The assassin his real name is Cecep Arif Rahman,he is real master pencak silat of panglipur style,in reality he is an English teacher and teaching Pencak Silat too. .he ia very humble and nice guy,if you have conversation with him,he is always give his the best smile while he talking,very glad guy
that goes for almost everyone involved in the raid series. especially iko uwais (rama), joe taslim (jaka) and yayan ruhiam (mad dog) are all amazing martial artists but they are humble and very friendly.
They use a form of Pencak Silat, a trad. indonesian fighting style that has many similarities with both Muay Thai (the elbow/knee techniques) and also Kali & Filipino Boxing. It has been theorised that all these martial arts developed from a common origin. Silat incorporates both unarmed & armed techniques, specially with bladed weapons like the Kerambit knife that they use here. It was designed for combat and to inflict maximum damage to an opponent and dates back as far as the 6th century AD during the days of the various warring kingdoms & dynasties of Indonesia. In modern days, they have made a more ''sports''-variant for competitions, I would not call it exactly ''watered down'' but it put less emphasis on techniques who are designed to maim or even kill an opponent. They do still teach /practice the more ''traditional'' techniques though all over Indonesia, make no mistake and specially the knife techniques are being incorporated in many more military type of training programs,all over the world. Also, director Gareth Evans who is Welsh btw. spend lots of time in Indonesia and worked on a documentary about Pencak Silat, before he made the movies ''Merantau'' & ''The Raid 1 & 2''.
Wow! Thank you so much for the information! I love getting to learn more about the origins of the styles and where they come from. I do love it when directors and actors take the time to understand the source material or the background behind the styles they are presenting. There is nothing more jarring that hearing it's a Muay Thai movie or a Kung Fu movie and they are obviously doing something entirely different. Shows a lack of respect for the arts in my opinion
@@doublep1980 really? Even tho pencak silat and muay thai mostly using elbow and knee But it seems that muay thai focus more on longer range combat style, but pencak silat as i know focus on close combat style, can those 2 really came from the same root?
@@luceindeep5879 There's a theory that Indonesian Silat, Thai Boxing, Fillipino boxing/Kali/Eskrima and Cambodian Bokator, all developed from a common, long lost martial art and then developed further.
Not so much believed than really followed in the same family lineage. Bokator I'm certain is the oldest form for these familial martial arts. Bokator itself beginning it's development around 2,000 years ago, and with its growth and the expansion of the Khmer Kingdoms, came martial arts from Siam, Burma, and many other South-east Asian kingdoms. Bokator to this day is still practiced in its more modern form. Due to the Khmer Rouge, many classical practitioners died under Pol Pots regime. Less than 60 Masters were left alive, and fewer wanted to teach. As recent as 10 years ago, there has been a sudden interest in the martial art and its history. EDIT: About 12 years ago I traveled to learn more about classical martial arts. I still have my papers too from that time.
As a practitioner of the arts as well (Okinawan Karate, Kali, Muay Thai, and Aikido), one of my masters in Karate and Kali always relate all martial arts regardless of style. That all martial arts has one common movement. And he likes to call it “The Universal Truth”, because as the name implies, they are all truths concealed in a different form. One good example is Kali’s Hubod and Panuntukan, if you’re familiar with old school combative Okinawan Karate, the way Okinawans block in a real fight is strikingly similar to how a Kali practitioner block as well in Hubod and Panuntukan. If you relate Kali and Muay Thai, in close quarter combat (CQC) applications, it also has very similar techniques. Hence, “Universal truth”. After explaining and showing this to me, it made me appreciate all styles all the more. Now, relating Silat and Kali, oh boy, do they look like twins. The only difference between Kali and Silat is the stance. Kali favors more of the normal way our body moves/body mechanics, while Silat tends to, as you can see in the video, to be wide and low (sometimes absurdly low) since they mimic animals and the jungle terrain (since pencak silat was used for jungle and guerrilla warfare back in the day). So yeah, it really does shed a light to the commonness of all arts, regardless of styles, and hate debates on which one’s better or not. All styles are effective, it will only depend on the practitioner and on how he will use the techniques taught to him. That’s why I love cross training with friends in other styles and also inputting and sharing my knowledge to them as well. That’s all for me, be blessed brothers, and hope to train with you all soon, if opportunity presents itself. :)
It's really refreshing to see someone watch this sequence with a more analytical mindset and knowledge of martial arts, yet still very able to enjoy it, unlike most people just see it as some cool Asian fighting stuff and move on. Both of the Raid movies really opened my eyes to Silat and to this day haven't been topped by any other action movie since their releases
Thanks mate! I have very little experience with Silat (none other than having heard the name before watching this) and I am really enjoying learning about it from all of you in the comments! You have to appreciate what these guys do, yes it's choreographed and not exactly realistic but if you've tried to throw a kick or punch with proper technique and know how hard that can be it gives a whole new level of respect for what they do
@@BurridgeMartialArts604 I was about to say the same thing he did but he summed it up beautifully. I love when a martial artist appreciates the movie magic in a martial arts movie instead of tearing it down for being inaccurate. I know martial arts movies are inaccurate. It's entertainment. I have seen plenty of mma fights with alot of skill and real world consequence that were not fun to watch. I love these movies because it's a representation of a style without being 100% accurate. I'll be following because you're a martial artist as well as someone who can appreciate the fantastical of the martial arts films. Keep it up!
