I really respect your Teaching Style. You don't make your students afraid or ashamed. You are a nice MAN. We need more like you Mr. Vasiliev. I don't say that lightly. Great video.
At one time (in the 90s) I use to go to Vlad's school in Toronto. He is a great guy, I met others that traveled from as far away as Australia, Germany Russia and others. One of the few places that you can spar with every one including the owner head trainer. Vlad also had at that time many friends in different Martial Arts Styles that would stop by from time to time.
I liked how MrV would every now and then go that little bit harder just to remind the punters he could really do some damage if he chose to. Dude is a weapon.
Great, but very much like any other knife disarm video where your students give you tons of help, as in they are used to acting along with the instructors touch. A lot of that simply would not work, but an equal amount is incredibly intuitive and insightful. Great movement and awareness.
Laura Hoffarth Really? He teaches north of Toronto, Canada, and that video is from Tokyo, Japan. Do you think those are his students? This is the first time most of them have ever seen him in person. Some of them attack slowly, but others are trickier. Pay attention to the part where he shows how to position his body to defend using the attacker's own body without doing anything else. That's valuable right there.
+Laura H I see where you're coming from. What you wouldn't know before watching this is that they're learning to attack while the defenses are being demoed. You could make a face, you could be tense, but that isn't Systema. The students are not skilled, however. But its been close to 4 years now. Maybe some of them have become quite good.
I trained under one of his students, never directly from Vladmir, but his stuff is real. It looks all cheesy with the way the guys are moving along with the instructor, but this is all just basics. As they progress and actually learn techniques, it'll look a lot more "real".
For the doubters, please feel free to boost the video speed to 2x in order to see something closer to real fighting speed. Vasiliev, like Ryabko before him, is first and foremost an expert in reading his opponent's shifts of body weight, whether they're stepping or launching an attack. Knowing that, V himself knows where to move himself, and what part of the opponent to counterattack, and with what. All V has to do then is _move faster._ And all of this is found in the much older art of which Systema is a free-form version: Taiji juan. Observation of your opponent's preparatory body weight shifts, and then counterattacking faster, is summed up in the rather flowery English translation from the original Chinese as "Start later but arrive sooner."
I think it’s great I keep seeing that one woman with short hair and bell bottom type pants. She looks timid, yet learning, and willing to go through, some of the most deadliest moves. Respect to all the females taking your training.
I love the fluidity of the movements. But, I would like to point out that hardly any knife weilding opponent ever strikes or stabs with a knife as you see here in this video. Most people tend to slash wildly and/or grab the victim and stab upward repeatedly in an uppercut like fashion. I realize this is ony a demonstration of various techniques, but I think I would like to see some systema defense against what I described. that would be interesting.
Are many same old countrys like Japan with fantastic martial arts,Holluywood make Japan martial art famous,but its not the last coca cola in desert,are many arts
certo perchè io che attacco con un coltello lo tengo appena appena in mano e poi seguo di sicuro il movimento che m impone.. ma per favore.. vorrei vedere in strada se è così..
I really like mr. wheeler’s approach to systema practice, but I kinda had a hard time wrapping my head around vladimir’s knife take downs/exercises. I’m not a knife fighter, but the attacks he was redirecting/defending against were missing a key element...that is the intent to do bodily harm/kill. I sure I’m missing an important piece of information not mentioned in his lesson/instruction from this short video
To be able to really handle high speed fierce attacks you need to train slow and soft.. This method develops awareness, insights, tactile sensitivity and connects movement, posture and alignment which is then expressed in versatility of defenses. See carefully how Vlad works and controls the whole body of an attacker along with his own and works angels and spiral movements. If you can't pull this of in a slow manner you will not be able to pull it of in high speed life and death situation either.... Slow work also helps integrate the concepts in the subconscious.
There is a difference between speed and intention. I know of people who are able to pull the intention to harm and embody it while moving slow (like a cat on a hunt when they go slowly first). This is the most helpful thing you could do for your partner who's learning. It comes and is sustained through breathing. Not everyone is able to do this. The intention definitely changes the quality of movement. It's even harder to do it when your exercise partner is a great master and you either admire them, or fear them/their response to such a level of intensity-density. It can also be more difficult to see through video if this intention is being brought to the game. Instructors don't necessarily bring it up in every class, as they may assume it's being brought up in exercises, or don't think/know about it, but to me it's a principle that needs to be there for more accurate training to happen. You need to experience it to know.
Faster work comes after, and that's when you know if you've been training/trained accurately, with intention or not. Biomechanical principles by themselves can still be technically very accurate, the human quality of intention is the cherry on top for a finer work.
He does it pretty well. I never learned from him directly, but i was trained by someone who trained under him and he was able to relay all the teachings Vasiliev taught very well.
@@alli2964 Vladimir used to be a boss, but as you can see he’s spend too much time in the “dojo” beating his own untrained students. He hasn’t evolved as fighting has. The only reliable systema guys today are Mark Malpass and Kevin Secours.
i know its a demo..but cmon when will someone attack with a knife like that....again i realize he wants to show the form...but this is like the staged karate attacks from days gone by.
From the looks of it, they're all pretty new to Systema. I went through that when i first started too. You start slow, with people coming at you like that so you can think about how to react and what to do. Eventually they will get faster and more aggressive as they learn more.
Joe, most Systema practitioners have trained for many years in multiple other arts. Vlad is unique I can assure you of that, and with all due reapect, unless you have trained with him, or another qualified Systema instructor, your opinion here means nothing.
FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAME TO LEARN KARATE TO DOJO FOR THE FIRST TIME. YOU MEET TUTOR, WHO WANT TO SHOW FEW MOVES. HE IS WORLD CHAMPION IN KARATE OR BOXING. HE WILL GO FULL FORCE ON YOU, BREAK YOUR JAW AND NOSE, WILL YOU EVER COME BACK TO THIS COACH??? MAN, DO NOT SAY NONSENSE. TO LEARN SOMETHING, YOU NEED TO START FROM BASICS, LIKE MATHEMATICS.

