Hey. Ando again from Happy Life Martial Arts.
I'm here today at the Academy in Beverly Hills.
This is home to Rigan Machado Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and
Martin Wheeler Systema. I'm here today to get
few tips on the Systema approach to throwing a punch.
It's a little different than other styles, so I think you'll find it interesting.
Okay. As promised, I'm here with a true
force of nature. This is Menamy the Tsunami.
How are you sir? <I'm good. <Top of
the world. So, you are a black belt in
Judo, you're a black belt in Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu, you're a certified instructor
in Jeet Kune Do, and you're a certified
instructor in Systema. Is all that right?
<That's all right. <My god, you're old.
I mean, you've been around. So, when you came
to Systema, you must have seen something
that was worth staying for. And I know
Systema is one of those styles that
people love to make fun of on the
internet, particularly people who never
tried a Systema class. So, what can you
offer to people out here an approach to
punching and maybe they haven't thought
of that would make them realize that
Systema people aren't completely crazy.
<Okay, so let's talk about the power of
striking because that's what really drew
me into Systema, the power. <The power.
<Yeah.
so let's look at it from two different
components one is external or the
physical, okay, the other being internal,
which means really emotional and
spiritual. you have to look at all the
components we have as a human being when
you talk about power okay okay so not
just muscles people think about speed
and power lifting weights getting a
heavy bag you're talk about emotional
and spiritual issues right I'm intrigued
okay
so let's start with the physical. okay what
prevents you from creating a powerful
strike is your tension.
my tension yes tension is like the
mother of all evil in any performance
okay as you mother of all evil tension
is the mother of all evil right okay so
why is tension a problem exactly
tension walks us a break when you talk
about hitting or punching okay so you
mean it looks like you're about to yeah
maybe a little later okay cool now let's
get into some mechanics yes okay in
order to have that relaxation you need
to have a good posture and structure of
your body
mm-hmm so would you consider like the
way most people kind of line up is this
good posture is is bent posture right
okay so that's more like a boxing
posture yes right which is you know you
can use it as well sure but let's we've
got boxing versus maybe Systema, okay.
okay you trying to cause trouble that's
fine yeah just just to look at how we
hold ourselves up okay this is how
boxers do. okay so, simply put, boxing
has rules and Systema does not. okay okay
so I'm gonna explain that. in boxing,
there are only two fighters so let's say
you and I face up
yes right what time about time right and
then what happens is my focus is only on
you yes nothing else it doesn't matter
what happens around you or around me
right so naturally I get my I have my
chin down
my hands are up I use my shoulder to
guard myself the jaw is your primary
target yes
yes as well as your stomach in boxing so
you naturally control right right and
from here this is a position of
limitation restricted the position and
then it requires a lot of hand speed
mm-hmm and muscle strength to generate
the power mm-hmm
so that's boxing in general. now, Systema
lies outside the ring, so when you think
about the environment you may face
multiple opponents including weapons
okay in that environment let's say if I
fight right you relaxing and then your
friends show up right and they surround
me and then I can't fight like this
right I have to know what's going on so
so I stay posture doesn't help you
outside of the ring because you're
curling up your awareness your curling
up your body you're putting tension all
your focus it's one direction but now
you're completely vulnerable all around
you you're not seeing what's going on
you're not prepared to move in those
other directions you're just stuck on
one funnel exactly all right
yes yes that's correct so so that's what
happens now then you need to open up
mm-hmm right so you can see and feel
what's around you what's going on which
happens to be your natural being stance
and that's how you walk you're not going
to be walking around like this right
right crazy so so that's where the power
really comes from being natural with
yourself so so that's why you want to
open up which means you have your
natural stance your feet shoulder-width
your shoulders open your head is up and
your spine is you know straight aligned
with your hips knees and ankles
and all these joints should not be rigid
okay they should be relaxed free and
mobile very good so very much like
internal styles and Chinese arts they
would find this in common right yeah
yeah sure sure
You don't see Tai Chi people starting off...
