Systema EXCELLENCE seminar (DVD)

  Finished watching "Systema Excellence" and that's just what it was, excellent.
by Eric Kin, January 09, 2011
A must for anyone wanting to have a deeper understanding of the internal workings of mind and body mechanics.

  This is what I liked about Systema Excellence.
by Alan Reeman, November 29, 2010
Its very serious content, makes you think and look at martial arts in a new way.

  Just a great movie!

Thanks for the huge amount of information.

  This is what impressed me in Mikhail Ryabko's STEALTH STRIKING.
by Major Konstantin Komarov, December 11, 2010
Simplicity and originality of approach to short and invisible strikes. We are so used to standard thinking. With punches, we expect visible application of force. While Mikhail showed work that is so fine and subtle psychologically, subtle to such an extend that until it is explained it cannot be grasped. I tried this work myself at the recent seminar in Kiev and I was easily able to apply this unique approach. Moreover, all serious Systema practitioners at the seminar were very successful at implementing it. No studying of complicated patterns or memorization was required, it was more like some routine understanding had to flip in the mind and it became clear how to strike this way.

  Having participated in the Systema Excellence Seminar, watching the first part of the video, Stealth Striking by Mikhail Ryabko, unabled me to review and appreciate the depth of information transmited by the Teacher in an open, humane, and healthy way.

Of course to be in his presence is a little more intimidating than watching the video, Even with his jovial humor and modesty, one can feel the tremenous power of this Teacher. Mikhail's insight shared in this video if studied in depth, gives enough information to create a whole Martial Art. I`m looking foward to watching the second part of this film, Internal Control by Konstantin Komarov. With respect and gratitude, Antonio Lampreia

The Secret of the True Warrior Written for Mikhail Ryabko The true warrior allows others to shine And he himself is enlightened The true warrior gives and restores And he himself is made full The true warrior shares of his knowledge And he himself finds brothers and sisters along the sacred way Yes The true warrior knows that all arts are to be taught for spiritual wisdom And they are to be shared so that others may understand the higher way upon the sacred Path of life Because the true warrior is a spiritual warrior He knows that all people are but mirrors of himself He knows that the greatest struggle is within his own heart He knows that the greatest ignorance is within his own mind He knows that the greatest victory is not achieved in defeating another through combat But from overcoming the illusion that there is a difference between us at all For he knows there is certain point The center of all centers Where ALL paths and art merge into one And this is the true warriors greatest secret In a single breath He Understands That ALL opposites Are ONE And The SAME

by Emmanuel Meignein, January 10, 2011
it's really a great explained dvd. it's very interesting to heard about the knowledge of the body and human being and understand what's being the fight !!! i feel it, understand & agree with simple principles that are as Konstantin said the most difficult to experienced !!!

  "Each DVD is an ongoing conversation between teacher and student, each teaching progresses all other teachings" says Mikhail at the end of his session.

When you watch and listen to Mikhail Ryabko and Konstantin Komarov talking to each of us about the nature of Systema, you will look at your work and all the other DVDs you watch with greater insight. Mikhail will show you correct distance for Stealth Striking, determined by how tension grows in the opponent. This is the beginning of becoming accountable as you work with someone else. Mikhail's methods address your mental attitude while you form a punch and how your movement through space will either signal to the opponent that you are coming, or catch him unaware. Stealth strikes are not trick punches, but the sleight of hand that comes from understanding what not to do, and how to veil your work in normalcy and stillness. Mikhail demonstrates many approaches to striking. He shows typical errors and how the opponent reacts defensively, and then, how to do it right. He raises his fist and asks, "Am I irritating you?" the evidence of which is obvious in his opponent's body language. Mikhail doesn't dwell on any technique, rather, he shows a process and from there many variations would be possible. I was moved by the way he meets the admiration of his students with a sincere humility. "The rumors of my mastery are greatly exaggerated", he says with a smile and a laugh, after which he apologizes for any mistakes he might have made. Brilliant and down to earth are very compelling characteristics in a teacher, but this is also how he teaches us to practice Systema. Konstantin follows Mikhail with a narrative on Internal Control that looks deeply into the process of being a Systema practitioner and how to be accountable to yourself for the state of your body and mind, both on and off the practice floor. Konstantin addresses the way in which a Systema practitioner deliberately flexes his psyche by exploring both fear and pain. He uncovers how pain grows in ones imagination as fear and how to work towards cleaning these illusions away through the process of taking strikes. "We get rid of our baggage. Systema is freedom" Konstantin explains how Systema has no database of moves or positions like many martial arts. "The psyche loves details and tricks and it fragments the whole." Systema practice is continuous movement, whereby a practitioner sifts for the feeling of moving correctly and painstakingly builds the somatic memory of that state in each new situation. He encourages us to exploit every partner in the room and to account for all challenges we encounter as our own. "In Systema, we move towards a state of wholeness everyday." Konstantin would have us appreciate working through the basics in Systema, as the process through which we come to examine all of our restrictive patterns and limitations, both physical and psychological. He said something quite beautiful to me at the seminar in answer to a personal question about slow push-ups. He said, "The body is a lens through which you are now looking at yourself. Systema practices increase the focus." Konstantin sums his reflections up by describing the learning spiral of Systema being helical, ever spiraling upward, crossing the same point on the circle of learning in new higher and sometimes extraordinary ways. "It all begins with the decision to do Systema, but then one has to decide again and again". Just decide to study this DVD and I guarantee you'l watch it again and again.

  I really enjoyed this DVD, the explanations and demonstrations were just amazing.

Truth - When Less Is More Than Enough Written For & Inspired By: Mikhail Ryabko Many believe they need more and more and more to succeed in life And in combat But truly… Having all the answers is not enough One must apply the solutions Knowing all the techniques is not enough One must understand the inner movements Seeking the right path is not enough One must become that which they seek In the mirror of truth there is an illusion of reflection The real opponent to truth hides within Therefore, When you see the question contains the answer When you see the path leads only back to your self When you are able to learn from the essence of your own self You will seek less and less and less And You will Understand the Great Mystery You will grasp the way of the true masters And then Your successes will be simple Because Less will be more Than enough