@@corwinjkabuki the raid 2 put these guys on the map. so much so that some of the fighters in this movie actually appear in john wick 3. but those scenes werent as good as in the raid 2 because keanu obviously cant keep up this tempo with his age and size. its unfortunate that we will never see the raid 3 even tho this is setup as a trilogy.
Usually as a movie fight progresses they get hurt and tired, slow down and slug out the final blows desperately. I love how they ramp up the tempo and violence the longer it goes on, literally trying out will each other. Both movies are amazing.
The endurance alone makes this scene amazing. They did such a great job selling the believability of it by setting up the impacts with hard objects (the steel shelves, the floor, etc.), which makes the body strikes feel more legit. Even with padding, some of that had to hurt for real. Also, the reviewer is right, the makeup artist deserves a huge shoutout as well. This film delivers fight after fight without it getting dull or repetitive. Like the reviewer said, good choreography tells a story. These guys brought their A-game to every scene by not just showing techniques, but by each combatant fighting in-character. Incredibly well-done... :)
Raid 2 is so head and shoulders above any other action movie ever made in terms of intensity, choreography, brutality. It's a timeless masterpiece yet to be matched!!
I highly suggest you guys watch "the night comes for us" its another eko movie. And its even more brutal than this movie. Its def thebmost brutal movie ive ever seen
One thing I love about watching Silat is how fluidly they move up and down. and even when the fight is taken to the ground it's not just grappling but it still looks like the same fight with similar strikes, blocks, and throws.
Thank you! These guys are amazing and are incredibly talented in their fields. I would love to learn more of this style one day, but for now I will just enjoy what they are doing!
The one thing that I truly admire a silat practitioner is their dexterity ,agility and their fluidity. And their sneakiness to throw you off balance or surprises you by just by placing them self in the place where you are at least expected as if they teleported. And also, their ability to transition from a stand-up fight to mid or ground in an instant. They are fast and unpredictable. And They are very tricky To deal with to a point that it almost surprise you or caught you off guard. I spar with silat practitioner a lot when I was young, and it almost frustrates me as a Muay Thai practitioner. I'm happy Silat is finally get main stream thanks to raid. It's really a great martial art to learn at least for me
One of the things I love most about this scene is the look on Rama's (Iko) face as soon as he wins, the look of relief and realisationn of how close he came to dying.
I love the fact that everything in the kitchen was real except a couple of the prop items like the cabinet they slam their head into in the BTS they show how it has a lot of give and makes a lot of noise. It can hurt a little because it is still a kind of loose piece of flimsy metal but just switching if our and polishing it up makes such a difference in impact and sound design because it sells them with the dents and rattles.
