Moskau 2004, Relaxation and countering grabs
In this video, also from 2004, Mikhail shows how tensions exerted on one's own body by an attacker can be neutralized, for example in the form of grip attacks.
It is important to understand that this is not about "defense", but rather about continuing the attacker's energy and redirecting it sensibly to one's own advantage.
Even the thought of defensive moves creates tension, which the opponent can use to enforce his intentions.
Not allowing this and adapting the opponent's movement without tension is a universal principle of Systema, which should fundamentally determine one's own actions, but can be well demonstrated and understood using the example of simple grip attacks.
