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.

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.

Question and Answer - Conversation - EXCELLENT description!Thanks

"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!

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.

[secretasianman]

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.

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.

I like the philipino trainer. Even though he could definitely kill me, he looks like a nice/great person

[Pbmarron]

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.

So far, this is the most clear explanation of martial training I've seen on YouTube.

[kaiderukawa]

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.

[samivey]

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

[bbarker]

I love this video!! Doug really goes deep and explains the real meaning of training and application of Filipino martial arts.

[iszephyr]

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

[silentwolf]

"Learn the disease, so you can cure it." Amazing lesson!!

[imthamost]

I loved everything about this vid. The art, the skill, & knowledge was all top notch.🔥

[scottyb-ib]

What a beautiful way to explain the arts!

[DeeboComing]

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.

[nowayasway]

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.

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
