TAKEN Fighting Style | Fight Scene Breakdown 

+Jamyang Pelsang Thanks so much, I appreciate that. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. I might make a separate channel for these. We'll see...

Making a separate channel may be a good idea. Or just a separate series? It doesn't seem like the hectic camerawork of modern action movies are going to go away any time soon unless John Wick/Atomic Blonde type movies become more popular.

Haha! That would be nice lol

+Greg Daniels Thank you good sir. More on the way

+Garry Lockwood Thank you sir. I appreciate the comment and support. I hope to do more of these videos in the future. Just will be here in about a week, so I will try and do a video if he allows it at the seminar.

+Rance 808 there is a time and place to let go of it for sure

@@JoeyBslash3 Yeah once you removed it.

+Jamal Ashley As always, thanks bro

U welcome

+Jason Peter Todd/ The Red Hood I plan to :)

JoeyBslash 3 AWESOME I love your videos man keep up the good work!!

+Jason Peter Todd/ The Red Hood for sure! Thanks for the support

+Flashlight Films Thanks!

+California Combatives Club 209 because you're a big lame-o 😉

+Samuel Asamoah Thanks

ROFL 😂🤣

JoeyBslash 3 Great to see an uploader who replies to comments even long after the video was uploaded - I appreciate that. :) If I may make a suggestion: could you please do the final fight scene from Taken 2 (the one-on-one fight)? I’m also curious as to how realistic that one is, especially with the handwork (I’m not a practitioner of martial arts, but I do appreciate realism in movie fight scenes). Thank you!

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it and the suggestion. I definitely have that one planned, just need to film it. I try to reply to everyone. I am able to do that now, but as the channel grows, it will get more difficult im sure lol

+Trong Review Good suggestion

please

+edi oh I know bro 😉 just breaking down the choreography though 👍

How would it be done? 'Over the knee?

Jaybird196 I guess that's the best variant, but there are others too relying on rotation.

edi Thanks. Would it be a straight, or bent, armlock? I'm only superficially familiar with SE Asian arts.

Jaybird196 look for combat aikido or similar

Yea, I thought so too. It showed you Brian's skillset in many ways

JoeyBslash 3 Facts!

BTW What fighting style is this do u know? Is it Sayoc Kali?

According to the special features, I think they said Tang so do or something like that. This particular maneuver is in most martial arts though. I learned it in Filipino Kali, but I'm sure it's somewhere in gung fu, karate, krav maga, etc. All martial arts come to the same or similar conclusions (tactics and techniques) when they ask the proper questions for self defense.

JoeyBslash 3 Appreciate it man , thanks a lot, again great video and breakdown.

I have heard of it, as some people have requested some fight scene break downs from it. So all I know of it really has been from researching some of the fight scenes. Looks brutal, not sure how the scenes fit into the story though, as I haven't watched any full episodes lol

@@JoeyBslash3 in fact i havent seen any chapter till the end just went through the fight scenes. Im not sure what styles is based on

+flip110119 Sorry, but Ollie is da best so far. Ray is really good too though...they all are lol

I'm glad you like it. Browse around and enjoy the content. My leg is broke but I will be back at it in a month or so

JoeyBslash 3 thank you. Oh, sorry to hear that. Rest up and best wishes for a good recovery! 👍 thank you and look forward to more content soon😊 take care!

Thanks I appreciate it

+Average Joe Ha! Thanks bro, as always I appreciate the support. Im thinking about having a separate channel for the Movie/TV fight scenes

+Phil Badone Lol, it is kind of a waste. Same with the Bourne movies. I get why they do it and I think it is a good artistic choice, especially the way the rest of the movie is filmed, but you definitely can't see what is going on for the most part. If you watch them in slow motion, you can probably figure it out lol

+Jaybird196 Yes, ideally

+Jaybird196 It's known as a destruction in Filipino Martial Arts. Other martial arts may call it something else

Thanks!

+Bai Ivan Thanks!

+TheDEATHHIT Well, I don't know much about ninjitsu at all. I've read that it is not like anything in pop culture, especially when they are dressed in all black. I read they dressed as everybody else to blend into the environment and such. What's your purpose for training and learning martial arts?

JoeyBslash 3 Yes, you are right in those statements, its actually thought to be more of a tactical warfare thing than a martial art. Anyway, my purpouse? Huuum I think there are 3. 1 - To actually know how to defend myself and whoever need. 2 - To better my body, to do awesome things with it. 3 - One of the characters I'm creating is actually me, and I want to be able to do the things I would do in fiction in real life too, to stay original to me, the character, which is me. Well WTF!? XD

+TheDEATHHIT Lol. I understand. If those are your reasons for training, I believe there are martial arts that will be much more useful nowadays than ninjitsu...unless you want to be an assassin lol. I can only really recommend the martial arts I'm training, Kali and Keysi. I've trained Jeet Kune Do a bit as well. MMA is good to train, but if you want to know how to protect yourself, don't rely on training a sport like MMA, boxing, etc. They are great and can be effective in the street, but they are martial arts based on rules and single opponents. To me, self protection training must include and be heavily based on weapons and multiple opponents.

