The point of the training is to teach you the technique so you can keep a clear mind and your body can react on impulse and instinct rather than being slowed by a mind clouded with fear or anger. The more calm you are, the more alert you are and the faster you can react to a situation. This is what the training is for.
Then some freestyle sparring to show the practicality of the techniques shouldn't be a problem. I don't know why he couldn't just say that they train traditional drills and also do freestyle sparring with attacks that are more likely to happen in reality, like "sewing machine" attacks, rather than someone just using the same knife work you do. And to answer his remark about not having realistic training with guns, that's what stuff like paintball is good for.
@@Fardawg paintball is def not good for training. Airsoft would be much better suited. Paintball you do a lot of things you would never consider doing and the range, ball lob and marker system is just to different, minus a few markers like the dye dam. Airsoft you can get exact replicas of whatever firearm you wish and they have a lot more range. Even better is to go to a sim-round place and do that.
@@Fardawg He may not have said they do freestyle sparring but he did say when they train military and le it's a different story. They train for actual realistic scenarios. This video wasn't meant to be a martial arts ad to encourage us. It's actually titled "unrealistic" 🤣. To see some freestyle sparring with a knife (which isn't practical really) you'd have to watch a video that focuses on that wouldn't you? Lol And what he meant by unrealistic paper target training wasn't that the training specifically isn't realistic but by comparison it's no more or less realistic than their knife training. He was only giving an analogy. BUT they actually do live firearm training with blank cartridges in realistic scenarios. It's literally military and le training. There is no true realistic knife training. It's called "don't get into a knife fight" but if you happen to and can't get away here's something you can attempt to do because even if it fails to work you at least have a chance to make it. Flailing your hands in defense is better than just accepting being a walking pincushion.
There’s nothing “unrealistic” about learning control, timing and your weapon of choice. Although a knife fight could probably get a little wild… Learning about what you can do in each situation is never a bad thing.
muscle memory. enough training and your body will react on it's own and know what to do. thats why i can type with out looking at my key board because my arms and fingers know where the keys are at.
There is actually, if you control yourself in a unrealistic manor then that's how you'll conduct yourself in a realistic uncontrolled situation. I've been in both situations where I trained controlleder then realized I lacked the understanding of raw violence and 'striking out of anger.' I've been punched in the face due to too much control. So I diversified my training from Arnis/jujutsu/judo and began Muay Thai. When you get in the ring with another 200lb man that wants to hurt you, all that control is useless without understanding what truly works at full speed contact. Timing and effect are entirely different. Outside of the ring, it's a lot easier application as I didn't have to worry about ring rules, just laws and appropriate escalation. The gun reference and paper targets is bs as there's adequate training through sim ammunition and lasers.
"And the whole point here is, is it real? Guys, none of this is real! This is training, this is enjoying the art form" The man couldn't have been more honest. I respect that!
Relex drills do in time become actual combat drills when you do it for long time. 5 to 7 years with 2 hours or more a day. At some point your going to want a gun, a spear or a long blade then all this becomes just fun. There is only strategy. There is no such thing as Martial Arts. Being empty handed is not where you want to be in Modern Warfare. Use what the Law allows and be very careful about this ego business as not realistic. Training is simulation and not actual combat. Train as hard you can to get as close to realism as you can, BUT in reality the knife comes out of nowhere with you carrying a bag of Groceries and you are deceased. You can prepare for many things but the idea is not to go quetly and without a struggle and get a chance at survival. Train in everything and get to be expert at them and you still become a slab of meat! No arguments needed and Doug knows this because you will most likely NEVER see it coming!
Kali saved my life. So how is it unrealistic? I was being robbed with a knife but I didn't have anything on me because I was just running. He didn't believe me and tried attacking me. I defended myself and he dropped the knife. I was cut on my arm pretty deep but better than my heart or neck. It says in your description that we practice till it's basically muscle memory that half true but we also train with training knives and paint the edges (or use sharpies) and train in real time. The only thing that is unrealistic is trying to prove another martial arts is not useful.
taylorkalister, yes indeed! I look at martial arts this way, the martial art itself is nothing. A Martial artist is what makes it practical and realistic, for instance let's think of a gun, the gun is the martial art, and martial artist is the gunman. Let's say the gun is sitting on a table, it's not doing anything, because nobody is using it, now let's say somebody picks the gun up and shoots somebody accidentally or misses? We know for fact that the gunmen(martial artist) does not know how shoot a gun properly(use a martial art) On the other hand let's go back to the gun sitting on the table, this time another gunmen picks it up right, loads it right, handles it right and shoots it right. We know now what the gunman(martial artist) knows how to properly use a gun the right way(the martial art) The moral and meaning of the martial art is not the martial art it's self, It is the martial artist, and how well he/she trained.
Stephen Martin couldn't agree more. If someone trains 1 times a week it will be a different outcome to someone who trained 5 times a week. It's how you receive the information and, like you said, how well you know the information that was taught to you. You need to put the time into learning like any other education to get the results that most people expect.
yes indeed. they didn't read horizontally and vertically about the history battle in philippines and i can prove it because spanish soldiers are full of armors that filipinos are hard to kill them
@@taylorkalister Marcaida isn't saying the art is unrealistic, but aspects of it - like the knife on knife drills demonstrated - can be unrealistic. Notice the relaxed cadence of it. There is less intensity, less overall movement and power, both feeder and receiver and exhibiting good technique. These are two trained martial artists having a good time, having a "conversation". Reality-based training is when you move past the drill into pure intensity, aggression and power and stress. The attacker is trying to take your head off or put a blade through your eyeballs. Or trying to hold you and stitched you. Or there would be several attackers trying to swarm you. That reactionary gap closes fast, fog of war sets in, the comfort zone is gone, range collapses, instinct kicks in etc. It's your job to survive. The fancy stuff goes out the window. Where you were able to pass and cut several times, you now have only room to strike once with precision before moving onto the next attacker. Getting stuck, getting grappled is a death knell for the Kali person. Most practitioners would literally fail in such a scenario, getting stabbed or cut multiple times. There's the art....and then there's the reality or the aliveness that must be trained with the art.
