Actually this proves that systema does not work in a real agressive fight. If you can't dodge a punch at such a slow speed when you know what the attacker will do, how are you going to handle a punch at high speed when you don't know from where and when it is coming?? Why can't you realize this and change and adapt you system? Also, the punch is always faster than the rotation of the body, so the body and punch will take the whole punch. Systema at best is for an easy untrained attacker, that's all.
@@ToddBrandon-dg2dm Actually he is teaching face punch "absorption" in the case you don't block. But when he attempts to block you see that it's not easy for him, something normal, but still exposes the idea of blocking in the systema way. Not saying the concepts are wrong, just that physics only allow partial use of them.
The closed captions auto-transcription really helped.
Was that lady part of the class, or a random passerby? Man I can't wait for end of covid
Yes, that was Pat McGee. She is a regular at Atlanta Systema.

Another good warm up drill for this work is pushing the face. Here is an older video on the topic. ua-cam.com/video/4jZ_q-rQL-g/v-deo.html
You guys need to work on getting on a treadmill and not this bullshido
