I'm Thai. I came from a poor family, and I used to fight as a kid to get money for my family. I feel so proud of myself that I can put foods on my family's table 🤟 "We fight to live" like you said. Thanks you so much for talking about Muay Thai, Jimmy!
Thats awesome! Im American and started training Muay Thai when I was 11. Im 18 now and got back into it and can hopefully win my first match. Respect to you and your family!
There's a mentality to martial arts that a lot of people don't understand until they do it. Particularly the sparring side. The amount of discipline and respect you need to have along with a kind of mixture of confidence and humility makes combat sports very unique. I've done martial arts on and off since I was little. In the last few years I stepped back onto those mats my physical and mental wellbeing is so much better. I do better at my job. I'm focused, disciplined and completely un-phased by conflict or politics at work which gets noticed in a good way. Highly recommend martial arts to anyone that feels lost, self critical or anxious. Doesn't have to be Muay Thai, could be kickboxing, TKD, karate. Just needs to be in a proper martial arts gym or dojo, with an experienced instructor.
I started off boxing and then transitioned to an adapted form of karate, martial arts in any regard is a beautiful thing, not just because of the confidence it gives you, but the outlet and the brotherhood of it, I’m in college and haven’t been to a gym in a few months which has really sucked because I love training, but at the gym we have an area with matted floors a punching bag and a few pads, and everyone I meet who trains, no matter who, there’s always a level of respect and brotherhood between martial artists it’s truly amazing
An absolute pleasure being a part of this diligent documentary bro! Being here in Thailand watching this while living everything you're talking about, hits fucking different! I'd say to any man or woman who is healthy enough to do so, take the dive and watch yourself evolve on this insane adventure and potentially new lifestyle!
This is what true personal improvement means. And I am not talking about muay thai. I am talking about Jimmy. Production value for the show has gone up, quality has gone up. Interesting subjects with great research and execution. Also he looks healthier and in better shape. If you are reading this congratulations sir. Legit motivating
I am glad you explained the reason the kids fight. They often maintain not just their family but a whole village. While I prefer they don't have to fight, I greatly respect these kids who take up this responsibility and often have to pay for the consequences for the rest of their lives.
I've been training Muay Thai for two years. It's a fascinating skill and sport. Has taught me a lot (confidence, patience, humility) that I've carried over into other parts of my life. Always a fun workout and challenge, especially the sparring.
Glad to see you taking up the art! it really is amazing, it can be brutal and primal and like Vinny said in your video someone like Saenchai can elevate it to a thing of beauty. I hope you stick with it, and if you ever come back to Bangkok I would love to take you around to some of the more local fight venues on the outskirts of the city.
Making a video about a topic is one thing, but actually going out and experiencing it is next level! ... A crazy world, but you gave a really great insight. Some super interesting stuff! Amazing work once again Jimmy!
The muay thai community is like no other too. I've been to a lot of boxing gyms where itseall ego. It's the opposite in muay thai. They treat each other with immense respect.
I’m glad to see and hear that your eyes are open! 🙏 It’s a beautiful and honorable martial ART! We in the west are spoiled like you say, and we have no right to judge people that fight or let their children fight. I’m an old fighter (BJJ,boxing,mma and Muay Thai) from Sweden and I would have let my daughter fight but she was never interested so she don’t have to. But it’s really character building to learn to fight/defend yourself at an early age if possible because everything else in life don’t become a big struggle in comparison. Anyway, glad to see you’re positive to this! Chok Dee Krap
I'd say the *most* brutal sport is probably Lethwei (from Myanmar/Burma: basically Muay Thai + headbutts...) but Muay Thai is a great art to learn, whether for self-defence, fitness or cultural interest. Train hard, stay strong and good luck on your martial arts journey. I'm 40 and have been doing martial arts most of my adult life, so I can tell you that you'll have good times, bad times, and learn things about yourself and other people that you'd never know otherwise.
Bro I started Muay Thai about 3 years ago for fitness and self defense reasons, now I'm aiming to make MMA into my career! It get's crazy addictive when you get going! we'd LOVE to see more of your MT training for SURE!!!
Awesome Video Mate, Did start training with 13 with Tae-Kwon-Do and switched with 17 to Kick Boxing and MMA. It’s just a great sport. Was fun to watch this vid, have to go as well one day to Thailand to train there but well, I am in the 40s now, so its going to be for sure a hustle 😂 Keep up the great work, cheers
That end quote about emotions being there wether they're right or not are still there really opened my eyes to how I ignorant I can be to other people's feelings. Great way to explain how even fighting can be a form of expression, especially to people like myself who aren't a part of that circle.
I’m a wrestler and this videos intro is true I also do jujitsu and people get hurt all the time I personally have suffered from a broken rib and 3 concussions but I really enjoy the sport and went on to win state
Muay Thai is crazy, no doubt. But it pales in comparison to Lethwei. The sparks really fly when high level practitioners of the two sports clash. Great video and perspective too!
