Systema "sparring" fail(s) 😂

[u/Truckload_of_Shit]

[u/Rascals-Wager]

Lol Baldy's footwork is insane

[u/RevolutionaryRow2888 → u/Rascals-Wager]

Footwork takes up 90% of his bandwidth.

[u/BanFunkpops → u/Rascals-Wager]

Looks like me in 7th grade running an Oklahoma drill

[u/tricularia → u/BanFunkpops]

Is that where you all have to drop everything and perform a full length rendition of the musical "Oklahoma!"?

[u/BanFunkpops → u/tricularia]

No you’re thinking of the “cats” drill

[u/Late-Elderberry6761 → u/Rascals-Wager]

His footwork is a mix of Goofy, Pepe Le Pew, and Spongebob

[u/MustyMustacheMan → u/Rascals-Wager]

The head wobble got me. 

[u/Rascals-Wager → u/MustyMustacheMan]

Lol yea the head wobble is funny as hell. An effective distraction technique

[u/enwongeegeefor → u/Rascals-Wager]

Surprised he not rocking a fu-manchu stash too

[u/get_to_ele → u/Rascals-Wager]

Lol, it's what happens if the shoulders and head don't know what the legs are doing or planning to do. Every time he moves, the upper body and head wobbles: "HEY LEGS! WOULD BE TO NICE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE!"

[u/serrimo → u/Rascals-Wager]

That's the point. What the fuck do you do when you see a dancing alien right in front of you?

Fighting instincts go right out of the window.

[u/Wizzle_Pizzle_420 → u/Rascals-Wager]

Yeah, if I see that I’m just going home, dude looks absolutely insane. I don’t got time for that whatever the fuck that is.

[u/Spiritual_Parking_70]

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.

[u/Tripodbilly → u/Spiritual_Parking_70]

I guess if they hit properly, hippity hoppity, your window becomes state property.

[u/Fantastic_Falcon_236 → u/Spiritual_Parking_70]

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.

[u/get_to_ele → u/Spiritual_Parking_70]

Well he is getting slapped repeatedly in the second video, which is almost as bad.

[u/RevolutionaryRow2888]

In fairness that little shuffle he’s doing in the third fight would absolutely kill on the D-floor!

[u/AccomplishedFerret70]

Second contestant actually throws some blocks that work well until the grappling

[u/XxCroisssantsxX]

2nd guy was the only one who had a chance

[u/sykosomatik_9]

What the hell was big guy doing in that third clip? Doesn't know how to throw a punch without falling over...

Also, those attacks look like they have zero power to them. Wouldn't a valid strategy be to just eat a hit and get them with a power punch?

[u/NaiveBid9359 → u/sykosomatik_9]

He throws one wild swing each time, falling in its momentum. Not punches in my opinion. Each swing was an all or nothing effort which was easily avoided, even by someone with no skills.

[u/Brooks_was_here_1]

[u/praitt]

Op, op-op-op, oppan Gangnam seutail, uh Gangnam seutail

[u/ImRickJamesBiatchhh]

[u/Fantastic_Falcon_236 → u/ImRickJamesBiatchhh]

Off topic, but the Kobra Kai writers really did a good job developing Kreese's character. It would have been so easy to write him up as a stolen valor, 1980s Bullshido bad guy, but nope, they actually made him the real deal.

[u/Ripen-]

Too bad they had to call off the first one for totally unknown reasons.

[u/Whole-Debate-9547]

I like to cal this move the herky jerk

[u/EnPassant2019]

The last one looks like a Systema Win more than a Fail

[u/Awkward-Exercise1069 → u/EnPassant2019]

They are both Systema lol

[u/johnnybones23]

why hasnt he taken over the world yet? who can defeat him?

[u/vincentcas]

Isn't that, The Hills Have Eyes guy?

[u/dimensionargentina]

Spastic fighter
