[TreyM1994]

This is why we run shit.

[xDvsking666x]

ok how come only Spec ops are trained this but not each branch?

[masteradnin]

@xDvsking666x Not all of the branches need it. Neither do a lot of the MOS's in each branch.

[joe5965]

damn son tht is scary

[laslos3]

I am glad that dudes on our side! lol

[mcolln]

0:59 holy s&%#.

[Ronin6575]

Why are their faces blocked out?

[formalz]

@Ronin6575 Dude, these are night ops operatives by now. CIA killers and hardcore black op personnel.

[xmagerange]

@Ronin6575 So their not targeted by terrorists, identified and captured or families hurt back at home. I think

[metalwaffle94]

@Ronin6575 cuz special forces members are anonymous for their own safety

[shanetheninja101]

@Ronin6575 there active duty... spec ops... they cant have there identeties shown.

[takakonobe]

@Ronin6575 SF dude they know to much shit about operations abroad

[ethiohusteljr]

@Ronin6575 some special forces are not allowed to reveal their identities

[karateslaginnek]

Green Berets man! born to kill period.

Peace.

[rex2074]

that was some nice equipment - I especially like the hanging large wooden dummy and the neck breaker - Market that stuff - Or hire me to do it ! Lets get some Recession beating going here !

[TalonIIV]

i can't wait to start this program when i enter into the millitary

[nachoKamacho666]

i was in the program when i was a fort brag... its very intense this is no joke.

[escueladeleyi]

@nachoKamacho666 I do not doubt you, because they are being taught the best and fastest way to disbable or kill someone, so I guess its not a joke!!!!

[TKMSeznam12]

@nachoKamacho666 Fort Bragg you mean?

[Byakuya79]

This art is new to me. Master Savelli apparently teaches mind-striking(huc chung - highest form of Kun Tao) to the military along with its' healing abilities. Karate has Dim Mak, but from my understanding the beginning stages of Dim Mak is healing touches before a disciple is taught it's death touches. Whatever the case is, Master Savelli is one of the few Americans back in the 60's to break off from tradition to teach American's in times of combat. Just like Bruce Lee did to teach who he wants.

[seeyasoon52]

wow

[Striza]

0:30 jesus.... wish they taught u that at parris island

[SonOfMMA]

That was some crazy stuff.

[MayhemEA]

Good training, for practitioners of all martial-artists.

[PARR53]

(cont) its always good to know what to do in the event you wind up on the ground but I feel the 1st to levels of MAC training teach the soldier to actually take the fight to the ground instead of giving them the option to keep the confrontation standing. I feel MAC is kinda backwards in its approach. True most fights end up on the ground but 100% of them start standing up so why not do your best to stay on your feet where you can still have an eye out for another attacker possibly?

[PARR53]

(cont) im happy to see our Special Forces expanding out of MAC and back into more traditional martial arts as these are the true combat martial arts designed strictly for life and death situation. MAC is great but tends to be kinda of sporterized in its approach until you get into the more advanced levels. The techniques do work well however but rolling around on the ground is the last place I want to be on the battlefield or in urban warfare.

[bobbytmathew]

ok seriously, how did the dude break the slabs. im not aware that spec ops do iron palm training or use dit da jow.

[JIMICRYED9090]

@bobbytmathew lol that's why it's called special operations nobody has any idea how they train, that's why their a big deal =)

[tstxcore]

@bobbytmathew I'm really surprised this was even posted on youtube

[AkerGraham]

@tstxcore

yea

[Protector185]

Good stuff

[pranakhan]

I'm confused by the explanations I have heard of this art. You can strengthen the mind to resist pain, but that doesn't mean you won't break your hand striking a stone. The body would have to be conditioned along with the mind to allow for instinct to apply the technique instantaneously. Is the physical training part of a separate martial art these soldiers are taught? Where does this system originate from?

[animolar]

That's something you don't learn in most martial arts classes... how to break someones neck from behind and exactly how much force... much less practice it. Whoa. Props to these guys for keeping us safe. Go Army.

[noodlez4me]

@animolar know waht you mean i take kenpo and escrima

:) these guys are badass its good to learn from somewhere not commercialized

[deefy98]

wow

[xjxm]

Tactics to subdue and eliminate. This isn't solely self-defense.

