  • @mmtxaz: You're just a talk talk, and a joker as well. Why don't you shut the hell up, and stop being a bitch. All you do is mambo your mouth. If you think this Master is a joke, then why don't you challenge him in person, and see for yourself. I bet you don't have a gut stand up against him and fight like a man. You probably run away from him like a bitch anyway. FYI, Cage fighting is just a sport, not a matter of life and death.

  • Man,don't judge before you try it first.if you're not wanting to learn it,maybe you can test it.. who knows you may like it.

  • There is one problem with ground fighting techniques like these. In itself nothing however teaching a person how to fight on the ground teaches you to stay on the ground everyone needs to know that but your first concern should be how to get up quickly and correct as possible.

  • you probably wouldnt be able to do this shit in a real fight. its not like there going to do the exact same moves and shit.

  • were can i learn this stuff it looks really good

  • silat is very aggressive n brutal. most of their training n exercise so inhuman, scary, brutal n over human limit. if i tell to u or everybody whose never learn silat, nobody believe it. try type on you tube: Malaysian training methods 1/3 - Bones VS Heavy stick,Silat Body Conditioning n Pentjak Silat Gayong 70's Training - Part II n other video that related to silat training. these only several training that u can see. other training are more worst than that.

  • in benjang pencak silat video also teach how to escape from armbar. moreover the opponent who use armbar is attacked n locked back. in silat no have dead end technics. its have the other technics to deal with them.

  • u can find how to escape from armbar in video from late mahaguru herman suwanda if im not mistake from his seminar video at 1996 part 3 or part 4.

  • try type silat harimau, pak hj syofian nadar, benjang silat, benjang n rikesan, herman suwanda n bambang suwanda on you tube. some n most part of their silat is more focus on ground fight such as grabbing, choking, joint lock, wrestling,takedown and grappling. u can find their methods n techniques so different than bjj, jiujitsu, judo, sport wrestling etc.

  • mmtxaz, u are right but it not wrong to learn much more as u can. one silat generally have many elements from stand, medium n ground fighting, involve striking, grabbing, grappling, wrestling, takedown, weapon, choking, joint lock, inner power, nerve point etc. there are a lot type of silat which each of them more focus on one of or some part of or all of those elements .

  • If you want to learn real groundfighting, study BJJ.

  • @mmtxaz agreed. There is just so much here that needs work. The guy mounted him and he's busy blocking punches and kicks.. All he has to do is bridge towards a right or left direction over his shoulders and he'd buck the guy off. I want ot see this guy prove his trainign by putting on some gear and actually going at it live, i bet he'd get beat

  • @Stifledsubmission man, guru maul just show us the movement here, he didnt fight back because he just show you the movement, got it?. in silat we use to deal with multiper attacker, and we fight back with one/two lethal blow that disable the attackers. in silat when we dealing with the multiper attacker you dont want to waste your energy or time. yes this he just want to show how to move here.

  • @mmtxaz Shut the hell up. You are a simple minded arrogant fool. This master is displaying the type of groundfighting you can use effectively in the street. BJJ is only applicable for using in a grappling tournament or UFC.

  • @ILoveBritneyBoykin you do realize that claiming BJJ is not usefull outside of mma and grappling tournaments is just as ignorant and arrogant of a statement as the ones the guy you're responding to makes? bjj has its roots in traditional japanese martial arts that have been tested in war. plus grasie jiu jitsu was originally meant for self defense. 

  • Might want to look at the videos of the Marine Corps bringing the MMA guys to try out their MCMAP program.

    Thats what happens when you throw a combative martial art at a MMA guy. They get their ass beat. And last I checked, this was indeed a *combative* martial art.... just like MCMAP

  • You fool, silat is not slow this video is shown just to demonstrate it, peace bro : )

  • You fool, silat is not slow this video is shown just to demonstrate it, peace bro : )

  • Some of this is great, some looks optimistic, I of course wasn't there, but normally when you are downed the kicks and stomps come in with great force. the movement was really good the escaping and such, the knife defenses..

  • First 20 seconds looks like a sitting kind of capoeira ginga

  • it all works well when its in slow motion

  • the best

  • this is good for the street and street proofing

  • At first his work from the guard looks like a B-boy 6-step. I like the way he teaches multiple attackers and ankle-picks whoever gets close.