The knife is called a karambit, it originated in Indonesia and was inspired by tiger claws. Because of the design It is ment to be a consealed knife. You can almost completely hide it in your sleeve while holding it
as we can see ,that sad expression of iko at the end of the fight after he killed the enemy , kinda feels like hes sad he had to kill one of the best pencak silat master like himself , here in indonesia , masters always respect others ,especially masters of the same martial art. damn, thats dope.. i just realize that shit
@@ThunderNerve iko's original pencak silat was betawian style of pencak silat called tiga berantai, not silat harimau but the styles that shown in the movie was mixed from other silat style
@@m.irfanhidayatullah3175 not completely, since project merantau Mas iko and mas yayan , learn silek harimau straight from the grand master , Rajo gampo alam in jakarta (tanah abang) since then his style strong significantly silek harimau, In fact i know exact event about it Im not a person who done searching on cyber, I know in person about the grand master and the history about early project of merantau
I was trained in Chinese Kung Fu, but my teachers were always very respectful of other styles and masters. That's how it should be! We're all trying to better ourselves through these arts, so we should appreciate others with that goal even if they walk a different path... :)
It's a sad fight , because you have to kill your brother , a same tiger a same style , but one is suffering under hatred the other was deceived by it . So it's technically killing your own brother from the same house you were raised
There is a tradition in madura, indonesia called carok. It was an old maybe ancient one when two guy or more can't end their business peacefully, they have to end it with blood. The duel attended by their witnesses mostly friend or family member. The duel dont use the first blood rule it likes gladiator, they duel till one of them die. The police can't help either, maybe the dueller did a ritual before they clash or something. Its Indonesian thing, spiritual and myth are still Co-exist with the civilian. This tradition too, is still exist even in modern era.
He was using Karambit. A knife that resembled a claw from Minangkabau in West Sumatra, Indonesia since old time. Formerly used by the agrarian peasant against the kesatria class (warrior class) from keraton (royal palace). This weapon then used as one of the main weapons in Pencak Silat. I hope this info helps. I love history. P. S : i am surprised you can spelled "Pencak Silat" correctly 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for the info! I love getting information like this it helps me understand more and more about these different martial art styles! Please keep the information coming if there is anything else you think I should know
Hey bro love the reaction! I did kuntao silat when I was stationed in Hawaii for 2 years. I do pentjak now. A lot of those movements with the karambit is to “check” another individuals arm. Example, you throw a straight jab with the right hand drill could be you parry with the left then your right hand comes up underneath in a circular motion then you push or grab with the left to either trap or bypass that arm and move them off balance and be on their dead side.
Every Indonesian region has their own Pencak Silat's style. Even they do same Pencak Silat. Iko Uwais played Sumatran style, while the other one with Sundanese style.
The small knife is Karambit. It even featured in some FPS games such as Counter Strike, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 etc. The curvy blade means to slit or cut tendons or throats.
the karambit is made in Indonesia in the 11th century and startet out to be a farming tool and utility blade and it quickly spread throughout southeast asia and got stong roots in malaysia and the philippines and the ring at the end is called a retention ring got a few of them i woundered about the history about them so first later the was use for combat sorry if i spelled something from my english spelling is not the best love the videos keep it up :) danish fan
As my former coworker once said while watching Raid 2, "Someone really needs to put some money into a Guns for Goons foundation or something". I really like the fight scenes in these movies and really wish it was on Netflix.
That kerambit is considered a concealed weapon. One have to be precise with the kerambit because it is a short range small blade, targeting mainly the tendons, veins, arteries or even the eye. People back in the old days have a way of greeting especially strangers so that they don't get caught off guard with this weapon..
3:20 Karambit was Minangkabau's origin, this type of knife was inspired from tiger's claw though some says the main function of this blade was mainly purposed used for cultivating the rice manually by hand on field
The knife is called Karambit, a pretty unique weapon indeed. Fun fact: Some part of this fight scene is taken from IPSI's (Indonesian Pencak Silat Union) Jurus Ganda, you could say that it is similar to kata in karate, but it's for pair (Ganda means double, can also interpreted as pair). I would recommend you to try watching the actual thing too
I blade to the chest would have quickly been the end , also the cut behind the knee would also been fatal ... One of the best fight scenes i've seen. Love how the camera does not cut away from the action.
The knife in this scene is called karambit. One of Silat's signature bladed weapons. It's also widely used in the Filipino Martial Arts (Arnis/Eskrima/Kali).
The Julie Estelle fight against the two assassins in The Night Comes For Us would be fun to react. One of the most brutal female hand to hand fight scenes. That or the Scott Adkins against Amy Johnston fight in Accident Man.
