Quotes from Systema Masters Mikhail Ryabko
If someone attacks you or your family and you already know that you will be fighting – don’t be nervous and don’t add emotional content, just work
Don’t break the person, break their desire to attack you
Provide an illusion that your opponent still has control, but make sure he doesn’t
Those who think they are very strong die first in conflicts
Every person that works with you is your instructor, and those who want to beat you up are your best instructors
Vladimir Vasiliev When you know there will be a fight, start relaxing beforehand; don’t try to fight, just work
Control the situation in such a way that nobody understands how you control it
Remove yourself not just from the line of attack, but from line of opponent’s attention
When you counter on the move, the strikes seem to come out of nowhere
When you hit somebody, remain human
People die from non-lethal wounds, yet don’t die from lethal ones, all depends on whether you mentally give up
Konstantin Komarov Endurance is a psychological phenomenon
Your emotional base controls the situation
The more you discover yourself, the more tension you see in yourself
There are several ways to remove stress, the most important are breathing and movement
The stronger someone grips you, the more you need to relax
People do not die from wounds or impact, they die because they cannot handle psychological effect of the impact
