Your stuff is really good as opposed to all the other Systema I've seen
Thanks for watching
Top shelf material
Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it.
You are a great instructor, Kevin
Awesome Video 👍
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Super intéressant! Merci
thanks
Kevin, at 1:30 you squat down bringing him down with you. Usually i see this type of take-down for side headlocks, but with your left leg going behind their left leg as you sit down (in turn blocking any leg movement on their part).
So, doing it this way as shown, do you find he has more chance of using that unchecked left leg to hop and circle to gain balance? It doesn't seem so, yet i was always told that is the reason you do stretch your leg over to cover that other angle/calf. Hope that makes sense. Your way looks very good as sometimes depending on movement/space, it is hard to get the leg over the side.
We refer to the elongation of the leg as a "pistol" takedown. It's a very good variation which we use as well, but it requires the ability to turn your own face in towards the attacker's torso. If they have your face turned to the outside and there is strong pressure on the trachea, sometimes, it takes too much time and effort to turn inward (all the while you are being choked), so it is more immediate to drop to a knee. When you are able to turn inwards, the pistol can be used as an option, but some students will not have the knee health or comfort to perform it. The knee to still making the knee drop variation work is to not just drop the student directly backwards (perpendicular to their spine) but rather to pull them down on a diagonal, perpendicular to your own spine. I hope that makes sense. The easiest way to drop someone is to intersect their baseline (the imaginary line between their feet). When you perform a knee drop takedown like this, you can safely assume their blocked foot will take a single step backwards to compensate. That will negate pressure that moves directly back on a perpendicular to their spine, but by moving perpendicular to your own spine, you basically compensate and predict where their foot will compensate and perfectly intersect the new position of their baseline the instant they arrive there. Let me know if that makes sense.
There's one headlock that nobody ever talks about, and I'd like to hear what you think about it, because this is the sole move which I was ever beaten with.
The opponent headlocks you (your head is at hip level and you're both facing the same direction) and they're also grabbing and pulling your hair with the other hand. How would you get out of this? I punched the guy in the jewels 3-4 times and that didn't help, and moving forward or backwards wasn't really a choice.
What do you think could be done?
A big one in the bars. I bump into him a bit, driving him slightly more towards his far foot, then either drop to my knee with the foot that is closest to his spine (or pistol, elongating the leg completely). I will place my backmost hand high on his collar, far shoulder or hair, and keep my close hand on the hand on my hair to avoid losing scalp. The fall is very rough and you can steer it a bit so you land on his ribs , If the hold persists, the back hand can go on top of his face and neck to gouge or hit the throat. This will usually do it. Let me know if this makes sense.
Kevin Secours I think I understand, I'll be sure to keep this in mind, thanks Mr Secours :)
Sorry for the late reply also!
well, the first and only time i will find a fastest answer than Kevin's one....... juste shave your hair as h'es doing, ;)
I always train just using one knee to the ground rather than two. However i can see the benefit of a more perpendicular position with both knees. Have you found any advantage to one over two knees? Thanks!
One leg can definitely work and there are a lot of people that have great and effective mechanics with it. From a teaching perspective, I usually start with dropping both legs. First, it's a unified motion. Both legs are performing the same action. Sometimes, when people go down on one leg, they hold themselves up a little, or resist their own drop and that slows the technique down and allows the aggressor to adjust. Also, I find that when people go down on one leg, they often plant the ball of their foot on their lower leg and that makes the ankle and knee vulnerable to impact from the falling attacker. When I drop on both, I sit on my heels like I'm kneeling intentionally to protect them. Sometimes, when people go down on one leg, they tend to reach for the ground and brace themselves--again because I think it can be more resistant and a lower slower--it literally gives them too much time to think about things. But there are some people who are resistant or fearful of the idea of dropping with both and for them, I just make sure they are using the best possible mechanics. For myself, I much prefer the speed and total drop of going to both knees, but I'm only 45 right now, so my legs may not agree in 10 more years :)
Thanks, i agree. I think the mechanics and confidence in movement are probably the deciding factors on which version is preferred/used.
I am surprised however more don't use these leg dropping motions over the more standard standing hip throw, considering how much easier it is. Like you, i have found this to the better option (get low as possible before the throw and let gravity help win you the fight).
Hopefully for us all, this will only ever be a practice technique, never to be used for real.
