Yayan Ruhian as mad dog is a beast! He and the main character, Iko Uwais are both experts in the traditional Indonesian martial arts called Pencak Silat. They are the ones who did the fight choreography. This movie still holds up so well after 10yrs. You are right, kudos to the entire team!👏🏻😁

I'm STILL blown away every time I watch this movie. The DP is practically fighting right along with the actors because everything in the fights is kept in-frame while the camera is being operated by hand almost constantly. Very rarely a rig or track set up. I got my hand over my mouth every time the camera TILTS MID-FIGHT AND GOES BACK UPRIGHT ALL IN ONE SHOT. constant movement without losing track of the characters. And on top of that, this movie does something not nearly enough action movies do: it makes the fighting look both badass AND PAAAAINFULL. The fighters can still be impressive and badass as hell while also making you recoil in pain seeing them get hit. Every hit looks like agony, but the fact they keep going so hard is what makes it so captivating. God I love it.

Brutal, real feeling hand to hand combat with GREAT camera angels and no weird cuts for scenes. They wanted you to feel everything. I can’t say enough great things about these films.

The one that changed how I look martial art action film is actually their previous project : Merantau (2009). The debut project for Raid director, actors, and team. That film set the bar for them. The fighting is "softer" and less brutal than Raids but very grounded and beautifully choreographed. Since watching Merantau, all the flashy moves and wire-fu fighting often seen in martial art film doesn't interest me anymore. I used it as a benchmark for martial film that came out later until the arrival of Raid 1.

Iko Uwais (main character Rama) and Yayan Ruhian (who play as Mad Dog), both are fight choreographers for this movie. Let me give you a little bit fun facts about both actors, okay ^^ 1. Iko Uwais (Born February 12, 1983), Iko is a martial artist of Pencak Silat (Read : Phen-Chack-See-Lat) and Iko Uwais' grandfather was a silat master who owned a Pencak Silat Martial Art School. Before signing with Gareth Evan's movie project, Iko Uwais was working as a daily operational driver at ESIA, an Indonesian telecom company. He was 28 years old when he play in Rhe Raid redemption (2011) 2. Yayan Ruhian (Born October 19, 1968), Yayan is a professional martial arts instructor and a trainer of an inner breathing technique designed to condition of the body to withstand any impact. Yayan's father is Karate practitioner. Yayan Ruhian instead choose Pencak Silat. Yayan Ruhian started his Pencak Silat Martial Art training since 13 years old. By the mid-2000s Yayan had taught pencak silat in countries such as Belgium, France, and the Netherlands, and also learned several further martial arts techniques, such as Aikido. Btw, Yayan was 43 years old when he play in The Raid Redemption (2011).

The best action in films are the ones that tie into the story and characters; where the characters are reflected in their respective styles. I.E., Daredevil in Netflix took a gritty approach with Matt primarily using more boxing from his Dad(with some graceful acrobatics because of his training from Stick) because of his dad and that repetitive 3-time punch in the face is what I find as his signature: letting the devil out like his character. Fisk in both seasons 1 and 3 fought using grabs, headbutts, and slams because his character likes to take control of a situation. Bullseye fights ranged because of how he handles his problems from a distance. Rama's fight , especially towards the end, reflected a story and the characters. Don't remember the antagonist's name, but the psycho who loved fighting with his hands was brutal and methodical, relishing every blow and taking his time instead of quickly defeating them. He wanted their deaths to be brutal and is so crazy, he ignores his own pain. The fight scene told that story which is what makes it so remarkable
