Love the History Coach Combat Systema 👍🙏
Thank you
Hi Kevin, I bought your Joint Health and Mobility video series and it helped tremendously. I threw out my hip/back (I think it was facet syndrome) some spinal distortion.
It was a struggle just to get up.
After going through half of the video, I regained some mobility.
Thank you for creating invaluable content!
Tim N thank you so much. That is great to hear. All the best in your recovery and training.
You're taking us on a journey of discovery. Feel like I'm watching some classic Attenborough.
I was reading a lot that month. Lol.
This is fantastic. Thank you for innovating systema and martial arts in general. I'm more & more realizing how important my hand structure is in giving deeper more penetrating strikes. This is being understood by habitually doing knuckle push ups which I'm realizing is developing the muscles in my hand, and understanding there is a direct correlation to how hard I'm able to hit.
Fist push ups are so informative. Totally agree. I’m glad the video was helpful. I go off on tangents sometimes lol. Happy holidays. Thanks for watching.
Great video bud. Love your work
I've read that the throwing motion was a key factor in the evolutionary development of human hand eye coordination. In regards to fist striking specifically, situation will determine everything. For example, we had a very tall guy in our dojo one time and the instructor had him stand still in front of me. I had always been taught to land the punch with the first two relatively larger knuckles. However, when as an experiment I was instructed to slow motion simulate vertical punching the taller man up the length of his centerline my fist configuration naturally had to vary. From the solar plexus and below I could demonstrate striking flushly with the first two knuckles. As I moved up the line of his sturnum l could continue contact with the first two knuckles. However, when I reached the area above his collar bone in striking his throat and point of his chin my fist naturally had to incline upward in order to make solid contact and my landing point of striking contact became progressively more the bottom three knuckles as opposed to the top two. What inhibits my adaptability in fist striking is dogmatic thinking that there is something wrong with striking with the first two knuckles. I can feel people like Teri Tom looking down upon me with disapproval as l land with the first two knuckles upon the heavy bag as if I were violating the sacred theology of Jack Dempsey and Bruce Lee in the blasphemous act of not striking exclusively with the bottom three knuckles. Well, today is the day I break out of my cage of dogmatic fear. I'm shouting out to the world that it's OK TO STRIKE WITH A MULTIPLICITY OF DIFFERENT HAND AND FIST CONFIGURATIONS!
However, the question is would I continue my bravery if Teri Tom actually walked in to the gym as I was working out? Would I continue to strike the bag with downward fist flexion utilizing the first two knuckles? Or would my knees begin to tremble as I shout out "love the three knuckle landing, Teri" as she approached my position closer?
I believe overcoming fear is ultimately of more importance in the martial arts than the mastery of technical method.
Absolutely. You might enjoy my clip on Fist Facets. I advocate exploring your hand to see what is most natural for you, start with that and isolate that until you have a basic skill, then play with variety. Teaching both simultaneously to a newbie can take a lot longer to get confidence--I used to and saw this firsthand. The only way the first two can land on much taller opponents is with hooking, hinging actions, where the thumb is screwed downward like you're dumping out a glass--an overhand right or what we term a slavic hook. Rebuking dogma is a huge step. Well done.
@@systemacanada Thanks for replying to my post. Different tools for different purposes and situations should determine what we use. However, from a pure physics perspective not considering opponents counter defensive or counter offensive potential is the two knuckle or three knuckle landing more powerful?
Two has a smaller surface area therefore less distribution of force and more penetration. Statistically two has more durability-Most fractures occur in the two smallest knuckles during hitting. That being said there are some awesome and successful three knuckles out there like you mentioned
Great material with a lot of information.
Coming think and fast! Awesome.
Very interesting concepts!!
Thanks for watching Robert.
I like this guy
Does this download cover open hand (palm strikes) techniques?
I could apply but no it focuses on fist work
Okay what about aikido
What about it? Ifirst it’s not exactly a striking art. Moreover if we’re talking primal movement I would say aikido is about as far removed as possible. It’s highly cognitive and fine motor, replete with small joint manipulation, low on striking and governed by moral ideology rather than reflex primacy.
@@systemacanada could you show a more realistic version of it
Just check out more Ceferino footage. ruclips.net/video/YVfDfTyiS2kZ/видео.html . I slowed it down in my clip for people less versed in boxing but the delivery and angle of his bolo punch is obvious
Also Tommy Hearns is a great example. The way he delivers his rright hand in particular is like a chop, utilizing hinging overscrewing and requiring wrist flexion to maintain surface

And then of course the trailer for this download has full speed drilling and sparring footage
Are Palm strikes more natural I know they had bagua Kung Fu but I don't believe they really yeah can beat most martial artist. MMA is a great thing
I used to think the same. But if your knuckles and wrists aren't conditioned, then open hand strikes make a lot more sense when you don't have gloves on. Palm is soft. Knuckles are hard. If you're hitting to a soft target (ribs, neck), knuckles can be better. If you're hitting to a hard target (skull), palms can be better. Hard to soft, soft to hard.
I am not sure I understand your comment. MMA is great. It's a sport though. Bare knuckle boxing looks quite different. Even in mma, despite wraps and gloves, breaks are quite common. If you look at primate movement or humans in complete rage or flinch states, you see the most essential movements.
Punching is entirely unnatural.
I like your videos, but that was a gibbon.
It’s was the closest thing I could find lol