I dont know if its down to muay thia, or just the respect culture, but i have spent a lot of time in Thailand ( mostly small cities or towns) and i have very rarely seen a bar fight. ( and most of the ones i did see were between falangs or started by a falang ) ( falang/farang means foriegner)
U should start a second channel where is more like a vlog style video type because I'd love just to see you do more parkour,roller skating and this plus maybe even music
Hey Jimmy, I honestly kinda fell off as a viewer when you stopped posting parkour deep dives and rollerblading stuff But I really like these culture videos when you actually go to the place, that makes it a lot more engaging and fun to watch. Keep doin you man 🙏
I am thai and i think "Muay thai" is the civilization of human kinds ,we have just developed ,set the rule and propagated to all of you, not just only thais who could be a champion ,but all of you can be. And of course all of martial arts are beatiful ,you can apply it for making money,protect yourself,your family, your beloved one.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
could you make one more video about parkour.. i really miss that COVID era when I couldn't go outside and do parkour I would just watch your videos and eat popcorn!
This kind of reminds me of a short documentary I saw about traditional wrestling in India. They also had young children starting to practice as a way to make their families an income. However, they weren't putting each other thru as much physical damage.
You think Thai boxing is intense, you should check out some of the Burmese martial arts, head butts, you're only out after the third knock out (if memory serves correctly). Great stuff Jimmy !
Mui Thai is still brutal and one of the most dangerous martial arts,despite despite all it's rules it trains you to use your ever sigke limbs as weapons to strike with kick,punches,knees,elbows and and execute basic kicks and throws,We all know that mui Thai is very popular martial art amongst adults,and that is very useful in mardern mixed martial arts,but Mui Thai is generally considered as one of the most avressive and denferous martial arts,because it involves a lot of close range combat,and gas no defensive eqipments,Frequent injuries is one of is one of mui Thais Disadvantages,and because those technique involves kicks and arm punches practiconers are more suscitable if forced to the ground,Mui Thai also doesn't use the blobbling and webbing technique we frequently see in other style like traditional boxing.
As a Thai, MUAY Thai teach fighters the GENTLEMEN/WOMEN CODES too. It is the core spirit of the fighting. Respect your teachers, respect your parents and respect your opponents. That is why you never see Muay Thai fighters jump on the fallen opponents to finish them. However, I am quite wondering, in the “gripping” situation when your kidnappers grap you from behind how can you fight them with MUAY Thai. You can throw them with Judo or attack their ribs with Tae Kwan Do. But my MUAY THAI? Can’t imagine how.
I don't know if this is possible but could you do n overall history of MMA from the ancient freak sport of pancrase to the birth of jufo in India to it's adoption and revolution in Japan and eventually transformation into Brazilian jiu-jitsu and relevance in MMA.
Definitely keep doing training, and i would love to se som videos of your progress. Great video showing interesting perspectives, keep up the good work Jimmy❤
7.35 that street fighter character was inspired by The real MuayThai fighter named "Sagat Petchyindee" and he still trained muaythai fighters in Thailand my friend.
You should do an episode on bikelife, I think it would be really cool to see where it started and how the different variations became popular. I just really think it would be a sick video.
Samart Somrak (Olympic Gold Medalist same weight as Floyd) Sanchai and LertSila are the true showcase of MT martial art. How to leverage and turn weakness to strength. Put Lorlek is the Legend 40 years ago. Muay Boran is the warfare martial art that all Siamese must master including Siamese Kings and soldiers. Not lived to fight but fight to live. For freedom and protecting the mother land.
Nice one Jimmy, always enjoyed your culture vids, then me and my kids found your parkour back catalogue, so they love you. And then I find this too. So I also now love you . Keep it up. Do a full vid on Aussie bogans. I lived out there for a bit and loved the bogans, they like chilled chavs, driving beefed up holdens rocking out to acdc, so really nothing like chavs, apart from the working class bit.
Technically Lethwei is more “hardcore” due to having the worst rules in the history of combat sports. They encourage strikes to life ruining vital targets, they force you to wake up and fight again after you’ve already been knocked out cuz they refuse to believe you’re too hazy to hope for a comeback win
Yo Jimmy, How's the Muay Thai journey treating you? Lets have an update video please. I'm a big Muay Thai advocate and rate it as the probably the purest and most humbling combat sport there is.
if yoou think muay thai was brutal, wait ti'll you hear it's Myanmar counterpart Lethwei it's basically muay Thai, but no gloves, no weight classes, headbutts are encouraged, and the fight doesn't end when the fighter is knocked out, they are given few minutes to revive their fighter very dangerous, however it lacks the technicality and talent muay Thai has due to it's unpopularity.
I trained in martial Arts for 9 years and trained hard but when I went to Thailand to work and trained in Muay Thai it was brutal ok I was 50 but it was so painful I had to give it up because I was unable to go to work the next day
As a fellow freerunner who took up Muy Thai a year ago too, man feels good to see more people take up this art as well and realize how good it can also be. by the way I've been whatching since the marrero days, loved the vids back than and love them now too, great work m8, keep em commin and I'll keep whatching hahaha love from Brazil

