      “Don’t know how to fight” all these fights you see in mma don’t start that way in reality and the skillset you learn in mma is rarely efficient enough to stop someone who is absolutely driven to hurt you or worse. There’s rarely ever a fight when someone attacks you and you fight back or square off. Usually someone ends up seriously hurt or worse and it’s done and over with in seconds.

      Yeah, it is a good question about knowing how to fight, sometimes violence is a much bigger threat than knowing to fight. A usual fight on the streets is gonna start when somebody hits you an ashtray into your face cause is upset about a look you gave him a quarter hour before, or asking to light a cigarette, maybe just beeing drunk getting into rage throwing bottles around and slapping your girlfriend on her ass that it is gonna leave a mark ... i mean take even these hooligan brawls, sometimes violence and ruthlessness is pretty hard to fight, even dempsey was not much of a fighter but rather a violent brawler

    The thing i dislike about reality based self defense is that the teachers/coach/practitioner almost always go full speed during the explanation part while the students is still in listening mode.
    It feel a bit like a cheapshot to claim effectiveness in this type of situation where the student is not commited to attacking at all.
    Not saying its not a good style or coach but i really prefer when a coach gives a student the chance to also get into fight mode.

It's obvious in this case that Kevin is missing some points because "Ahh big man attacking me". He could definitely slow down like 50% and get his point across much more clearly

      @@brigade911 I agree with your point however i think you missread my comment,it about a student listening closely and not even i any fighting stance or mode to begin with .
      Then the student becomes more occupied with self protection due to being overwelmed, the coach could slow down a bit and the increase speed and confidence in the student until the technique becomes familliar so it can be drilled effectivly.
      I'm a boxing coach myself, and i find that showing your own skill full speed on a students reches them almost nothing aside from maybe inspiring themand showing what they can learn but you have to slow down the initial teaching until the technique is decently understood.

    One of the things my Kali instructor would always say is that he's less afraid of the guy that can advertise himself as a fighter either before or during a fight and much more afraid of the guy that makes it look like he doesnt know what he's doing. I think this form of martial art lends itself well to that second kind of fighter.

    Absolutely agree with this guy. Since I was a kid, using walls as a tool to create energy to hit or as a defense against multiple opponents was familiar to me. Then when i was about 23, working as a courier delivery guy, I was intercepted by a band of bad guys, about 7 guys, first I did was step close to the wall so when they started to try punching me, i moved one side or the other and they punched the wall and automatically game over for them. That helped me to reduce the number of opponents to about 3 who i was able to fight with. Obviously i was robbed but survived with no injuries at all. Then when i was to the police station to file this event they was looking at me thinking I lied about the fight. So even this is the first time I ser about this technique, i agree with the concept, it is very helpful for defense situations. Thumbs up…!!!

      My wife's ex decided to try and pick a fight with me back when I was 24, so I met with him behind an apartment complex on a bike trail. Luckily the fence they had was a brick wall, and you bet I used that fucker when he had 2 of his buddies hiding nearby waiting for him to get overwhelmed. My friend who was filming at the time, was a blue belt in bjj at the time was able to subdue my fighter. But I took the 2 that came out to the wall. And both my friend and myself wound up using the wall. You just want to make sure you don't drop below waste level at any point. I can't tell you how weak their strikes were when there was a wall behind me. If you can shield and move, parry and strike or grapple for control, and focus on kicks. Since kickboxing is my specialty, I used a similar French style of shielding. We didn't finish the fight sadly because police arrived and I had to play it off like it was some sort of friendly sparring match outside a mma studio

