Great series of posts....Must have been exciting to be there. If you find out anything more on the Samson type training I'd like to hear about it. The only...
Hi, I looked in an online searchable Bible and didn't find anything, but I didn't do an exhaustive search. Maybe there's a book about Samson that would have...
My friend and I were messing around with trying to figure out the Systema striking method. I know it doesn't come in a couple of days or anything like that....
Well, I'm no expert (I have been training 4 years), but it sounds like you are doing good. That wet smacking noise is a good sign. But I'd try to get a hold of...
A FEW SUGGESTIONS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvIoaWqRsik Work on pushing without tensing up by using your breath as the wave and by letting the movement...

Regarding the DVDs, I think they're all pretty good. I haven't seen them all myself. If you could only have one, I'd say the Hand to Hand is the best choice,...
It is interesting that a lot of people scream at that point in a roller coaster ride as you have described. I have always enjoyed that part at the feeling in...