When i did MMA i would start most fights with a powerful leg kick to set the tone that i can hurt them an drop them then i fought a Thai guy who just looked at me like 🤔 are u sure about this son 😂😂😂 I basically kicked a tree
Was out in Thailand a few weeks ago training. Went to an interclub show and saw two 4 year old girls knocking lumps out of each other was a very surreal experience, even if they weren’t being paid for it

yeah and sometimes you just need to go to the gym and smash some people, then get immediately smashed by better people.

Old time - fight to survive in wars.
Present - fight to survive in society.
I think that conversation that you were having at the end was extremely important and one that we as men need to start having more often.

Nice work, mate. Love the vids every time.
Let’s fucking go didn’t expect this keep it up
Muay Thai is very big in Brazil, i've lerned the 3 types, "Western", "Eastern" and "Boxing Muay Thai"

Lethwei allows headbutts and fights don't end after guys get knocked out.
After 5 years of boxing I started Muay Thai and it’s so much more fun and I feel much more secure in my ability to fight
Great video!! Good luck on your training journey 👊
Expectation vs reality
Technically Lethwei is more “hardcore” due to having the worst rules in the history of combat sports. They encourage strikes to life ruining vital targets, they force you to wake up and fight again after you’ve already been knocked out cuz they refuse to believe you’re too hazy to hope for a comeback win
I miss fighting so much i had a massive injury and cant fight ever again sadly 😭
Yo Jimmy, How's the Muay Thai journey treating you? Lets have an update video please. I'm a big Muay Thai advocate and rate it as the probably the purest and most humbling combat sport there is.
Muay thai is up there, but The most brutal fighting sports on earth are either Lethwei or King of the Streets streetfighting
if yoou think muay thai was brutal, wait ti'll you hear it's Myanmar counterpart Lethwei
it's basically muay Thai, but no gloves, no weight classes, headbutts are encouraged, and the fight doesn't end when the fighter is knocked out, they are given few minutes to revive their fighter
very dangerous, however it lacks the technicality and talent muay Thai has due to it's unpopularity.
I trained in martial Arts for 9 years and trained hard but when I went to Thailand to work and trained in Muay Thai it was brutal ok I was 50 but it was so painful I had to give it up because I was unable to go to work the next day
As a fellow freerunner who took up Muy Thai a year ago too, man feels good to see more people take up this art as well and realize how good it can also be.
by the way I've been whatching since the marrero days, loved the vids back than and love them now too, great work m8, keep em commin and I'll keep whatching hahaha love from Brazil
You only joined a year ago. It's honestly way too power. Westerners just want to feel connected to some culture. Ugh
@@AmandaabnamA the fuck kinda logic is that lmao, he's just practicing a martial art and you decide to insult him for it?

@@AmandaabnamA I'm brazilian, I have conection with a culture, just don't think we should restrict ourselfs to just one, but I guess that's the case than, sheesh haha
Nice video and hell yeah I would like to see your progress in the sport
Muay Thai is BRUTAL but if you want the most brutal combat sport you gotta check out Lethwei
These videos are very well written, you really have put the research in them. I bet you can do a BBC style documentary on these subjects, especially when you can go into greater depth on subcultures. Talking about subcultures, how about doing some video essays on subcultures like the mods, Ton Up boys, outlaw motorcycle clubs, the gay leather and bear subcultures, Kustom Kulture (I recommend you talk to Gene Winfield for this one), football casuals, Sloane Rangers or Rivetheads?
JIMMY! Please make a video on snowboarding!!!!!!
amazing video as usual, am a bjj practitioner, it would be amazing if you could do one about bjj, as it has a rich history just like muay thai.
I guess you never heard of Lethwei
I was expecting lethwei tbh.
Saw paing is the reason I know lethwei
fun fact: muay thai is a cut version of muay boran(ancient muay) which used in war and muay boran was actually developed like MMA so it was MMA before MMA
I totally clicked thinking it was going to be about lethwei. Lol
I didn't expect him to make this. I'm so happy that my martial art gets represented =)
Lethwei has entered the chat....
It was not only Ong bak that showed the power of Muay thai to the world but also Warrior king, both epic movies.
I don’t know “warrior king” but I will search for it. Thanks!
Now that's alot of damage!
Lethwei is the most brutal, it's like muay Thai but bare Knuckle and head butts are allowed among other things
Lethwei is the most crazy one
When i did MMA i would start most fights with a powerful leg kick to set the tone that i can hurt them an drop them then i fought a Thai guy who just looked at me like 🤔 are u sure about this son 😂😂😂 I basically kicked a tree
The Thai fighters are fighting in one fc where they are respected and some eventually fight mma
You should do one on lethwei
This is a pretty cool video essay
Big props to Torrell!
Was out in Thailand a few weeks ago training. Went to an interclub show and saw two 4 year old girls knocking lumps out of each other was a very surreal experience, even if they weren’t being paid for it