right they're looking
for the same alignment and natural
position just right so from there when
you have that good structure or posture
of your body you have a good platform to
launch a strike from okay okay so if my
posture is broken okay then I put stress
on my body
mm-hmm and then create tension mm-hmm
so that's another reason that you want
to have a natural comfortable stance
that you don't put stress on your body
so even when you're committing to a
punch about putting myself into this
position now I'm using tension to hold
myself up right and the court need even
if I snap back and really fast there's
still a moment that one kind of stuck
right before I can get it back it's that
and if you're ready you're gonna take
advantage of that right okay I would
have hit it with the whole surface over
the fist so that it has more impact into
your body you're not cutting in with the
knuckles you're looking at this as a
blunt force right - I mean it's not that
you can't write you can you know you can
hit it like that but it can't get nasty
and there's more chance about hurting
your fists as well okay and and one
thing is our striking is not really
intended to destroy or damage a person
say that again
our striking is not really intended to
destroy or damage a person so our strike
is based on healing not on an aggression
or destruction your striking in Systema
is based on the concept of healing not
destruction
so you're giving me a violent massage
your gives me yeah an acupressure
treatments in a spa with a big strong
punch because ultimately you're trying
to what why is that how's this going to
the emotional side of things right
that's right so can we talk about that
little leg I can't stop
oh yes this letter doesn't create yes
okay so what I punch okay so you want to
relax your huh okay
particularly your shoulder because
that's where tension comes out a lot
right make your arm conduit over your
energy okay all right if there's any
excess tension in your arm your energy
gets blocked okay so so when I shoot it
it doesn't go into the body clean mm-hmm
okay see almost like you're stopping
yourself it's like a hose with little
kinks in it a little bent bends in the
hose then the water pressure is getting
diverted and held back so you're trying
to keep that hose open as full-out as
you can sighs I catch up exactly right
exactly right
so because it's really the energy going
into your body your energy going in am i
right
my hand is
going in my fist is not going into you
by okay so you're sending your energy by
relaxing by releasing your arm without
interaction okay okay yeah so if I would
hit okay all right now I must say for
all the people who hate on Systema and I
know it's easy when you're looking at
videos especially if you don't know what
the exercises that they're doing I've
never been hit harder than Martin
wheeler here in his systemic program and
but it's kind of a thick guy so
sometimes I might be thinking well
that's just because he's a little bigger
than me but how much do you weigh? <120 <120!
is that right. Wow
so I'm-- <Well we'll get milkshakes
right after this.
I'm 170 and what I find impressive is as
impressive as Martin's punches are, you're
smaller than I am and your punch really
does still pack a wallop. That's a great
punch even if it wasn't on the solar
plexus which is I would always think a
dirty trick in Systema. I always see that
oh well of course that hurts but can you
give me a shot someplace else
yeah oh okay double great hold on the
one on your heart I get it yeah yeah
just give me the army okay okay yeah
that's good yeah lovely
yeah definitely now I know that's hard
to feel in a video they're actually it's
impossible to feel but um these really
feel a lot heavier than you think they
really penetrate and move me so if
there's energy coming out of you I'm
definitely receiving it what other thing
is uh you know I don't want to pass
through you there's nothing behind it so
I want my energy going into your body so
that's interesting is a lot of people
like in karate might save you're
breaking boards you're never focusing on
the board you're going through
or but you're saying don't really think
about this just put more into me right
right because I'm dealing with your body
and and and it's a human body so there
are a lot of things going on inside the
body okay so you don't treat human body
as a board or any object or even the
wall right so that's why when you hit it
when the energy going into the body the
energy effect inside of your body okay
so I see a lot of push-ups in Systema
training everywhere I like it's just
push-ups push-ups push-ups now you
already said that you're not focusing
muscular strength so what is the
connection between all these push-ups
and punching okay so the way we do the
push-ups is a knuckle push-ups hmm and
it trains your striking structure so
you're not trying to build a big
knuckles necessarily no no maybe comes
with it but that's not the purpose of it
okay it's just to get your stretch of
right this is the exact structure over
your hand when you hit so this is
demonstrating alignment when you hit
something you're just trying to register
you bring pressure on your skeleton to
make sure that's lined up right right so
when you put your weight on push-up
positions and you are already aligned
your hands are like mm-hmm
so this is exactly
to hit so are you saying if people just
do knuckle push-ups that they're doing
sistema there must be more to it than
that
there's way more to it than that
and when you do the push-ups or any of
the exercises you do you have to link
your breath to the movement okay
and this breathing part is a whole
another thing it's you know I can't get
into it today
we'll shoot another video okay we'll do
it thanks for asking me back thank you
for me so when I see you do a push-up
like for instance I don't see you guys
pump out like sets of like 25 and 50 you
do like one pushup
right so you can do one push-up with for
example okay you can take 60 seconds to
go down to do the push-up and 60 seconds
going up oh you know however you want to
do it you can be very very imaginative
about how you train but here when I go
down slowly like this I'm training every
movement of are going down now you're
not trying to get a pump right now
you're doing the opposite you're trying
to let go of tension as you do this yes
