Buakaw is a Muay Thai legend known for his insane power, speed, aggression, and relentless pressure. But the thing that stuck out to me immediately after viewing multiple fights was Buakaw’s insane ring IQ. In other words, his ability to adapt his strategy, his style, and his techniques in order to dominate an opponent.
Studying how Buakaw does this should help serve as a template for practitioners of any style or discipline. - กีฬา

Great job as usual! could you follow this with the 2 fights buakaw v sato? Its only 6 rds total, a hell of a 6 rd war!
Awesome video as always 👍 can you do a video on Andy Souwer ?
Dude please tell me the song at the beginning of Ali vs Frazier parts 1 and 3 please
Hollyfieldvs tyson 1 &2 ! Trust
I wonder how he would do in mma
Never forget when K1 MAX tried to stop him from dominating by changing the rules regarding throwing knees from the clinch. Buakaw came back a year later knocking people out with his hands.
Yeah that was fucking shameful.
@@raywilkinson3129 how is it shameful? If anything it was a HUGE honor in the end... it allowed him to again prove his calibre, and become a better all around fighter.
@@djstrongarmgmail you know why why do that if everyone chuld do it
@@lamontgray6015 English please?
@@djstrongarmgmail I'm pretty sure you understand you don't change rules to try to limit one fighter
Buakaw has the perfect body for a fighter. Muscle, speed, power, endurance, skills, toughness. One of the greatest fighters of all time.
Facts..
Better than Bruce lee?
@@manssupar Bruce Lee never professionally fought, and though he may have possessed unrivaled speed, he didn't use it in full contact. I think Bruce Lee had a great potential, but he was more of an actor than a fighter, and with Buakaw's skill and weight advantage, Bruce Lee's speed wouldn't be too helpful.
@@manssupar idk bruce lee was amazing even tho some of his time went into acting so if he trained as long as him he would be stronger
@@manssuparsupposedly Bruce went to Thailand to film something and he was warned not to mess with the Nak muays while he was there. Obviously Bruce Lee would have to see for himself and invite them to spar. He supposedly sparred with some inactive recently retired pro Thai fighters and did not do so well. They train 24/7 from as early as 4 years old. You simply cannot compete with that.
Buakaw never fades. He’s been fighting for forever and is still seemingly in his prime. He’s less aggressive and relies more on strategy and technique now but that’s the usual progression in every fighter’s careers as they get more experienced and older. This man is the greatest MAX circuit kickboxer of all time.
Otto Von Bismarck absolutely!
He will become a grand teacher for sure.
He may be the greatest kickboxer but has he survuved an assassination attempt that had a bullet hit him and graze his ribs
@@lilwitchschierke2530 he is a teacher for a long time
He is like ying and yang
Buakaw is a Muay Thai legend. Known for his insane power, speed, aggression, and his glorious tan.
Datandoe
@Leonis Krigorian Sagat from Street Fighter?
Lol that nigga black as hell
@@s1iznc1d34 man the other guy told you other muay thai legends and you just said "doesn't ring a bell" wow just wow
@@s1iznc1d34 do research first man. your bias is leaking
Feels like he should be an anime character or something, his form while fighting is damn beautiful.
There's a character based on Buakaw in the manga Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru
He is Sagat's son!
or even sagat himself!
In Thailand they grace their form in muay Thai stance .
Baki
I deeply respect everything you do. And as a non-native English speaker, I deeply respect the poll that you did to make sure you didn't mispronounce his name. That's a level of commitment not everyone has for their craft.
Alberto Rangel I respect you for pointing this out and bringing his greatness in this to light.
Respect
@@calebquillen8049 ran out of piss for your cheerios?? O. O
@@calebquillen8049 Looks like someone lost the fight at their elementary school
I like the effort. But still. It’s not BooCow.
the way he seems to just stop after knocking his opponent down is so cool. like hes a Terminator who accomplished their mission and is left on standby or sumn
Imagine your the opponent and the last thing you see is yourshelf in the floor and him on top and looking you down and expect him to beat you down but instead just watching you down like a tree chop down lmao i would be scared as hell if this man could beat me down and i look at him on top while being knock out cold
Yo they should have him in MK11 lol, it'll be lit 🔥🔥
@@umanasilos2311 How can you look up at him towering over you, if you said that you're already knocked tf out cold.
