Thursday Systema
Started with a little strength work to warm up.
Then a whole session of slow pushing. Began with fingers only. The pusher is learning how the other persons body moves when poked. The pushee is completely relaxed, has to absorb and give way to the pressure but onl y the minimum amount, pusher does the work, then return to proper structure. There are some rreeaally good places to put fingers into lol. Then the same using hands, arms, shoulders progressively - pusher experimenting with good nooks and crannies, handles, targets, pressure points, different types of strike, angles, shape of hands, forward and back movements. I can use Uechi elbows, and Laird’s thumb hands to the back of the neck etc. Shoulders was hard for me, good to learn and completely hilarious. Lots of sticking, moving, positioning, shoving - nice when combined with a downward grab to the hand. Pushee just absorbs it all and rights the body back to structure, steps if necessary. Good session.
