Knifework

by Daniil Ryabko

• the son of the legendary Systema Founder, Mikhail Ryabko
• with extensive experience in law enforcement services
• high level international Systema instructor

In this short instructional film, Daniil shows how to disarm and not get cut.

He presents many components of knife handling:

• Application of wristwork
• Dexterity of the hands and fingers
• Aligning the body and the weapon
• Control over the tension and relaxation in the knife hand

Many movements may seem like easy disarms, but this is only because they are done calmly. In fact, they require a lot of power in the hands and a lot of relaxation in the body.