  • This is some brilliant stuff on being on the ground against multiple standup opponnants.

  • mma is a ring sport made up of other ring sports and competion sports with rules and judges. the fighters know there opponents and have time to get ready 4 the fight. not sure you can judge them against each other. and why would any normal person need there martial art to work in cage or ring. i dont have any of them in the streets where i live. and we have only seen 2 and a half minutes of a seminar which lasted hours. not sure you can judge its merit on that. good video. keep open mind

  • @rikimaru84 This shit is nonsense. A BJJ blue belt or High School wrestler would kill this huckster

  • @mmtxaz  i am sure your comments come from a well rounded wealth of personal experience. one question though. where do all the mma techniques have there root?

  • @rikimaru84 BJJ Wrestling, boxing, and kickboxing mostly.

  • @mmtxaz kickboxing comes from karate and muay thai. the rest are as old as the hills. and are you telling us that every technique in bjj is a winner?

  • @mmtxaz Fedor doesn't train bjj.

  • @mmtxaz Judo, sambo, and catch wrestling kills bjj. 99% of the time. And their practitioners doesn't have this kind of attitude like yours.

  • @mmtxaz 99% of the time? Where do you get your data?

  • @mmtxaz 'bjj vs silat' ??

    watch?v=wH9tARcaqr0

    watch?v=X2Qat8o6B0I

  • @rikimaru84 This vid is crap. sorry, but it's terrible technique and anyone who paid for it got suckered.

  • @mmtxaz

    if you dont get it its ok. just relax and move on with your life, i will try to do the same. enjoy the little things and try not to take everything at face value. got luck and take care friend.

  • Fuck MMA. The streets are the ultimate proving grounds. not some controlled fight in a confined area.

  • MMA techniques are the best of the best. Theoretical shit that has not been proven is pointless to practice.

  • Silat is a battlefield art. These techniques have been refined in actual combat against foreign invaders and warring tribes. Not in a padded octagon surrounded by a rope and monitored by a referee.

  • So your saying MMA only works on highly trained fighters but not against common people on the streets? Makes no sense what so ever.

  • You're the one going on about MMA. I was talking about Silat. But to address your question, I'm sure an MMA fighter could demolish the average guy in the street. But against an experienced Silat fighter, I think he'd have a hard time.

  • It was tried in the first UFC, in the preliminary matches. The Silat guy got destroyed by a judo guy.

  • In a contest setting, most of what silat teaches would not be allowed. Twisting the head, breaking joints, stomping ankles, attacking the eyes, elbowing the neck, etc. In a true combat situation (not in a ring!) people revert to their training. The MMA guy would be trying to get a submission, while the Silat guy would destroy him.

  • MMA guys can do all that in real fights as well. It's not rocket science. And the shit in this video is ridiculous.

  • Comment removed

  • One man does not represent the whole art. If 1 MMA loses a fight does that mean all MMA guys cant win? Learn something idiot!

  • @mmtxaz

    Well for one, the Silat guy could of been low quality. The Judo guy could of been high quality. There's a million reasons why he lost.

    silat isn't a sparring art. A fight changes dramatically once you realize it's life or death. Usually the people who do MMA or some sport go shitfaced when they realize that little Billy is actually waiting to gouge out his eyes and skull fuck him

  • @plagusguy1 If silat does not have sparring, it's worthless. You have to spar and grapple in order to learn real fighting. In a real fight, your partner won't be there choreographing moves with you. And an MMA or BJJ fighter would stomp a silat fighter

  • @mmtxaz It doesn't have sparring in the sense of tournaments like MMA and Karate. We silat practictioners do an extreme amount of training to get to where we are. Silat is a very aggressive and brutal art. Silat is one of the few arts that has lethal takedowns with nearly every technique. And for the record, I got into it with two MMA guys 3 months ago and I broke one's ankle and the other one got knocked out from an elbow to the jaw; MMA is really over-rated.

  • @plagusguy1 Silat involves a bunch of choreographed movemnets. you can't learn to fight this way. MMA and BJJ are also agressive and brutal. And I don't believe your story for one second.

  • @mmtxaz How many Silat classes have you been to? Or have you just been a youtube troll and watched movies on it? Check out Silat Mubai videos or why don't you go visit uncle in Colorado for an AKTS class.

