Doug Marcaida | Marcaida Kali | Fighting with a Hammer

[@taylorwilkinson9860]

"the control is right into the throat, that sucks." love this channel.

[@kevinburns8473]

Bam bam fantastic name! Love his attitude to his art. Using everyday tools and items as weapons is just fantastic. You don't see much of that anymore :(

[@Titan-gs6cf]

I used to have no appreciation for Kali. The simplicity of other forms of self-defence techniques left me questioning why this would be useful. Hours of Doug Marcaida footage later and I'm really starting to see why this works so well.

[@bladesociety]

Same here. Kuya Doug has been an immense inspiration to a lot of people.

[@TheMylittletony]

it's like judo. There are a lot of different techniques and even more variations, but you don't need to know and use them all. Just the ones you need.

[@zinknot]

There definitely seems to be value in it. But it needs to be incorporated with other things in mind, like how you will apply it in hard sparing or an actual fight. Otherwise it's just like tai chee or something more more art than martial.

[@neotim5]

''you can hammer out his teeth and hammer him down. Lots of fun.'' I love you hahaha

[@theaccountthatisntused2957]

another amazing hilarous quote "The claw is in right into the throat. That sucks." xD

[@joachimcoonan6255]

Genius Broz....Gave me even further insight into discovering improvised weapons around me everywhere. Now I have begun to play about with various grips and holds at various points on any given improvised weapon, and using Kali/Arnis/Eskrima principles and concepts, ( My favourite is a recent hickory walking stick with a teardrop design, for those who understand what that means in a walking stick, with a brass, hammer-style head, or handle on it....It is an old antique shillelagh, more or less, and from a bygone era, really, and it's effectiveness as a/ (an already deployed) weapon of self defence cannot possibly be overstated. It is truly astounding. I train with it for actual combat : melee style, both two handed and one handed, sometimes doubling up with a solid homemade, hard rubber mallet or other various weapons alongside. All the same, I also just love to use the Kali/Eskrima sticks altogether. They are SO damn fast that they are like light sabers swiftly cutting through in a blurr of blinding speed, and therefore, with loads of impact.....Their speed and manoeuvrability make them extremely hard for someone to defend against, or successfully attack, without being hit or blocked....

[@antocuervo6863]

Neat techniques, especially useful for those countries who banned carrying a knife as daily tools. Hammer could be very useful indeed, Kudos Mr. Marcaida

[@Pennconst101]

I just wish I lived closer to his gym. in high school my buddies and I used to just have technique building sparring days with whatever weapons of opportunity we could find wherever we were training. I keep getting brought back more and more with the videos. thanks Doug.

[@daxenus1]

Mabuhay Po Kayo!!! Filipino Martial Arts is not Lost but very much Alive. Thank You.

[@jcuevas119]

I am hooked on Funker Tactical videos. First Zero, now this guy. I am looking forward to more of these "weapons of opportunity" videos.

[@bmushler]

its really amazing what people can learn on the Discovery Chanel. What?. Truth is I wish I lived closer. You have a gift with not just your knowledge, but also in the way you share that knowledge.

[@PutingPusongPinoy]

I love watching and learning from Doug. The very traditional ideas of defense and weapons utilized during defense have largely been lost in many martial arts, and in America the concepts were hardly known. When training in Japan, I noticed the older teachers still have the concept of viewing everything around you as a tool, a weapon, and incorporate it into training. To see how each item is similar or different in application. And when in the Philippines, I noticed this concept is still present, it has never left the teachings. Sad too see however, that in PI the study of FMA is so much lower than the study of other international styles. Doug, and FT, keep up the good work!

[@DangerSFE]

I love this, because that tiny hammer is something not many people would consider a weapon, which makes it ideal for self defense. No cop will give you a hard time for having one.

[@fathertway]

Very nice work,must get myself a Bam Bam.More please.

