by Hoy Chan, a highly experienced Systema HQ Toronto instructor, training and teaching with Vladimir Vasiliev since 2007, with a particular expertise in sensitivity work. He has an extensive background in Brazilian Jiujitsu, Silat and Internal Chinese martial arts (chi kung). Hoy is also a national medalist in Shotokan Karate and Shaolin Kung Fu.

In this two-part film, Hoy uncovers how breathing and thoughts are connected and affect one another.

In part one, you will study:
• Internal breathing to build fullness
• External breathing to release and direct fullness
• Circular breathing to empty bad thoughts
• Stretch breathing for directed thoughts

In part two, you will learn to:
• apply the subtleties of stretching, tension, and relaxation within breathing to improve grab-escape and short work
• develop deep sensitivity between physical and non-physical; productive thoughts and imagination

Refine your breathing, empower your thoughts and your combative work!
