About this course

Since 2014, Kieren Krygier has spent years tracking down and filming traditional martial arts masters across Southeast Asia — in temples, gardens, training halls, and private homes.

Every episode of The Martial Library involves far more footage than ever reaches The Martial Man public channel. Extended interviews, off-camera conversations, rare demonstrations, and unedited teaching moments. That material lives here.

The Martial Library is where members access what the public channel does not show.

Description

The Martial Library gives members access to 120+ exclusive videos — footage filmed during The Martial Man’s decade of on-location documentation that was never publicly released.

This is not supplementary content. Some of the most candid and technically detailed material from every filming trip ended up here — masters speaking freely, demonstrating principles and sharing things they would not repeat on a public platform.

New videos are added continuously as filming continues.

Exclusive Videos

Since 2014, Kieren has travelled throughout Southeast Asia documenting authentic martial arts traditions and speaking directly with masters who have dedicated their lives to these arts.

Inside The Martial Library, members can watch exclusive footage from these meetings — material that has never been released publicly and offers a deeper look into the knowledge, philosophy, and training methods of traditional masters.

What’s Included?

What is inside the Library is not a polished course — it is a vault. Raw and extended footage from encounters with masters of Tai Chi Quan, Wing Chun, White Crane, Yi Quan, Goju-Ryu, Pencak Silat, Muay Thai, Bujinkan Ninjutsu, Silambam, and more than a dozen other traditions.

Good video content
“There’s such a wealth of information uploaded to The Martial Library and I’m grateful to be able to tap into it. Of course, it’s a given that martial arts should be learned from a "hands-on" approach but there is still much that can be gleaned from observing (and re-watching!) good video content. Thank you!”