      @@peezieforestem5078 It looks like something a teenage boy would develop on his own in his bedroom in 5 months. It figured out a couple key combat principles but tried to reinvent the wheel. The main position in keysi is known as the pensador, which ALMOST looks like a proper guard, but the forarms protect more of your forehead than your ribcage, which I think we know why is problematic. Professional fighters know to not use such positions because they can be easily exploited. And keysi made it clear that the pensador can be used against multiple opponents. Let me ask you something, if a position can be exploited by one person what makes you think it can't be exploited by FIVE? Another key principle that turned out to be an egg-shaped wheel is their countering 'system'. Why land a counter punch or a body shot, when you can just hammerfist their thigh? Why slip a punch, when you can just swerm around and strike their elbow? I mean what the fuck is this shit!? Keysi, Defense Lab too, are just really really bad and underdeveloped martial arts. A normal art like every other will teach you a couple basic principles in your first day, for example in wrestling you'll learn a good takedown and maybe a couple pins, in brasilian jiu jitsu you'll learn a couple positions and maybe 1 or 2 reliable submissions, and so on. On the other hand keysi just teaches you 'how to fight multiple opponents' which is not even something a professional fighter can do. Also, when is Keysi ever documented working ever? They don't have competitions, that means the art has never been tested in a serious way and every single thing taught is purely theoretical and never been tested against live pressure. Other arts such as brazilian jiu jitsu or boxing had hundreds of tournaments around the world, just today. And these competitions were filmed and documented, this is more magnitude of testing in 1 day than Keysi has probably in its lifetime.

I have also found them in manuals of both historical european martial arts and old japanese martial arts. I ques good stuff works where ever you find it.

    With the style like this that is so common to Silat there is no need to punch your opponent with your fists. There are so many other options available that a closed fist should not be used for a strike unless it is a back fist or open palm.
    I like to think of it as a broken bone or torn ligament for every strike which equals about every second. Quicker timing would allow for 2-3 destructive moves in one second.
    This is good material! So much better than most of what's out there. Keep up the good work boys!!!

    The connection with the ground is standard for power generation. I like the emphasis of learning connection with the wall and by extension your other surroundings.

      I think cuz the bread and butter techniques are really explosive and have a limited time duration, so it doesn’t lend itself to sparring. Like you shell up and charge in on their attack, but they manage to block it and reset space. What do you do, burst in again? Someone who can keep it really far range or close range defeats a lot of what KFM highlights. So I think it makes sense as a self defense system, but doesn’t dwell on prolonged sport-centric exchanges.

      In that scenario you pointed, it might make sense to combine Keysi with basic boxing skills so you can have the footwork to reset/reengage as necessary. But again, I think the techniques as designed to end a confrontation as fast as possible. That of course, not always being possible against a trained opponent.

      The ideas of KFM are sound the problem is it became a watered down kravmaga. Like the crash guard is good. Protecting your knuckles is good(although punching tends to be most efficient way to fight). In that sense the style does what it set out to do a self defense martial art that protected your head and knuckles. I do disagree on how this guy is demonstrating the techniques but I'm not going to hold it against the keysi fighting method.

      On the one hand, even crediting KFM with the effectiveness proponents claim, you wouldn't expect it to work well in the boxing ring. Muay Thai is an effective fighting style, but if you make a Muay Thai fighter fight under boxing rules, they'd basically just be boxers with bad head movement.
      On the other hand, I've never heard of anyone trained up from scratch in KFM who was well known for their martial arts accomplishment in any other format either. There are some people who've trained in it as part of an extensive resume of martial arts experience who might be competent, but it doesn't seem to have much of a record of teaching people to fight.

    • @stupidfrog2205

      KFM is literally just panatukan from FMA but with the stupid "pensador" defense which simply doesn't work.
      The pensador is a gimmick to sell a "new system" when in reality the only aspects that work are taken from existing martial arts.
      You want a better method of fighting off the guard? Try having a higher guard. The concept that the pensador is an effective offense simply isn't real.
      Let's talk about 3:33
      He says if he has time to read/predict his opponents attack then he can "crash the line"... but why not just throw punches or clinch? If you have time for such a big exaggerated movement such as whatever the fuck he does then you have plenty of time to let loose a simple boxing combination.
      KFM is literally adding complexity to a simple movement to make it more marketable.
      Been around involved heavily in boxing, kickboxing and martial arts for the last 14 years, I've seen my fair share of KFM and I've even taken a few classes myself in the past to see what my friends were raving about.
