I rarely tell this story, but i traveled to Thailand and met Senchai. We sparred on a few occasions. The last time we were sparring, and i had him against the ropes. I was definitely getting the upper hand. I was about to finish him, but then alarm clock went off, and it was time to get ready for work.
I've read lots of comments that say "good elbow" or "why he was wrong? He saw an opening"....guys in sparring there are 2 ways above all: The Dutch way of sparring (which translate in giving all you got in sparring like it's a real fight, for example the training Ramon Dekkers did) and The Thai way (in which you focus on balance, timing and techniques with very light impact; because in Thailand the matches are very close one to another, so getting injured on sparring is stupid for them). Train smart, not hard
In which case Saenchai should have called a pause, re clarified the rules of sparring and started again. Instead the video claims that he increases the aggression of the sparring? Doesnt seem mature or smart to me.
@@user-ed9qc4fp5b the video claims that if you're gonna disrespect a legend in this sport trying being cocky and not following the relus that usually are early clarified, you're gonna get what you were looking for(which I don't think it's smart either) .

Even more dumb to try Dutch sparring with a super famous Thai fighter who's in his 40s idk why anyone would ever think that is an okay or smart thing to do
@@quince537 I mean I didn't think about it until I did this, but it's actually pretty safe if somebody grabs your leg if you know what to do, because at least one of their hands cannot block, and you still have two hands
The biggest disrespect you can do is using elbows during sparing, i see few coms that dont understands that, you have to practice muay thai to know some of the codes :)
I actually think the elbow was inadvertent, just not enough control of his body. It looked to me he may have just been turning around with his elbow out a little bit. Still right to potty train him though.
He intended to throw it as if to say "this is how I would get you" but I don't think he intended to connect with it. It's a stupid statement to make either way because what is Saenchai supposed to do? Drop his guard, pause everything, throw on a monocle, then start speaking in a fluent British accent saying "you know in all my years, I've been waiting for this moment. The moment to come across a fighter who had the fighting intelligence to absolutely stump me with his technique. I needed to find just the right person to replace me and now I know I finally found him. Here. You take the Green Lantern ring now."
Always turns me off trying bjj. Douchebags in martial arts. At least with striking you are unlikely to end up with torn ligaments when the "tough guy" decides to prove his insecurity
I think it’s pretty clear that was a misjudgment of where the MOST ELUSIVE MUAY THAI FIGHTER EVER was gonna be as he threw a spinning back fist. If your immediate thought was “then why wasn’t his arm already extended?”, you’ve been throwing spinning back fists wrong.
yeah actually elbow and knee is effective vs striker like rodtang or tawanchai who needs his punching or kicking range. in fact superlek won and got his belt as a world champion vs him. even saenchai went furious when you used elbow on him.
No elbows in sparing without elbow pads mate. Might as well not wear gloves and go bare knuckle if you're just gonna be hitting your partner with the "sharpest" bone in your arm
Just a heads up its atory time boys n girls. Watching this git me feeling nostalgic and even started reminiscing. So, for abt 6yrs trained Thai boxing/Muat Thai under kru kongnapa "kong" Lumpa even fallowed or would meet him up at diff fight gyms for training. Every now & then there were ppl from a fight team or just repping the gym where they trained would be in the middle of camp preparing for a fight in diiferent sanctions, category like smokers/amateur, pro-am, or pro. There was absolutely no elbow in during sparring. Unless under certain conditions. For example in my case only because the of similarity in height and weight and I'm hopefully assuming the skill level LOL. I was asked i could help with being sparring partner? They were in need of sparring partner who was a pro fighter. I felt honored so of course I said yes. Then I was asked to gear up but also asked if I already had headgear elbow pads, and a cup...i was then instructed to put them on! Let me just say from my own experience fighting in a smoker. Especially because this was the first time sparring with a pro idk but it felt like I never saw when the elbow was being thrown. Like the first two rounds were like, oh shit, wtf, then it clicks and its like this is so cool that are usually never used in class or during a training session. So a lot of respect and trust is learned real quick... The End 😅
Honestly, I think he hit Sanchai by accident with his elbow, you can see look on his face like “Oh sh!t, I didn’t mean to do that.”, but it was too late 🤣😂😂😂
Is it just me or does that elbow doesn't look intentional at all. Just looked like he wanted to turn around and face the opponent. I mean the elbow wasn't even raised at all!
To be fair he might have been referring to those who don't fight professionally and might have been sparring with others who don't have fights coming up.
No elbows and knees to the face when sparring. You’re not there to hurt your sparring partner. Once inside the ring, Muay Thai allows knees and elbows.
Just STOP with these “Saenchai not happy if you do this!” videos. Saenchai is happy to see creative students otherwise why would he teach in the first place?
There’s an unspoken agreement between a profesional with hundreds of fights who is arguably one of the best muaythai fighters on the earth, VS you. He doesn’t try to kill you, and you don’t take that kindness for weakness.
He needs to put headgear to protect himself so he don’t get upset when he’s on the receiving end. A good coach should expect his students to do their best. That’s how they learn to prepare for real fight.
I don't see him doing anything wrong everyone gives a lot of respect to everyone or too much respect that you'll never figure out where you stand on your level you know you sometimes you have to throw stuff to see if it works and then afterwards you have to take the punishment that's life and in fact I'm pretty sure Mr 400 Muay Thai fights thought about it and was like okay I can turn it up on this guy because it doesn't look like the guy was intentionally trying to hurt him even though there are guys like that it still seems like there was still a little bit of respect there on both sides it looks like he was like let me try to see if I can hit the big brother with this now still he should have probably use the elbow pad because that's kind of messed up if you cut them and you know should have let him know you were going to go a little bit different and throw some stuff you know other than that Usborne your defense is supposed to be up on both ends so for the instructor he should be more on his defense and on the student you know it's a good job because you spar with your students to see if they're going to throw something sometimes you get caught and that makes you better as a teacher or if you want to try to get somebody that's good you won't ever be able to throw it in a fight if you can't do it in the air you can't do it in a fight so you got to practice it while you're sparring you can't just throw it on guys that don't know what they're doing all the time and yeah you can get it off if you throw it on somebody that's good then maybe you're like okay maybe this will work yet at the same time you got to understand no too was he going that hard was he really paying attention or was he playing around so and then he turns it up so you got to take the consequence
It’s bad etiquette to elbow in sparring due to the dangers of being cut or worse. If you do spar with elbows you have to have pads and even with pads you do it extra soft