    &

    I don't care if you believe it or not; i dont lose sleep over it.

  • @plagusguy1 Good that you don't lose sleep because i think you are full of shit

  • @mmtxaz Never seen silat sparring? Check out my channel. I have full contact silat fights and all kind of silat sparring. Thanks. :)

  • The best In the MMA ring ONLY. Against only ONE unarmed opponnant.

  • MMA is better for multiple opponents than this nonsense.

  • As if YOU know! *LOL* ... Dreamer.

  • This instructor's hair style has evolved. I take a queue from that.

  • This is a good practicing method but on the street you better get back up quickly as all the attckers will be coming all at once and from many directions with not just kicks but bats, bottles and knives. Best method is to get up and run when being attacked by a group, when they walk away follow them and then you can stealth kill them one by one after, way of the Ninja.

  • Great impacting ground work!

    but the fundamental question remains

    'Will it work in the MMA?'

    By the way is it legal to break people's legs and hit them in the groin?

  • Why is that the fundamental question??? Seems pretty irrelevant to me, since I am not competing in MMA, nor are 99.99% of people in the world.

  • haha.. i don even know why i watched this video.. but the fundamental question question is, "will it work in the mma?" hahahahahahahaha... superrrrrrrrrrrr fundamental....

  • Will it work in the MMA? Gee, I don't know. Do you have people coming after you with a knife in the MMA?

  • inspiring

  • lol

  • Nice demo. I noticed asian (MALAY) martial arts are very similar. This one is similar to the FMA Dumog.

  • yeah we are the same, champa (central and southern vietnam, somewhere part of cambodia), southern thailand (formerly langkasuka and patani raya), philipiphine (where in the past the sulu, mindanao and manila sultanate being exist here), malaysia, indonesia, singapore and brunei are brothers and sisters. many of the ancient kingdoms were exist here in the past. all of these kingdoms are come and gone and always change of their borders and size.

  • It's a bit of a stretch saying we're brothers and sisters. And as far as empires are concerned, there has never been one large empire that covered all of South East Asia. What connections there are have only been made through trading.

  • well as bruce lee said... we humans have only 2 arms and 2 legs... how diff can all martial art styles be right?.. (:

    Anyway... SSBD is really good stuff. Really convinced me to pay more attention to silat. My first opinion of silat are the practicioners dancing around the opponenet doing cool arm movements aka. wasting time... and the technique they finally pull off at the end are nothing more like normal punch and kicks. But after witnessing SSBD... i guess im TOTALLY wrong bout silat.. O.O

  • 1:58 what did he touch underneath the mans chin? He was in real pain

  • i think he "fishhooks" the guy i.e. puts his fingers in his mouth, not between the teeth, but pullin on the soft flesh at the corner of the lip and cheek.

  • lol are you kidding me? when you in training, you have to deal with pain

  • actually, no he's clamping down on the pressure points behind and under the jaw and under the ear. it's pretty painful...

  • Silat is one of the best martial art compare others. It gives hundreds or maybe thousands skills that people never expected. What i meant are Silat can do different counter attacks. Mr Suffian only shows some of the skills which are brilliant moves for those who wanted to learn. Congrats Mr Suffian, I hope i can meet you somewhere and share ideas.

  • cool moves

  • this is my favourite because im from brunei ...from wan work at jesselton point

    sabah Malaysia

  • allright try that in a real life scenario i promise to help pay your hospital bill....

  • alright, try kicking him in a real life scenario and i'll help pay YOUR hospital bill...

  • Very good. MMA could learn from this if they are open minded

  • I suppose from his point of view the real stuff gets shown on closed seminars.

  • no one wants to fight someone with a knife. However if you believe you don't stand a chance then you probally don't. Too many people with no training have survived to tell someone with a lot of training you can't fight someone with a knife.

  • Questo Maestro è bravissimo.un problema nella didattica delle AM è simulare un'entrata sufficientemente realistica per mostrare il VERO valore della tecnica e di chi la applica.Fa bene l'italiano a "richiamare"i suoi allievi ad essere più decisi.

  • its not like any of this is real on the streets, no takes turns kicking u like that, they stomp u all at the same time. the only thing u can do is cover ur head and dont leave ur neck open which could be fatal, and prottect ur nads. this is a fun thing to do with friends tho, if u wanna pretend to be a ninja

  • While I can see your point there are things that a person can do while fighting from the floor.