The point Doug & Chris make in this video is that you & your partner must push each other, get creative, and apply real-life applications to the drills. SPARRING. It gives you and other students to chance to explore and apply the skills & drills to "live" combat situations. That's where the true learning takes place.
+Peter Marron (Pbmarron) You have got it. This is exactly what we do at the club I go to in Western Australia. Yes obviously it's important to understand the principles and do things slow but then sparring gives you that sense of the need to be alert. Your attacker is not going to attack predictably.
I learned MMA with my Kali roots when I was in highschool, when we moved to the US I joined a gym that practices taekwondo and BBJ, one of the instructor challenge me to bring my rattan sticks and spar with him. all I can say is that If that was a real bolo I could've killed him a hundred times already. Im pretty sure his arms could've flown first. Of course trainings are unrealistic but it presents you with scenarios that if you face that in real life you atleast have an idea what to do base on your training and reflexes.
I have seen several of Marcaidas videos, and he seems very good at what he does. But at the same time he seems very humble. He seems to have a very well founded philosophy around the art, and I find it very educational.
I love this explanation. The "Art" is the expression of creativity in the context of developing the appropriate motor skills and timing of whatever style you use. Sometimes, that's all a person wants to explore. There's nothing wrong with that. Those that criticize do not have a true understanding. It's baseless opinions, or based on limited experience, knowledge and foresight.
+Stephanie Brokenbaugh No thankyou this art is a gift to the world. It has its morals and principles and simple yet complex system. I wish there was a kali place near where I love. I would love to train with this man.
I like the paper target analogy.. that explains it very well for those who easily calling martial arts fake based on drills they see...he explains it very precise here nobody actually thought bad guys will just stand in front of the cops/soldiers like a paper target just waiting to get hit.. in reality, they will fire back and cover.. but do we ever say what they doing at the firing range is bs? No, because it's a drill and that's the same point in martial arts.. muscle memory equates to presence of mind in an actual scenario
It builds muscle memory. The idea there is to always train and train. I can kind of understand this because the martial art I trained was also deemed "unrealistic" by many until I gained first-hand experience using it in an actual situation. It's actually a journey to prepare you for that one scenario you'd rather not happen to you or your loved ones. Still, martial arts like these are also meant to be enjoyed. That's why it's called a martial ART.
This is truly a beautiful art,the training, movements everything. I believe that if you do have a plan and faced with a situation of a crazed person trying to hurt you that even subconsciously having that training will better prepare you to defend yourself just enough to get away is the objective. I hope it never happens of course but that one technique may the difference, so training is the key the best way you can without killing yourselves. Doug Marcaida's questions & answers in my opinion were right on the money. Peace be with you.
The main reason why Kali training is unrealistic is because back in the age of Spanish colonies, the practice of Kali was a sign of rebellion. The Filipinos then decided to disguise it as a dance, which is why most of its training are staged. There are very few Kali schools nowadays that still sticks to its real combat roots which is specifically trained to just kill.
This may be my favorite training video ever!! I'm a gun guy and I've just recently started watching these knife vids (somehow I got here from looking to buy my first karambit lol). I wish firearms trainers would understand that A LOT of the BS they teach is just an art and is not directly applicable to anything. I love how Doug thoroughly explained that.
Very realistic. Because doug is mastering different scenarios over and over again. The brain becomes as sharp as the knife. It's a dance here but becomes controlled savagery in real time.
People who train with firearms don't just shoot at targets, many of them do "sparring" against other teams armed with simunitions; they test their training, strategy, and tactics against other people with different training, strategy, and tactics. So I'd like to see something similar with martial arts demonstrations. How about instead of showing slow motion attacks with posable humans, you do some real sparring with foam weapons against other people from different combat styles?
+Xaro Xhoan Daxos Then it turns into hand-tag. Not always, but typically. Its rare to find knife guys actually sparring and not just focusing solely on their knives. You can look up videos of people sparring with knives all over--Cold Steel sponsors a competition all about knife fighting. Its interesting, but it turns into fencing. As far as training with firearms--don't forget dry firing. It is super helpful and often overlooked, especially by people who cry about it damaging the gun--this is patently false.
CthonicSoulChicken Well my main point is that most other martial artists from other disciplines actually fight. Say what you want about boxers, karatekas, or TKD'ers, but they will actually get in a cage and fight to prove their fighting style is valid. Then there are the bullshido artists who do nothing but slo-motion theatrics with posable human dummies and they don't fight because they claim their art is "too dangerous" for sparring. Now I'm not saying the stuff in this video is all bullshido, but for me to take anything like this seriously, I really need to see it used in a fight. Saying "targets don't shoot back" is invalid because people who train with guns DO spar with other people who train with guns.
+Xaro Xhoan Daxos I agree since this is a tactical channel they should show it full speed, full aggression. Kenjutsu does have folks who use weighted foam swords at full speed as well as those who don't where it is really just an art or sport. There are those who also use armor in Filipino stick fighting but I think that's pretty tough to make realistic since the pain is part of the fight and obviously the armor takes away a lot of the pain. gun fighting does have an advantage with force on force training with airsoft, simunitions and laser but even those cannot be done at long range. Still I agree they should show stuff here at full speed and aggression even with compromises for safety.
The best answer or explanation is how your philosophy of how there is no right or wrong which is beautiful. The growth of understanding that people express themselves differently. Everyone is a different world meaning how everyone perceives things or better yet thoughts. If there is an entrance there has to be an exit? The idea is if physically one does not exist then create one!
