Systema with Mark J: Thoughts on Walking from the Knee & Stacking& Stacking

Some thoughts from class at Atlanta Systema about walking from the knee, keeping the body relaxed and stacking the body directly above the foot that is stepping. By raising the arms and feeling the weight in the arm/hand you can feel if you are shifting weight as you step. This is a big key for learning Systema heaviness for striking and grappling.
As movement becomes more natural you should ramp the speed and attacking intensity. Remember the attacker can study the same movement.

I worked with Mark from 2008-2013 or so. I still remember how heavy he could become back then and the Love(strikes) that can come from that. This is obviously an expansion on that work and I can't wait to try it. Great video Mark. Keep up the good work!!

Great to hear from you Brian. Glad you found this helpful.

Great reminder for something we do everyday and easily take for granted. This exercise helps to take alot of tension off the knees especially if you have torn meniscus or pain.

Thank you Brian for the reply. Looking forward to the next time we get to train.
