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.’

Great drill sequence and I like your terms and explanations. Very useful and I will incorporate these in my instruction. Thank you.

[@MarkJakabcsin1]

Thank you. I am happy you found some value.

[@GuiyomNamaskar]

interesting point on the kill zone, thanks to make it that clear

[@MarkJakabcsin1]

Thanks Guillaume. I need to do a video with an overhead view to show the angles, turning instead of stepping, relative position of safety, and kill zones. I have been talking about this for years, I just need to make it happen. Some day, some day.

Great video as usual. Keep them coming!

[@MarkJakabcsin1]

Thanks Patrick. Unfortunately, I am out of video right now. Not enough people showed up on Saturday so I could not film. Good news is I got to teach a progression I have taught in awhile, so when I film it I will be better.

Can u do drills on multiple attackers ground and standing

[@Luci823]

Do u have any other structure breaking drills ?

[@MarkJakabcsin1]

Hi Wayne, check out the Remote Control Drill video. It helps folks see the direction of movement of the 6 points and how to use that movement.

I hope you enjoy.

Also look at the structure videos with regard to striking. Personally I strive to understand how striking and grappling are similar, as it allows me to study and train both simultaneously, rather than independently.
In both endeavors, start and continue to study your own structure. Feeling and understanding of others starts with ourselves.
Check out this one.

Kill zone! brilliant

Thanks John.

@@MarkJakabcsin1 I've come across a similar concept in the German fencing fechtbooks called the "space of play" in translation, and I've long struggled to visualize that for H2H until... killzone! And there it is.