Kali seems like a advantageous art to know. It's pragmatic and includes improvisations. I myself want to purchase a karambit knife and take Kali instructional courses.
Kali , Eskrima and Arnis (all Filipino martial arts) have the same fighting styles and use one or two sticks representative of a sword and shield They are however like all combat based systems only as good as the practitioners native talent level and his hours of repetition. In a real knife fight assuming you didn't have the space of time to run away like a rational person , even if you are Doug .Marcaida you will still most likely sustain wounds. As Terrance Popp says about gunfights , "once the two way rifle range has begun the suck factor goes from zero to one hundred". Answer is don't get in knife fights but be prepared just in case.
This reminds me a lot of Chi Sao, feeling the flow of energy to find your opening and go through the most direct path. I find that wing chun gets a lot of bad rep because people try and use Chi Sao in a real fight, which of course wouldn't work, it's all about feeling how momentum flows and finding openings, and just like Doug said, to express the art. The application is much different, I'd love to learn Kali and see how the two arts could complement each other.
Well explained. Every form of martial arts came from idealistic minds and applied it in reality. Like Bruce Lee said be water, hold the tradition but break it, be formless that's gonna make you unpredictable which also scares your foe. Humans really fear the unknown.
When i watch this movement i feel nostalgic my grandfather and my uncle always practice this movement when I'm 8yrs old now I'm 38 i see it again I'm happy that there still someone know this self-defense i thought this is already gone
The more you are familiar with the movements the less you have to think about how to deliver a proper block or attack which means it is less stress. Having the fundamentals down helps you focus on the larger strategies in a fight if you have to use it. This is why pressure testing is key to the success and growth of all real martial arts. In karate and Kung Fu no one is delivering the full force of maiming blows to their training partner.. but the fact that you train them means you have the option to do so if you have to defend yourself in a terrible situation.
100% correct. That is why there are katas, poomsaes(forms) and soft sparring sessions(the stuff that are "boring" to the skeptics). They are the ABC's. The "Martial art side" makes the art dynamic. That is where you improve your balance, control, stamina and skill in general. As you progress, without knowing it, the values of respect(oneself and to others), indomitable spirit and self confidence are inculcated along the way.
Fantastic no bs video. Beautiful explanation of the difference between a martial art and practical self defense. there is plenty of overlap but its important to know which is which.
Have to admit I thought this was just another bash the art of choice but I was pleasantly surprised. I trained in jkd and Kali for a long time and I completely agree with you on everything. I also grew up in a very tough area so I know what a real fight looks like.
outstanding perspective to train without disintegrating honor and brotherhood. I totally support your ideology of nonaggression while learning and sharing an art form. In the end martial art is all about how you treat others, a way of life.... not death!!! Thanks a lot. Regards!!!
Wow, what a great breakdown of civil society and completely ignoring politics!❤ "Learn the disease so you can cure it!" What an awesome quote! I love the whole conversation philosophy of FMA!
Kali is mostly used by the US military and Russian military. It's probably because of its practical use because of the intended use of it especially the origin. Well of course training like this is just good for grasping muscle memory and try finding a creative way to explore and add something to it. Kali doesn't mostly put a lot of conflict with other martial arts. It has a wide range of flexibility
Not really it’s bastardized into a really corny Macp or combatives version but to say mostly used, is a bullshit statement. Met people who practiced different fighting disciplines and we trained together but totally bringing in that knowledge from our own spare time or killing time in the field or flight line
I started in traditional arts and realized how things really are. No disrespect to this instructor or any practitioner of kali, but i would suggest adding realistic scenarios and simple movements. Keep it simple, train the simplest movements rigorously, and teach based on concepts instead of techniques. Also, study real life attacks and make a baseline for how they usually go down, scenarios may change but usually the attacks are similar. Chad lyman C4C is a great thing to look up, the way he teaches is extremely real and viable.
I mean, pretty unrealistic that i could set up a match with a big name like this man, and i never doubted his skill. All i was saying is that im not seeing realism in this PARTICULAR session of training, and i have seen more realistic and beneficial training elsewhere. I explicitly said no disrespect in my first comment. However, if doug sees this and it is possible to set that up i would be honored and im sure i would learn alot from it.
@@trialanderrorsurvival392 man no diss about your comment man but the other guy is a us army come on how could be someone in the army know kali if its not realistic ? special forces all over the world are trained with kali. so how come you would say unrealistic when the special forces Are acquiring these skill and to think they are the one mostly in combat in front of the enemy ?
I didnt say kali wasn't realistic or not a skill worth learning, i said this particular training in my eyes was not realistic. I mean this is my personal opinion, i was also in the army, i also have been in combat systems of fighting since i was young and this is my opinion. Kali is definitely a skill worth learning but there are also many things, just like with any art, that would just not happen in the street.
Exploration.....jeeeez...that is a word for continues development. Meaning the movement will evolve around Q&A of a particular situation which will definitely include both an objective and subjective standpoint. Master!
That was sick.... Reminds me of my training with my GM..... I am very grateful for the Philippines and Indonesia..... I learned Kali and pentjak silat.....the martial arts from these islands are some of the most brutal and effective ones on the planet...... Just Amazing..... Do some stick and knife please.... That would be even sicker...
@@blackwater7183 definitely not an expert in it. Just because I trained in many different arts, but I most definitely do train in it. It's a beautiful and deadly art. I have much appreciation for the art.....
After almost 14 years of law enforcement, I learned this; You CREATE your violent conflicts through constantly visualizing surviving that episode. Want to learn the secret of surviving violent attacks? Visualize yourself never getting into one to begin with. One of my firearms training instructors believed the best training tool was to "day dream" about getting into a shooting and surviving it using flawless tactics. I did that day dreaming and it resulted in 3 shootings. I now believe my subconscious can be trained to AVOID violent attacks and live a life of peace.
