I think your channel is one of the most educational channels of wma on youtube, as well as your training structure, have you ever planned launching a book?
Monty I like all your videos and your techniques are great, but I would like to see more "full-force" training. This slow form stuff is great, but I think it needs to be supplemented with full-force sparring.
No, you don't have to be a certain height or very strong to be effective. There are women that do Systema into their sixties that I have seen and know of. I have had many female students in my Systema Training Roma classes.
MinockerSpanichle Please note that Systema Training Roma (my school) and Systema Roma are two very different schools. The school Systema Roma is not part of Vladimir Vasiliev's organization of Russian Martial Art. I can only speak for my school, which is part of RMA.
If you don't have the control or common sense to train like this, then you shouldn't be doing it. Everyone at their own level. In my experience, protection adds false levels of security, psychologically, and people act and think differently. The whole point of training without protection in a controlled situation is to more correctly simulate reality. This isn't sparring, or even how I would advise most people to train, unless they've been exposed to certain ideas and methods.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more of these kind of knife play vids. I've done it with my friends before with wooden tantos, it's so fun!

this is awsome! you're italian right? do you know of any classes in england?
Is Systema Roma too difficult for women fighters? Do you have to be very strong or a certain height to be effective?

No eye protection. Not smart.
