Brian, where are the private messages!?!? They have changed everything on me... Argh!!! I really don't know if I will have the energy or attention...
I think somewhere in the last 2 decades Systema has become a term that is in a way as ubiquitous as "Kung Fu". And at this point is probably not...
Hey Brian! Thanks. I tried to get myself active again on E-budo last year.. but then weird life stuff happened, and then I forgot about it. Until...
I am horrible about this... but I just found my login creddentials and I am going to try to get myself to start checking in here again every once...

I'd just like to second EricH's thoughts. Manny is an excellent practitioner and teacher. He's a great resource, IMO. Arthur
Hey Eric! >hey Arthur... wassup! This and that man... this and that. Shoot me a PM and tell me how the "baby" is doing, etc. >Is this the...
Wow! I didn't know the Tae Kwon Do guys started dressing in Russian shirts. Cool! ;-) Arthur
Sambo (Sombo is PC rewriting of the word so as to not offend overly sensitive people who are incapable of thinking) and BJJ/GracieJJ are direct...
For those that don't know... Furtry was actually an official alternate for the Canadian Olympic Wrestling Team. He has a plethora of experience in...
Its basic Shotokan derived Karate (which Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do are part of). It has nothing to do with Russian Martial arts. Arthur
Frank, My mail box on this forum is screwed up... so I won't get a reply... and this may not go out... but thanks for the nice words. Email me...
In Karate context... Nahanchi Shodan. In Judo... Ju No Kata In Xing Yi... Pi Quan In Ba Gua... Single Palm Change etc. Fundemental...
George P. has been practicing Systema longer than anyone that frequents this board. If your in Michigan and into RMA, you'd be making a mistake if...
Eric Said: If memory serves me, it was a mighty fine weekend. Good company, good training, plenty of beer and an "interesting" waitress. Arthur
As long as we are discussing awareness... I'm pretty sure this was already mentioned (since I was the one that mentioned it) but... if you are...
A few thoughts, addendums ,arguements and cooborations on Rob's post. >For any guide of Systema..it really is not the lesson plan...much more the...
>I was wondering if anyone would share what are some of the basic things that you do in pretty much every class (ie, pushups, squats, breath work,...
And a Big Shout Out to you guys too! Arthur (Reengage Cloaking device:) )
At the risk of repeating what's already been said.... there are good and bad points to previous experience. As long as you are willing to let go...
Chicago? Cool, is this a fund raiser seminar for Arkady's family? Arthur
Hard to do since they aren't Systema practitioners. Looks more like folk arts (as already said) and maybe beginner level Borba. Arthur
Actually, that may have been my point. ;-) Say I decide to study CIMA. I find a teacher, and he agrees to teach me. In order to learn from...
I know. I never said qi thingy. I said "internal". Likewise, he specifically said "internal". That is my point and only point on the matter. Arthur
PS A few posts came in while I was typing mine... so I thought I'd throw on an addendum. Furtry Said: Furtry you may have been out of the...
That would be me, and I have a name. Its Arthur, just like my screen name. I quite specifically said "internal" and not "energy". Neither...
See... I was right... without first defining terms, you just end up with a big mess, and conflict that might actually be agreement if terms were...
The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms. Without defining the terms of the discussion, my guess is no one will truly benefit. Arthur
If you understand the art, you'll find everything in there. Systema is "Prego" style (ie "Its in there") I recommend watching the films of...
I just wanted to let everyone know I'm sorry this has been taking FAR longer than I expected. Repairing the damage from the hack was simple...