As a martial artist who trains in a weapon-based system, I just have to ask: It seems that most of the time, an attack is blocked by the forearm or the hand. Wouldn't that pose a problem when feints are involved and if the opponent uses a double-bladed edge and does a back draw? You would get your forearm/wrist/hand cut. If this is the training form in order to learn attack patterns, that's different, but I wouldn't put my hand/arm out like that if a blade is involved. I like that Doug mentions that the difference between combat and civilian training: A lot of people think that by watching youtube, they get to know how a certain martial art trains, and therefore, how they fight (ironically, my knowledge of Kali only goes that far as well). But in order to fully understand an art, you need to be in the dojo training it, where there are no cameras.
I think it depends alot if the uki telegraphs his slow motion attack and leaves himself extended while you execute your 15 step counter attack, or if it's full speed prison shanking tactics.
In Kali knife drills we are taught you will be cut (if you have to fight - first lesson is run) but we are taught to ensure the potential cuts are not life threatening- we turn our forearms so that the potential cuts are not on areas where you'll bleed out quickly. While knife fights are deadly no matter how much training, sometimes you will be in this situation.
@@mageeswifts9619 If you are in a knife fight, you likely will get cut. Training to get through that is the right thing. These flashy trainings are nice and all, but not reflective of active resistance. You need actual protection and need to basically get beat up.
Wow.. Not only a great fighter but also a great talker .. Your words flew like music through my ears with sound logic also. I believe you have perfected at least two arts here .. Good job.
The flow arts are phenomenal for continuous attacks and dealing with "obstacles". Some people have better sensitivity and awareness than others, and a good teacher goes a long way.
first thing first, martial arts is an art. Second.. You must learn the basics. Third. incorporate the basics. Fourth, learn the techniques, techniques are many in numbers but you have to use only one that is applicable in every situation, Train hard, Study hard, ... The greatest technique is to avoid trouble. That is the essence of Filipino Martial art, You greatest opponent is your self.
Thanks for sharing. From a Filipino escrima standpoint many generations this tactic is not feasible. The second or third perpetrator would be already attacking with another blade or gun. Many family members in the Philippines with great escrima skills were killed by gunfire because nobody could beat them.
This video popped in my youtube feed. To see this again still rings in my head today. What Doug said here is so true ! I can watch the video all day :D
This video is important. The principle that needs to be understood: Training sets a framework. The best frameworks train us to be adaptable in the moment and help us expand our capacity to be environmentally conscious.
john and D. Cueno are most idiot commentator.....this video will help a person in some helpless situation specially if you don't have bullets anymore...and this video help you in close fight situation specially in raiding houses situation...one on one combat situation.. this video will help you how to defends your self....specially in the street i have a question in both of you idiots.....are you walking in the streets with weapons in your hands every minutes,hours or at all times?????? if not....better u STFU...masterbate your small D....while your brain is with drugs idiots
I personally respect the techniques shown in this video and i totally agrees that certain practices are different than real fight/situations, you took an example as shooting a paper target, nice one! But you won't do any fancy / unrealistic movements WHEN you shooting the paper target. Same thing here.
All I know is this , from doing the art of kali in the fma schools to reading books like pentecost there is a difference between the tactics aborb wha t is useful. I used to do a variety or anrnis strikes, but since I use a cane, I only pracitce 3 overhead or nose strike, jaw strike, then collar bone strike as bruce lee said hack away at the unessentials. This is merely my view point on blade and stick work.
True!... When you are on a defense mode, what if you are in the offense. There's the real question begins. Temper control is a must and total calmness & forgiving heart/mind. 👍👍👍...
Knife tapping is completely unrealistic, nobody in a real fight leaves a limb out to cut, strike, tap, etc. You will never redirect an opponents arm in a real fight. I call this type of knife work, blade ballet. Put on head gear, rubber knives and learn to spar for real. I have 40 years MA experience as well as taught defensive tactics for state police academy and worked in prison for over 25 years watching real attacks. The way you train is the way you fight. Train for realism.
yea this did seem scammy"" especially when they went fast. like who the fuck or when would you ever see that. but I don't know shit about knife fighting. if I'm gonna be armed I'll just have a gun. good by guy with whatever training. unarmed I'll stick with my boxing thai and jitsu
If you go to a good FMA school, that's how about every session ends. One teacher I knew would put a guy in the middle of five just so the five could beat on him relentlessly while the guy in the middle learns to block, even if it's just some things in a situation where you have no clue what's happening. The guy in the middle always looses.
these guys teach your police force. and there u.s special forces bro. and it works. in phils they play alot. knifes are normal. i see kids with machetes daily over there is normal. i got sliced when i was 9 yrs old over a game of pogs in cebu. fucking bontah over there.
In ancient Philippines, they practice Kali with real knives and no gear. That's why the Spanish colonizers banned the practice of the art with knives..and rattan is the only solution.
...and the Filipino rebels during the Spaniard times, the way how we massacred the Americans, and the legendary guerilla Arnisuderos during WWII will prove you that this art is real..and very effective
3:40 I think that is my favorite response to any questions ever. As soon as the guy asks "can we see an example? "without even letting him finish his sentence they just go at it.
It's a good point what you said at the end. The same way you are learning to fight your way out of a situation, martial arts also builds a sense of awareness which shows you how to avoid unnecessary fights as well.. Simply by detecting the possibility of violence before it happens..
I have trained in the art of Self Sutra. I have graduated and am now a Master Bader... My wife is also a Master Bader and she often showcases her different strokes in Master Bading. Her tools/weapons range in colour and size that makes for interesting Bading sessions which we usually capture on video.