    

    The techniques are there but to be able to use them takes good body conditioning.

  • This was a SEMINAR! He is showing ideas and concepts. What is done in real life may be different- or not. Unless you are filming a real life engagement- it is all speculation. I am glad that he has shown what he has shown and didn't keep it to himself or demand large payments to share it.

    Well done

  • u need to grow up but i understand u from europe it make sens now everything is impossible and a dream there teaching law enforcment has nothing special about it they know nothing for most of em dont even know how to fight as for street fight no never been in that i leave that 4 people like u who think some one outthere is after them .

  • He will be in New York this March, and Miami sometimes in the middle of this year. He will in your country, travelling across the ocean so hopefully yr not one of "those talk big but no action" kind of utuber, which I bet u r. I also bet that u will be giving me a long reply after this, like the previous one telling me the story of ur life :)

  • paul vunak says if u see a knife dont fight run or hide but dont be stupid u need to watch video"myth of knife defense "paul vunak says not to get involved for many reason u gonna get cut and hurt .

  • video is called"knife defense in martial arts is a myth"type it watch it and grow up a little

  • law enforcment will tel you that give em ur money dont try to be a hero thats for cashiers at night gas stations etc.self defense is be smart sufian beladiri is an expert at what he does sure one time we gave classes to police dept pure jiujitsu then they ask for other stuff like street situation i told them im no cop only a police officer could adapt jiujitsu to whatever u have out there i dont know i dont want 2 give false impression i only teach jiujitsu from stand to ground.

  • The funny thing, is that Guru Maul doesnt even bother to convince anyone, his full year seminar schedule n the number of ppl internationally attending it speaks for itself. so ur 1 of "those" on utube who claims to teach law enforcement, having trained in many martial arts n to have been in many street fights eh? Too bad they dont teach u humility. Why should I prove u wrong? If u have the nerve to say something, then why not say it to the intructors face, is distance and money yr excuse?

  • While I dont doubt Silat Suffian Bela Diri's ability you have to admit he isn't showing techniques under a realistic conditions of seasoned street fighters/ people who make a habit of attacking people in numbers on the street.

    More like the attackers might be drunk and don't really know what they are doing.

  • Comment removed

  • its like telling people you have to learn self defense someone out there is after you!!!im not paranoid man if some one wants to get he will no matter who you are be it bruce lee i do jiujitsu cause i love it and like to compete against other jiujitsu guys to see who outsmart the other its fun,but i dont take it as this is it im good to go in street sure ill have some edge like not freeking out im used to beeing jumped that said i could get hurt to 4 sure.street is all surprise

  • scrutinize doesnt mean he know nothing or he is nobody i ve seen many video of hibut m on stand up he is very good no doubt he is who he is but this ground stuff he was showing in no way someone will approach you the way it is sategd i train brazilian jiujitsu 10 years now we conducted a sparriong session w more than one opponent even if they were lower belt less experienced i could nt and nobody else could handle more than one oponent obviously in video every one take a turn on hitting him.

  • all u have todo is scrutinize the video you can see everyone of them is lifting his leg up so to avoid the sensei cause thats it they paid their seminars it has to work !!!!,nobody is agressive enough they are conditionned from what is suppose to happen they already know the out come of it and thats sad good luck in the street cause nobody will approach like that.

  • ballistikarena, You say scrutinize this video, have u seen his other videos? This video is just 1 option not the whole art. Do u even know who yr talking about? He travels the world conducting seminars, he will be in the US 3 times in 2009. Why dont you pop along and show him how to do it right.

  • how much is his seminar !?if its close to my area why not you could prove me wrong i dont pretend nothing ive trained in savate first french style of kick boxing then muay thai and jiujitsu every sport has a whole now on knife defense i know nada except some move of deflecting etc step sides blablabla i know for sure not to fight some one with a knife and im a true believer that self defense consist mainly on knowing ur surrounding be aware of certain places certain times and ull be fine

  • pure , conspesific , earth quake . desolating

    virulent ........... it's heart-to-heart

    i rael feel it

  • I'm not sure at all as to the effectiveness of these tactics in real scenarios or just against a serious opponent.

    However, there's evident skill and an interesting angle-of-approach to the problem of ground-defense.