This is one of thee greatest fights scenes I've ever seen! Truly amazing, and watched many times, this goes beyond talent and choreography. Silat is an amazing martial art. Also if you've not already, check out Headshot - Iko Uwais
Just seeing your videos from past 2 days, man its awesome.... Its karambit knife, since you might have known about it as am very late to respond. 😂 but its hell of a knife, Good knowing u mate, lots of love from india and looking for2ard for your new video as well 😊
I also watched that fight choreography between Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian. Everything is on timing and perfect execution... Nice reaction from you. I also hope that you also react to the final fight between Iko Uwais and Joe Taslim in The Night Comes For Us...
Every reaction I have seen of this fight scenario has the same objections... Not the wine ... Not the wine... LOL. That looks like an exagerated version of a Karambit Knife, but I could be mistaken.
I know they intended to show the knife scene long and brutal and beautiful at the same time. But i can't help thinking that if Cecep used the Karambit to its full utilities, the fight would last 15 seconds, max
The main bit that makes me whince most in the whole Karambit part of the fight isn't the slashes across the body, legs or the final throat rip, it's the bit where Iko stabs his blade into Cecep's forearm then slices it right the way along to his shoulder at 6:40
The knives were Karambit, its represent a tiger claw. Originally from Minangkabau Martial Arts Style of Pencak Silat. Usually has only one sharp edge in its inner curve. Karambit isnt mean to do instant kill foes, but to decapatitated foe by hit the muscle system, one by one. The advantage of karambit is, it'll move as agile as your palm hand do, and hard to dearmed due to its ring.
Hey bud! Yeah, this fight scene gets me going! I have watched it like umpteen times! Um...and you might wanna check out the hospital fight scene from Mile 22, featuring Iko Owais who plays a South Asian asset holding top secret information.
The thing I loved about The Raid movies was the way people flew into things, it wasn't clean, like going back first into a wall. People hit tables or pillars at a weird angle that would hurt like hell.
The fight was over the moment the back of the knee was sliced. Tendon, muscle all cut through and boom you can't bend your left leg or even stand any more. And a martial arts "instructor" who does not know a karambit knife does not deserve to be called one. You don't want to be in a close quarters combat with someone who wields one (or two) of these, because you will be crippled for life even if you survive the fight.
I think Raid is where the producers and director of JW universe got that idea for wide angle and continues shots. Unlike most of other movies where there are more cuts than blows which result to continuity errors. Why can't MA movies be more like this.
What I dig is how they set it up to make it clear Iko had the edge hand to hand, but the weapons introduction made it a level playing field. Never a world spoken about it, but made perfectly obvious through the fight itself. Hollywood is GARBAGE with fights compared to these places.
Julie Estelle is awesome 👏 It is a great scene and the movie is a masterpiece. Next I would recommend Headshot where Julie and Iko fight again and Chocolate with Yanin JeeJa. Tough to find maybe, but also a gem. And finally Furie. That’s 2 movies starring 2 female prodigies.
The weapon is called karambit pencak silat had many variation based on the name of a city and based on animal moves, of im not mistake Iko Uwais pencak silat kame from a riau city from east Kalimantan island his paret is a Betawi decent and Riau Betawi are native people of Jakarta, the pencak from Betawi and Riau are very different yet had the same elegace and deadly as well Many weapon is used in pencak but by far 3 type of mele weapon are perfered and those weapon are golok ( in English is a machete) karambit like the ones used in this movie and last is arit some kind of scyeth ( i hope i write it right) In Muay Thai they use the knee and elbow as a weapon but in pencak most of the time are use to block and to divert enemy atack away and make the aponent exposed and open for and atack, plus the pencak silat stance are so low not like karate or Muay Thai witch is all moast in a sitting stance
One of the Most Amazing and Brutal fights captured on film frin true masters especially that philipino guy is unreal and he was in Star Wars and John Wick as well
The knives are Karambits... my absolute favs!! Human version of a raptor claw... got a good bit of training in them myself, but by no means a master.
but the karambit inspire from tiger claw...
the first maker karambit use silek/silat tiger style
Karambit is assassination weapon, useful if your foes is giant (for Indonesian) Dutch soldiers armed with rifle
Tiger claw.
kalimantan karambit silat
A karambit is more of a "get sliced in the neck nerd" type of knife
Gordon Ramsay : open the door kitchen now!
Chef : ok bosss

Oh Wow !!

