Thanks for the feedback, though I figured there'd be a bit more with this many views...Guess I'll just post more clips as they come to me
I think it may be a case of people not quite understanding what it is thats happening.
I have clips of myself being "walked around" the mat by Gleason sensei and upon showing them, I'm usually told that I'm faking/not trying or that they don't see whats happening. The fact is (much as I suspect in the above clip), being worked in a way where your body is "tricked" into thinking it can win, often looks extremely odd to what most people expect to see in a martial arts demonstration.

I know its systema, but it looks so much like aikido its frightening.

Cheers,

steve