I started training bjj not long ago because I find that it gives you live training that is pretty close to real physical confrontation but what this instructor said makes perfect sense and the training looks like it is lots of fun and can ultimately help as a last resort in a real life scenario.
The point of the training is to teach you the technique so you can keep a clear mind and your body can react on impulse and instinct rather than being slowed by a mind clouded with fear or anger. The more calm you are, the more alert you are and the faster you can react to a situation. This is what the training is for.

I don't know why he couldn't just say that they train traditional drills and also do freestyle sparring with attacks that are more likely to happen in reality, like "sewing machine" attacks, rather than someone just using the same knife work you do. And to answer his remark about not having realistic training with guns, that's what stuff like paintball is good for.

Doug's one of the nicest masters I've ever had the privilege to meet .
So far, this is the most clear explanation of martial training I've seen on RUclips.
Kali saved my life. So how is it unrealistic? I was being robbed with a knife but I didn't have anything on me because I was just running. He didn't believe me and tried attacking me. I defended myself and he dropped the knife. I was cut on my arm pretty deep but better than my heart or neck. It says in your description that we practice till it's basically muscle memory that half true but we also train with training knives and paint the edges (or use sharpies) and train in real time. The only thing that is unrealistic is trying to prove another martial arts is not useful.
taylorkalister, yes indeed! I look at martial arts this way, the martial art itself is nothing. A Martial artist is what makes it practical and realistic, for instance let's think of a gun, the gun is the martial art, and martial artist is the gunman. Let's say the gun is sitting on a table, it's not doing anything, because nobody is using it, now let's say somebody picks the gun up and shoots somebody accidentally or misses? We know for fact that the gunmen(martial artist) does not know how shoot a gun properly(use a martial art) On the other hand let's go back to the gun sitting on the table, this time another gunmen picks it up right, loads it right, handles it right and shoots it right. We know now what the gunman(martial artist) knows how to properly use a gun the right way(the martial art) The moral and meaning of the martial art is not the martial art it's self, It is the martial artist, and how well he/she trained.
Stephen Martin couldn't agree more. If someone trains 1 times a week it will be a different outcome to someone who trained 5 times a week. It's how you receive the information and, like you said, how well you know the information that was taught to you. You need to put the time into learning like any other education to get the results that most people expect.
yes indeed. they didn't read horizontally and vertically about the history battle in philippines and i can prove it because spanish soldiers are full of armors that filipinos are hard to kill them
and other netizens didn't know the meaning of "martial arts"
@@taylorkalister
Marcaida isn't saying the art is unrealistic, but aspects of it - like the knife on knife drills demonstrated - can be unrealistic. Notice the relaxed cadence of it. There is less intensity, less overall movement and power, both feeder and receiver and exhibiting good technique. These are two trained martial artists having a good time, having a "conversation". Reality-based training is when you move past the drill into pure intensity, aggression and power and stress. The attacker is trying to take your head off or put a blade through your eyeballs. Or trying to hold you and stitched you. Or there would be several attackers trying to swarm you. That reactionary gap closes fast, fog of war sets in, the comfort zone is gone, range collapses, instinct kicks in etc. It's your job to survive. The fancy stuff goes out the window. Where you were able to pass and cut several times, you now have only room to strike once with precision before moving onto the next attacker. Getting stuck, getting grappled is a death knell for the Kali person. Most practitioners would literally fail in such a scenario, getting stabbed or cut multiple times. There's the art....and then there's the reality or the aliveness that must be trained with the art.
He explained the real meaning of what martial arts is , it's to learn from one another but people take it as trying to fuck someone up
Question and Answer - Conversation - EXCELLENT description!Thanks
"Learn the disease, so you can cure it." Amazing lesson!!
The point Doug & Chris make in this video is that you & your partner must push each other, get creative, and apply real-life applications to the drills. SPARRING. It gives you and other students to chance to explore and apply the skills & drills to "live" combat situations. That's where the true learning takes place.

+Funker Tactical - Gun & Gear Videos guys this video was really enlightening.
+Peter Marron (Pbmarron) Practice makes perfect in other words. Its like teaching an automatic response to a certain stimuli....muscle memory!
+Peter Marron (Pbmarron) You have got it. This is exactly what we do at the club I go to in Western Australia. Yes obviously it's important to understand the principles and do things slow but then sparring gives you that sense of the need to be alert. Your attacker is not going to attack predictably.

He is! I took a Kali class with him a couple times in college :D
yah but in college its boring to use arnis stick its better if you use the karambit dager.
yeah bro im flip. but i like his silat better. crazy shit
I learned MMA with my Kali roots when I was in highschool, when we moved to the US I joined a gym that practices taekwondo and BBJ, one of the instructor challenge me to bring my rattan sticks and spar with him. all I can say is that If that was a real bolo I could've killed him a hundred times already. Im pretty sure his arms could've flown first. Of course trainings are unrealistic but it presents you with scenarios that if you face that in real life you atleast have an idea what to do base on your training and reflexes.

Nothing but respect for Doug and the arts. Being aware and understanding the situation so you can stay out of harm's way is very important
Agreed.
I have seen several of Marcaidas videos, and he seems very good at what he does. But at the same time he seems very humble. He seems to have a very well founded philosophy around the art, and I find it very educational.
It’s a Philippine martial art called Cali
I love this explanation. The "Art" is the expression of creativity in the context of developing the appropriate motor skills and timing of whatever style you use. Sometimes, that's all a person wants to explore. There's nothing wrong with that. Those that criticize do not have a true understanding. It's baseless opinions, or based on limited experience, knowledge and foresight.

