What style, skills or techniques of Knife Fighting would you like to see next? How about an advanced class next vidja? 😮

[@jayruben6082]

Knife defense sitting in a car.

[@SuperOtter13]

Confined space fighting, like in a car or narrow hallway. I would say in a phone booth but I haven't seen one in the last decade😆

[@noneya6522]

Anything that as Doug would say “Will Kill”

[@joseramonmaciassanchez7446]

Kyokushin or kudo will be cool

[@A.M.Customs]

Knife drills, with two training person, pair, Blocks,pass ...

[@kevinfanning8027]

Doug seems like such a wholesome and kind soul, it's kind of jarring he has the skills to carve you like a turkey

[@douglassinclaire9968]

youre not peaceful unless you have the ability to be a monster and choose not to.

[@Under-Kaoz]

thats most top fighters if you get a chance to talk to them as well. I even became a much kindner person once I trained MMA. Despite the feminists and their kick back on public school PT programs, working out ans combat training does build confidence.When you have confidence you dont try to peacock people.

[@rolandrush5172]

It takes strength to be kind

[@jasonholecz3000]

Haters, say what you will, but Guro Doug is the real thing. If you are in NY, go see him and train...you won't think he's fake then.

[@YouPousti]

He absolutely is legit Joe Rogan has trained with him and the brother on many occasions.

[@jeffadams9807]

Joe Rogan Is A PUNK !!!

[@DaveandDebe]

Pretend knife fighting is one of the dumbest things on the planet. Real knife fights are quick and brutal, you bleed out fast. This dancing BS is so far from reality it's hilarious. Real life is run or shoot. I feel bad for the tree 😂

[@Ghoulza]

@@DaveandDebe spoken buy someone who has never been in a fight let alone a knife fight in his life. I'll ask you this, if you were forced into a knife fight, would you rather have training from doug or no training at all

[@DaveandDebe]

​@@Ghoulza😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@mattkissel5112]

Fantastic instruction from world class Doug Marcaida. More of this please!

[@Battlbox]

💪😎

[@donmarion8808]

Doug is awesome. Thank you for bringing him to your channel . More knife fighting pls

[@Tomas-ev5rc]

The best KALI teacher in the world for me, thank you Doug….

[@mls8668]

🔥🔥🔥 "You're the best, around, nothings gonna ever keep you dooooown"🔥🔥🔥

[@Milk_697]

MLS I love you 😘 🥰

[@armandosreis]

I don't know anything about fighting with knives or fighting in general but I loved this video. We can easily see how repetition improves muscle memory, and by training in a safe environment, where you know the other guy isn't trying to kiil you, you are free to focus on the technique behind the movements. I personally would love to see more of this type of content. Thanks Doug and Brandon.

[@open_minded_1]

Doug is a knife god. I love that there's no waisted motion, you're always covering yourself and you use the flow of your body to follow one attack right into the next. This is how martial arts taught us to fight, so it's a smooth transition for me. Thank you!

[@BMO_Creative]

Doug Marcaida is Awesome! You gotta check out his older Kali videos!

[@toddkanhai3164]

I like the training. Please continue.

[@darque1860]

Not only do I want to see u do more, I think u should have a whole advanced series to help us train at home. Love u guys, much respect.

[@davidtarbassian1490]

It is always a pleasure to watch and learn from a master artist and a student with their growth/development.

[@BlaccKakashi]

I would love to be trained by Doug honestly, such a master at his craft and a great instructor as well! Great video guys!

[@fillianplays]

Yes please! More with Kuya Marcaida! Always a joy to watch him teach.

[@sargab2942]

I have huge respect for Mr.Marcaida a true and real living master among us . Thank you for sharing your skills and tactics with us,sir.

[@badjaeaux]

thank you viking Santa for welcoming our Kuya into your videos

[@nathalielanoir4246]

That's awesome! Thank you for sharing this and yes, please, make more of this! 🙏👏

[@okiewind8403]

I’ve been following Doug for years. Well before forged and fire. He was one of my best students 😉

[@beardedpriest9715]

Doug is a fantastic teacher. Wish I could train with him. We definitely want to see more training with you guys.

[@attra91]

I love it! I thank you for taking the time to make this lesson for us!

[@LatigoDeLaVerde]

Let's go Kuya Doug! 💪

[@lajoyalobos2009]

Jedi Master Marcaida knows his stuff

[@alpara.1962]

He certainly is the Grand Master of all of those Jedis 💪🏻💪🏻

[@jerichogrimm28]

This training and knowledge is pure gold

[@ghp224]

I love Doug's old videos. I'm glad you're back.

[@alpara.1962]

Thank you so much for explaining these basics Doug, with so many gems in your side comments inbetween.

[@Battlbox]

thanks for watching! 🙌

[@floridaman9260]

Great video gentlemen Thank you!

[@alexcr2249]

Just started watching the video and already know that i will learn a lot of new techniques… i really thank you this kind of videos and would love to see more , its difficult to find good information and well explained so again thank you very much and please still doing these videos 🙇🏼‍♂️

[@MD-lk5hy]

Awesome training information would love to see more from Doug. He’s an institution of knowledge.

[@hobofab]

This is so awesome! A master at his craft offering great insight. I came across his KZbin videos when I got interested in using a karambit to add a more lethal option to my grappling skill set. Eventhough I've been a BJJ Black Belt for many years and an avid Gun owner I have always loved knives. This video is incredible! Thanks BattleBox!

[@dukeeod1650]

Awesome training please put more. From the expert very valuable information

[@hendrik4241]

Outstanding teaching methodology! Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@bryanreilly1290]

Awesome. Love this guy

[@deathfromabove1992]

More Doug, definitely!

[@user-ek5qx8xs3h]

Definitely want to see more of Doug

[@sonsofthunder007]

I am so jealous man what a teacher 👊🏽

[@mattnobrega6621]

These are some great drills. I try to follow along, and my coordination gets thrown off. Sometimes I get it right, and I go for a second round, and then I fumble. 🤷‍♂️🫤🤦‍♂️. This will take a while for me to get fluid with.

[@thefucrew9865]

Please keep up the training, Gentlemen !!!

[@spetsdod]

I've had the honor of working and training with Ray Dionaldo, but I would love to have a chance to train with Doug as well. Right about the time Doug points out to use the back of the arm, I was commenting to myself about that. Another good reason to use the back of your arm to block / check is that the inside of your arm has critical tendons and arteries that you want to protect. Ray wears a bracer to provide additional protection for that reason as well. Awesome training.

[@andrewgillman6327]

I trained under Guro Mike at FCS Denver. I reached out to Tuhan but he never responds to me on fb

[@davidelliott2485]

Hey Doug!!!!!! Long time since Keesler. Glad you are doing well!!

[@ITGuy2009]

Guro Doug is absolutely the real deal. We did a seminar with him some years ago in Rochester. One of the top 5 Filipino Martial artists in the world. Humility personified.

[@PastorHan1776]

Fantastic basics. If you got fundamental skills you have an advantage against most people.

[@denden01161]

His clock interpretation, we called it asterisk lines. Instead of 5 we use 8 points of attack and defense, FMA is always follow the lines where your attack going to be at.

[@TAVAAR7]

Takes me back to my early Arnis days and the 3 clocks; target, attack and footwork. Some of the most fun training I've had and it translates over a wide variety of tools. Looked like you picked it up pretty quick too. 😁

[@sheilamitchell1574]

Do more stuff! It’s very interesting

[@r.mercado9737]