  • bravo. selam TURKEY

  • Maul is the real deal, dude. Maul shows them the drills and the applications. That's what training is all about. Speaking of Silat, Kali and ground fighting. They are not compassion of arts. It's a matter of life and death. And, If you don't believe it then I encourage you to challenge them. This is not a UFC fight thing. This is real. Good luck!

  • @filipinoxwarrior Someone trained in cage fighting would kill this joker. This is pitiful technique

  • i hope he using this only as a drill...and it doesnt have nothing to do with mma i liked his videos but this is farfetched

  • Have u read the description? It would be good if u read the description, it says "drilled repetativley to instill muscle memory" it is a drill. Its funny that yr making comments but dont know how to differential between drills and application. Do MMA fighters actually break and pound thier training partners in training? no they drill and flow.

  • i recommend you to read again..."defend yourself on the ground without resorting to grappling with the attacker"..."Intended for multiple attackers you have to be mobile & cant afford to be entangled with one person"...and truth is you dont want to get stomped and be sorround by multiple attackers...it would be better to run away or seek a oppurtunity to flee

  • Now yr picking and choosing what you want to understand, try reading & look at the big picture."Accidents happen, you could fall or slip while defending yourself or trying to avoid a dangerous situation, you might sprain your ankle or broke your toe in a fight and you cant stand up."."If your legs & feet are not injured, it is advisable that u get up as soon as possible to fight on your feet or flee if the situation needs for you to do so." what ever yr saying, its in the description.

  • so basically whatever yr trying to say, the instructor has the same thing in mind, The techinques are just "options". I see no discussion here, yr just agreeing with what the instructor is writing in his description.

  • this isnt real...they got good stand up game and knife fighting but this is ridiculous...

  • The funny thing is MMA fighters consults him and guys like Frank Shamrock (5x UFC champion), Bas Rutten and others regards him highly. If a MMA champs says he is one of the best, then he must be doing something right. Go to his site and read his testimonials.

  • yeah right the first time i saw the video i saw that he had some good views and basis on the technique...but truth is that in the video he is defending against multiple oppents and that is what is unreal street self defense you should go the ground...this technique may work 1 on 1 not against 5,6,7 oponnents and in a real fight you can get hit by anyone anytime without knowing...

  • VERY NICE!!!!!Like it a lot!

  • I know these are just the base techniques and i am sure they are functional as time goes on and a student learns the reflex development methods. It looks a little like Kuntao Dumpag ground fighting methods in some ways so i understand what you are doing here. I like it...great video!

  • Ridicolous! He defends against fake attacks! And all that ground work...in a street he would be killed instantly

  • It would help if you read the description before commenting mate. Its just an option, not set techniques. It would be a good idea to know who yr talking about and watch his other videos 1st before saying anything. Whats really ridculous are closed minded ppl that jugde something by just watching a short 3 minutes clip.

  • It clearly states that they are only basic techniques!!

  • yeah word ...like ppl would go slo mo on his ass...this niggas never watched pride fc...lol

  • I wouldn't discount his techniques. They seem like it might be functional at full speeds against the average person on the street. I'm assuming they are going slow and making it look like a dance because usually that is the best way to develope muscle memory during training.

  • You CLEARLY have no idea who you are talking about.

  • I'm an actual ground fighter in competition AND on the street. All documented. I know my shit works because I use it against RESISTING opponents all the time. This man would get stomped the fuck out in a real fight.

  • Another self proclaimed "know it all", just bcos he entered a few "local" small town competitions and "claims" to be in a few scuffles in highschool, he thinks he knows what fighting is all about. It would be good if you knew WHO you are disrespecting before showing your ignorance.

  • If you go to his website deadlines.. youll see links to his heratige.. ansestory... and youll see lots of high grade blackbelt instructors praise... of course you would he wouldnt put negativity on his page.

    But I being a 2x blackbelt in krava maga and jujitsu have attended his seminar.. and Maul is very knowledgeable and honourable.

  • DarkSpider, I know Maul, I took lessons a yr agi with him before i moved away, He is the real deal. I have nothing but respect for his ability. I was just commenting on what os3y3ris said.

  • i like this video because i like fight....

  • thats not ground fighting.... -.- ground fighting is when you fight in ground like with judo.... but you just hold the person in the floor and do moves..