Let us all make comments that completely misses the point of the video thank you
you have a nice profile pic there
I like the paper target analogy.. that explains it very well for those who easily calling martial arts fake based on drills they see...he explains it very precise here nobody actually thought bad guys will just stand in front of the cops/soldiers like a paper target just waiting to get hit.. in reality, they will fire back and cover.. but do we ever say what they doing at the firing range is bs? No, because it's a drill and that's the same point in martial arts.. muscle memory equates to presence of mind in an actual scenario
agree
Exactly. Training is removing having to think of how to fight. It allows you to think of what you want to accomplish.
It builds muscle memory. The idea there is to always train and train. I can kind of understand this because the martial art I trained was also deemed "unrealistic" by many until I gained first-hand experience using it in an actual situation. It's actually a journey to prepare you for that one scenario you'd rather not happen to you or your loved ones. Still, martial arts like these are also meant to be enjoyed. That's why it's called a martial ART.
What a beautiful way to explain the arts!
Absolutely wonderful perspective. Would love to find an instructor with this level of honesty and poise. Thank you for this video.
This is truly a beautiful art,the training, movements everything. I believe that if you do have a plan and faced with a situation of a crazed person trying to hurt you that even subconsciously having that training will better prepare you to defend yourself just enough to get away is the objective. I hope it never happens of course but that one technique may the difference, so training is the key the best way you can without killing yourselves. Doug Marcaida's questions & answers in my opinion were right on the money. Peace be with you.
The main reason why Kali training is unrealistic is because back in the age of Spanish colonies, the practice of Kali was a sign of rebellion. The Filipinos then decided to disguise it as a dance, which is why most of its training are staged. There are very few Kali schools nowadays that still sticks to its real combat roots which is specifically trained to just kill.
sorry, you missed the point of the video
As above, you likely didn't watch the whole video.
Pc Genie this is our peoples artfrom. we know what it means
white people have died to this art form
What he says is actually true. The use of knives in Kali training is banned in colonial times.
Haven't I seen you in the comments section of one of noriyaro's videos?
This may be my favorite training video ever!! I'm a gun guy and I've just recently started watching these knife vids (somehow I got here from looking to buy my first karambit lol). I wish firearms trainers would understand that A LOT of the BS they teach is just an art and is not directly applicable to anything. I love how Doug thoroughly explained that.
The Dog Brothers proved most of these techniques go out the window in combat. m.ruclips.net/video/CELN-DQI5qc/видео.html
Very realistic. Because doug is mastering different scenarios over and over again. The brain becomes as sharp as the knife. It's a dance here but becomes controlled savagery in real time.
🙄 control savagery Excuse me while I roll my eyes Bruce Lee called it emotional intent duh
Two of the things I take away from this: one - Doug is such a cool teacher, two - "Learn the disease, so you can cure it."
I loved everything about this vid. The art, the skill, & knowledge was all top notch.🔥
People who train with firearms don't just shoot at targets, many of them do "sparring" against other teams armed with simunitions; they test their training, strategy, and tactics against other people with different training, strategy, and tactics.
So I'd like to see something similar with martial arts demonstrations. How about instead of showing slow motion attacks with posable humans, you do some real sparring with foam weapons against other people from different combat styles?
yeah I agree.
+Xaro Xhoan Daxos Then it turns into hand-tag. Not always, but typically. Its rare to find knife guys actually sparring and not just focusing solely on their knives. You can look up videos of people sparring with knives all over--Cold Steel sponsors a competition all about knife fighting. Its interesting, but it turns into fencing. As far as training with firearms--don't forget dry firing. It is super helpful and often overlooked, especially by people who cry about it damaging the gun--this is patently false.
CthonicSoulChicken Well my main point is that most other martial artists from other disciplines actually fight. Say what you want about boxers, karatekas, or TKD'ers, but they will actually get in a cage and fight to prove their fighting style is valid.
Then there are the bullshido artists who do nothing but slo-motion theatrics with posable human dummies and they don't fight because they claim their art is "too dangerous" for sparring.
Now I'm not saying the stuff in this video is all bullshido, but for me to take anything like this seriously, I really need to see it used in a fight. Saying "targets don't shoot back" is invalid because people who train with guns DO spar with other people who train with guns.
+Xaro Xhoan Daxos I agree since this is a tactical channel they should show it full speed, full aggression. Kenjutsu does have folks who use weighted foam swords at full speed as well as those who don't where it is really just an art or sport. There are those who also use armor in Filipino stick fighting but I think that's pretty tough to make realistic since the pain is part of the fight and obviously the armor takes away a lot of the pain. gun fighting does have an advantage with force on force training with airsoft, simunitions and laser but even those cannot be done at long range. Still I agree they should show stuff here at full speed and aggression even with compromises for safety.
lmfao at bullshido. haha
The best answer or explanation is how your philosophy of how there is no right or wrong which is beautiful. The growth of understanding that people express themselves differently. Everyone is a different world meaning how everyone perceives things or better yet thoughts. If there is an entrance there has to be an exit? The idea is if physically one does not exist then create one!
Kali seems like a advantageous art to know. It's pragmatic and includes improvisations. I myself want to purchase a karambit knife and take Kali instructional courses.
Kali , Eskrima and Arnis (all Filipino martial arts) have the same fighting styles and use one or two sticks representative of a sword and shield
They are however like all combat based systems only as good as the practitioners native talent level and his hours of repetition.
In a real knife fight assuming you didn't have the space of time to run away like a rational person , even if you are Doug .Marcaida you will still most likely sustain wounds.
As Terrance Popp says about gunfights , "once the two way rifle range has begun the suck factor goes from zero to one hundred".
Answer is don't get in knife fights but be prepared just in case.
This reminds me a lot of Chi Sao, feeling the flow of energy to find your opening and go through the most direct path.
