GI Joe Systema Drill Progression - Systema with Mark J

This simple Systema drill progression helps each student understand how to utilize the 6 points of movement to take an opponent down. The early drills in this Systema training progression have no animation, the ‘attacker’ is stationary, as if a GI Joe doll. This allows the students to study how moving one point affects all of the points. Both students have an opportunity to study, do not be lazy when playing the attacker, feel the connections. As the attacker begins to animate, move slowly, and consistently at first. As the defender gains confidence, the attacks should increase in speed and intensity to whatever level the partners agree to. However, in my opinion, high-speed training is for testing, not learning. The learning occurs at slower speeds where one can study what does/does not work and why. A good training program will have some testing but the majority of the work is done at slower speeds.

Remember, ‘If you can learn it fast, you can learn it twice as fast, slow.’