JoeyBslash 3 Cool! Thank you very much for taking the time, you are awesome as always!

+Mark Smith Absolutely! The Online gym is going to specialize in training people who have little to no prior experience or training in martial arts. It will have many moves straight from the games, bit it will also have tons of videos on basic drills and techniques that you can work on your own or with a partner. The goal of the gym is to get you up and training. Many of the moves from games will be tweaked as well to have a more functional aspect for self defense. I will most likely show the move as best i can from the game for a fitness aspect...and then show it tweaked for a functional aspect as well

+JoeyBslash 3 (FIT-GAMER) Awesome brother thanks so much so there will be enough functional material and functional drills to make a complete style?

+Mark Smith for sure bro...i will be putting all my experience into creating a good program. When it comes to functionality, simplicity is key. There will be no high spinning kicks, flips, crazy throws, etc. All functional drills and techniques will be based on reality

+spiderswebs william possibly, they have some more moves I can probably do

Not this particular disarm. All he is really doing is striking the arm with his elbow. In order to disarm someone with a knife by striking them with an elbow, you need to be in a different position than shown here. Always remember, this is from a movie and should never be taken as real life self defense techniques.

+Michael Flannigan yea, there are several people requesting some stuff from uncharted so I will get to it eventually

+Gabriel Mann I'm pretty sure he trained Judo and Jiu Jitsu, and then CAR for the firearms training. Then they just combined them for the choreography? I remember watching the special features

@@JoeyBslash3 i have both those movies on my vudu lol can't wait for JW3 and there is a female counterpart this time to the movie

Yea, JW3 is going to be crazy! It even has Yayan, and Cecep from The Raid movies cast in it.

Yea, Taken 1 did it the best out of all 3. I thought they did the shakey cam and quick cuts very well in the first film, but the second was horrible, and I probably won't ever watch the 3rd lol

Various people in FMA. It is called different names for different martial arts. I dont like to get hung up on the names of certain moves because then everyone likes to say it is from this or that martial art, which doesn't really matter lol.

Puter kepala is a common name for this type of throw in fma and silat

Yes, I am well aware of that. I think I was first exposed to it and learned to finish with it around 1990. Got to the point where I could occasionally pull it off sparring full contact with 16 oz boxing gloves. When I taught it I just used the term wheel because my students seemed to absorb the concept faster and I didn't care if they knew its origin.

Nice! It's an amazing takedown and makes the opponent quite disoriented

+Kane and Lynch Not yet, I have many planned though. First one will probably be the knife fight on the subway from the 2nd movie

JoeyBslash 3 Yes in that part Jhon made magnificent martial art fight in order to get alive out of other killers hits.

+NOT PRODUCTIVE PRODUCTIONS Actually, I was thinking the same, considering I played a ton of Tekken 3, Tag, and 4 when I was younger.

thanks

Gracias

I will have to check that out

All sorts...my background is Filipino martial arts though.

+Karasu Muhammad Yes indeed the movie was awesome. The sequels were unnecessary and we're made just to cash in on the popularity of the first film. The technique was surprisingly well choreographed indeed

That's true. I wasn't feeling the sequels. It's like the fight scenes were diminishing. Oh and I have a request, now you know you have to do a scene from the 1st John Wick. Or if you're​ up to it, The Equalizer.

+Karasu Muhammad I've had requests for John Wick, so I will be doing that for sure. The Equalizer I haven't seen yet, so I will check it out. I've heard good things

You da man Joey 👍🤛

JoeyBslash 3 equalizer such a good film I recognize the fighting style they have in it it's Kali but there is a lot of fight scenes where he takes on multiple people as I can recall there's only 2 fight scenes that involved just two people him and his opponent only there is a fight scene in a diner where he uses his environment then there's more of a takedown fight scene shortly after like he gets the drop on the guy in knocks him out

I do get a lot of requests. That fight was fairly self explanatory in my opinion. And the reenactment would be hard to do, considering the cool cgi they use at some points. I liked how that fight scene was more of a professional wrestling match most of the time, with the slams and flying elbow drops!!!

JoeyBslash 3 for sure man good stuff, Wesley is the man though! Lol

That movie had some great action, but it was quite easy to follow for the most part. Any particular scene you had a question about? I try to only do stuff that is hard to figure out in real time. Or do you just want to see an awesome Fight Scene Breakdown episode from your good guy JoeyBslash3?! Lol

@@JoeyBslash3 this one looks cool : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dH8ogIrwEUA.html But you are the expert here ;)

True. This was just to break down the choreography

@@JoeyBslash3 I do Kobudo so I'd be looking for a twig or a broom to use as a bo staff hahahaha to be honest, further away, the better

Absolutely, improvised weapons are the first tactic if you have the time and range to employ them and are forced to fight. In this particular scene, Brian Mills (Liam Neeson) did not have any time for improvised weaponry, since he was not the actual target. He had to act quickly with a hands on approach. However, in real life, I would always advise gaining range and using improvised weaponry if possible in order to escape or if need be, incapacitate the opponent.

