Martial Arts Instructor Reacts: Raid: Redemption - Iko Uwais Pencak Silat 

i was the japanese translator for the raid 2 and i get to hang out with iko and kang yayan a lot. just a fun fact for you all, kang yayan does 200 pushups & situps every morning when he wake up from his sleep. that should answer why he never tires doing these stunts.

Yayan ruhian is the martial arts coordinator for the raid 1&2, so all the fight scenes in both movies is all created by him

The little dude is called Yayan Ruhian. A little trivia, he was the silat instructor for the Indonesian Secret Service once.

In record, no filmaker around the world has been able to recreate these fighting scenes from Raid cos of the unique camera angle. Not only that no filmaker knows how they perfected the scenes. This is a masterpiece

I personally enjoy the Raid movies' fight scenes over Ong Bak's. Ong Bak's jumping and flipping is fancy and all but I feel like it's unnecessary while in the Raid, it's simple, brutal and effective.

To me, the Raid guys are #1 in fight choreography, fight scenes. Their work speaks for itself.🤷‍♂️👍

In my opinion this the best fight in Martial art movies, brutal and gore.

what i always loved about this scene is it doesnt do the "ill way my to turn to attack". they fully take advantage of their numbers to the very end, forcing mad dog to put them down, even if just few seconds, with each attack. as you said, the raind (and its sequel) has incredible choreography. this fight, the machete gang, mad dog vs rama,...i honestly couldnt pick a favorite. the kitchen fight and the prison riot in the raid 2 were also memorable.

fyi, yayan was one of the main enemies of John Wick in his third movie, check it out.. there is also Cecep Arif Rahman, who is the final enemy of Iko in The Raid 2.

That is probably the single most exhausting, intense and desperate fight scene ever. And I use all those words positively. Plus the music adds such a wonderful lair to the fight. It truly feels like this is a real and desperate fight to the death.

He lost a bunch of weight and was one of the pair of fighters at the end of John Wick 3. Which considering how fast he is in this movie, it was still comical to see Keanu try to keep up with him. You can see Yayan waiting for Keanu in quite a few of the fight sequences.

So glad I got to see this in a theater, as well as the second one.

Iko Uwais when he entered the room to save his brother : *boss music playing 😂

The short guy who fight with 2 person is the master of Indonesian's martial art called Pencak Silat, his name Yayan Ruhiyan, Iko uwais who the man wearing black police uniform

Gareth evans camera work are just godlike and it help captured the aesthetic of choreography 🙏

Yayan Ruhiyan is fantastic with Iko Uwais. The pair is brutally intense in their fights! American choreographers need to get their head out of their butts and learn from these movies (including any choreographed by Yoo Wo Ping).

Those three actors actually hurt filming this scene.

I commented on one of your videos a couple of days ago, and it was one part praise, one part criticism. After watching a bunch more and subscribing, I just wanted to add a bit of praise. We all know movie fight scenes are choreographed, and many reactors will belittle them, but you always look like you're enjoying them like they are supposed to be enjoyed, and while you do have the occasional "ok, that's a little unrealistic" moments, it clearly doesn't sound like a complaint. I'm loving your reactions so far. I wish you all the best.

Man this is awsome you finally watched the final fight scene from “The Raid” sorry for the late reply i was kinda bussy for one week and my phone was being repared because of some internal malfunction btw i also spent some more time watching your “Donnie Yen” and the other two “Raid” guys reaction you posted 3 or 2 days ago and also “TCNFU” man that movie was way more crazy anyways thank you for doing a reaction on those movies (The Raid especially) i had a lot of fun seeing your reactions because you are a martial artist that of course study martial arts and breaking down some of the moves and know what the actors are doing in those fight scenes, it just seems different and more interesting than the other reactions I’ve seen on RU-vid well out of all of that i just wanna say is keep up the good work love all of them hope you’re view’s and subscribers increas I’ll pray for you and yeah... stay safe hope corona ends so you can come visit the “Pencak Silat” school that is one hour away from where you lived(i know this because you typed it in one of your comments)❤️🙏💪😎

Yayan Ruhian is the short one (Mad Dog in the movie) Side notes: 1. I first saw this movie 2013 and since then have considered these movies as a breath of fresh air from the mostly run n gun type action movies. It's like Ip Man but more brutal and gloomy. 2. Joe Taslim (Jaka who Mad Dog killed before that fight) is gonna be Sub Zero in the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie

Anyway, I recommend "Jaka vs MadDog" from the raid 1. That's one of my favorite fight scenes in the raid series 😁

That was extremely brutal beautiful style of physical combat.