[@TheFlame9988]

Doug is one guy I don't want to get in a fight with. What a boss

[@FunkerTactical]

Exactly right. This is ONE video---wait until you the video of Doug using a cell phone car-charger. Weapons of opportunity are everywhere---this is merely to illustrate the 2 attributes highlighted - curvature and impact.

[@josiahhart7123]

Does the white man and black man he trains with have youtube channels and names. Simply looking for other channels to indulge in to who have trained with doug

[@Breaker197]

Forget knives, now I wanna carry a hammer. XD

[@natedog45678]

As a carpenter I approve of this

[@ricosuave177]

A wonderful demonstration on taking kali concepts and theory and thinking outside the box. I studied inosanto lacoste kali, loved it, currently trying to find someone in birmingham, al area.

[@alessioyautja612]

Please respond, camera man! I would dearly like to know your name. My reason being the initial shot of this video: even when Doug had you in an uncomfortable (and daresay I) and painful grip you manage to keep the camera centred. Its like being able to keep your rifle accurately aimed while being shot at, and I would like to congratulate you! :D Thanks to Doug for allowing his experience to be documented and the (as of now) unknown cameraman who was willing to document it.

[@ShaunKeefe]

I am curious as to the brand and style of the hammer used in the video.. I have looked around and I can't find one that is all metal. Most are polymer handles and do not have metal throughout the handle. Could you possibly let me know or give a link to the hammer?

[@darrelw6167]

Love the tac hammer video...pretty interesting

[@wafflgarciaAZ]

I would never look at a hammer the same again. thank you for the knowledge.

[@TrevorSimko]

Now that's what you call, a Hammerfist.

[@CivilBrigands]

Why is it that right as I get the idea for doing a improvised weapon video with a hammer, Funker does one. Just my luck! Haha!

[@robertbrunston5406]

Great demo! Thank you Doug.

[@Mr_Winch]

this man is a genius

[@afhveteran]

Cesar Gonzalez not so much...

[@chrish1552]

@@afhveteran what are you talking about? This is amazing! I will definitely use this if I am ever trying to choreograph for a bad action movie lmfao 🤣

[@mxpigg]

I too have studied the deadly martial art of the hammer for fifteen years. I now carry two for akimbo-style use and I always have a backup hammer in my sock. Once I avoided a mugging by pulling out my hammers and springing into my wide martial-hammer stance when this guy asked if I had a 'spare' cigarette. I chased him down the street but couldnt catch him only because I had two backup hammers that day and it slowed me down. My primary hammers are twin Craftsman ckaws that I got nickel plate

[@CivilBrigands]

I personally love the idea of weapons of opportunity. It uses a very realistic and pragmatic mindset. I find myself looking around and noticing things that I could use as weapons...

[@zinknot]

I love the kapak kecil. It has so many functions, like the karambit but with hooking and straight forward striking blade as well as stabbing with the handle, ice pick position.

[@pehenryjr]

Great! You just added a unexpected defense weapon to my arsonal thanks

[@MrMcbear]

Hey guys, new here. I just got the bi-pod for my hammer.

[@Qnam21]

Doug Marcaida is such a skilled legend!

[@faz1991]

Haha holy cow, that last grip that protects the inside of your arm is genius.

[@alextay5966]

Please make more videos of hammer defence

[@RoamingRyNo]

It's going to take a lot of practice & timing to be able to implement these techniques effectively against a full speed opponent . I'm sure it could work, but depending on that small curvature to draw momentum or direct force is going to be a fight with a resisting opponent. Most of these techniques could be also applied to the weapon known as a "Rock in my Hand". Which still is Kali.

[@p00ktube]

That first "grip" seems like a fantastic way to rip off the first knuckle of your thumb.

[@mcgregor2348]

I'm a magician and it's facisnating how these two art forms are so alike by taking the uses of a object and applying them big doug fan by the way.

[@AltairDhauglu]

Awesome video, please deliver more weapons of opportunity

[@DFX2KX]

flashlights can work, if they have enough mass. you can modify some of them to make them more useful for defense, but it does make them heavier, then.

