Anantasak's Range Control Mastery | Muay Thai

Muay Thai highlight of Anantasak Panyuthapum's precision in controlling the range of a fight.
In this video, Anantasak's ability to keep his opponent exactly where he wants him is highlighted.
This strong golden era fighter uses several weapons to keep Singdam O Aukritt at arms length for the entire contest; the two main weapons he uses are his jab and his thigh/hip teep.
The jabs thrown are minimal in commitment, i.e. he doesn't step forward a great deal - sometimes not stepping his rear foot in at all. He springs right back to his starting position to avoid the counter and draws Singdam onto one of his attacking blows such as his trademark rear uppercut or elbow.
His teeps are also thrown at close range, and do not rise above hip level. Again, this keeps Singdam within striking distance at all times which allows Anantasak to dictate the range of the fight.
The jabs set up the teeps and the teeps set up the jabs...
The slow-motion elbow is the strike that cuts Singdam and effectively ends the fight. In their first encounter, Anantasak finishes the fight with the exact same elbow and set up.
This fight took place at Lumpinee stadium in 1993, and serves as a muay Thai masterclass in controlling the distance of a fight (and opponent).

This is art.

[@Deftonedd4]

It really is .

[@AdvancedMuayThaiTech]

these vids are great, watch and learn, not a bunch of nonsense talking, reading etc.

[@VictorAHunter]

as someone who knows little to nothing about muay thai I finding having someone explain to you how it works can be helpful but I guess each to there own init

[@vitorfogaco6559]

@@VictorAHunter if you know little watching with attention will teach you more than some dork explaining things to you.

[@jsisisisiissisis]

And better than a coach in a group class who gives you little to no attention.

[@sahara2440]

The jab is the key!

[@Ryu-ux9ue]

Not only

[@skywalker1391]

Teep also

I love this styles simple appearance

It's like an art form. The man was gifted.

[@scotoftheanarchic.7903]

Incredible amount of Thai fighters southpaw.

[@FCar-hx6uf]

Yes. I think theres like a 30/35 % of them that are. Unlike in english boxing where its like 5/10 %.

[@ancientdarkness3102]

I think his style would be really good in a street fight. Teeps to keep the opponent at bay, low kicks to destabilize his posture (without lifting the leg too much and risk getting it caught), few well thrown punches and devastating elbows

[@TripleEightss]

idk how well teeps work in street fights. especially with how easy it is to catch the kick with no gloves.

[@ancientdarkness3102]

@@TripleEightss not really, unless you can't throw them well. its just as likeable as breaking your fingers while trying to catch it, also depending on the shoes you have

[@ancientdarkness3102]

@@TripleEightss teeps to the knee cap work even better

[@pollsayspaul]

@@ancientdarkness3102 teep to the nuts can work even better

[@peppa7926]

@@TripleEightss they work great trust me, I ended my first street fight ever with a hard unexpected teep to the solar plexus while he was trying to square up walking towards me because I knew I wasn’t about to try to box him and risk getting fucked up lol, sent the guy flying on his ass and took the wind out of him.

Or Pacquiao looks like a young Anantasak

[@clm3888]

@@ninthkaikan1544 yeah that's exactly what I meant. In Philippines Muay Thai was televised so a young Pacquiao say him and copied his look or in Thailand Philippines boxing was televised so he copied Pacquiao's look. Clearly...
Noone copied the other. It was just the look. Pacquiao is a famous person that also looked like that.