I was trained in Chinese Kung Fu, but my teachers were always very respectful of other styles and masters. That's how it should be! We're all trying to better ourselves through these arts, so we should appreciate others with that goal even if they walk a different path... :)
Looks like he was sad because he was fighting to the death and was in that flight or fight mode. Relieved that it was over.
i remember seeing this movie in cinema and was so shocking and exciting definetly high octane action and sooooo brutal loved it
It's nothing like anything else I have watched in a long time
the pace of keep feeling each other back to stand again and again that's something hardly to find in other fighting scenes
Man!!!!! This fight scene and the music score is perfect blend.
Cecep and iko did really great.
The best martial arts scene ever.
Best fight scene ever. Amazing choreography. Unmatched.
The music for this scene too, was fantastic how it built in conjunction with the fight.
Mike Shinoda can make a soundtrack to kick ass too or get your ass kicked to lol
It's a sad fight , because you have to kill your brother , a same tiger a same style , but one is suffering under hatred the other was deceived by it . So it's technically killing your own brother from the same house you were raised
@love is trash bich need cash did you mean in the pre-colonialism era?? in old kingdoms era like Singhasari, Srivijaya, and Majapahit era?
There is a tradition in madura, indonesia called carok. It was an old maybe ancient one when two guy or more can't end their business peacefully, they have to end it with blood. The duel attended by their witnesses mostly friend or family member. The duel dont use the first blood rule it likes gladiator, they duel till one of them die. The police can't help either, maybe the dueller did a ritual before they clash or something. Its Indonesian thing, spiritual and myth are still Co-exist with the civilian. This tradition too, is still exist even in modern era.
@@theone5576 bro but not today.. dont make things up.. i am indonesian too
@@zairfinz8344 carok is a thing dude
@@theone5576 now we have constitutional law.. whivh forbid the act of killing...
He was using Karambit. A knife that resembled a claw from Minangkabau in West Sumatra, Indonesia since old time. Formerly used by the agrarian peasant against the kesatria class (warrior class) from keraton (royal palace). This weapon then used as one of the main weapons in Pencak Silat. I hope this info helps. I love history.
P. S : i am surprised you can spelled "Pencak Silat" correctly 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for the info! I love getting information like this it helps me understand more and more about these different martial art styles! Please keep the information coming if there is anything else you think I should know
@@BurridgeMartialArts604 You're welcome. And of course, Surely, i would do.
yep, thats true 100%
Both ‘the raid’ will always make my top 10 movies I’ve ever seen. It’s everything you need in modern martial arts action movie.
I know this is superbly choreographed, but some of those hits look like they REALLY connected. o_O
This is choreographed so beautifully that even people who aren't fans of martial arts or action films are hooked.
Hey bro love the reaction! I did kuntao silat when I was stationed in Hawaii for 2 years. I do pentjak now. A lot of those movements with the karambit is to “check” another individuals arm. Example, you throw a straight jab with the right hand drill could be you parry with the left then your right hand comes up underneath in a circular motion then you push or grab with the left to either trap or bypass that arm and move them off balance and be on their dead side.
Every Indonesian region has their own Pencak Silat's style. Even they do same Pencak Silat. Iko Uwais played Sumatran style, while the other one with Sundanese style.
njirr salah cok, iko sendiri yg bilang di channel vindes dia silat nya betawi bukan yg lain
@@freo2997 abs dari channel nya Vindes pasti nih 😂
@@julliegzb1481 hah? kan emang itu komen gw, ngapain lu ketik ulang lagi pak, 😂😂😂😭
@@freo2997 oiyaa... Baru bangun tidur guah.. anjay.. wkwkwkk
What would you say are the differences between the regional styles?
The small knife is Karambit. It even featured in some FPS games such as Counter Strike, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 etc. The curvy blade means to slit or cut tendons or throats.
First video of yours I've seen loved your reaction loved the respect for the artists
You have to see Headshot on Netflix. The police baton fight and the police station fights are INCREDIBLE.
Wow, I watched this movie. It's an awesome action movie, and how the main character emotions after killing another master is priceless.
Even the musical track added more intensity to perfect fight scenes!
the karambit is made in Indonesia in the 11th century and startet out to be a farming tool and utility blade and it quickly spread throughout southeast asia and got stong roots in malaysia and the philippines and the ring at the end is called a retention ring got a few of them i woundered about the history about them so first later the was use for combat sorry if i spelled something from my english spelling is not the best love the videos keep it up :) danish fan
As my former coworker once said while watching Raid 2, "Someone really needs to put some money into a Guns for Goons foundation or something". I really like the fight scenes in these movies and really wish it was on Netflix.