[@mkien2005]

Doug, you got my respect already back when I watched the karambit, stick and baseball cap ... but now! This one put all my knives to waste! LOL ! And with this tool, I don't have to worry about cops pulling me off and finding a Bam Bam in my car.

[@expendedenthusiasm]

Can I get the name of the instrumental in the first half of the video?

[@Sancriswolffox]

Man, On that last seen the camera work was fantastic XD seemed like a fight seen in a movie :3

[@andychanny]

Dude, Doug...I totally have a man crush on you!

[@mkien2005]

I know how you feel !!!

[@MichaelWBush]

Nigga, you gai. You have a crush on everybody that is competent, which leads to your foot being flat.

[@alfvincett7195]

I practice various forms of CQB but don't have any to practice who is a lefty as primary strength and stance. Is there any advice you can give? Thanks lads

[@YoungTurkeyEternalSleep2016]

Product name of the hammer that instructor is using, What is?

[@erickruckenberg8716]

I first found Doug on Forged in Fire...love how he says "This...will kill..." with that fucking smile of his

[@jchelampath]

love this dude and the tactical ewok... i would politely ask for more karambit with that raging tiger dude

[@kipperwhite2976]

Ur opinion pls on double knife or double hammer method? Makes me wonder why not deploy a weapon in each hand TY

[@jonathanchark5291]

What brand of stubby hammer is that?

[@alextay5966]

What kind of model should I use

[@Michael-nx1jh]

Anyone know if there is a Kali instructor in NC? Interested and I think this is really cool.

[@neverforgetthesorrow]

I really appreciate these tips

[@TheLegion113]

Hi I was wondering if there are any Kali instructors in the state of Oklahoma? Help me out Funker?

[@dgr8zod]

If you look around a normal room, and don't see at least three things that can be used as a weapon, you likely missed more than six, lol. Keep this series going..

[@ozrallyguy]

with my luck I forget my hammer.. get attack, now I gotta run around googling on my phone "nearest hardware store"

[@Jdbzkwbsk]

Wish I could learn Kali but nobody teaches it

[@godkingcthulhu138]

i think i have a new favorite!

[@AfromanKKK2]

more of this Please!

[@HUNUffizy]

Can you please make a video with spoons?

[@cheapo911]

will do, thanks!

[@julianjames6086]

Fantastic.

[@bunkerd69ab]

Do you need the tax stamp for a SHH?( Short handled hammer)

[@Joshmango86]

I WANT MORE FROM THIS MAN

[@deputyprepper4931]

awesome, never thought of that

[@Henbot]

great stuff

[@babyryan6494]

So clean

[@magus_series]

Understand the attributes, understand the repercussion for them and yourself.

[@MarvinCZ]

Your weapon of opportunity depends on the particular opportunity. If you've got something like a hammer around, it's obviously preferable to a lamp. It's still a weapon of opportunity, even though it's more suited to the role than a lamp.

[@BigWaveDaveO]

Makes me want to learn more.

[@Boryspitzanzx]

after This vid i went to get my BAMBAM! and showed it to my friends. well they dont want to talk to me anymore and they have Gipps all over there Hands.

[@joecoonan3931]

I have an incredible homemade hammer next to my front door, at the Perfect height, and easy hidden draw. It is an incredible thing, part iron bar, part mini war hammer. But the end of it is made of hardened rubber, rather than metal. That is one of my favourite factors about that weapon, as well as it's weight, range, and metal bar options. It gives me a non lethal alternative, if I hold back even a little, and better legal chances, if it ever came to really needing to use it. A little more power and the thing is lethal, without question. Smash the body, and swing it with restraint at the head, unless you are intending it to be lethal.

