In looking at some of the video clips here, I noticed a few times when Vladimir Vasiliev used, or so it seemed to me, the back part of his upper arm for a block. It looked like he was working a natural reaction of shielding the head into a block. Is this indeed a block using the tricep area or is it just too fast for me to see exactly what's what? Most of the other techniques I recognized having seen at one point or another in one martial art or another, though not typically strung together quite like this, but this looked different--though if he's using the forearm it's more reminscent of the FMA's umbrella block, for example.
It was interesting seeing how fluidly he moved. He did another block/slip that started from a shoulder shrug but otherwise reminded me of some FMA techniques--though here I suspect it's a case of "we all see what we know" in situations like this! Hopefully I'll be able to get jaybacca72 to share more Systema with me at the WMAA camp.
