Best part is the slaps for sound effects. My favorite is the double cross backhand slap. This guy has taken choreographed katas to the next level

[IronMongoose]

Love the open-hand shearing paradigm. I remember this from Bob Orlando, he shared some great Silat knowledge stateside in the 90's, but Mastro is new to me.

[corporateragnar]

can we actually see this in action where there is true resistance?

[johnnathan]

Please Fred Mastro! We need an instructor of this real thing here in Greece! We want to learn your Defence System! You are Incredible! Thank you very much for your videos!

All this technical display is a great selling point however to make them as efficient you're gonna need to train for many years. Everything Mastro shows is Goju-ryu karate. All this stuff are different bunkai's (some modified maybe) that are derived from kata. There are 10: Gekisai-dai 1, Gekisai-dai 2, Saifa, Seiunchin, Shishochin, Sanseru, Sepai, Kururunfa, Sesan and Suparinpei. In each there are endless amounts of bunkai's. If you do them for long enough you can come up with bunkai's yourself and that's actually what the best masters from Okinawa ask from you once you go to demostrate your kata knowledge - your own bunkai. In order to achieve that however each kata needs to be repeated 100 times a day to build a muscle memory so that the tech comes out in a quarter of a second.
What I am trying to say is that all those self defence classes are doomed to be fraud because they are essentially based on illusion that you can learn game ending technique and you'll be able to execute it in every street scenario. In reality you're going to have to apply years of training to survive in a battle. One renowned russian General once said: "The harder you train the easier the battle"
No tricks.

Some of these techniques are great and some look really cool, but how much can you trust a martial art where the opponent is giving zero resistance. The instructor says "you hit here, then here, then to the knees, and that's it" like that's exactly how it'll go in real life. There are very few martial arts that actually get tested on someone whose fighting back, stick to those.

[scurbelo]

Master Mastro thank for sharing. This demonstration was awesome. Your techniques are the best I've seen.

[pietro]

Doesn't matter how cool it looks, never trust someone who don't spar

[brian]

Absolutely amazing. How do I acquire such skills where is no Silat-themed combative training?

[DNoneya-cowi]

Those complaining...this title include "how-to?" Or "full training session?" How about "sparring session?" I only speak up bc we men are under enough attack by misandrists; shouldn't attack our brothers in this increasingly anti-men world.

This vid is first of all an AD, and combine that with cramming perhaps too much in to show the drawn out struggles of SPARRING. its an ad, NOT AT ALL a HOW-TO. And his MMA match (so different from street, btw, at least the street and bar fights i've been in where there aren't rules), what, a decade ago or something like that? As an ad, i found it entertaining as hell. LOVED the community/camaraderie vibe at the end.

[willieledbetter]

This was good viewing. Similarities between this and Krav Maga. Both are practical, functional and effective. They work. Scenarios are obviously choreographed for demonstration and instruction purposes, but these are merely insights into how much more there is behind them and how much farther they can go.

What is this for a weapon at 3:30? Looks like a little hammer or isnt it? Please if someone knows i am very thankfull for this information

The most important part of a street fight is the safety of yourself and whoever is with you. From what I have seen from the multiple videos you guys post, what you have shown are pretty much spot-on on how to deal with the situation.
I've been seeing way too many keyboard warriors saying the "fancy" techniques won't work in a real life situation and that the other guy will fight back-- well ain't that fcking obvious?
These techniques give you options to choose from if a situation arises. Key note is : Having options. When shit goes down in real life, it all happens fast and with high pressure giving you little to no time to think, but when you have trained enough with the proper techniques, your body will remember it (muscle memory like how you remember where the keys are in your keyboard) giving you a decent chance to defend yourself.

My 2 cents, Could've worded it better but it's late at night.
The videos that you post-- albeit a mere preview of what you have to offer-- has been very informative to me.
My respects to you guys at Funker Tactical and MDS. Keep it up!

[COMMANDERPINT]

what is the little hammer he's using at 3:30 ? I've never seen that piece from doug marcaida.... it's throwing me off.... its not the stubby hammer... so what is it? answer's please

[albang]

damn why I just have to go all bruce Lee in my room every time I watch these 😂

[NiMi]

had to play the video in 0.5 speed, awesome stuff

[klitchfunkton]

Oh man, this is so funny. Can't stop watching, it's better than a Steven Seagal movie.

[ColtCommander]

Id love to see him do this stuff to someone who fought back or at least someone when he didn't know what they were going to do. I mean his shit look effective but.... just sayin'

[craigmeyers]

How many times have you seen anyone just stand there an let you do anything to them? seems a little too much choreographed to me.
