Re: Systema No Contact Techniques

Dan:

I respectfully disagree with your point on this. Without really putting time in training fully in their methods, you are not really in a position to talk about what practices they do work, or do not work for that matter. Unlike many other arts, what they do has been "field tested" in combat situations. The attacker's fluidity is part of their training process. I have been quite impressed in watching experienced Systema teachers engaging is "tests" with other martial artists. They are formidable attackers and defenders who seem to maintain better centers than most.
