Can fear be controlled?
Yes. Through breathing and muscle tensing.
Wrong breathing can escalate your fear into panic, it can cut off your awareness and paralyze your movements.
Proper breathing can remove fear from your body, your mind and your psyche. It can make you a calm, efficient fighter, and a strong, healthy person.
Systema head instructor, Vladimir Vasiliev, explains how to use inhales, exhales, and breath holds through various patterns, speeds, and depths to achieve outstanding results in real confrontations and in everyday scenarios.
The topics of this film include:
• Breath-fear dynamics
• Causes of breath holds
• Light breathing
• Full breathing
• Locating tension
• Burst breathing
• Breath and muscle tensing
• Imaginary fears
• Contact and pain
• Weapons threat
Breathing is your most powerful tool to control fear.
Learn how to apply it.

This is a Masterpiece from Vladimir! I can recommend every DVD from Vladimir but this one is absolutely amazing. If you are interested in Controlling your Psyche and your fear you need this!
I’m Training Martial Arts know for over 20 years but since i started to practice Systema I started to see and feel how important proper breathing is, not only in Training, in your daily Life.
