More videos of mastro please......This man is a pleasure to watch.

[@luckydud55]

Man..mad respect for Fred and his wisdom. Such a great class of fighter

[@Flintshadow]

This is very interesting, i plan on working security up here in canada and seeing how Mastro manipulates joints with counter force is something i never would have thought to do in a skirmish. replace the knife with a baton or use the counter force unarmed and you open up the attackers defence (if he stops your attacks). i'd love to learn his system it looks very effective for defence.

[@bandofbrothers1964]

I felt every cut from Fred when demonstrated! Wow, what a different perspective!

[@arkangel8419]

I hope they paid this guy or at least got him some lunch. every video he keeps getting more abused lol. I don't care what that knife is made out of those strikes have to hurt. I am loving the videos tho. Huge fan Of Fred. I wish i could find the old videos I saw of him Instructing PSD work in close quarters. It was probably the most legit video I have seen on Close quarters protection. I cant even remember if it was on TV or if I saw it on Here. If anyone knows what the hell i am talking about please link me the clip. ( its a video of Fred showing how to protect a client in close quarter situations. The body movement and forethought is amazing.

[@hermes1532]

Arkangel i

[@chetyuentoh7827]

Yeah I was looking for it as well I think they took it down

[@scottweston9225]

I love to cut here... Damn how many people does this guy stab ?!

[@Yamdarnocnivek]

hahahaha.

[@enriquecabrera2137]

Scott Weston zero

[@mauricedoug314]

My thoughts exactly 😂😂😂

[@lukepace8546]

Exactly none...

[@mrdirtdart2239]

So....did I just learn how to stab someone who is fighting back....OR...did I just learn how I am going to get stabbed by someone who knows how to use a knife???

[@igoramance2665]

MrDirtdart it depends... which one you’d like to be.

[@totdesritter]

MrDirtdart muber 2

[@ahmaddynugroho]

Both

[@chiefgully9353]

How many times you gonna practice these techniques. You drill it regularly maybe the first after a few years. If you gonna try this after watching a youtube video the second

[@MrBracey100]

Yes

[@brendanbate5440]

this dude is legit :). Enorme respect mon frere. J'ai hate que tu viennes en Angleterre ds l'avenir.

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

what proof is there that he's legit besides your word?

[@adammerson7856]

Simple, google it.

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

Adam Merson i didn't make the claim that he is so i don't have to believe him without proof. From their video he seems just like another fraudulent mcdojo

[@kylestarfaux]

+Tyler Lalonde and you seem like just another comment section contrarian who rejects the possibility of anyone else knowing what they're talking about.

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

theo retical​ he know what he's doing and he know its lazy teaching and also bullshit ​

[@7spikeparsons]

PT.s 1 & 2 ... THESE ARE EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!! FANTASTICALLY REALISTIC!!! NOTHIN' BUT THE TRUTH HERE!!! FRED IS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! ... btw, where does he get his training blades?!!?

[@shanebrown8146]

I've been a Martial Artist for 40yrs I'm still learning remotely. I don't watch much televised fighting whether choreographed or promoted, watch Fred is an indulgence #StreetMaster

[@CaptJaipreetJoshi]

Slashing at an angle will scientifically and actually cut deeper and more than pushing the blade hard against the body , unless and until it is the tip of the blade.

[@redpowerthrasher5744]

"You play now"

[@puppetguy64]

I like how he hugs people after he hurts them in training.

[@soothingmeow22]

it's not fighting at its most basic and I love it

[@Greybaine]

Really loving these lessons.

[@brianmichaelbenjamin7318]

great self defense videos! Thanks to all involved in these productions. I'm going to show them and practice these techniques with my wife and later, to my children. Bravo. I'm a peaceful man but I'd die to protect my family. Maybe with this info, I won't have to.

[@tenshinseishin]

Very good. Makes a lot of sense. Good sense of reality,

[@MrBracey100]

Its just terrifying to watch Fred in action.

[@janosamurayatp2621]

Los SUBTÍTULOS tapan las imágenes, gracias .... Te sigo y admiro tu estilo🙏🥋

[@discordwho7469]

why are you teaching people how to shank guys? just askin

[@FunkerTactical]

Because teaching people how to shoot guys gets monotonous.

[@denisw7619]

+Discord Who Next time Fred Mastro will be teaching you plebs how to shank people with your fingernails.

[@brendanbate5440]

+Funker Tactical - Gun & Gear Videos shots fired :)

[@jeremywhitfield4556]

+Funker Tactical - Gun & Gear Videos can you do knife defense videos?

[@novikovPrinciple]

From someone who almost got robbed at high noon, in the middle of the street, in broad daylight, I must say that having intimate knowledge of how to "shank someone" gives me the equivalent knowledge of how not to "get shanked".

[@sorakismenos]

more Fred Mastro plz

[@KasaiFilms8]

the pattern is not aiming the knife, which many people do, but to still aim and hit with your fist.

[@jaimeparedes9188]

Where did the instructor learn his techniques?

[@rubberdukkie]

This is brutal stuff man

[@caporegime1259]

Great Sifu!! Very easy to follow.