Probably just force of habit. It was that guy's "go-to move" in that situation. But he paid his tuition and learned some lessons!
You never throw elbows in muay thai sparring saenchai kept his cool here, a class man
Guys I'm very underrated muay thai channel. I am muay thai. Subscribe if u can, 🙏pls❤god bless u
@@silky2916you can definitely throw elbows in sparring
Saenchai only had a million fights just another in the office 😳🤷🏼♂️
Just gave him a tiny taste of what could happen...
It’s incredibly rude to keep sparring and not apologize after you know you fucked up.
"So you have chosen death"
That alert warning came up makes me cracking😂😂😂
Friendly mode turned off... Grrrr
The crazy thing about sparring is that half of that class probably missed the spinning elbow landing and just saw Saenchai get mad for no reason.
Always mime the elbow in sparring
I don't think he intended that elbow to connect.
You don't throw them in sparring for a reason
I witnessed this in person 🤣🙏🏽
There’s always one bellend,saenchai could kill him at any time he wants,so always get someone taking the piss out of people being nice
Fuck that mode activated.
Simplistic yet hilarious editing
Just hint the elbow in sparring, no need to connect no matter how light. Unless headgear or elbow pads
what connection?
Did he not get the memo?.
Even Bill Murray knows no elbows in sparring practice!
His face was just like “no you didn’t do that, right let me teach you a lesson” 😂
He is awesome.
The biggest disrespect you can do is using elbows during sparing, i see few coms that dont understands that, you have to practice muay thai to know some of the codes :)
It looked like he tried to stop short but didn't have the control to do so.
True that
No, the biggest disrespect is teeping someone in the face. Elbows in sparring without pads is just being a dickhead
Why use elbow when sparing lucky Sanchai didn't knock you out
Kinda like wrist locks or punch chokes in BJJ, like legit but come on man it’s sparring.
The look of death! Lmao
Hit as hard as you want to get hit. Turn up the heat in sparing and your partner will follow accordingly. 😁
Almost looks like he's going for a spinning back kick.
Jajaja ora si se la aplicaron al sensei!...😆
Il ne l’a pas puni. Il est resté gentil …
thats so fked up.. you're learning from this legend and you surprise him with a spinning elbow on a friendly sparring match
nobody talking about how mike casually gave us his whole workout routine in the last 20 seconds😭
Using elbow means he wants to injured saenchai badly..😅
It’s always them dudes who act like pros after 6 months of their first training
I love Senchai he went light to say be more careful is all.
Even making the movement is wrong and disrespectful, but he clearly put 0 power into that elbow he didn’t do anything too scumbaggy
Where is this gym?
Whoops!
Even after that he's still throwing his hands soft.
Se picó el tailandés 😂
Soldado, si sabe lo que le conviene, no vuelva a revolver un avispero.😅
That was a sweet elbow though!
Could you imagine? Pretty sure bro meant no disrespect was trying to impress. That teep is a god damn piston.
i think he might have been spinning out of the grab saenchai did on his kick and elbowed unintentionally
Some rookie always comes in the gym showing off 😂
Love Senchai, he has is all
Bad move mate!
I actually think the elbow was inadvertent, just not enough control of his body. It looked to me he may have just been turning around with his elbow out a little bit. Still right to potty train him though.
And it was at this moment that he knew ...
I don't use spinning elbows in sparing. To much potential damage. Back fist light maybe but not elbow
Bro so disrespectful.. So dishonorable
That's why Elbows are not allowed in sparring.
Why would you elbows Senchai 😂
he is made like this and very material, as he feels a little painful, the boy accidentally elbowed him and he punished him.
If that’s real. That elbow would have destroyed him already
I dont think he intended to do that but it just happened😂
Definitely intend. God damn amateurs
Nah, he just reacted and actually tried to control it like ''shiiit sorry''@@khairt1731
Was intended

absolutely not, look at his legs
Man i didnt like the back of the head slap though
He find out the Master unprepared. Master give him tough life.
Hubo un golpe ilegal del parte del maestro!!! Mal hay..(en el occipital)