[@mfschris6174]

Remind me of that fight scene in The Raid 2, the hammer girl 🙆

[@NashFung]

In theory this looks great, but as a non-gun owner, I wanna know how in the scenario of a home invasion when you have no time to react, what can you do with a hammer in your night stand and still protect yourself with it? What are some of the steps you need to take after barricading yourself in your bedroom? Would love to learn that to protect my fam

[@NashFung]

Yup, I am quite philosophical and knowledgeable in that field. So thank you for the compliment

[@cypherusuh]

7 months late, but just swing on the center of mass. As long as you don't completely miss, it still hurts quite a lot

[@bladesociety]

@cyperusuh I agree. An ordinary hammer is a scary thing. Imagine one just lightly tapping your hand - it hurts a lil bit. Now imagine it swung with a little more force.

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

Very Cool

[@lightning123456]

This is helpful :)

[@knzhang1]

hammer and karambit, perfect weapons of choice for the KGB :)

[@orozco6308]

Awesome!

[@lerch400block]

How about flashlights. I got attacked by a dog a few months ago (blue heeler). I didn't want to shoot it. I had my terralux lightstar 300 put my foot out for him to bite my shoe and beat the snot out of him till his owner came out and got him i broke 3 of his teeth.

[@HeinrichKonig]

So just out of curiosity, how does Eskrima address kicks and foot-based attacks? I'd assume that it'd be more about stomps and low kicks to complement their close range handwork, but my martial experience is fairly limited, so I might have that wrong. Just wondered since my friend does Eskrima and I was considering picking it up since it seems like a very fast and flexible martial art. :)

[@MtEdeNLov3R]

There should be a worldwide school for martial arts, meditation, etc that has grandmasters, masters for every martial art form in the world to teach them.

[@madafaker2732]

I use a hammer with a RDS crossair and extended mag

[@Titan-gs6cf]

I had SilencerCo make me a custom suppressor for mine.

[@huaxzhang]

If this is for self-defense, I'm wondering if this could be used in U.S. (vs. in Europe). It's hard to explain why you're carrying a hammer in your pocket, right?

[@goodmorningmadafacka]

more like this!!!

[@coldlikechips]

This guy gives me goosebumps

[@jmrtn44]

a great idea as a carry weapon under your shirt when a no weapons allowed sign is displayed

[@5899jason]

Awesome

[@TheCartographer89]

Really cool.

[@SlipperySocks]

I always bring my cat with me, can I use it as a weapon?

[@tdj1985]

I'd like to know that as well. Since playing postal, I know you can at least use it as a silencer

[@nameisontheprofilepix]

Throw the cat in the face and run.

[@jocelbacubas7979]

For destruction

[@crankysmurf]

Hammer time!

[@Yashin184]

I'm not sure if there is actually anyone that can beat this dude in close range melee weapons combat

[@cheapo911]

This guy is a beast.

[@Dorrektor125]

More improvised weaponry. This is fantastic

[@lawrencecarter4321]

I used to carry a hammer as my EDC before I had a knife when I was in High school

[@islanders_MMA]

I love this Martial Art

[@SYEIKHRAMZIASSALAF]

Sir, in Malaysia, we have similar like that weapon.. It's call KAPAK KECIL/KECIK... But must have very skillful for use it... March 2022

[@SYEIKHRAMZIASSALAF]

[@sfbulldogg1]

God vid !

[@xiaolaoshu520]

have you seen the bourne series? ballpoint pen can work dude. anything can be used as a weapon @kasim

[@GIGNEbuyer]

Nope haven't seen the series but whatever not here to argue. Stab me with a pen once and I'll punch you in the face once.(not you I mean anyone) See who ends up in hospital :)

[@HeavyMetalArmor936]

Kade Grimsley ~ Bourne Identity reference :)

[@jasongludd998]

Kasim Gilani a pen is a very dangerous tool if used correctly. to the untrained eye its just a pen. i have defended myself using a pen before, its not a pretty sight. the wounds are nasty. all i did was push his head back a bit while he wailed on me and calmly pulled the pen out of my shirt pocket and shoved it up his nose.

[@braybrayyy]

Ima practice that back first one. More defensive for me

[@frqgrenade]

In next episode: "How to kill with Tea Cup"

[@indriadrayton1132]

WOW! JUST! WOW!!!