[@Evil.Turkey]

Fred is a badass

[@alanmann2963]

Very nice well set up choreographed Dojo moves . . . . . . .

[@MamboRasco]

Nice stuff, I like to see what his unarmed knife defence is just since he knows so much.

[@kareemhabib5421]

Finally found a real teacher

[@gstaterep]

I recognize the cut that your doing. Good technique. Very similar to the way a samurai slices there adversaries, except your doing it with one hand and a knife.

[@KincadeCeltoSlav]

Merci, Fred! Magnifique!

[@pwhit59]

Man he almost poked the guys eye out. So close!

[@MichaelTodd-h6q]

A great lesson. Distance is crucial to defence. If opponent is at reach distance he will kill you. Make him step towards you. This may at least allow you to escape.

[@samvalentine9243]

How is this defense? In what situation are you drawing a knife on an unarmed person with any intent other than to scare them? The only time this would happen is if YOU are the attacker. The only thing I learned from this is how to keep a knife in my hand so I may harm someone else with it. Thanks, Fred. Those wounds you got from trying to disarm a blade-wielder could probably have been avoided if you just ran away.

[@MaharlikaAWA]

Sometimes you've got to be the attacker. You just got to!

[@livebybushido]

Fred Mastro is excellent & I love all the videos that FT do, they're 💯. I'm somewhat concerned though lol I'm concerned that "bad people" could be watching this stuff publicly & use it. What he done in part one was quite detailed & could give confidence to an assailant. But I guess you could say that about most Martial Art videos. Anyways keep them coming GN : )

[@brendanbate5440]

i dont think it has any relevance to what "bad people" may or may not do. that said, when i first became interested in FMA i was surprised to see offensive blade work in a contemporary , realistic training context. Doug Marcaida has some interesting thoughts on the matter. remember its an art and its fun. peace

[@livebybushido]

+Brendan Bate True 👍

[@francistuazon7666]

+BudoKa what is really scary is the fact that there is a bad person in all of us. just sayin.

[@SubstanceASMR]

That's pretty brutal. Cool but brutal.

[@msyamil200]

After watching Fred's videos, I wonder : what silat was it that he learnt? And how, and what was it that he is capable of creating such destructive defense system?

[@themasteryocheese8133]

Now we need counter-counter disarm

[@TonyqTNT]

Mastro shows the ineffectiveness of many unarmed defensive techniques against a knife attack. Any videos of Fred Mastro showing how to defend against a knife weilding attacker potentially more effectively?

[@juancarloslozanocarrillo3508]

Gracias !!!

[@BogdanIonescuTreeHunter]

Excelent! Expecting part 3 soon.

[@wadibou8081]

Tu est très fort Fred bravo

[@veronidimitrov4883]

What is the training knife he uses?

[@ludicrous8794]

Gracias

[@DarthDefiler]

Not my cut...My Cut!

[@XzXmullvadXzX]

what is the difference between normal cut and his cut? does he also strike with his fist that is grabbing the knife?

[@fr4dj0e6]

I like the energy that the guy uses, but I hope he discussed this before hand with the guy he was demonstrating on. I hate it when an instructors ego gets out of hand and he just beats up on the guy he is demonstrating on without any warning.

[@kreso589]

Can u teach us how to direct soo much power to the cut? I mean u can cut someone once and they are already on the ground.

[@biocybernaught3512]

Step 1: rapidly move backwards. Step 2: do not stop, keep going. Step 3: draw pistol. Step 4: shoot. Step 5: keep shooting until the threat stops. Step 6: there is no step 6.

[@honky9466]

With that method you're not likely to get further than step 3.

[@Projectdarksource]

Search 21 foot rule.

[@Mosquitoqqq]

Thank you for the video, plz upload or give link to already uploaded continuing of the video.

[@olivierbernard920]

Gratitude et Respect, Luv U....King s street. PERFECT, THE JOB IS DONE.. 😘😍🥰🕊🕊🕊💯💯💯🐧🐧🐧🐥🐥🐥

[@BPierce777]

This Fred M. is one scary guy. Blading speed and abilty.

[@adriob7520]

Loved this, but I’d really like it if he taught defense. Or does he think there isn’t one?

[@MastahDriver]

That is knife fighting. More please

[@t2xan]

nice... would like to see how the same attack technique would fare against a kravMaga counter

[@GodsAssassin]

Krav Maga is one motion so I doubt he will get he time to even finish with his knife.

[@TheLocalOption]

Making a case for wearing armor on the street.

[@dpeshy6719]

The real strategy here is to post as many scary knife slashing tutorials on youtube as possible, so that people would know who you are and what you would do to them. then no one will ever mess with you.

[@jomess7879]

and this perfectly shows why i absolutely hate wrist control. too easy to counter

[@snazdogdbfan251]

Mastro is the real freakin deal

[@TheDannyddd]

whilst staying on the outside or behind that is

[@groomlake51]

Fred’s save my life at least twice now thanks GN !! No more new buddy’s for me any time soon 🤣💯

[@josealfonsodavilarubert8923]

Excelente maestro saludos

[@mastere682]

Eye Jab all day, Mr Knife man..

