On that Forged in Fire show he is an example of everything that is cheesy and fraudulent about martial arts. I would love to see this charlatan actually fight against some HEMA swordsmen.

Filipinos power

Guro Marcaida's lesson on realism applies equally to empty hand application as well as weapons. He is cautioning the class about the dangers of bringing textbook drill movements into actual combat. Movement in drills are often fluid, exaggerated and telegraphed. As a result we become too accustomed to them and condition ourselves to behave as if it was actual combat. However in actual combat movements should always be quick, direct and non-telegraphed. A flick of the wrist to slap the end of a stick into the opponent's eye as opposed to wide looping strikes. The tap-tap-tap cadence of siniwali drills should be replaced with simultaneous parries and attacks in every strike. The mood and the intent is completely different. The training becomes alive because the intent is alive.

It was fun 😊😊

He's not cocky or delusional, he knew almost everything about the craft. He's admirable in all ways.

Wow, great demonstration!

He has a fantastic personality that he uses to make students comprehend the techniques for real life situations. Best example is in this video. Arts is a universal language.

Watching Doug is amazing. His motions are so fluid yet purposeful. If I ever made him mad, I am running!

Watching this makes me appreciate the pure mathematics of fighting. I never learnt this variation of double stick but I was taught Florentine (European two sword fighting) that as far as I am aware had never come in contact with the Filipino two stick style but has very similar stances and movements!

Filipino here... we considered sinawali or what you called heaven(from where you are) as a demo or a drill where you develop eye and hand coordination... the purpose of it is not for fighting its just boosting your senses in anticipation of possible position of strikes or attacks... Doug marcaida created a system where he simplify the techniques being tough by generations of stick fighters here in the philippines for the purpose of self defense... since we all know that stick fighting here in the philippines has many branches( either in mastery in disarming, sports and even the way of killing... if you will see here in the philippines there are many way how to fight with sticks.. some dont use body armors or what we call live stick fighting (like MMA where the person who surrender or knockout will lossed)... and there is an ancient game of masters where they are fighting with a blind fold with a use of real swords or called here (sundang/kris or itak) sorry for my bad english....

It may not be a "magic stick" but he sure as hell makes it look magical!

i could watch Doug all day. he sure had a gift to teach and teaches so so well!

It's good to see Doug finally slipping away from the structured stances and movements found in modern arnis and kali, it's good to see his evolution is taking him down the right mindset that fighting is spontaneous, erratic and your most relaxed position is your fighting stance, its how you choose to utilize your biomechanics and your weapon's physics that makes your deadly - not the techniques. Refreshing to see...I also blade fight similar. It's nice to see that even with different paths, we realize the same thing. :)

Doug really tried to do his best to explain some principles despite some language barrier. It's great to know that FMA is being spread by many of my kababayans around the world. Mabuhay kayong lahat!

5 years old and still a sikk lesson. Props to the volunteer. To go up without even speaking the same language takes heart.

It was an ACTUAL martial arts class. I’ve studied M.A. for 25 years and I think it’s really cool to see a familiar Kind of student/sensei interaction, involving Mr. Marcaida. It’s in the Way he’s going about his explanations....it give me a bittersweet nostalgia for being a teachers "implement," for teaching the class. You oft end up flat on your back or upside down flying through the air, but there’s a humbling satisfaction to it. Plus it trains you how to take a hit! 😁 All of this is my Selfish and roundabout way of saying this video has greatly influenced and improved my respect for Mr. Marcaida.

Doug’s Technique is So Fluid and Relaxed .. I Love it!!

GN, thank you for sharing these kinds of content. I'm a newbie. I want to learn Kali properly despite my shyness in these kinds of stages. You keep giving me spark for me to train, and train properly, and practically. One thing I appreciate with your content is it always draws knowledge, wisdom and humility to a person. Respect is totally a given. Anyways, more power to you and your channel!

I've heard of master Marcaida somewhere although I'm not at all an efficianado or follower. I could watch him teach/demonstrate all day. I'm very impressed by the way he presents himself. A testament to martial arts. now to binge on more videos with him in them.

"You are always fighting." I loved that.

Doug is awesome. I love the way he teaches. So much enthusiasm but at the same time straight to the point. He knows how to keep it relaxed & simple.

I see a new Jedi warrior with double light sabers with this technique unstoppable.

One can carry a pair of drumsticks around everywhere and very few would realize that pair of drumsticks can be the most effective weapons known to man. Music can also be a very powerful motivator, through which the drummer and the drumsticks they wield can be the primary motivating force. If you fancy yourself an Escrima fighter, or dual stick fighter, consider practicing drumstick rudiments for wrist and arm development, as this can bring to you great control of over Time...bending it to your will. A key ingredient to managing a fight scenario. As this fellow pointed out, a stick fight should be as quick as possible, and gaining control over Time will let you slow down the moment to your advantage.