That kerambit is considered a concealed weapon. One have to be precise with the kerambit because it is a short range small blade, targeting mainly the tendons, veins, arteries or even the eye. People back in the old days have a way of greeting especially strangers so that they don't get caught off guard with this weapon..
One of my most fav fights scenes
Loved this fight and the music at the end as it kept getting louder was wonderful.
His fight with Yayan Ruhian, was amazing. I believe he was in John Wick 3 as well. Silat is vicious.
Nice reaction and moves review.
Fun fact, this Assassin guy along with Mad Dog are in John Wick 3. They have fighting scene with Keanu Reaves.
I just learned that! I have the scene ready to go and am excited to watch it!
3:20 Karambit was Minangkabau's origin, this type of knife was inspired from tiger's claw though some says the main function of this blade was mainly purposed used for cultivating the rice manually by hand on field
Behind the beautiful movements there are deadly moves, that's why we called PENCAK SILAT.
the fighting choreography is amazing!
btw it's not a haymaker, it's karambit.
great video
One of the best Fight Scenes in years.. can you imagine how long it took to Choreograph 😲
this is the right video martial art reaction shud be like...!!! double thumbs up to you ma bro!
The knife is called Karambit, a pretty unique weapon indeed.
Fun fact: Some part of this fight scene is taken from IPSI's (Indonesian Pencak Silat Union) Jurus Ganda, you could say that it is similar to kata in karate, but it's for pair (Ganda means double, can also interpreted as pair). I would recommend you to try watching the actual thing too
I blade to the chest would have quickly been the end , also the cut behind the knee would also been fatal ... One of the best fight scenes i've seen. Love how the camera does not cut away from the action.
With the level of adrenaline they probs could have kept fighting but the injury level would eventually most likely will have been fatal yes.
The knife is called Karambit. Very popular in SE Asia particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Philippines
The knife in this scene is called karambit. One of Silat's signature bladed weapons. It's also widely used in the Filipino Martial Arts (Arnis/Eskrima/Kali).
Incredible! Awesome! Amazing! I need to see all the movie ..because I always see 20 or 30 minutes of the last part
The Julie Estelle fight against the two assassins in The Night Comes For Us would be fun to react. One of the most brutal female hand to hand fight scenes. That or the Scott Adkins against Amy Johnston fight in Accident Man.
The knife is called karambit. Like most of deadly weapons, it was primarily a farmer tool, and this - in particular - a small gardening knife.
This is one of thee greatest fights scenes I've ever seen! Truly amazing, and watched many times, this goes beyond talent and choreography. Silat is an amazing martial art.
Also if you've not already, check out Headshot - Iko Uwais
I think because of this movie, Cecep and Karambit become a trademark. Whenever you see a Karambit you'll remember this scene.
Just seeing your videos from past 2 days, man its awesome....
Its karambit knife, since you might have known about it as am very late to respond. 😂 but its hell of a knife,
Good knowing u mate, lots of love from india and looking for2ard for your new video as well 😊
I also watched that fight choreography between Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian. Everything is on timing and perfect execution... Nice reaction from you. I also hope that you also react to the final fight between Iko Uwais and Joe Taslim in The Night Comes For Us...
Every reaction I have seen of this fight scenario has the same objections... Not the wine ... Not the wine... LOL. That looks like an exagerated version of a Karambit Knife, but I could be mistaken.
I know they intended to show the knife scene long and brutal and beautiful at the same time. But i can't help thinking that if Cecep used the Karambit to its full utilities, the fight would last 15 seconds, max
The main bit that makes me whince most in the whole Karambit part of the fight isn't the slashes across the body, legs or the final throat rip, it's the bit where Iko stabs his blade into Cecep's forearm then slices it right the way along to his shoulder at 6:40
Damn! Brutal! Awesome fight scene
Right!?
The knives were Karambit, its represent a tiger claw. Originally from Minangkabau Martial Arts Style of Pencak Silat.
Usually has only one sharp edge in its inner curve.
Karambit isnt mean to do instant kill foes, but to decapatitated foe by hit the muscle system, one by one.