[@neallinville5357]

Hey arkangel, I just found Mr. Mastro about a month ago and love seeing his skills I have only bought S.C.A.R.S. Limited Edition Course. Look up S.C.A.R.S. Fighting Institute watch what he says to questions asked by an interviewer. I Still remember the knowledge on the tape, NEVER Practiced it but I had to use it on 2 people at a time. I just want to DO as Bruce Lee said "keep what is useful and throw the rest away.I have Subscribed to Funker Tactical BUT I love it when Mr. Mastro comes on there. The comment to you about IF he is legit , Stevie Wonder CAN tell he is legit and he's BLIND LMBO. Gun,Knife,and Combatives Nut, D. Neal Linville. P.S. I think the guyand others like him who Questioned IF He Legit ARE JEALOUS.

[@snazdogdbfan251]

This seems a bit criminal-ish. I’ll allow it

[@haisurya366]

Amazing sir... But lot of fear that time... What can i do??😐😐😐

[@iijdspartan300]

really big guy with a really short guy....of course he has also the knife the big guy!!!

[@RVM451]

Friend, You seem to pass up many opportunities to deliver deep hard slashes to the kidney to attack the inside of the leg, the tricep and the patellar tendon instead. How effective do you rate kidney strikes in the overall scheme of things? Would you use those same techniques with a big knife like a Bowie? …..RVM45

[@wcpir81]

Scary shit.... the only lesson I got is, if this guy has a knife...."run!!!"

[@asepulveda1202]

I love this one

[@redjepbedjet2858]

Hey,does it hurt??

[@jamiancarreon9896]

Man that just changes the perspective of things. nasty

[@vhan2902]

when are you in the detroit area? i will be there...

[@karmakeeper2335]

Mob Boss moves

[@kylestarfaux]

A guy who is properly trained with a knife is a fucking scary thing.

[@BradRhame]

Wow, impressive

[@outofthebox7]

The Kali guy looks like Mike Zambidis.

[@NicholasWhiteley]

Correct me if I am wrong, but the title of the video led me to believe that it would teach how to disarm a knife, but the knife did all the attacking..... confused. Sorry please explain for mr dummy

[@thiagonazario9135]

muito bom as técnicas

[@ShaunKeefe]

Ok, I have watched a lot of Mastro's videos. I am 1:20 into this one and I am damn sure (as if I wasn't before) that I never want to be a real opponent of Mastro where he has lethal intent. Holy shit, these cuts will disembowel someone. They will just watch their own guts fall out after he is done.

[@user199543999]

2:30 Casual Pigeon is also interested in self defense

[@bettyofberkeleyva]

How many states can you legally carry a knife with a knife longer than three inches?

[@bettyofberkeleyva]

I was just curious. In Virginia, you cannot carry a concealed knife with more that a three-inch blade, I have my NRA knife which I carry, but mostly I depend on my 38 special against a knife. I know I have seen hunting knives open-carried here.

[@bettyofberkeleyva]

Thanks for the input. Have a good nite : )Dark Winkle

[@taez8200]

He’s teaching a knife user to kill his victims at the start

[@Replay117]

Hi Fred Have you ever read the book " The book of five rings" By Miyamoto Musashi ?

[@Yaamaazz]

Knifes are a reason i wear mail because there so fucking common in my city. scary stuff

[@aidenblessing7670]

Good luck ever winning any type of fight with this guy

[@shan9usfc]

Is the goal here to disable the enemy? He keeps using cutting motions.

[@MrShiki1134]

im from manila.. brgy holy spirit district.. ive seen knife fights end in 1 strokes and stab... ive also seen rare sword fight.. 2 guys of moro descent carrying kris sword and fighting on the street... it was bloody... walking home 3 am.. im not good at knives but im well versed in suntukan... :D

[@Tom777CA]

It's scary enough when someone pulls out a knife.... But when that person is an expert has been training for years with knifes....... Oh shit..... but Fred seems like a professional and would use just enough force to let the attacker know he made a big mistake, rather than killing the guy.

[@BlackMaskq]

Like Master Wong said. Learn this now before your enemy do lol

[@AK-ex4xl]

He should have shown how to protect from the knife attacks instead.

[@WhiteBoiDave]

TOP!

[@johndoe-oo4el]

The best knife defense is an RPG.

[@charliesims2380]

2:45 arm triangle him arm triangle arm triangle

[@jameswmallory6634]

open a dojo near BRANDON FL PLZ!!!!

[@engyasir2393]

This man very danger 😰😰😰

[@cristobaltorres3625]

MASTER

[@jamesthirston5037]

i couldnt handle the vid lol

[@andychrist77]

Not for defense, just good old fashion thuggery

[@TheDannyddd]

im noticing that shear force is a big component of martial art techniques, not that I'm an expert though

[@deancarey5098]

It all depends on the situation. Sometimes you need to be precise but sometimes you just need brut force

[@brendanbate5440]

actually its lacking in a lot of practitioners content but Fred is pointing out that the blade doesnt negate the need for force in combat

[@TheDannyddd]

true.