  • That is GROUND FIGHTING - aka fighting while on the ground/floor - good for handicapped people or if someone just knocked out your legs.

  • THE STUDENTS WERE NOT TRYING TO KICK HIS FACE IN. THEY WERE PLAYFULLY GLANCING FOOT TOUCHING HIS HANDS.

    does that make sense. therefor all the training showed here is useless because it doesnt function in a fully resisting environment. Who cares who he is disrespecting when the person is ignorant enough to teach these BS tactics. Its harmful to the students. PLEASE STOP!!

  • ... you learn safely but with realism.. what would be the point in him showing up and beating up the students? sure they'll learn but there has to be a point where you substitute realism for saftey.. go to one of his seminars... he travels the world. then youll learn to be non-ignorant yourself.

  • wow...simple minded, you realize these are JUST the basics of Silat right? Of course they aren't going to kick the guys face in...but did you see that while he was on the ground he wasn't breaking their kneecaps or ankles after each kick? It's called respect for one another and you're not going to teach anyone by injuring them. Of course you can show them a fraction of the actual pain so that they learn what actually hurts and what doesn't. It's all body mechanics and muscle memory.

  • What is it with people giving negative comments? Wait, what am I saying, this is the internet.

    So, the techniques shown here are actually for motion training purposes, not to do them "as they are written". Much of it is simply consideration of new ideas. It requires an open mind, though, and it's not for beginners. If you don't understand Silat, you won't understand this. What I like about Guru Maul is he believes in what he is doing, not just throwing fluff out there to fill video time.

  • Bagus! Very interesting drills. This is my favorite of all your videos. I'd love to see more of your ground techniques. While they share some things in common with Pamacan and Harimau, they also have a unique flavor and some unusual elements. Thank you for sharing.

  • Its an honor to recieve a comment from Guru Robert McKay - Jagabaya Instructor rank in Silat Mande Muda - licensed to teach, through the Suwanda Academy in West Java, Indonesia.

    Thank you

  • I'm sorry but that defense from full mount is just silly. There is no way you could defend yourself like that its been show time after time in NHB events.

  • daroosta, most of what the instructor does here is illegal in NHB, you cant fish hook, you dont hit the groin, and obviously they never fight more than 1 person in NHB. Its also shown time after time that there are no referees to stop the fight if you tap out in the streets.

  • You've never been fully fish hooked, you dont train full force groin shots, and I highly doubt the instructor has ever used this is the "Streets". I am claiming that the full mount when someone is throwing downward punches is completely ridiculous. As well ball shots were originally allowed in NHB events guess what not as effective as everyone thought.

  • The instructors is coming to the US in July, I think he would be more then willing if you want to show how impossible it is. Like BJJ, before UFC, everyone groundwork was stupid if used on the streets but evedently it was used by the Gracies in Brazil for more than 60 years. Just because YOU have never seen it, doesnt mean it doesnt work. Its like saying Micheal Jordan cant "air" bcos you have seen no one else in the NBA jumping that far.

  • I'm huge supporter of groundfighting this however with the techniques displayed are fanciful at best.

  • Silat Suffian ni ade kat Malaysia ke? Tak pernah dengar pun. Tapi tekniknya sangat hebat.

  • I think these methods r omly for a while, when u are on the ground. If u had a chance to get up , u better get up. cause it is risky to stay on the ground in a real fight. If this is ur real fighting method ( stay on ground ) , then u guys are in a deep trouble

  • AWR, u are ablsolutely right this drills are for transitions before standing up or as the description says, if you are injured that u cant stand up. Watch this instructors other videos, he fights in all ranges. It would if you could watch all the videos, THEN post a comment.

  • billysue, stop talking out of yr ass. The more you post, the more it shows that u dont know anything about martial arts, so dont claim to know how to box, wrestle or groundfight.

  • Its funny how billysue is making personal attacks on the instructor. It just shows how ignorant he really is.

  • billysue and darkmaniac - the instructor is invited by instructors to conduct seminars all over the world, come to any of his seminars and test him for yourselves. I would love to see you guys resist. better still post a video of yrself and let us judge how good u are. or r u one of those ppl who only talks out of thier asses.

  • 1:37/1:45 ... Hmm yeah.. those guys were just enraged ! good thing he blocked those vicious punchs and kicks ! PHEW !

