Kwan Lee: SYSTEMA & Mastering Fear

Here is an excellent explanatory video of Kwan Lee on the background work of Systema: our own fears.

If this work is not always "measurable" (and therefore more rewarding) by external physical or technical capacities that make our progress visible and understandable / evaluable (more strength, flexibility, speed ...), internal work of understanding and accepting our weaknesses allows us to reveal our strengths, with humility, to become more calm and conscious, to finally separate ourselves from the superfluous in our practice, and our being ...

Kwan defines the combatant by taking the metaphor of "Gray Man", a passe-partout, incognito, which does not show itself when it is not necessary and which therefore remains elusive enough not to be manipulable, in the mental sense, and by extension to the physical sense, in the confrontation.

This state of "neutrality", which no longer seeks to demonstrate, prove, but just to act in a "professional" way (no more, no less), requires a work on its fears and the anger associated with it , to understand how to act fairly, without being visible (and too involved) emotionally and therefore physically. It is a central and primordial notion on the road to our fulfillment; and this obviously does not have any repercussions in the field of combat.

Thanks to Kwan Lee for sharing his vision.
