A light touch can cause the opponent to collapse!
The fundamental principle of Systema is: **"Healthy warriors overwhelm unhealthy warriors."**
From the perspective of "breaking" (崩し), this can be interpreted as:
**"Those who are tense and have lost their balance depend stably on those who are balanced."**

This DVD provides a detailed explanation of the secrets of Systema-style breaking techniques, including the mysterious techniques Mikael, the founder of Systema, is known for—such as causing the opponent to collapse with just a light touch.