  • the man with the Knife was realy unreal..The Knife is never holden right this

  • Comment removed

  • Yup if he wanted to he could but he couldnt - thats the point of this video, self defense. But watching your video, u'd rather believe in mutants.

  • well if it was a real fight ofcourse the silat guy, would be slamming them in the nuts.

  • Yet another nice clip, brother. Keep it up!

  • Thank you Guro, its always an honor to recieve a comment from you. Guro Heriford; Founder of American Martial Arts Academy, MidWest Regional Director of the World Kali Silat Society USA, Guro in Sina Tirsia Wali, Master Rank in Karate and American Jiu Jitsu.

  • Plus, anyone aware of their center or capable of feinting without falling will tell you Aikido demos (not commenting on the art) look fake as fuck.

  • Filipino, don't lie

  • wow impressed!!

  • Looks fine when done in SLOW MOTION like that, but wouldbe nice to see the "attackcers" attacking more realisticly and the defence being used against such attacks

  • Read the description, u'll get the idea.

  • The description also makes a lot of sense. I'm not saying that kind of stuff WON'T work, but until it's actually been shown in, at the very least, a training scenario where the attackers are more realistic rather than slow motion, it's just a theory

  • Im one of his students,3 weeks ago i was in Birmingham, and was attacked by 2 drugged up asian men, i fell to the ground after i got hit in the head, then i used the techniques shown here. To keep the story short one guy couldnt stand up, the other limped away and i called the police. I was amazed at what i did. Guro Maul is the REAL DEAL, he teaches no theory. The best thing is to attend any of his classes and experience it for yourself, rather than watching a 3 minute video.

  • I agree the best thing is to learn from an actual person rather than watch a video. And I'm not disputing what you say, but it would be nice to see a training scenario where the "attackers" are not acting in slow motion - after all, if it really does work, shouldn't the teacher be able to deal with that? (and I'm not saying real hits, just more realistic ones - not slow motion ones)

  • No disrespect intended nor taken. The short clip is frm an instructional seminar session. All the attendees are NEW practitioners. Look at the floor, its not padded. Faster movements will result in faster takedowns, as the description states. if yr used to silat takedowns, its very difficult to breakfall from them. Using proper safety facilities he has done them in realtime speed against 5 of his senior students while sitting on the ground.

  • Superapplefrog, its impossible to explain everything in a 3 minute video, if u ahve doubts and want further practical explaination, its advisable that u attend the class. Talking about it doesnt help unless u do physical training

  • By the way the two guys who attacked me were NOT doing it in slow motion. I have the cuts and scuff from hitting the concrete on my forehead and arms to show for it. The movements saved me from harms way, thats why im standing by it.

  • deadlines, if that's a class for new people, fair enough - but WHY, if the techniques are so good, is there no video that shows the guy defending himself against attacks that are not in slow motion? And yeh, class is best but as any decent instructor will tell you, it's best to watch a lesson first - and although it's not quite the same, a realistic demonstration is better than a slow motion one

  • I think yr missing the concept of the video. As u said "it's best to watch a lesson first" but this clip is NOT a lesson, its a 3 minute short clip. Yr trying to judge&conclude on what is realistic*not by watching a 3 minute video. As ive informed u, i&many others saw the Guro done it with realtime speed vs 5 senior students & ive used it in a real situation myself which for me doesnt get any more realistic than that.

  • if in doubt, attend the class, watch it realtime or experience it, there is no substitute for physical training. If yr not interested in coming to have a look or experiencing the class, then why even have this discussion.

  • I'm not trying to judge anything. But on this website, I've seen an aikido demonstration shown fast against three attackers - so why can't the creator of this video put a fast demonstration up rather than a slow-motion one? And I'm not going to try to explain myself further because you're just failing to understand

  • Superapplefrog, If u have questions about the techniques shown, why dont u just send a private messege to the instructor? I doubt anyone on youtube would put a video out just because YOU want to see something. And trying to compare silat with aikido is like comparing soccer with basketball; silat is a blade art and aikido is an empty hand martial art.

  • I'm not actually ASKING anyone to put on such a video - simply suggesting that putting a slow motion demon online is kinda silly - and I'm not trying to compare arts, just pointing out that if aikido can do a proper demo then it's very strange that the silat demon is very slow