The advantage of karambit is, it'll move as agile as your palm hand do, and hard to dearmed due to its ring.
one of the most brutal fight 💪💪😁😁
Iko Uwais does great work. The baseball bat guy and hammer lady fight scene is gruesome so check it out
I'll add it to the list!
thanks for the commentary!
atomic blonde one cut fight reaction?
this raid fight is my favorite in movie history. so intense
Hey bud! Yeah, this fight scene gets me going! I have watched it like umpteen times! Um...and you might wanna check out the hospital fight scene from Mile 22, featuring Iko Owais who plays a South Asian asset holding top secret information.
The thing I loved about The Raid movies was the way people flew into things, it wasn't clean, like going back first into a wall. People hit tables or pillars at a weird angle that would hurt like hell.
The fight was over the moment the back of the knee was sliced. Tendon, muscle all cut through and boom you can't bend your left leg or even stand any more.
And a martial arts "instructor" who does not know a karambit knife does not deserve to be called one. You don't want to be in a close quarters combat with someone who wields one (or two) of these, because you will be crippled for life even if you survive the fight.
I think Raid is where the producers and director of JW universe got that idea for wide angle and continues shots. Unlike most of other movies where there are more cuts than blows which result to continuity errors.
Why can't MA movies be more like this.
Karambit is a presentation of tiger claw, from the tiger style of pencak silat
Easily one of the greatest martial arts scenes ever put to film
What I dig is how they set it up to make it clear Iko had the edge hand to hand, but the weapons introduction made it a level playing field. Never a world spoken about it, but made perfectly obvious through the fight itself.
Hollywood is GARBAGE with fights compared to these places.
"oh no not the wine, NOT THE WINE" same reaction my guy😭🙏
Mile 22 hospital fight... Amazing with the enclosed space improvising
The Knives Are Named Sickles
The night come for us, "the operator vs two assasins" please
Oh Yeahh, thats an awesome Fight!
Yes please
Was an amazing scene! hopefully you can see it and enjoyed the video!
@@BurridgeMartialArts604 dont forget the last super brutal fight between Taslim and Iko.
Julie Estelle is awesome 👏 It is a great scene and the movie is a masterpiece. Next I would recommend Headshot where Julie and Iko fight again and Chocolate with Yanin JeeJa. Tough to find maybe, but also a gem. And finally Furie. That’s 2 movies starring 2 female prodigies.
One of the best fight scenes ever...give me a better one
the night come for us, final battle
@@eltioed5149 well done that one is definitely more brutal
End fight of the first Raid movie.
I love this scene and when Rama fights Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man!!
the fights in this whole movie were incredible!
Best fight scene in cinema history. Period.
Have you seen ong bak.?
@@SantiagoOXfir Ong bak is good, but the Raid 1&2 is masterpiece....
Style with fatality 👍👍👍
Iko and these guy's are the ones we need in NYC FOR A TRUE POLICE FORCE!👍
Could you do (The Night Comes For Us) final fight?
I did! But it got copyright blocked, I'm waiting to see if they release it for you guys to see. I did the warehouse fight and it was mind blowing
Iko Uwai for MK 12 - Lets go !
Great vid !!!!
how comes nobody seems to know,they carried this fight out for real,to make the viewers connect with the scene
I have enjoyed that many times yes but I this time I surely enjoyed you reacting to it.
Karambit knife one of the most easily hidden while fighting and deadly.
The weapon is called karambit pencak silat had many variation based on the name of a city and based on animal moves, of im not mistake Iko Uwais pencak silat kame from a riau city from east Kalimantan island his paret is a Betawi decent and Riau Betawi are native people of Jakarta, the pencak from Betawi and Riau are very different yet had the same elegace and deadly as well
Many weapon is used in pencak but by far 3 type of mele weapon are perfered and those weapon are golok ( in English is a machete) karambit like the ones used in this movie and last is arit some kind of scyeth ( i hope i write it right)
In Muay Thai they use the knee and elbow as a weapon but in pencak most of the time are use to block and to divert enemy atack away and make the aponent exposed and open for and atack, plus the pencak silat stance are so low not like karate or Muay Thai witch is all moast in a sitting stance
One of the Most Amazing and Brutal fights captured on film frin true masters especially that philipino guy is unreal and he was in Star Wars and John Wick as well
I'm pretty sure his name is Cecep Arif Rahman. I'm really excited to see more of his stuff!
He is Indonesian. And the right spelling is Filipino
Have you done the corridor scene from the first one? It's epic!!
Not yet but I'll add it to the list
