More george pogacich please. Not only is he a martial arts genius but his videos on bruce lee and sonny chiba were some of your best in my opinion. And i dont even do systema but i can recognise a master.
Hell yeah! George Pogacich does GREAT systema. I've trained with his teacher and some other new generation star pupils - systema is awesome.
This interview reminds me of the movie Red Belt. A MARTIAL ARTIST getting a chance to work in the industry; only to have problems with the producers and politicians.

Hello, Viking Samurai. Just wanted to say, congratulations on the 40k subs. You deserve every single fan you have. If I ever meet you, I'll be sure to shake your hand, for putting out such good content. TERRANCE OUT
Fun fact Martin Wheeler a major systema instructor worked on the double with Richard Gere... it featured a small bit of systema due to the Russian influence of the story.
I would've liked to have seen this movie, it sounds like it could've been a pretty original concept.
There's a Sammo Hung movie called The Bodyguard where he stars as an aging former bodyguard to Chinese politicians, he uses some Systema in the fight scenes in that film....it's more of a drama film though but seeing him do Systema was pretty cool in the few fight scenes in that film
George Pogacich is a really interesting guest and I would love to the that Systema movie. It sounds really cool. Fascinating video Viking!!👌👍
I always wanted to see Martin Wheeler (Vladimir Vasielev Certified Instructor) do a systema flick. He also has that cool UK accent, and his fighting style is so fluid and smooth. I have his instructional DVD. I thought systema would pick up where Seagal left off with his aikido.
Hey.... that my garage (aka martial arts studio) I remember that day. We were training as usual when I think someone comes to my front door. Very cool George. And yes please..... more of George.
Awesome interview With George S Pagachich Systema I love Systema. I also love the Interviews with Dan Theodore. God bless I trained Greco Roman Wrestling, Sambo, Tangsoodo & Systema. God bless 🙏🥋
I believe that Bucky “The Winter Soldier” used Systema or at least it’s believed he does considering he’s a Russian agent as is Black Widow.
Always here for it
I'd definitely like to see this movie made!!! Systema enthusiast, student, and practice partner here!
That would've been a interesting movie to watch. Pretty crazy fight scenes no doubt.
Definitely want to see this movie or a movie that can really showcase systema. I know supposedly the Winter Soldier does lot of systema in Captain America Winter Soldier fight scenes
Great interview and great stories VS. Like the most of us here I would love to see that kind of movie. Indeed like Pogacich said, something between Taken and Bourne Identity. Realistic but powerful. Sign me in!!
I would want to see the Karate Kid version of Systema. One kid takes out a school full of bullies.
I watched double impact today, and i always wondered how the bolo fight would of gone if alex took bolo on. Yes yes i know van damme is playing the same characters, but alex is stronger than chad,
He is a master. And yes I would love to see that jimmy six movie made!!! I took a couple lessons from George awhile back so I know him personally even before I took lessons
Another great one.
Stallone said that This up coming Expendables is his last and Jason is taking over. Scott Adkins said that Jason is a Amazing martial arts.
THIS Is AWESOME!!!!
Really fascinated by this guy, would love to learn from him as well as talk music with him, looking at his channel he likes some good stuff like Kings X.
Yeah, I would watch that Systema movie.
Yes, make this film happen!
I've studied systema for 13 years and absolutely love the art. A movie would be amazing.

Did you have a martial arts background before commencing systema?

Would be an amazing martial art for cinema. Its also a good name for a movie "Systema".
This could've been really cool!
I would love to see Jason Statham in, like a real fight, but on the ring and stuff, just like other popular action stars, like JCVD himself. Cause, they are amazing on big screen, but are they capable of the same stuff in real fight? So yeah, would have been amazing to see that. p.s - By the way, Systema is crazy. I saw like few videos and i can't even understand what's happening. It is so fast that i can't even follow it. And after watching a video, i was too dizzy, that is how fast it is, thus crazy.

Everyone of them would get the ever living shit beat out of them by real fighters! It doesn’t mean that they can’t fight… it’s just reality. When someone spends their whole day doing nothing but fighting to eat… it’s amazing the fascination people have with actors who happen to know martial arts…..
interesting
I discovered systema on deadliest warrior spetnaz vs green berets and just ordered dvds about it a.d used several techniques to surprise my partners in jujitsu. Everything old becomes new again. Just ask anyone koed with a spin wheel kick. Ufc and mma in general said for years karate and kung-fu was in effective because they were tapped out the same as boxers and kickboxers now they're holding meetings and viewer consensus that kung-fu and karate techniques like side kicks to the knee should be outlawed or not.
I would love to see Systema on the Big Screen high budget film I do enjoy some of what I have seen from some big names in the filed of study.
make Jimmy 6
Why not have a Systema movie with someone that is meant to be in Alpha or Vympel, perhaps an instructor in the federation era of Russia. Something goes wrong during the reform of the country along the lines of someone that was meant to be put in prison or exiled but was a snake in the grass and still trusted in elite circles. An escalation in collaboration between domestic organised crime and radical Islamic terrorists could work.
IN...I WARNED U BRO IN MY CALLOUT OF Scott Adkins vid that Statham is pretty legit! Vin Diesel was doing Jiujitsu in late 90s and bouncing and few know that too. I worry for both DJ and Yourself if those fights ever happen! :)

@@VikingSamurai so....does Stathams jiujitsu skills worry u then or do u figure kicking is equel and ur Krav Maga can neutralize his jiujitsu when u fight to the death???
Again! How are you not talking about Bloodsport-Rematch of Lies?
Its a multiverse rodecker...who remembers that accent from the one..Jason stathams
I trained with George in royal oak Michigan.
Now they have the witch Gretchen Whitmer as the governor of Michigan, whose far worse. Damn, too bad they don't know how to vote good ones in office. But that aside I hope that movie does get off it's feet one day. I would love to see a movie about systema.
Viking man, are you getting more and more stoned as you do these interviews haha?

I'd kinda written Systema off years ago as nonsense, without ever actually attending any training. I watched some super, super, dodgy videos of a very fat bloke leading his cringy flopper students through some throws and disarm techniques and some Chi power bullshit, and was under the impression THAT was systema. It looked like lazy krav maga with invisible energy bolts. Recently though, I've heard "systema" mentioned quite respectfully by serious MMA guys and sports media and commentary. I even recall someone recently saying (on here or in real life, it's all a fkn blur 🤣) that the US Secret Service train in systema. Have I entered an alternate universe, or is systema actually legit. OR, is it both - is systema a bit broader than I thought and has different schools of varying quality?
I got unsubscribed for some reason.

That's weird. Hope you sub again!
Systema (a.k.a. Bullshitsu) contains some alright stuff and some absurd impractical stuff - you can see numerous examples of the absurd impractical stuff on here. Are special forces elite soldiers in Russia using Systema (that you see taught by Mikhail Ryabko, Vladimir Vasiliev, etc)? I'm not sure but I doubt it! Just as elite Special Forces in Israel are not using Krav Maga, and certainly not the civilian nonsense (with plucking defence of chokes, etc). Go look at videos of Ryabko demonstrating punches and comical reactions from the people on the receiving end, now if that nonsense actually worked then get in the UFC and earn some money by knocking out everyone. Jason Statham looks quite good in films even though he is not a great martial artist, he obviously trains and good choreographers help.
