Russian PK Self-Defense

[I Am]

I know that PK is real, and supposedly this DVD by the legendary Mikhail Ryabko teaches PK techniques, and how to apply them for self-defense.

Only 50.00, if it works not bad IMO, have any of you guys ever heard of this.  I was doing research on Russian martial arts because an aikido friend of mine switched from aikido for 7 years, to russian martial arts called Systema.

He says it's as fluid and lethal as real Tai Chi, but is simpler to learn.

Hi

The video sounds like a scam but i might be wrong

As for the systema it is an awsome martial art i am taking it now. I am not sure how it compares to Tai Chi since i have never taken it but systema is very powerful once you learn how to breath and to move correctly. It mainly revolves around subtle body movements that gives you power behind your strikes and take downs

It is not similar to tai chi in it's outwards manifestation, as far as technique.  But in it's essence they are one and the same.  To use passive force to overcome the opponent.

To be in complete balance with your self and your opponent, until the disharmony has be harmonized, I guess a philosophical way of saying until you beat him.

Tai chi and the other internal styles use breathing and soft fluid movement as a way of redirecting and neutralizing the opponents energy, same as in the systema.

I have never really studied tai chi, but have seen it applied, and it is quite efficient once the flow is learned correctly, they don't call it supreme ultimate boxing for nothing.

This website shows some of the basic applications of tai chi, it is simple, fluid and powerful like the systema, but requires much practice as far as breath and bio-mechanics to master it.
