Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

For the next drill oyu will need a deck of cards or some light piece of paper or small balls. You can do this alone or better in company. First alone: Lie on your back and throw the card up and catch it with the same hand. alternate hands and be carefull to keep the card from folding. You have to relax and move jus fast enough to do this. next lie on your side and throw the card up and catch it and last from the prone position throw the card up roll and catch it. You can also for example hold the card between your toes or between your knees and do this. The only limits are the ones you set. Next with a partner have him drop the card to you or maybe a little further away do you have to roll for it or do it as you are getting up in an exchange drill when you get up and lie down constantly. Remember to breath all the time and to pace yourself. If you focus on winning or getting a far away object in sight than you are not wholely here for the task at hand and that makes little sense.

My thanks for the people who respond and ask questions. When I get whole year done I will catalog this blog and send it to anyone who wants it as a thank you to the systema community. Sharon.