I find that wing chun gets a lot of bad rep because people try and use Chi Sao in a real fight, which of course wouldn't work, it's all about feeling how momentum flows and finding openings, and just like Doug said, to express the art.
The application is much different, I'd love to learn Kali and see how the two arts could complement each other.
Hats off to doug's senior student!!!!!! Humble highly skilled !! Excellent vid thanks guys!!!
I fell for the clickbait title. lol
GREAT advice very well articulated. Thanks guys.
Well explained.
Every form of martial arts came from idealistic minds and applied it in reality.
Like Bruce Lee said be water,
hold the tradition but break it, be formless that's gonna make you unpredictable which also scares your foe.
Humans really fear the unknown.
When i watch this movement i feel nostalgic my grandfather and my uncle always practice this movement when I'm 8yrs old now I'm 38 i see it again I'm happy that there still someone know this self-defense i thought this is already gone
doug is aways realistic, would be cool to train with him.
The Dog Brothers proved most of these techniques go out the window in combat. m.ruclips.net/video/CELN-DQI5qc/видео.html
Crystal clear explanation:)
The more you are familiar with the movements the less you have to think about how to deliver a proper block or attack which means it is less stress. Having the fundamentals down helps you focus on the larger strategies in a fight if you have to use it. This is why pressure testing is key to the success and growth of all real martial arts. In karate and Kung Fu no one is delivering the full force of maiming blows to their training partner.. but the fact that you train them means you have the option to do so if you have to defend yourself in a terrible situation.
100% correct. That is why there are katas, poomsaes(forms) and soft sparring sessions(the stuff that are "boring" to the skeptics). They are the ABC's. The "Martial art side" makes the art dynamic. That is where you improve your balance, control, stamina and skill in general. As you progress, without knowing it, the values of respect(oneself and to others), indomitable spirit and self confidence are inculcated along the way.

Fantastic no bs video. Beautiful explanation of the difference between a martial art and practical self defense. there is plenty of overlap but its important to know which is which.

"My wife and i" do too ...
Have to admit I thought this was just another bash the art of choice but I was pleasantly surprised. I trained in jkd and Kali for a long time and I completely agree with you on everything. I also grew up in a very tough area so I know what a real fight looks like.
Very good. This type of training also develops sensitivity, confidence, flow and possibilities.
One of the best videos regarding martial arts practices I have seen in a while. Doug Marcaida knows his stuff.
Doug Marcaida is such a legend
outstanding perspective to train without disintegrating honor and brotherhood. I totally support your ideology of nonaggression while learning and sharing an art form. In the end martial art is all about how you treat others, a way of life.... not death!!! Thanks a lot. Regards!!!
it only becomes real when someone gets hurt. training is what prepares you from scenes that might actually happen during combat.
Wow, what a great breakdown of civil society and completely ignoring politics!❤ "Learn the disease so you can cure it!" What an awesome quote! I love the whole conversation philosophy of FMA!
Kali is mostly used by the US military and Russian military. It's probably because of its practical use because of the intended use of it especially the origin. Well of course training like this is just good for grasping muscle memory and try finding a creative way to explore and add something to it. Kali doesn't mostly put a lot of conflict with other martial arts. It has a wide range of flexibility
Absolutely false.
@@wehrewulf Absolutely true.
Not really it’s bastardized into a really corny Macp or combatives version but to say mostly used, is a bullshit statement. Met people who practiced different fighting disciplines and we trained together but totally bringing in that knowledge from our own spare time or killing time in the field or flight line
"Its a conversation "......Masterfully explained.
I started in traditional arts and realized how things really are. No disrespect to this instructor or any practitioner of kali, but i would suggest adding realistic scenarios and simple movements. Keep it simple, train the simplest movements rigorously, and teach based on concepts instead of techniques. Also, study real life attacks and make a baseline for how they usually go down, scenarios may change but usually the attacks are similar. Chad lyman C4C is a great thing to look up, the way he teaches is extremely real and viable.
How about try fighting doug marcaida? Message him and give him an actual fight. 😂
I mean, pretty unrealistic that i could set up a match with a big name like this man, and i never doubted his skill. All i was saying is that im not seeing realism in this PARTICULAR session of training, and i have seen more realistic and beneficial training elsewhere. I explicitly said no disrespect in my first comment. However, if doug sees this and it is possible to set that up i would be honored and im sure i would learn alot from it.
@@trialanderrorsurvival392 man no diss about your comment man but the other guy is a us army come on how could be someone in the army know kali if its not realistic ? special forces all over the world are trained with kali. so how come you would say unrealistic when the special forces Are acquiring these skill and to think they are the one mostly in combat in front of the enemy ?
and how come the us marines are in the Philippines trying to learn kali and arnis?.
I didnt say kali wasn't realistic or not a skill worth learning, i said this particular training in my eyes was not realistic. I mean this is my personal opinion, i was also in the army, i also have been in combat systems of fighting since i was young and this is my opinion. Kali is definitely a skill worth learning but there are also many things, just like with any art, that would just not happen in the street.
Exploration.....jeeeez...that is a word for continues development. Meaning the movement will evolve around Q&A of a particular situation which will definitely include both an objective and subjective standpoint. Master!
Just amazing! It brings tears to my eyes how dedicated they are to their art form.
That was sick.... Reminds me of my training with my GM..... I am very grateful for the Philippines and Indonesia..... I learned Kali and pentjak silat.....the martial arts from these islands are some of the most brutal and effective ones on the planet...... Just Amazing..... Do some stick and knife please.... That would be even sicker...
Oh you know Silat. 👏
@@blackwater7183 definitely not an expert in it. Just because I trained in many different arts, but I most definitely do train in it. It's a beautiful and deadly art. I have much appreciation for the art.....

Correction: "why your Filipino martial arts training is unrealistic."
