You can tell this man has dedicated his life to studying various martial arts and put them all together for his students in a nice concise way! Great job and much respect!

That's the best drilldown I've seen so far

Kevin is the definition of real modern systema. I basically think Kevin is my teacher online. Systema is really good for daily exercises of spirit mind and body.

Thank you for the video. It is the first time I have seen how to do Full Nelson right. 👍

I actually used this once to restrain my autistic cousin who was trying to break my bathroom window. I learned it from watching WWE. I knew it as the "Master Lock" back then.

Could you do a video on how to escape a rear bear hug with the arms trapped and with the arms free?

Will you show us how to escape someone pushing you against the wall? I´d be looking forward to this.

Awsome ecapes. I know of one more. You are locked in a full nelson and you elbow down on his arms around his bicebs/elbows area (roughly) like you showed here and lower your self a bit on purpose and push a little. Immediately after make your self as tall as you can and stretch both of your arms strait up in the air and sit strait down on your buttocks on the floor while your arms stay up durring the sit down. At this point you are allready free. You can do followups from there.

The downward double elbowstrike on each of his arms is NOT meant to break the grib behind your neck. It's to loosen it and make him try to adjust uppwards towards his grib as a help to your next move + it's also a distraction when you raise yourself up to your tallest point after the strikes. This looks like you are going to strike again with a bigger move, but this time you drop strait down between his arms like a snake while simultaniously both of your arms is up in the air. Perhaps lift his elows a little with your shoulders too to make more space on the raise.

You often end up sitting down on the floor between his feet or on his feet. You can grab to pin both of his feet/heals on the ground around outside of his legs and push backwards with your back/shoulders on one or both of his knees and he will fall on his buttocks as well. From here, turn around and strike his groin and climb over his guard or get away fx. Lot's of options from there of your choice.
We went for the crouch then stomach and then face in a rather specefic combo type thing in our training.
This was tricky to describe so I hope it makes sense :D.

If you have large strong Lats from body building you can flex your lats and break the full Nelson lock.

Maybe a stupid question, but when is this technique ever used? I´ve never, ever seen it in any real-life fight. People usually just strike someone from behind or apply a choke. In rare cases, they hug you while your arms are still down. Heck, I´ve seen more real-life German suplex in street fights than Nelsons (most didn´t look pretty, but surprisingly some of them were at least very effective).
The only scenario I could think of is a bouncer trying to strongarm someone out, but even then I doubt that this is the best choice, though I have not much of an idea how bouncers operate...

or you could reach up and grab a finger.
works every time.
when something really happens all this bs will go right out the window.