That yayan "mad dog" ruhyan do the koreo with iko, they do all year for koreo originaly for the raid 2 berandal, this movie made only because they had no enough money for raid 2, glad that backup movie came great, thx for the react

I so loved the way he used the impacedforce of the hit to get up and make his turns to the second guy =O

Yayan Ruhian (Mad Dog) is a master of Pencak Silat style specialize in breathing technique to strengthen muscle. He loves getting punch in the stomach. 🙂 AFAIK it took 7 days to shoot this final fight. It's mostly full body contact and Yayan was the only one didn't wear any pad on his body. 💪 Also, Yayan was a trainer for Indonesian Secret Service before becoming an actor so he's legit. 🙂

i also admire that your a good person --Thank you. i wish i was training with you man sincerely

Dude Gareth Evans and Yayan Ruhian ALWAYS DELIVER. It's that finishing move that propels it into multi genre mashup status. Its their duet in the Raid series. I pray to god we get one more hit from them

He's the fight choreographer and has choreographed many film fight scenes across the world, he's too class

Great videos bud, well done. One recommendation is maybe considering swapping the view to where we see more of the clip and a small view of you.

The dude is Yayan Ruhian... also a silat instructor

“This guy is a bit mad, he’s crazy” Well yeah, his character there is called mad dog for a reason 😁

best part about this fight and they are went all out , those punches and kicks are real aside the throat cut of course

Pencak silat was a traditional martial art especially for combat free fighting..this pencak silat was used in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei and more used to combat fighting..this martial art was target to kill enemy without any weapons. There's a many type of silat in Nusantara and every movement in silat has its own meaning.

The Raid is arguably the best action movie ever made.Btw watch part 2, the karambit fight scene is savage.

The long hair one is Yayan Ruhian, the short hair with police vest is Iko Uwais, i forgot the other one name. Iko also played as an "police officer" on Mile 22 movie, starring Mark Wahlberg

Great reaction... You should watch Pencak Silat Demo in Japan ... It's so great, fast and beautifull too..

I felt I couldn't breathe during this scene, truly amazing stuff

Yayan is very cool He's in a Netflix movie called Wira as well and also he's in Yakuza Apocalypse which I desperately want to watch soon

Even john wick didn't kill Yayan :D

When - unfortunately - I was required to use the Silat I was taught years ago in service to my country - it was nowhere near this beautiful. -- Affective - yes. Silat saved my life.

He's not an actor, he's their instructor

teh small guy is 'Guru' Yayan Ruhian, Hes Iko's Trainer or master in Penchak Silat you dont want to mess with that guy in the movies.... even in real life

2:04 his real name is yayan ruhian, in this movie he is called the mad dog, and literally became meme because he throw away the gun, and perfer to fight with the fist

Yayan ruhian is awesome , he is a silat master ,

their name : iko uwais (the special force uniform), donny alamsyah ( long sleve shirt), yayan ruhiyan ( long hair)

you also seen to know camera angles as well… badass

I was so excited when I heard the guys from The Raid were in Force Awakens..boy was I disappointed

Love these movies, you should watch the final fight scene from Rocky Handsome the guys name is john abraham hes awesome

i glad i alwasy how great this scen

Elbow is the sharpest weapon that you can have on your body, while the range is short it sure have more impact than just punch or kick, i would say it's kinda have some critical damage hahaa.

Welcome to the world of Pencak Silat. So vicious and brutal. Both Lethwei, Muay Thai and Silat considered match to each other since their history encountered fight occurred

the man fighting 1 v 2 is Yayan Ruhiyan aka Mad Dog. He also cast a villain in John Wick movie

that short guy name is Mad Dog the police guy is Iko uwais

first video i have seen with 40k view without ads

if the dog wounded, he will in rage mode, so yes he is MAD DOG being the MADNESS DOG

the cute doggo in the background.. Ha

The one who fight (challenged) these two people is Yayan Ruhiyan and the one who wear armor is Iko uwais

I was watching it today

Thanks for the appreciation of pencak silat.... Banyak yg orang indonesia kynya yg komen ya?yg dr indonesia mana nih....?