Getting knocked out cold would imply that dude hit you so hard, you woke up a few hours later in a nurses lounge with 0 recollection of the past few hours until you get reminded by someone or something.
I'm assuming that you meant-- getting knocked down hard as hell by the dude.
In muay thai it's against the rules to hit your opponent once they fall to the floor (you can kick them on their way down though)
K-1 had to change their kickboxing rules because of this guy.
Tactless Guy there was another guy in heavier WGP circuit who did what Buakaw did in the clinch first. Buakaw was just the last straw.
Why?
@@galactica1419 he was too dominant in the clinch because the Thai's practice it as much as other techniques, so they thought it was unfair for other kickboxers
@@KidDynamite40 So all other standing martial arts is shit compared to Muay Thai. That's what they prove with banning certain things from a martial art to make it fair to others.
marcus24000 totally wrong
The guy looks like a Tekken character...😍
He's Bruce Irvine duhh lol
Bruce Irvin is a Muay Thai character but far to be Buakaw. The face is not even close.
Just compare Raven with Wesley Snipes and...
@@mahatana_r yea
Season 3 DLC, Harada?
@@PhajEsTeeb Look up Saenchai. His fighting technique is identical. The way he feigns, moves in, then reverses - it's as if he's doing Bruce's combo.
So he's aggressive,smart, creative, can fight at multiple ranges and styles, and obviously is a physical monster. No surprise he was so dominant!
Not 'was' but 'is'. The man still fights.
@Francisco Duran out of all things why and how did your peanut brain ever come to the idea to say something like that?
You said all I wanted to say! I love watching Buakaw's fight even it usually takes me hours to wait for the match and he usually takes merely a few minutes to end it. He is perhaps the most creative boxer and has a wide range of weapons.
Connor mcgregor would fuck him up
@@NCSheriff7 mcgredog mctapper lmao
One thing that makes me respect him amongst all other known fighters is his training intensity and the discipline he puts into it.
He runs 13-15 km in the morning, trains during the rest of the day, and runs another 13-15 km in the evening.
😱
one punch man training
That is amazing. I wish him the world.
Thai fighters train super hard, most fighters join from an early age and training is basically their life
That's his career.
It's normal for most Nak Muays. You will get kicked out of the camp without this kind of work ethic.
Hes is so well rounded, its scary. He just adapts and evolves as the match goes and they just cant keep up. He neutralizes every option and capitalizes on every weakness. That is true skill and experience.
That’s because he’s Asian lmao
@@thunderlycanthrope7804 dumb stereotype
Fun fact!!
His full ringname is 'Buakaw Porpramuk'
Bua = lotus
Kaw = white
Porpramuk = his muaythai gym (pramuk = ruler, leader)
______
His real name is 'sombut bunchamek'
Sombut = treasure
Buncha = control, command
Mek = cloud
______
The famous low kick call 'Jor Yang' meaning stabbing tire.
True, i'm thai
fc คุณหยาดครับ
I always thought the translation for Buakaw was..
Bua: More
Kaw: Pain!
Damn that's cool people like buakaw make martial arts enjoyable is there anyone else you guys can recommend I watch?
No, he left Por Pramuk years ago on very bad terms. They screwed him out of good fights and money.
His official ring name now is Buakaw Banchamek after his last name and new fight gym.
My favourite aspect of this legend is that he incorporates so many tradtional elbow/knee Muay Thai techniques, and mixes them in with more contemporary boxing so seamlessly. He is the perfect Muay Thai warrior. One of the most incredible techniques I've seen him execute was turning a close range knee attack into a head kick at the last microsecond before the knee landed. Insanely difficult and perfectly timed. I can think of no other fighter in the world who could accomplish this.
Lerdsila?
Stephen thompson probably could
*Look at that dude's physique!*
He's like a Tank, an agile Tank.
Muay Thai training will get you there, especially if you have everything in order.
