Exploring the Timing of Suggestive Blows in Sambo, Aiki-Jujutsu, and Systema
Hello, everyone practicing Systema.
This is Hypnosis Creator Tamura.
Today, I want to talk about the timing of “suggestive blows” that can be learned from Systema videos. This topic focuses not only on the physical act of striking but also on the connection between mind and body and the deep techniques that utilize suggestion.
What is a Suggestive Blow?
A suggestive blow is a technique that influences the opponent psychologically and physically without using words. This method is a part of nonverbal hypnosis, working on the opponent’s subconscious to create changes in their body movements and mental state. In martial arts like Systema, Sambo, and Aiki-Jujutsu, the timing of these suggestive blows is crucial.
Timing of Suggestive Blows in Systema
By carefully observing Systema videos, you can see several common factors in the timing of suggestive blows. Strikes in Systema are not just about applying physical force; it is essential to “flow energy.” By flowing energy, you can influence the opponent’s body internally and elicit a reaction.
For example, the opponent’s physical state is recognized through micro-vibrations, a technique called the “Russian synchronization technique.” By using this method, it is possible to discern the opponent’s subconscious reactions and deliver strikes at the optimal timing. This sequence is the essence of a “suggestive blow,” transcending mere physical techniques and becoming an advanced psychological skill.

Hypnotic Cafe’s Approach
At Hypnotic Cafe, which I host, we study how to apply nonverbal hypnosis to martial arts and daily life. Nonverbal hypnosis helps tap into the unconscious mind, inducing deep relaxation and a focused state, allowing for more effective learning and practice.
Those who have attended our seminars likely understand the importance of timing. The key to a successful suggestive blow is accurately understanding the opponent’s state and taking action at the appropriate moment. This “appropriate moment” can only be mastered through experience but is honed through proper practice methods and feedback.
The Connection Between Nonverbal Hypnosis and Martial Arts
Mastering suggestive blows enables one to develop skills that go beyond the realm of martial arts. For instance, it can also be useful in daily communication. The ability to observe the opponent’s state and respond appropriately is highly valuable in work and interpersonal relationships.
Furthermore, techniques utilizing nonverbal hypnosis involve not only physical skills but also deeply engage with the psychological state of the opponent. This allows for the realization of beautiful techniques that harmonize the mind and body rather than relying solely on brute force.

Moving Toward Practice
If you are interested in Systema, Sambo, or Aiki-Jujutsu, I encourage you to focus on the timing of suggestive blows. To do so, consider the following points:
- Observe subtle reactions in your opponent: Pay attention to breathing and physical tension.
- Maintain your own relaxation: A tense state makes it difficult to accurately grasp the opponent’s condition.
- Be mindful of the flow of energy: Utilize inner awareness, not just physical movements.
By focusing on these points, you can further refine your skills in suggestive blows.
Conclusion
Suggestive blows in Systema are not merely techniques but tools that enable deep communication with your opponent. Combining them with nonverbal hypnosis expands their potential even further. Take this opportunity to explore the timing of suggestive blows and improve your skills.
At Hypnotic Cafe, we will continue to research and share such topics with everyone.
