As always Ryo shows amazing skills and humility at the same time. What I found on this video is his ability to demonstrate clearly what he is explaining and even through the screen you can feel the power behind every movement.
I recommend this film to everyone who are interested to increase their skills in any part of their jouŕney into Systema and life.

Thank you Ryo and Toronto hq for making this

What I appreciate most from this video right now
How to connect the body and avoid localized tension through extremity oriented stretching and movement.
How and where to generate power in order to affect your partners body without fighting them.
Clear and convincing demonstrations
A truly important reminder of what systema is supposed to be.
Thanks again for sharing this knowledge.

Another great video featuring Ryo, who not only has remarkable martial skills, but just as importantly, the ability to explain his methods in a clear and concise manner.
His teachings from this video has emphasised on a number of key aspects to improve one’s striking ability, as well as provide very good understanding on how proper relaxation can generate functional power.
Watching Ryo’s videos are just the tip of the iceberg. One should attend his seminars or head to his classes in Osaka to experience his remarkable Systema abilities!

Awesome teachings! Love all the drills! Ryo showed how the body can relax in the mind, shoulders and torso to reduce tension for the body to move freely. Thank you Ryo and Toronto HQ for making and sharing this video.

Very generous with broken-down and slower working demonstrations of difficult ideas. The solo exercises in the beginning also seem to show a lot more importance after going through the whole video.
Helpful as a reference for his teachings in Osaka too.