@Francisco Duran Compared to a lot of other Thai fighters, Buakaw is a tank... dummy. And Buakaw IS strong and in phenomenal shape... dummy. Anyone who uses a " bone skinny, crack ho" as an example of someone who is "ripped" is a dummy... dummy. And to be as much of a dick as you're being to someone who complimented a Muay Thai legend, is ridiculous... dummy.
@Francisco Duran r/whoooooosh
@Francisco Duran dumbass
@Francisco Duran dude you're a dumbass. Muscle beats skinniness in the use of combat if you talking about that black ho who is most likely plain skinny. Let's see you go against someone like that and see how that goes because Muay Thai definitely is the go to fighting style to brutally handle someone in a street fight. Judging where you live and how you talk, you probably live in a ghetto ass neighborhood. Yea you can possibly survive the conditions there but I doubt you can possibly K.O an opponent if you are not in good phyical shape nor have the techniques to your strikes.
9:15 is just amazing
This is one of the most insightful analyzing of Buakaw’s fighting I have ever seen . Thank you so much , I like it . As I am Thai , he is our national hero and we all proud of him . I am not a fighter but your explanation is deep and useful knowledge that make me understand more about Buakaw and Muay Thai . Like you said Buakaw’s techniques should be studied by any martial artist any style in the world , he has so much influence in the world of Martial Art and his techniques could be useful for anyone . Respect to you from Thailand 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
His conditioning also should be studied, as one said earlier, he is a physical monster with the perfect body for martial art. I am pretty sure his opponents start feeling pain the moment they set eyes on him. Buakaw's body screams "I am pain personified!"
@@DakarBlues many muay thai figther born with poor family , they have daily life harder than wellness family.
wake up morning than other, work hard than other but just gain little money from work, its status of poor family in thailand.
and muay thai show spend them much than work hard ,its a begining at all where are they come from. boy age 14-15 in poor family if not study they will come to this circle because alot of ton money can help their parent and his brother sister whoever .
personaly my friend is muay thai fighter too but he isnt famous but his family have a QoL after he's coming in this way .
I don't know what amazes me the most. The martial artist or the analyst (youtuber). Amazing fighter. Amazing content.
Buakaw is real a Muay Thai legend. I Really respectful and amazed by the struggle of Buakaw, with his martial arts he has popularized the culture of his country and made his country proud. he is really a valuable asset. hopefully buakayw will continue to be healthy.🙏😇👍👍
Buakaws most advantage in mostly all his fights is imho his incredible speed from stopping one attack in milliseconds switching over to another attack. That makes him pretty unique in the Thaiboxing world.
I like how this breakdown gives insight across multiple areas, showing off Buakaw's versatility. Good stuff!
Great video, thanks! worth mentioning that Buakaw was 37 or 38 years old in the fight where he delivered that spinning elbow at 8:49. He's not quite as fluid today but he is still a formidable fighter and amazing to watch!
The reason why Muay Thai is my favorite martial art and discipline. And my favorite fighter. Nothing but beauty in agression!
Man was born to fight
His style is beautiful
Buakaw Banchamak is a Tank, Hard body, Almost unstoppable, unimaginable speed and force, very smart, and lastly Very intimidating.
Excellent breakdown. Especially the Andre Dida fight.
Fuck outta here
yah i watch that buakaw had a iron chin
in the past 40 years, the best fighters I ever saw,
are mike tyson and buakaw banchamek
Ever heard of Floyd, Saenchai, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, Alexander Karelin, Pernell Whittaker, Manny Pacquiao?
@@zip34ut he like fighter who are ferocious. Those fighters you mentiond are great but they are of your liking. Respect folks taste.
Manny Pacquiao is the only boxer to win TWELVE MAJOR world titles in EIGHT DIFFERENT WEIGHT DIVISIONS... Nine of his world championships came from the "Big Four" sanctioning bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO) and three were from The Ring.
..
He also won the prestigious and coveted lineal championship in five different weight divisions... QUIT living under a rock.
Petrosyan also
But who would you rather fight?!
His leg kicks are artwork! Unbelievable power
Hes one of the best fighters of all time.and Nice video
This guy is an agile warmachine. Unstoppable and unbeatable.