It's my pleasure

Great to see, thanks for the upload.

Dude is a weapon.
This method of self-defense is worth learning, to be sure
Vladimir is BEST OF!!!!

+ScruovGoogul absolutely I have trained on a course led by this guy.he is the real deal . His stuff works and works hard.

You have to *start somewhere.* This is a beginner class.

sehr schön...........
ultra superb!!~~
wish i could do that like you
Looks like a lot of Aikido students would feel right at home doing this kinda stuff.
Новички, сразу не падают)))

stabbing is a common thing once they get very close. Or if they sucker-strike while you are not expecting.
Excelente...! 👏👏👏
Practice and paractice to develop confidence..!
great
This guy is insane.
not sure they are trained well, but still a lot to learn from this video.
やはり同じ日本人がやってる様子を見ると自分ももっとシステマ習いたくなりますね(^ω^)
How to invite you sir?
Круто 👍
Meister 🙏🏻🥰
nice
Are many same old countrys like Japan with fantastic martial arts,Holluywood make Japan martial art famous,but its not the last coca cola in desert,are many arts
Last coca cola in desert! 😂👍🏼
is it all counter and defnsive deflection or are there any atacks or offensive moves?
Slow motion versus speed motion ? IS it realistic?
3:33 as you should see on the back of the t-shirt KOBE - this is in Japan
Try to spar a kyokushin fighter - would be interesting.
It is serious. And if nobody is attacking me, i dont need to fight. So i dont need to attack from myself.
certo perchè io che attacco con un coltello lo tengo appena appena in mano e poi seguo di sicuro il movimento che m impone.. ma per favore.. vorrei vedere in strada se è così..

Vlad's House of Flying Daggers.
2:34 that is serious shit lol
@vvasiliev: sir, how much we need to pay to join your full range camp?
I see he gets the attendees to play the offensive role, but how well does Vladimir instruct them in doing what he does?
He does it pretty well. I never learned from him directly, but i was trained by someone who trained under him and he was able to relay all the teachings Vasiliev taught very well.
3:17 is good
is this channel owned by the man himself?
Iike
اي مو عدو حيجيه علكيف يطكه
you make it look to easy i dont know if i could copy those techniques
Good for show it doesn't work like that on the street
I mean, he is russian kgb so I think the level of fighting he does, the people in the streets can't even imagine.

RUSSIA GO
coz u dont know what there is after death
Сомнительно всё как-то. Слишком много волшебства в данной технике))
Все очень реально и волшебство как ветер,что обдувает тебя и делает сильнее и опытнее
Мужик, сходи, попробуй, и узнаешь, раз и навсегда. Я так сделал.
Инструктора системы - высший пилотаж.
😂японців вчити айкі-дзю-дзюцу😂
La única situación que conozco donde el asaltante usa el cuchillo en cámara lenta y sólo utiliza una mano. Puro teatro.
i know its a demo..but cmon when will someone attack with a knife like that....again i realize he wants to show the form...but this is like the staged karate attacks from days gone by.

I don't doubt Vlad, but he always seems to be moving faster than the attacker. Shouldn't they try to match speeds to be a fair practice?
