SAMBO / ROSS seminar with Vadim Kolganov at the Dynamo Club Göteborg

The Dynamo Club Göteborg, in collaboration with Systema Norway proudly present:

SAMBO/ROSS seminar with Vadim Kolganov
From Jacket Wrestling To Russian Martial Art
  • Breaking Structure, Affecting the Balance
  • Flowing from takedowns to submissions: ‘quick kills’
Saturday-Sunday April 21st – 22nd 2012, 10.00-16.00  

To register or request additional info contact info@dynamoclub.se

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THROWS/TAKEDOWNS!
Did you know that every single throwing/takedown technique – regardless of the martial art or combat sport it comes from – follows the same set of simple biomechanical rules?

Once you understand these rules, all techniques become one – learning and practicing become incredibly easier (since you know what you might be doing wrong) and practical application of technique becomes automatic.

In the seminar From Jacket Wrestling to Russian Martial Art, Vadim Kolganov, Master of Sport, is going to present and explain:
  • The basic concepts and principles of Breaking Structure and Affecting the Balance, which apply to both sport combat and self-defense throwing techniques.
  • The most effective drills to practice them to perfection.
The second subject of this seminar is ‘Quick Kills’: How to quickly and effortlessly flow from throws/takedowns to finishing techniques, for either sport or self defense applications.

There are no ‘Russian Martial Arts’, there is only one Russian Martial Art! This unique seminar, organized by the Dynamo Club Göteborg, provides you with a great opportunity to link all martial knowledge (whether it comes from SAMBO, ROSS, Systema or any other ‘style’) upon one single thread! 

Have you been thinking of ‘adding SAMBO to your Systema’ for some time now? Well, the time has come!

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Vadim Kolganov is one of the foremost exponents of Russian Martial Art in Europe today. He has earned the rank of Master of Sport in SAMBO after winning the Moscow SAMBO championships twice, has won a bronze medal in the SAMBO World Masters Championships and won the British SAMBO Championships. He is a certified instructor in Alexander Retuinskih’s ROSS system (the Native Russian System of Self-Defense). He teaches and practices the sport of Russian Army Hand-To-Hand Combat (Armeiski Rukopashni Boi), and the traditional wrestling style of Kurash (belt wrestling). He has worked in the Moscow Region Police Force as an inspector of physical education and self-defense. Besides Russian Martial Art, Vadim has also studied Wing Chun, Western Boxing, Jujitsu and American Freestyle Wrestling. He is also a certified kettlebells instructor in the RKC organization.

All martial arts practitioners of any level are welcome to attend to the seminar. No prior knowledge in SAMBO or other style of Russian Martial Art is required. Participants must be at least 18 years old.

Dynamo Concepts Workshops: no questions unanswered!


(se nedan för text på svenska)
The Göteborg Dynamo Club Presents:
Dynamo Concepts Workshops
The Four Cornerstones of Russian Martial Art
February 5th / 12th / 19th / 26th, 12.00 – 15.00

Nowadays, Russian Martial Art is commonly taught as a bunch of ‘novelty drills’ randomly put together, lacking teaching methodology, and often full of mysticism and claims to superhuman abilities – “we do that because the Masters say it is good”. What is lost this way is the true value of this unique approach to combat training: the in-depth study of biomechanics, the development of all-around dexterity and flow in movement, and the emphasis on concepts rather than techniques. At the Göteborg Dynamo Club, training in Russian Martial Art is an organized process, with no questions left unanswered and plenty of room for each practitioner to develop individually, since unlike what is commonly claimed, it is not practice that makes perfect, it is perfect practice that makes perfect!
 The Dynamo Concepts series of workshops will provide you with a solid basis of understanding the answers to some of the most fundamental questions that universally apply to combat:
  • How can I move faster, with more power, with less effort and less fatigue? 
  • How can my strikes be harder, coming from unpredictable angles? 
  • How can I affect an opponent’s structure and balance so that a takedown becomes easier? 
  • How can I use breathing to minimize the negative effects of combat stress?
More importantly, the Dynamo Concepts workshops will present a logically structured series of training drills in order to improve your martial performance, regardless of the style you are practicing! 
 
