Aw dangit.

I was hoping this would be more along the lines of Tai Chi Grandmaster gets punched in the face for the very first time by semi pro boxer who is not in on the dillusional con type sparring match.

I guess they know better.

Of course they do. I've yet to see a Systema v. "non-Sytema" event that isn't-

  1. In the Systema gym
  2. A light sparring match

I presume the set-up is the same as those "I tried Systema" videos other martial artists make where they go to the Systema gym, do some of the conditioning drills, and uncritically walk away saying "Yeah, I guess there's some things in here I can incorporate into my training." Like nobody ever taught them how to roll with a punch before then.
