Hello everyone. I was working and a little away from a keyboard. In systema we find stability within movement. Try a few drills to bring this part of you to the surface. Take a staff or a regular broom, the intention of the drill is what matters and hold it so it touches a point…

when working with tools like a sword or a staff mind these things for starters: You are hitting the others and taking their movement into account. you are defending yourself with your movement and than with the tool.
