Fred Mastro is not your typical martial artist. Born in Charleroi, Belgium — a city once called the ugliest in the world — Fred built his system, the Mastro Defence System (MDS), out of necessity. This documentary explores his philosophy, his background as a nightclub bouncer, and the real-world applications that shaped his approach to self-defense.
This is not sport. It’s not choreography. It’s what happens when rules disappear.
In this film, we cover:
What makes MDS different from traditional martial arts
How Fred uses pain compliance tactics developed in dangerous environments
The controversial techniques that spark debate in the self-defense world
Interviews with fighters, coaches, and students who’ve trained with Fred
The viral “fish gill” move that had the entire seminar saying “ah-ha”
If you’re interested in Krav Maga, combatives, or street fighting. this is a deep dive into the mindset of a man who lives between two worlds—civilized and anti-social.
Featuring:
Fred Mastro (Founder of MDS)
Cliff Odette (Head of MDS North America)