The subjects of the workshops will be the following:
Workshop 1, Sunday, February 5th: Human movement as a weapon
Workshop 2, Sunday, February 12th: ‘From any position, any strike’
Workshop 3, Sunday, February 19th: Breaking structure and Takedowns
Workshop 4, Sunday, February 26th: Managing Combat Stress

The participants who complete all four workshops will receive certificates of attendance.

For practitioners who are interested in joining the regular classes at the Göteborg Dynamo Club, this series of workshops will provide the necessary entry level training: once you have completed these twelve hours of training, you can become a member and regularly train with us. For more information on the Göteborg Dynamo Club, please visit www.dynamoclub.se

Do not miss the opportunity to understand the logic and method of Russian Martial Art!

Göteborgs Dynamoklubb presenterar:
Dynamo Concepts workshops
Den ryska kampkonstens fyra hörnstenar
5 / 12 / 19 / 26 februari, 12.00 – 15.00

 
Rysk kampkonst lärs ofta ut som en samling spektakulära övningar och tricks, till synes slumpmässigt valda, sällan med en pedagogisk tanke och ofta lastad med mystik och löften om närmast övermänskliga förmågor – ”vi gör som mästaren säger.” I processen förloras något värdefullt från de ryska stilarnas arv och unika approach till kampträning: att på djupet studera biomekanik, att utveckla rörlighet, flyt och kroppslig intelligens i alla riktningar, och emfasen på koncept snarare än färdiga recept och tekniker. På Göteborgs Dynamoklubb tränar vi rysk kampkonst i en strukturerad och utforskande process, med stort utrymme för individuell utveckling, och där inga frågor lämnas obesvarade. Till skillnad från vad man brukar påstå räcker inte den gamla devisen ”övning ger färdighet”. Perfekt övning ger perfektion!

Seminarieserien Dynamo Concepts bygger en solid grund för att besvara några av de mest grundläggande frågorna när det gäller närkamp, och hjälpa dig att lösa problemen:
  • Hur kan jag röra mig snabbare, med större effekt, och med mindre ansträngning och utmattning?
  • Hur blir mina slag tyngre och hårdare, och hur slår jag från oförutsägbara vinklar?
  • Hur kan jag påverka motståndarens struktur och balans, och göra en nedtagning enkel?
  • Hur andas jag för att minimera fightens stresseffekter?
Framförallt ger Dynamo Concepts en strukturerad uppsättning övningar och drillar som ökar din prestationsförmåga, oavsett vilken kampkonst eller stil du tränar.

Under fyra workshops går vi igenom följande ämnen:
Workshop 1, söndagen den 5 februari: Kroppens rörelser som vapen
Workshop 2, söndagen den 12 februari: ”Från alla positioner, alla attacker”
Workshop 3, söndagen den 19 februari: Att bryta strukturen och nedtagningar
Workshop 4, söndagen den 26 februari: Stresshantering i närkamp

Du som fullföljer alla fyra delar kommer att få ett deltagarbevis. För deltagare som är intresserade av att gå på Dynamoklubbens löpande lektioner är Dynamo Concepts ett grundkrav. När du har fullföljt dessa tolv träningstimmar kan du bli medlem och träna med oss på regelbunden basis.

Systema Homo Ludens seminar with Alex Kostic at the Göteborg Dynamo Club

The Dynamo Club - Göteborg is proud to announce: 
Systema Homo Ludens Integral Martial Arts Training Seminar, With Alex Kostic
November 26th & 27th 2011, Göteborg, Sweden
 
The evolution of Russian Martial Art
 
Homo Ludens (The Playing Man) is Alex Kostic’s innovative, holistic approach to martial arts training based on improving the abilities of the body through biomechanical exercise, exploring possibilities in combat through improvisational free play, and testing one’s skills through various full-contact drills. Besides being an effective and realistic training method, Homo Ludens provides the practitioner with a sound philosophical background for combat training, free from dogma and absolutism.

The subject of the seminar will be:
  • biomechanical ground exercises and practical applications
  • biomechanics of kicks and defense against kicks
Alex Kostic is a former senior instructor in Systema Russian Martial Art. He has travelled to Russia in order to expand his knowledge in Slavic fighting arts, where he trained in systems such as Slavyano-Goritskaya Borba, Gruntovski’s fist fighting (Skobar) and A.A. Kadochnikov’s Russian Style. He has trained and shared his insights with a number of MMA fighters, as well as security and law enforcement professionals.
