Karel Cerny, Czech Republic –
Systema is my biggest support. I think mainly of health exercises and massages, because fighting is secondary for me now (at my age), but also important, because when someone comes to work out, they want to compare mainly martial arts. For many years, I competed in karate at a high level, and I devoted myself to many years of self-defense. Therefore, I can compare and really say that Systema is number one not only as a martial art, but as a whole.
Taizo Akiyama, Japan –
In this class, I was able to feel some hard parts of my body that I hadn’t noticed before. One is under the earlobe. The second is the torso, and the third is the tongue. I was finally able to reach my Achilles’ tendon in the movement of reaching one leg forward without bending the knee, bending only the back knee, and reaching for my heel with my hand. It is very difficult to reach without increasing tension in the body, but challenging myself to move without increasing tension is very helpful. I couldn’t control the tension in my legs for the squat movement, but the movements during the class gave me great tips. Thank you very much. The movement of Eric’s student who was wearing a brace on his left leg was very informative. The person beside him gave him a rolled towel to put under the braced knee when they were sitting on the floor. It was very kind. The teamwork of the Toronto HQ team is very good and there is a lot to learn. I’m looking forward to Eric Sensei’s future classes.

I rewatched this film that I got over a year ago. I really enjoyed it again. It helped me to understand pain and how it affects us.