The reaction time and flow is incredible.
this shit is fucking awesome
the training fee is free, you just need to buy the belts and the kimono
After almost 14 years of law enforcement, I learned this; You CREATE your violent conflicts through constantly visualizing surviving that episode. Want to learn the secret of surviving violent attacks? Visualize yourself never getting into one to begin with. One of my firearms training instructors believed the best training tool was to "day dream" about getting into a shooting and surviving it using flawless tactics. I did that day dreaming and it resulted in 3 shootings. I now believe my subconscious can be trained to AVOID violent attacks and live a life of peace.
As a martial artist who trains in a weapon-based system, I just have to ask: It seems that most of the time, an attack is blocked by the forearm or the hand. Wouldn't that pose a problem when feints are involved and if the opponent uses a double-bladed edge and does a back draw? You would get your forearm/wrist/hand cut. If this is the training form in order to learn attack patterns, that's different, but I wouldn't put my hand/arm out like that if a blade is involved.
I like that Doug mentions that the difference between combat and civilian training: A lot of people think that by watching youtube, they get to know how a certain martial art trains, and therefore, how they fight (ironically, my knowledge of Kali only goes that far as well). But in order to fully understand an art, you need to be in the dojo training it, where there are no cameras.
I think it depends alot if the uki telegraphs his slow motion attack and leaves himself extended while you execute your 15 step counter attack, or if it's full speed prison shanking tactics.
In Kali knife drills we are taught you will be cut (if you have to fight - first lesson is run) but we are taught to ensure the potential cuts are not life threatening- we turn our forearms so that the potential cuts are not on areas where you'll bleed out quickly. While knife fights are deadly no matter how much training, sometimes you will be in this situation.
@@mageeswifts9619
If you are in a knife fight, you likely will get cut. Training to get through that is the right thing.
These flashy trainings are nice and all, but not reflective of active resistance. You need actual protection and need to basically get beat up.

Second.. You must learn the basics.
Third. incorporate the basics.
Fourth, learn the techniques, techniques are many in numbers but you have to use only one that is applicable in every situation,
Train hard, Study hard, ...
The greatest technique is to avoid trouble. That is the essence of Filipino Martial art,
You greatest opponent is your self.

Thanks for sharing. From a Filipino escrima standpoint many generations this tactic is not feasible. The second or third perpetrator would be already attacking with another blade or gun. Many family members in the Philippines with great escrima skills were killed by gunfire because nobody could beat them.
Yup, might not be best to bring a knife to a gunfight.

I personally respect the techniques shown in this video and i totally agrees that certain practices are different than real fight/situations, you took an example as shooting a paper target, nice one! But you won't do any fancy / unrealistic movements WHEN you shooting the paper target. Same thing here.
i follow the art of prison shanking which is realistic. 😁
DeathstalkeR shank jitsu read the don pendegast book put em down take em out most realistic book written
Stab me, keyboard warrior
All I know is this , from doing the art of kali in the fma schools to reading books like pentecost there is a difference between the tactics aborb wha t is useful.
I used to do a variety or anrnis strikes, but since I use a cane, I only pracitce 3 overhead or nose strike, jaw strike, then collar bone strike as bruce lee said hack away at the unessentials. This is merely my view point on blade and stick work.
But it's predictable to trained men
What!? Serious much?
True!...
When you are on a defense mode, what if you are in the offense.
There's the real question begins.
Temper control is a must and total calmness & forgiving heart/mind.
👍👍👍...
Knife tapping is completely unrealistic, nobody in a real fight leaves a limb out to cut, strike, tap, etc. You will never redirect an opponents arm in a real fight. I call this type of knife work, blade ballet. Put on head gear, rubber knives and learn to spar for real. I have 40 years MA experience as well as taught defensive tactics for state police academy and worked in prison for over 25 years watching real attacks. The way you train is the way you fight. Train for realism.
yea this did seem scammy"" especially when they went fast. like who the fuck or when would you ever see that. but I don't know shit about knife fighting. if I'm gonna be armed I'll just have a gun. good by guy with whatever training. unarmed I'll stick with my boxing thai and jitsu
If you go to a good FMA school, that's how about every session ends. One teacher I knew would put a guy in the middle of five just so the five could beat on him relentlessly while the guy in the middle learns to block, even if it's just some things in a situation where you have no clue what's happening. The guy in the middle always looses.
these guys teach your police force. and there u.s special forces bro. and it works. in phils they play alot. knifes are normal. i see kids with machetes daily over there is normal. i got sliced when i was 9 yrs old over a game of pogs in cebu. fucking bontah over there.
In ancient Philippines, they practice Kali with real knives and no gear. That's why the Spanish colonizers banned the practice of the art with knives..and rattan is the only solution.
...and the Filipino rebels during the Spaniard times, the way how we massacred the Americans, and the legendary guerilla Arnisuderos during WWII will prove you that this art is real..and very effective
3:40 I think that is my favorite response to any questions ever. As soon as the guy asks "can we see an example? "without even letting him finish his sentence they just go at it.
_Unsubscribed_
Very good demo! Thank you so much.
It's a good point what you said at the end. The same way you are learning to fight your way out of a situation, martial arts also builds a sense of awareness which shows you how to avoid unnecessary fights as well.. Simply by detecting the possibility of violence before it happens..
I have trained in the art of Self Sutra. I have graduated and am now a Master Bader... My wife is also a Master Bader and she often showcases her different strokes in Master Bading. Her tools/weapons range in colour and size that makes for interesting Bading sessions which we usually capture on video.
I started training bjj not long ago because I find that it gives you live training that is pretty close to real physical confrontation but what this instructor said makes perfect sense and the training looks like it is lots of fun and can ultimately help as a last resort in a real life scenario.
An Amazing Teacher !