I plan on tackling that one sometime. I might not be able to do a reenactment though lol.

+Debbie Garrett I will for sure. I still have yet to play it though. Check out the Martial Gamer channel. He has tons of stuff on big boss

From what?

@@JoeyBslash3 taken

From the first film? I don't remember an airport scene that has a fight scene. Do you mean with the guy in the taxi?

@@JoeyBslash3 yea

Could be a nice quick one to break down

Lots of gymnastics in that one

Thanks

Why indeed

It all looks good on television but not street worthy you have no time for fancy techniques the basic techniques will serve you much better

@@JoeyBslash3 what’s up bro I was just wondering if you train in any martial arts

@@franktidwell6051 Yes I do. I mainly train Filipino Kali, but have some training in grappling and JKD as well. These videos just break down the movie choreography so people can understand what happened. I am well aware that movies are not reality

@@JoeyBslash3 I wasn’t trying to sound smart didn’t mean to by any means just wondering those are great styles by the way

Thanks

That would have been cool lol

Yup, it is on the list

They could, but that wasn't popular when Taken was filmed. The Bourne films made the quick cuts and shakey camera a popular way to film fight scenes, since they did it well, and the Taken films were made shortly after the Bourne movies. Then most other action films copied that.

+Michael Flannigan Working on it...it's very Hollywood type fighting, which is cool. There are some fun moves to break down for sure though

From what I gathered it was a classic case of an obsessed fan gone crazy (this is my own opinion. The movie did not elaborate).

+Ken Burke yea could be for sure

+Anglos3115 First one

JoeyBslash 3, does this counter attack really work in real life? And the way, which Mills throw his opponent by grabing his neck looks very cool.

+Den Bob I don't know, it comes from a movie. I wouldn't trust it. I wouldnt trust any technique from a movie. A movie's purpose is to entertain. Real life is real life. Training is the key, but more importantly, training methods. I feel confident after training the clock throw and destructions that they work when performed properly. But in real life the variables in situations like this are substantial. This is choreography from a movie, and I'm just showing what moves or techniques are being employed. The best part about this sequence is the control tactics and strikes before attempting any disarm. What makes it look easy is that the attacker was going after the girl, not Mills. So it was easier for him to gain control of the knife before any strikes were employed.

I'm sure there are techniques in Karate that are similar or the same. In the film's trivia, it is said that the martial art that Mills trains in is Tang So Do. I know this technique from Filipino Kali. So it doesn't really matter what martial art it's from, what matters are the movements shown.

😂🤣

@@JoeyBslash3 yeah, I'm hilarious! But at 2:00 minutes you said "that if he doesn't let go of the knife, grab the wrist, still do the cock throw "aw-pu-kat-pa-ta-wa" yeah.... eh, ya' lost me there Sir. Is that Filipino? Indonesian? Brooklyneese? I like the technique but what's it called? Please run that by me one more time... I'm old, brown and slow.

Clock throw...puter kapala...as far as I know, it's a basic throw/takedown in Filipino martial arts and Indonesian silat

I don't know if it translates to clock throw, that's just what I know it as in english

@@JoeyBslash3 Gracias, Maestro! Thanks, Teacher! Excellent recreations of dynamic Movie Fight ScenesI At 65 I continue to teach Filipino Warrior Arts.. . check out my website gurodonmuniz.wixsite.com/filipinowarriorarts

Taken 1 is great, the others are not really worth my time. They did.not need to exist and were just made to make money, and not necessarily to entertain.

That depends on what you mean by "fighter"

I don't know, I don't train Krav maga

+Nikos Perperidis I'll see if I can break some stuff down from John Wick sometime. That was a great movie

Which style this Joey what we could see in this Taken movie? Nice show! I liked!

+Leo E36 it's very effective if you have the proper training. Have you even tried it?

well i am not a fighter of any kind and even when i tried attending muay thai or boxing classes i didnt like them, i am fresh recruit in special forces and i passed hungarian TEK self defense seminar and have some other basic hand to hand combat techniques they teached me so i can say from my narrow unexperienced view i can really see myself hitting you in several moments, the left arm is free and your head is not covered, also the clock takedown is ehh.. would work if was knocked out already and you would even lift my hand from there unless its broken and i would let you because of severe pain. Also that position how you hold the person on a choke position, you need to extend the arm to full lock and then twist wrist down, also a bit of weight with a knee of a chest would be good too, or even left knee on a neck and right knee on chest(works best if person lays on his chest and you hold your arm behind his back. ALSO when defending from this attack in this kind of style my right arm would be not behind his right arm, i would use my forearm to hit his neck against wall and push up a bit. Thats what i can see, i dont even know how many moves out of this my instructors would do!! TONS