[bobbytmathew]

so do these spec ops people learn iron palm or something i saw them breaking concrete at the end

[TheJasek7]

sweet

[Richdanahuff]

The point to Kun Tao is the strength of the mind and how it affects you physically that is what is taught here. The willingness to ignore pain, torture and take punishment when required is essential for survival in a POW situation.

[Micelli1987]

Will this make you want to be special forces? part of their training is getting tortured. This is just one of several hundred excersizes SF does, some of which include living, breathing opponants...that DO hit back. Its not all bricks.

[vain2765]

@Micelli1987 Tortured? Really.... I don't think so. I'm in SF (7th SFG) at Bragg and never been tortured not that I know about.

[thomasknash]

@vain2765 I believe she is referring to SERE training.

[81carlos]

@vain2765 Hooah that. I was in the 82nd 2/319th AFAR 7 years ago.Right up the street from you guys. I had friends who were SF and my father was SF.I don't remember them mentioning anything about torture. I learned a few things from you guys though.One was not to let someone get too close to me,unless I want something like the above video shows to happen.That and not to let my opponent get ahold of my clothes. Once one of these guys gets their hands on you,it's over...

[pezilla123]

yeah usually people dont stand still. just cuz they can break stuff doesnt make it efficient.. usually ur opponent is moving and if the enemy had a gun they would shoot on the spot nice video but im just saying

[AdrianAwesome69]

makes you want to be special forces

[BothaBoeta]

is it so secret his face needs to be blurred...?

[Micelli1987]

@BothaBoeta Their identities have to be protected. If they are caught in mission and captured they won't have any links to where they are from that way.

[dumaznbum]

@BothaBoeta well because of ongoing operations most sof operatives must be "protected" , its a security risk i guess

[Mauricelash]

cool stuff. Great their Americans!

[STRIKERBOY101]

Its all in the mind ladys and gents

[rhizen000]

i agree 100% mind over matter

[DrMotorDude]

@STRIKERBOY Exactly, See the post 6:54 long (still shot with tree guys standing at Camp Mackall.)

[Arcane1Soldier]

Very Good, but Brick dont hit back.

[Michael326]

@Arcane1Soldier If you hit someone's face with the same force needed to break a brick, I don't think they'll be hitting back any time soon.

[pablo13zero]

Some guys can take a punch, depends on the individual there are just some guys that are born to fight.

[pezilla123]

@pablo13zero yeah

[pezilla123]

@Michael326 some people can take a punch ive been hit in the head with a bat and i was still standing and was able to fight bad some people have "glass jaws" other people dont

[Richdanahuff]

@pezilla123 True but what Guy Savelli teaches is if your mind is weak your body is weak if your mind is strong and resistant you will be able to take it and ignore pain. The point of this training is not the heavy hands those are techniques but the minds ability to tolerate. SERE school was designed around what makes a POW survive and take the torture and pain. The mind can make the body to incredible things there are things accomplished that has no real explanation.

[Richdanahuff]

@Michael326 The point to the training is your mind and will to take it. The mind can make men do incredible things war has proved it over and over. SERE school is a study of the will of a man to function and survivce tortuous conditions most people cannot imagine.

[breakerace6]

really? hit one the wrong way and not have it break and tell me it doent hit back.

[Micelli1987]

lol except part of special ops training is getting tortured. Quite literally.

[usergreg1498]

@Micelli1987 "tortured" perhaps in the broad sense used by groups like Amnesty International and HRW...which would make most college frat hazi...'scuse me, "initiations..." a sort of torture. I knew guys guys when I was in the MArines who did SERE school; my older brother, a Marine aviator, did also. I understand is sucks to go through, not the kinda thing you would expect to see as a recreation option on a cruise ship, and it takes will and discipline to endure...(cont'd)

[michaelfannin]

@usergreg1498 I learned these skills when I was in SFQC in the Army, I am an infantry Green Beret, not all Green Berets are required advanced combatives coarses but I specialize in CQB so I took the coarse to further my knowledge.

[asian714cali]

@michaelfannin cqb still got many technique and training from the oriental

[DinoSwede]

@Micelli1987 it's necessary and it improves your psycological endurance and stamina
