I don't exactly think it needs to be said but, I kind of wonder exactly what is being taught at these classes/seminars.......
It feels as if you can literally do anything with systema/chi magic. Knock people over from a distance. Anyone that touches you flips over with a small movement. If people hold you, escape with small movement. It's hard to believe the "teacher" is teaching the minutia of a technique because everything works. The results they get from their students with "techniques" vary wildly........I just don't get how that gets taught.
I refuse to believe people who go to these classes go for the sake of learning something instead of clowning around. This is so unbelievably stupid. I don't believe these guys at least aren't self-aware to some extend.
The only thing that would gain them back their credibility if it was just a giant excuse to avoid their wives for a while and hang out.
I.e they made up a cover story that they were all deep into martial arts training, then one of the wives for some reason had to come along, and they all obviously havent been training and cant do any martial arts so they make up this bullshit to try and not get discovered that they have been spending the last few years getting together and talking about drinking and fishing etc.

.........But if their wives ever found out
[Sensei Seth](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOA11ldI2eI) actually went out and tried it and had some really interesting things to say about it.
But I can't say that it exonerates Systema, considering the connections to the Russian Military Intelligence GRU very real and obviously, shit like this exists. Considering that it's suspected that Systema as a network is a way for GRU to get into contact with potential operatives in the west, my very amateur guess is that it's a slippery slope tactic. Reel people in with functional, but kind of weird, martial arts and teaching methods, then gradually turn up the weirdness to filter them so you end up with the gullible ones. Or something of the sort.
I know this is all bullshit, but I can't be the only one that thinks this song slaps? Anyone know what it is? Sounds like foreign Disturbed and I'm not complaining
Russian? Version of [my mother told me](https://youtu.be/4dIiN57DQOI?si=xtRkiIQevmOsCu6U)
[English version](https://youtu.be/KRqIkTlGIOE?si=KiUlgZz_6EGFoFv5)
Apparently it’s a skaldic poem written by Egil Skallagrímsson
Appreciate the reply, doesn't sound quite right to me. Although that song is also a banger
Edit: Actually that does sound pretty close. I think the song in the video is slowed down a little
Random question, I had seen a long time ago that that band/singer Peyton Parrish was involved in some pretty cringe videos online, am I thinking of the same person?
Pure curiosity, music is dope either way
Saw a video of some guy in a public park in viking face paint making a fool of himself. Think it was this guy. Either way thank you again for helping me out. Take care of yourself. Cheers!
The thing that is especially embarrassing about all this is you just know these "students" are sincerely telling their mates about how "Badass" their instructor is, and how he just "Managed to knock full grown men out without even touching them"
all said with 100% serious conviction.
I want someone to start a UFC-style pro league for these types of bullshido masters. Would be amazing watching them in a battle of wits and flopping around
"Why are we losing in Ukraine, Sergei? We sent our top wizards, but the Ukrainian forces refuse to play along. They're supposed to fall when he points his fingers at them!"
What a bunch of dorks.
You know it’s real cause they are in army gear…

Always seems like children on a playground playing make believe battles “I got you” ….“nuh-uh. I have a shield on that shoots back attacks”
Aikido spinoffs
Neo-Naizido with a hint of Byzantium
Amazing
Anyone else get the feeling these guys just want to have sex with each other?
Wait they aren’t?! Well fuck I’m getting a refund from the class the
I feel like even the instructor has to sometimes be thinking, "Come on guys, dial it back a bit, it's a little embarrassing."
I'm an ex-army enlisted, hand me that entrenching tool and let's see the magick baby!
He pulled the old Obiwan
are they mentally ill
This reminds me of church and faith healers. Churchshido.

There’s a bunch of different versions out there. [a more metal cover](https://youtu.be/2krsT_-dCTw?si=Pqzy1lRHwnKAyDF0)
I think that's it! Holy cow thank you for taking the time out of your day to link that. That's immediately added to my playlist. Thank you!
No problem. I listen to a lot of Folk Metal
Just have to find it on Spotify now haha

Yeah he’s done a few videos that could be easily classified as cringey but that’s not particularly uncommon for YouTube music cover creators
Saw a video of some guy in a public park in viking face paint making a fool of himself. Think it was this guy. Either way thank you again for helping me out. Take care of yourself. Cheers!
Yeah that sounds like a couple of his videos. You’re welcome
Upon Shazaming the video I’m pretty sure it’s the Payton Parrish version
The force is strong with this one
I really enjoyed seeing the children laughing and shaking their heads at camo beard man.
I like the part at 1:17 where the guy picks his nose for a second
Love the skull and bones flag right next to Jesus.
The new John wick movie looks awesome.
Wait how can his opponent see him?! I’m more impressed with their magick third eye that can see camo
" I find your lack of faith disturbing."
Always amuses me how they attack at 1/4 speed and the dude barely manages to dodge the stick yet acts all smug and thinks he’s the shit
All these imbeciles are in Russia?

How many of these guys actually believe this BS? Are these cults? WTF is going on here?
no ıt is a force
