I am curious about any feedback you might have on Systema. I know that Rigan Machado shares a gym with Martin Wheeler - https://www.theacademybeverlyhills.com/. There's an old video where he comments about Martin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqa7ToilOAc. Has anyone ever trained there? If so, what did you think?

Do you know this instructor? The website indicates he trained with Rickson. https://www.theacademybeverlyhills.com/instructors/menamy-tsunami-mitanes/
Lets keep each other accountable.
Here is a short segment of some breath work that Professor James walked Premium Members through. My goal is to do the breath of 🔥 everyday. Eventually I would like to build up to 3 sets but my goal to start is only a single one minute round. I'm going to comment done every day after I finish. Please comment done after you finish your breath work.
Lets keep each other accountable.

Weapons
A lone figure in all black with a hood approaches you in a dark alley. He stops 5 feet in front of you. You are unarmed and cornered. Which of these weapons feels the least dangerous to you? Against which weapons would you rather defend yourself.

@James Driskill Yes - the second video that is referenced (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE8IjSRouuU) literally mentions Nate Diaz using an RNC on Connor McGregor (10:38). Some other choking techniques are demonstrated beginning at about 6:21.

Check out this article - https://substack.com/home/post/p-184367494 - I believe it is helpful in articulating the objective of developing connection.
