Systema training

One of the most common questions ever asked by a systema trainee is how do i train? How long? how many reps? etc. I have found through training for a few years now, that those thins do not matter.
Here's what does:

• Fun - training should be enjoyable eg - overcome fears, strengthen weaknesses, Play, explore and discover
  
• Simple - Do not try to make your training complex, just keep it simple, do not have too many rules or any set structures
• Train intuitively - Train by how you feel, you will know how much you can do and for how long. Just remember these key ideas: do not feel sorry for yourself, and try to overcome your own fears, doubts and delusions.
• Foundation is breathing - Make sure that breathing is the foundation, by which you base all exercises on. By doing this you will learn how to breath into the whole body or certain parts, to give yourself more endurance or energy and affect the levels of tension or relaxation depending on the task at hand.
• Keep it short - Konstantin komarov has said that if you can train more than 30 mins on your own then you are doing something wrong. I think this piece of advice is important and training in a group should always be emphasized over solo training. I personally train for about 45 mins to an 1 hour depending on how i feel.
• Use accelerated methods - Once you get used to certain drills, you should always challenge yourself more, each time you do them, for example: Once you can do a basic push up with a good deal of relaxation, wear a blindfold or hold a stick in your fists while you do them, or do them with one side of your body touching a wall.
• Change the level of intensity depending on feeling - It is important to ensure your body is always growing, learning and adapting. In order for it to do this you should present it with new stimulus's, in the form of changes in the levels of intensity.
  

Above all
enjoy your life