yes so I'm I'm tweeting let go of all
the unnecessary muscles mm-hmm so I can
only use necessary ones hmm so I'm
trying to find out where I can let go
know what you can't let go and then you
can fight then you can find you can
separate certain six inch sections of
your body what you can use what you
don't need to use mm-hmm so oh the body
doesn't go out all the muscles don't go
along with it
so you're not wasting energy again this
is my efficiency you're not if you have
to fire your muscles so it's got to be
some level of tension just to move your
arm but you're trying to train your body
right now to educate if you say I only
need this very thin layer of fibers to
fire up this particular punch don't use
anything else then a slow-motion push-up
you would recommend maybe people instead
of doing 100
today do one good one make it last a
minute two minutes right minute down a
minute up and just keep telling yourself
to relax
exactly exactly you know I mean it may
be too long to begin with so you can
start with a ten seconds you know just
go down with 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and so
forth you know if you're comfortable
with my friends are tough out there they
can handle it if you guys do not it let
us know if a minutes too much to let him
know that 10 seconds is not acceptable
we get we couldn't shoot higher than
that ah maybe we'll do a challenge on
this yeah yeah see how long you can make
your push up less that'd be interesting
if you want to tag minami and myself in
a video showing how long you can make
one push up without stopping there right
so it's a one push up descent as low as
you can go without touching your body to
the ground so just toes and knuckles and
then all the way back up how long can
you make that one push up laughs exactly
and the key is constant movement right
yeah no speeding up right just cause
that same move the same speed okay so no
herky-jerky right exactly that's what
your body still needs to be trained a
little more oh I like do you accept this
challenge I'll have to see if I accept
this challenge so can you speak to the
emotional component right so let's get
into the internal aspect of it so when
you face a when you face a threat or
fight when you get into a fight your
emotion elements yes okay so fear and
and the frustration all these are very
common emotions you feel but when these
emotions are high you're weakened your
powers taking away okay so let me
explain well you may think anger might
be on your side because when you're
angry you feel like you have more
powerful right but it's not because you
create a lot of tension all over your
body and I've already talked about the
tension right sure so the anger or fear
or anything you're feeling if that's
adding to your crouch if that's adding
to your attention you're just robbing
power away from what you couldn't
deliver exactly exactly you know you can
experiment it with yourself by you know
feeling anger you know getting into the
past and whatever makes you to be really
angry and you know try to relieve that
moment and you get angry angry and then
you feel the tension coming up your body
right it's the same thing with
frustration or or fear okay when you're
fearful you know you tense up right so
all that is in the way of releasing your
your energy right so good systemic class
is not just a workout it's a therapy
session because you've got to dig deep
into whatever's making you angry or
frustrated or your egos getting damaged
and you need to be able to clear all
that stuff out so you can have that pure
intention of a solid strike yes yes yeah
yeah well that so so let's talk about
the flip side right which is so if I
release my say negative energy
okay and if I relax and even be happy
mm-hmm let's say be happy there you go
happy life ahead of you I got this right
and laughing enjoying the moment yeah
I'll get all that relaxes you okay let
your body go and then you have more
powerful because everything there's
nothing really stopping you mm-hmm
I think Mike Tyson said something that
there's nothing more dangerous than a
happy fighter or something like that. I'm sure
someone will get it right. But that makes
sense. If you can find joy, I mean as
crazy as it sounds, if someone's stabbing
you, but even at that moment, you could
find peace and calm, or joy of still being
alive, and a joy of creating a solution
to this problem, as opposed to
feeling like a loser, and feel like
you're getting killed, and scared, and
just withdrawing, you know you still may
die, but at least you're gonna go out
swinging with a positive, creative-- like,
hey, I'm still fighting. Instead of saying,
Oh, crap." Does that make sense? <Yeah.
completely.
So,you may not be laughing when
you actually fight, but you can also
accept what's happening to you
so you don't get upset
over it, which creates a lot of tension.
<So, I'm not just relaxing
physically, but relaxing psychologically.
<Psychologically. Whatever happens is okay.
If you can't accept that, then you don't
get as much tension coming up in you.
<Beautiful. that's hopefully right and
then you can retain your pop because the
power is already within you within me
it's a matter of how you let it up but
your own tension is keeping you there
keeping it there inside yes sir
so it's a matter of you know relax and
how you learn it out so all these
emotions all this negatively charged
emotions work against you by
creating tension you and take your Paulo
away pretty good yeah laughs more hit
harder that's it
happy hit happy hits Wow
so I got more than I bargained for today
I thought you're just gonna tell us to
keep the wrist straight and stay cool
stay relaxed but you gave us a lot to
think about here and I hope that the
people who make it to the end of this
video you should get a piece of pie for
that but hopefully you got a lot more
Menamy, if somebody wants to keep up with
you and what you're doing, where can they go?
<You can go to Systema Los Angeles.com
and you can find more
information there. And you know,
I'm also teaching at The Academy here, so
you can find me here. <All right. So,
come on out, make a weekend of it, stay
forever, whatever you like.
Thank you very much, sir, one more time.
<Thank you. <Yeah, absolutely. And until next
time, my friends, keep smiling and keep
fighting for a happy life.
