This is what I liked about Systema Excellence. Its very serious content, makes you think and look at martial arts in a new way.
Mike Floyd –
Just a great movie! Thanks for the huge amount of information.
Major Konstantin Komarov –
This is what impressed me in Mikhail Ryabko’s STEALTH STRIKING.
Simplicity and originality of approach to short and invisible strikes.
We are so used to standard thinking. With punches, we expect visible application of force. While Mikhail showed work that is so fine and subtle psychologically, subtle to such an extend that until it is explained it cannot be grasped.
I tried this work myself at the recent seminar in Kiev and I was easily able to apply this unique approach. Moreover, all serious Systema practitioners at the seminar were very successful at implementing it. No studying of complicated patterns or memorization was required, it was more like some routine understanding had to flip in the mind and it became clear how to strike this way.

Having participated in the Systema Excellence Seminar, watching the first part of the video, Stealth Striking by Mikhail Ryabko, unabled me to review and appreciate the depth of information transmited by the Teacher in an open, humane, and healthy way.
Of course to be in his presence is a little more intimidating than watching the video, Even with his jovial humor and modesty, one can feel the tremenous power of this Teacher. Mikhail’s insight shared in this video if studied in depth, gives enough information to create a whole Martial Art. I`m looking foward to watching the second part of this film, Internal Control by Konstantin Komarov.
With respect and gratitude,
Antonio Lampreia

The Secret of the True Warrior
Written for Mikhail Ryabko
The true warrior allows others to shine
And he himself is enlightened
The true warrior gives and restores
And he himself is made full
The true warrior shares of his knowledge
And he himself finds brothers and sisters along the sacred way
Yes
The true warrior knows that all arts are to be taught for spiritual wisdom
And they are to be shared so that others may understand the higher way upon the sacred Path of life
Because the true warrior is a spiritual warrior
He knows that all people are but mirrors of himself
He knows that the greatest struggle is within his own heart
He knows that the greatest ignorance is within his own mind
He knows that the greatest victory is not achieved in defeating another through combat
But from overcoming the illusion that there is a difference between us at all
For he knows there is certain point
The center of all centers
Where ALL paths and art merge into one
And this is the true warriors greatest secret
In a single breath
He Understands
That ALL opposites
Are ONE
And
The SAME

“Each DVD is an ongoing conversation between teacher and student, each teaching progresses all other teachings” says Mikhail at the end of his session. When you watch and listen to Mikhail Ryabko and Konstantin Komarov talking to each of us about the nature of Systema, you will look at your work and all the other DVDs you watch with greater insight.
Mikhail will show you correct distance for Stealth Striking, determined by how tension grows in the opponent. This is the beginning of becoming accountable as you work with someone else. Mikhail’s methods address your mental attitude while you form a punch and how your movement through space will either signal to the opponent that you are coming, or catch him unaware. Stealth strikes are not trick punches, but the sleight of hand that comes from understanding what not to do, and how to veil your work in normalcy and stillness.
Mikhail demonstrates many approaches to striking. He shows typical errors and how the opponent reacts defensively, and then, how to do it right. He raises his fist and asks, “Am I irritating you?” the evidence of which is obvious in his opponent’s body language. Mikhail doesn’t dwell on any technique, rather, he shows a process and from there many variations would be possible.
I was moved by the way he meets the admiration of his students with a sincere humility. “The rumors of my mastery are greatly exaggerated”, he says with a smile and a laugh, after which he apologizes for any mistakes he might have made. Brilliant and down to earth are very compelling characteristics in a teacher, but this is also how he teaches us to practice Systema.
Konstantin follows Mikhail with a narrative on Internal Control that looks deeply into the process of being a Systema practitioner and how to be accountable to yourself for the state of your body and mind, both on and off the practice floor. Konstantin addresses the way in which a Systema practitioner deliberately flexes his psyche by exploring both fear and pain. He uncovers how pain grows in ones imagination as fear and how to work towards cleaning these illusions away through the process of taking strikes. “We get rid of our baggage. Systema is freedom”
Konstantin explains how Systema has no database of moves or positions like many martial arts. “The psyche loves details and tricks and it fragments the whole.” Systema practice is continuous movement, whereby a practitioner sifts for the feeling of moving correctly and painstakingly builds the somatic memory of that state in each new situation. He encourages us to exploit every partner in the room and to account for all challenges we encounter as our own. “In Systema, we move towards a state of wholeness everyday.”
Konstantin would have us appreciate working through the basics in Systema, as the process through which we come to examine all of our restrictive patterns and limitations, both physical and psychological. He said something quite beautiful to me at the seminar in answer to a personal question about slow push-ups. He said, “The body is a lens through which you are now looking at yourself. Systema practices increase the focus.”
Konstantin sums his reflections up by describing the learning spiral of Systema being helical, ever spiraling upward, crossing the same point on the circle of learning in new higher and sometimes extraordinary ways. “It all begins with the decision to do Systema, but then one has to decide again and again”. Just decide to study this DVD and I guarantee you’l watch it again and again.

Truth – When Less Is More Than Enough
Written For & Inspired By: Mikhail Ryabko
Many believe they need more and more and more to succeed in life
And in combat
But truly…
Having all the answers is not enough
One must apply the solutions
Knowing all the techniques is not enough
One must understand the inner movements
Seeking the right path is not enough
One must become that which they seek
In the mirror of truth there is an illusion of reflection
The real opponent to truth hides within
Therefore,
When you see the question contains the answer
When you see the path leads only back to your self
When you are able to learn from the essence of your own self
You will seek less and less and less
And
You will Understand the Great Mystery
You will grasp the way of the true masters
And then
Your successes will be simple
Because
Less will be more
Than enough