I remember watching this with my dad. At one point he said he was starting to get sick lol

Enemy John wich 3,

He's well Known

mad dog name of the actor is yayan ruhian, artist martial, actor, por cierto buena reacción, saludos desde Bolivia

This is my favorite fight scene

Yayan Ruhian! Obviously a bit late to the party and someone called it below... but yeah, bit of a legend when it comes to Indonesian martial arts.

2:06 Yayan "Mad Dog" Ruhiyan, he's martial arts instructor especially in Pencak Silat

Yayan the villain or Cecep the raid 2 kitchen fight guy was the fight coordinator / choregrapher in the John Wick movie.

One of my favorite movie fights

That little guy is Yayan Ruhian..he is a pencak silat master and instructor..

The only thought I had in mind watching this whole fight scene was, What if it was a 1 Vs 1

This guy is crazy.. yep that's why he's called the Mad Dog

Pencat silat is the best when weapon come to the picture...

He is yayan ruhian or mad dog bro.. he also play as a fighter in the last john wick movie

The name of iko's enemy is yayan ruhian, u must check these guy too

The little guy as mentioned is the fight choreographer and apparently he wasn't supposed to be in the movie but no one could do the choreography as good as he could so he ended up in it.

The villain: Yayan Ruhian (Pencak silat master). The ally: Donny Alamsyah (an actor)

5:02 he is not his friend, but his brother

I'm glad that you didn't criticise the Guru. He is the real deal. And one of the greatest martial arts practitioners living. All three of those men are silat masters in real life.

This film is full of high level silat personels..

Did you watch the hallway fight though?? that scene is lit on its own. There's two hallway fight scene in the raid 1, the second fight scene kinda brutal but the first really show me on how to utilize pencak silat better in a fight.

Since 2 years have been past i think now you know his name is maddog.

I noticed these fight are already here, lol...but if it wasn't done already, the hospital scene from Mile 22...awesome in closed space fight

Watching this scene from the persepctive of fighting someone that good with my own brother makes me wonder how far I'd be able to push myself....an awful thing to think about, but that's what a good story does.

Idk if youve watched it but Donnie's fight at the end of FlashPoint is insane

Silat is a beast

the guys fighting alone, he fought keanu so yea. in Indonesia we call him "Mad Dog"

Indonesians have some really wild action films

The head spin in Kali and Silat is called a Kapela "Head spin"

The film expertly showcased Pencak Silat as one of the most fascinating form of martial arts.

I know him I don't remember his name but he is real martialartes he is master of pinchik silan in indonisia

I believe Iko Uwais is in the new movie Snakes Eyes , 2021. First movie 2009

Pride of Indonesia ! Great fight scenes, tight choreo, brutal ending the 'signature' of these fight scenes. Keren bo !

u can find this guy in john wick 3 too, very talented guy

Yayan ruhiyan played in star war and john wick 3 too, cmiiw

Indonesia martial art 👍

The short guy is "mad dog" yayan ruhiyan

Yayan Ruhian is the short guy called Mad Dog

You going to do the raid 2 final fight in the kitchen?

The little guy's name is Mad Dog and he has a fight scene with Joe Talsim in this movie that would be cool for you to cover. Forgive me if you've already done it

Ruhiyan's past job as military self-defense instructor for the presidential guards may contribute to the aptitude for gore in his choreography. POTRI Guards are all ex special forces, and so are their instructors. Silat is originally an assassination technique rather than an art. The artistic "kembangan" or fancy stance functions only to taunt the enemy. There's hardly a high kick in Silat, as the feet are meant to hit soft tissue and vital organs. Multiple punches are a rare sight, as its signature attack is the 3-finger rip of the jugular. Creating long fight sequences featuring Silat, therefore, calls for incorporating other martial arts. Otherwise it cannot be pretty nor long. It's always MMA, never just Silat. This is also true in real-life. You need other martial arts to soften your attacks in street fights; because using pure Silat will only get you in jail for murder.
