Excellent video. This is hard information to come by and it truly confirmed something I've been thinking for a while now. Which is how incredibly similar Systema (Russian martial art) is to Tai Chi. I've only recently started learning about Tai Chi in the context of martial art but have been training Systema for about 14 years and the more I learn, the clearer it gets
