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.

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

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

Of all the stuff I've seen, what this guy does is obviously working to me. It makes sense and cuts out all the fluff and gets to the point real fast and effectively. I think I finally found something I'd like to train in and go figure, there's only training in a few world cities and nothing close to here in Canada. Looks like the DVD is the only way but that is not the proper way to train in anything. You need someone there to work with and practice on. That sucks.

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!

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.

Congratulations for the video!!

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!

This was good viewing. Similarities between this and Krav Maga. Both are practical, functional and effective. They work.

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.

To be honest, this is very typical for a demo. You show students (and potential students) something fancy but when you drill, it's meat and potatoes. The school I trained at also do choreographed demos, and we always love watching them, but we drill basics more than anything else. I will admit that a lot of what I saw was impractical, and wont work the way you expect it to. There's no way of telling if it's part of the course work.

when teaching you dont have resistance, you show what it looks like in the perfect world. you drill this to get familiar then up the resistance. i have had students resist me while i am trying to teach. i get the technique to work any way but the student is almost always hurt to some degree and the students who were watching learned nothing.

jomess7879 Yeah, some demonstration partners can be a bit squirrelly, but I don't consider it bad thing. It's an opportunity to demonstrate to students how to make the technique work and being careful of your partner. I've always had tight wrists, wrist locks don't work on me unless you get the angle and leverage just right, so naturally my shifu found this out when he used me for demonstration one day, and I've been the goto for wrist lock demonstrations ever since. I think the point I'm trying to make here is that there isn't really a perfect world even in the training room, much less outside it, and demonstrations are the best opportunity to teach how to deal with imperfect opponents.

great system an incurable moves great job

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.

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

I know I did, and it’s far exceeds kra ma ga, Russian systema, and maestro self defense all put together, these shows are but impressive to those who do not see them for what they are, very deceptive instructions to earn them money., I know because I fell victim to these clowns at one time

That's why all my pupils train live after I demonstrate techniques then they go full go as I walk around and help them with their techniques because in real life there's nothing planned and choreographed that's going to work. anything can happen and you must be prepared for it by natural Body memory and reaction.

Don't get me wrong folks. I've trained with some GREAT instructors over the years, and have scars and splints to show for it. But pain tolerance is just that, tolerance. Damage is still occurring, and that damage builds up over the years and takes a mighty toll. I'm all for realistic training, but going hard in moderation has been shown to be the way to go for both military personnel and athletes if long term performance is the goal. To get a better idea of what I'm talking about, look how competitive Russian boxers and wrestlers train. People in the U.S. would criticize them as not going hard enough, but they produce the best wrestlers in the world and arguably have started to produce the best boxers in the world as well. Different military organizations and branches have found the same thing. I recommend watching some interviews with and studying with martial arts practitioners who have been practicing at least for 40 years and have relevant titles and awards. It might change your perspectives my friends.

That's more disrespectful than providing realistic resistance to then properly demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique. Most of these demos begin with the partner throwing ONE half-assed attack and then just waiting to be hit after that. In a real situation, people MOVE. They panic, struggle, tense up. Fred would not be able to perform a simple standing arm/wrist lock on some of these bigger dudes. If those techniques work, they work ONCE because you caught them off guard.

I would gladly spar any of them. At least in sparring you can agree on an intensity before starting, rather than unexpectedly going full force on a willing partner during a demonstration like Mr. Mastro. You know what I would like to see? _Any_ amount of real sparring footage featuring Fred Mastro. Too bad he only does demonstrations on ragdolling partners. Demonstration is incredibly flawed and tells us nothing beyond theory. Even sparring is flawed because it doesn't have the unpredictability that reality does, but at least the partners are resisting and making some sort of real contact.

You can clearly see the Savate in Mr. Maestro's system. Very well done to incorporate much more lethal techniques into it. You can tell they have had to level a couple of fools before.

The master I can see ever!!!

There is a reason why this style of fighting is not present within the higher levels of combat. It doesn't work unless the opponent is compliant.

Wow, Mr Maestro and staff takes sparing to the next level. The guy receiving the technique must be ‘tender’ after class.

This isn't sparring. This is a demonstration. 90% of this shit won't work with a non-compliant opponent.

I really want to Learn this now

It looks so effective when the other guy isn't fighting back or defending. Live hitting dummies.

01:47 or 01:53 (just to take a random technic, and seriously the magic handlock... the only worse technics are the "magic ki blast" xD ffs wtf is up here) if you believe this would ever work, you are utterly clueless and should NEVER go into a fight because you will be stumped or you are attacking someone who get even less of a clue... none of this "magic trick technic" work at all vs. anyone that got even the slightest idea how to fight -.- there is a reason no serious fighting sport use open hand hits -.- also a reason why "slaps" are never used.... this is the kind of bs i would expect to see on some super "wannabe" aikido site... not here where they generally have gone for serious effective stuff.. sad sad day to see this "magic technic" stuff come on the channel... edit: also for the throat punch, which is properly the only thing shown in this entire ordeal which could have any effect; if you can hit the throat clean you would have hit the chin clean as well, clean chin hit is KO, clean throat hit is at best destruction of the throat (your going to jail) but majority of chases just clocks off the air and hurts like hell, opponent can STILL be a danger at that point

If you train well enough it will work in a street fight 1v1, but you also need STRENGTH.. i mean if your punch is weak, or the whole body is weak, it won't work anything.

@Erebus2075

no... no it won't -.- unless you are beating up someone VASTLY weaker than yourself (in which case there would be no need to try and do dmg to them).. anyone that believes this kind of bs is effective haven't tried vs. someone that can actually fight.

I hate techniques that only work when an attacker "approaches like this." Smh not real... not effective.

you can also move the opponent into position, these looked like disarms and grapples the system has straight up attacks aswell

Kudos for the Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Chireetler Dread Free Rule (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good one of a kind product for learning self effective defence moves minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my close friend Aubrey at very last got astronomical results with it.

Excellent Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you thought about - Chireetler Dread Free Rule (probably on Google)? It is a good one off guide for learning self effective defence moves minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend Sam after many years got excellent success with it.

Looks like the sort of martial art that requires at least 5+ years to get semi decent. Interesting and very technical stuff.
