Systema with Mark J: Heaviness for Systema Striking

   • Systema with Mark J: Heaviness for Sy...  

This video shows a Systema progression drill for learning to feel heaviness in the hands and body and how to transmit that mass into a target. Heaviness is very important for Systema striking but note, there is more than one method for striking. The Systema striking method shown is similar to throwing a baseball, in that, the fist is thrown then the body relaxes and allows the fist to fly to the target without further effort. Note, there is more than one method to Systema striking, this video is simply showing one method.

Learning to feel weight and understanding how structure and range can positively or negatively impact the ability to transfer mass into a target are keys to deeper striking. The progression shown in this video teaches fundamentals that can be used in other striking and grappling methods.
