Highlights of the FMA Demo at the 28th Annual Fayetteville International Folk Festival held in Fayetteville, North Carolina. DAMAG-INC Kali Combatives was there to represent this year's host country, The Philippine Islands. Special thanks to Liz Vasser and the Arts Council for inviting us and Jason Borean for filming.

I'm still working on it. So far, this is what I have to share.

All the participants in this video (excluding myself) are all enlisted military personnel stationed at Ft Bragg. All the soldiers in the video (except 2 others, a rigger and a MP) are Special Forces guys that have been deployed to the "sandbox" (Iraq & Afghanistan) and have been there more than once. These guys are trained warriors, and to them this type of training is alot of fun and challenging. I take personal delight that these guys were even willing to go all-out the way we did.

I'm glad to read about how great a time everyone had during training. Though I only attended only one DBMA seminar 9-10 yrs ago when I lived back in Houston, TX..  it is to this day one of my most thoroughly memorable training experiences. Reading about this recent report triggered back to the present how great it felt to experience training and fighting under the guidance and wisdom of Guro Crafty. That also includes
the RUSH and excitement that I along with the rest of us in attendance were experiencing.
Congratulations, Ivan. You dog!

 in addition to the FMA footwork
based with the high-intensity conditioning of
Muay Thai pad training and Full-Contact sparring
completed with a hybrid blend of
submission grappling/groundfighting
methods and it's rugged conditioning training
to complete the total attributes required
to all the ranges of fighting from the ring, mat,
to the street or battlefield.
 
Okay.... now I gotta get known around to attract the interest in training with us.

I just noticed you asked by name for my thoughts.

FWIW these dummies have never resonated much for me.  I do like tires and hanging balls and also like narrow diameter Thai bags-- better shin conditioning I think.

I have found the use of tires to work effectively simply because they can take more "punishment" due to their durability. I also like the fighting man dummy from I & I sports.
