro MMA fighter and trainer, who has trained guys you've definitely heard of. The guy (also a friend of mine) is VERY skilled in Catch Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, muy thai and a bunch of other things, had his own gym in LA, benches 550lbs, etcetera. George just told him, "Block my strikes," and proceded to hit him from every angle so quickly and so overwhelmingly, that all the guy could say was, "What the F***?!" Didn't block one.

[@8jaytee]

no offence but i highly doubt this would do anything in a real situation

[@jrothstein1]

If anyone tried these lame passive techniques in a real knife fight, they would DIE. Seriously, use at your own risk of death.