I love how the traditional martial arts is spreading in different countries, as an arnis player getting hit with a padded stick can fracture a bone or stings a lot, now what if it was a hard wooden stick. The traditional weapon before was blade but it was changed to sticks then to padded sticks

I have watched as much Forged in fire as i can. , I work nights so have to look for reruns, and Doug Mercaida shows how masterful and knowledgable he is in almost all episodes and does it without showing off.

I met Doug at a seminar he had in San Antonio, this is a good video that shows his teaching ability. I was mind blown his knowledge and the way he presents it. I was good with kick boxing , in 2 days he showed me how to use katambits with the exact same kick boxing sets I trained for yrs, because of that muscle memory and understanding it was so easy to relate it to what I knew. That knowledge was priceless but most of all its the way in which u transfer knowledge doug is so kind and soft spoken but he is truly the most dangerous individual I've ever met. Thats because of his knowledge

I was expecting him to say "I WILL KEEL".

It is good that someone reminds proper fighting.

he reminds me of my Aikido Sensei, a 7th Dan from Japan. When he would demonstrate a technique, he didn't just say "do this, do that", he would demonstrate what the purpose of the move is. example, If you want to get out of the way, then move out of the way, don't just stand there and try to deflect a blow when you can simply move out of the way.

now this is what the chinese said about a sword should be an extension of your own hand. this is what i used to do when i was younger and got into troubles, i applied this method to my fist as a weapon. even though i'm big postured and can easily overpower with strength alone, i'd prefer to misdirect/shock/lock my opponent with 1 hand just before i snap some momentum from a short swing of my elbow to my fist with my other hand. a combination of misdirection and a sneak jab is more damaging than an anticipated full blow. this works so much better with knuckle duster because i could replace the lost momentum from not using a full swing with the impact of a hard blunt steel/brass, not to mention i could strike with every part of the knuckle duster like the sides of my fist(plus it's much more intimidating when you have one knuckle duster extended to your face as a misdirection). there's only one catch though... you have to really memorize the reach of your snap/short swing/shovel with countless swings. the closest youtube video i could find similar to my style is from the demonstration from Luke Holloway on Raw Combat International channel. but he didn't use misdirection to lock/shock the opponent in place, instead he anticipate the attack and retaliate.

Of course sinawali/heaven 6 doesn't exactly apply in a fight. That is not what it is for. It is for training. What did Doug do many years ago when he was starting to learn FMA? You can bet that some of it was sinalwali and heaven 6. He can now incorporate years of technical learning into practical fighting without thinking about it. His body and mind are a coordinated fighting machine. Throughout you can see pieces of sinawali in his movements. Small pieces. Large pieces. It's amazing to watch him. People learning FMA should be told by their instructors early on that this sinawali or that heaven 6 are not techniques to fight with. They are instead methods used to learn FMA and to train FMA without hurting the trainees. What you learn/absorb as you train eventually helps you become a coordinated fighting machine. The Filipino warriors that developed and used these training methods didn't think that sinawali and heaven 6 were useless. It is a disservice to dismiss these training methods as useless. They serve a purpose.

Completely agree with what you are saying. But like you said many practitioners make the mistake of taking these training techniques as actual fighting techniques. We must apply them intellectually to an actual senerio not only relay on them.

Filipino here... we considered sinawali or what you called heaven(from where you are) as a demo or a drill where you develop eye and hand coordination... the purpose of it is not for fighting its just boosting your senses in anticipation of possible position of strikes or attacks... Doug marcaida created a system where he simplify the techniques being tough by generations of stick fighters here in the philippines for the purpose of self defense... since we all know that stick fighting here in the philippines has many branches( either in mastery in disarming, sports and even the way of killing... if you will see here in the philippines there are many way how to fight with sticks.. some dont use body armors or what we call live stick fighting (like MMA where the person who surrender or knockout will lossed)... and there is an ancient game of masters where they are fighting with a blind fold with a use of real swords or called here (sundang/kris or itak) sorry for my bad english....

That’s what he is emphasizing!! The point of Sinawali is to develop the reflex of attacking while defending and defending while attacking. He’s asking “why is Sinawali so important if it’s just going back and forth?” It’s like Chisau in Wing Chung.

Another awesome video!

Love it when philosophy is applied to combat. This idea can be applied to all martial arts, helped me gain a better insight into weapons.

Historically, the 2 sticks used to be machetes. When Spain conquest ed Philippines and occupied for 350 years the Spaniards outlawed the machetes and the Filipinos used sticks instead. This maybe the martial art that beheaded Magellan the first time Spaniards came to Philippines. Glad to see that we still have Filipinos practice our traditions.

They used shortswords rather than machetes to dual wield because it has more manueverability.
