I did study Systema for a couple of years and it does place a lot of emphasis on yielding and rolling out of conflict whereas Krav Mga seems 'harder' (external). I do know that some people said Systema seemed very like Kung fu in it's base movements but I couldn't say. In the video you showed I'd say that the sort of training we did was more like the free moving and evasive techniques seen at about 46 seconds to 1 minute 10.Littlefairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246280876114510291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346142069319971177.post-9998681721332857532009-04-06T09:44:00.000-07:002009-04-06T09:44:00.000-07:00The MarFest09 is on Sat. 9th May.

I'm having a hard time reconciling this (http://tinyurl.com/ca7xwk) and this (http://tinyurl.com/clpq9k), I've never been sure if these are just extreme examples but Systema seems very Aikido like while Krav Maga seems more JKD like.<BR/><BR/>I've always wondered about Systema, but thinking I was always getting a poor perspective.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376316707469505765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346142069319971177.post-50425295713068866242009-04-05T11:57:00.000-07:002009-04-05T11:57:00.000-07:00Ah sorry Sue!
