Movies of Systema Amsterdam

Een paar kleine filmpjes die we de afgelopen tijd hebben gemaakt tijdens trainingen en seminars ... Kleine opmerking vooraf, niets is gechoreografeerd zoals in de meeste vechtsporten- en kunsten. Systema gebruikt geen technieken, maar werkt met principes waarbij de nadruk ligt op ademhaling, continuïteit, economisch- en onvoorspelbare bewegingen.

Dynamic joint breaks 

A small after-movie of the seminar last weekend. Understanding fundamentals of locks, holds & dynamic joint breaks/ manipulation.

It is important in Systema to be able to strike from any position and movement. This can only be done when the body and mind is relaxed. Striking from tension is not wrong!