Muay That x Buakaw x The Modern Martial Artist‘s Video = All the best thing of their kind!
The legendary Buakaw
i haven't seen a breakdown of Buakaw that's like this one - great stuff! Buakaw is a special fighter.
So much hard training for the body n mind makes u a great fighter into a champion n a legend of all time.
Monster. A beautiful fighting monster.
Epiq fighter analysis! You really nailed
Buakaw’s style 100%. I’m really impressed.
@Francisco Duran What's your problem asshole?
The best weapon Buakaw had was his own mind.
Without his speed of thought and his deep understading of fighting, his moves, strength, precision and quickness would be all in vain.
Buakaw's most fearsome weapon is his mind.
Yes his mentality.
yes, thank god for intelligent people
BUAKAW GOAT OF MT
Universal soldier !
Buakaw is definitely one of the greatest in the sports history. Much respect for him.
Excellent technik. Thanks for sharing🙏🙏
This is great thank you
LEGEND BUAKAW
Ive seen this legend in his prime and he was incredible. When I thought about muay Thai, buakaw was the perfect guy to represent it. Hard, traditional and smooth.
He is truely one of the legends of Mauy Thai. Much respect for him.
Buakaw " God of war "
Dudes a walking rock
He just does the basics so well,head movement,his kicking on point,his IQ for sure,his stamina on point due to consistent training,.
Nothing fancy,just a solid foundation of main combat principles no matter what from it is,these basics are carried across most forms of martial arts.
And through all his relaxed,no energy wasted,relaxed,wow salute Champ,a fucking legend.
Buakaw is a genius
The best legendary fighter from thailand🔥
The Man,
The Myth,
The Legend,
Buakaw Banchamek.
Buakaw still number 1
Fighting genius
Buakaw the living legend. One of the best fighters in the world. Respect.
8:40 This spinning ellbow was beautiful and deadly at the same time!
I’ve been a Sombat Benchamek fan since K1.... he is amazing. Also been waiting for something like this on him.. thank you 🙏
Buakaw is a master at his weapons. A great sportsman and legend of martial arts. His flights are always entertaining to watch. The idol of millions.
All that skill plus his superhuman chin.
buakaw and manny are humble fighters
One of my all-time favorite fighters in any style.
I really like Buakaws technique, inspired me to practice more.
Vishal Shetty yeah I disliked his comment as well. Now what he should have said is sparing with bigger opponents because with sparing you can adapt to fighting bigger, stronger, and faster fighters without actually getting hurt. That's what I did when I first started muay thai and it will improve your overall control and awareness in the ring.
We call it training. Not practice. Practice is for softball fam...
Jonathan Barnes but do you even train?
This guy is a calculating machine. Never seen this before.
baukaw is legehad💕💕
Thanks for introducing this guy to me. Normally, I don’t watch fights, doesn’t do anything for me. Breaking down fights is what I like.
I had no idea who this guy was. I saw him in a movie and just noticed his movements were crisp. He had the skill of a real fighter. I researched him and became an instant fan.
What movie?
Don't tell me you're mistaken buakaw with Tony Jaa..
@@emooki886 I think its called "Broken Sword Fighter"
Buakaw starred in a Thai movie
@@TheJahnmichael Right, that's him!
emooki he is in this movie th-cam.com/video/XlUqnNOAiPA/w-d-xo.html
*GOAT*
Awesome analysis of one of my favourite fighters, thank you!
Strongest standing martial art in the world being used by one of the GOAT. Can't get any better than that.
Amazing video! Buakaw is King of Thai Boxing!
This man conditioning and technique was Perfect. Always seemed to strike with a purpose, even when blocked an he was always calmly SAVAGE. It hurts just watching this guy hit people. - WOW
Agreed, he throws the most beautiful kicks i ever seen, best fighter i ever watched
He is feeling the air and the force
Always loved buakaws fighting style and power. Esp him as a humble fighter and person
Buakaw the definition of a true savage
Buakaw ❤❤❤❤🇾🇪🇾🇪
Cool.
I just got into Buakaw’s fights and holy crap! This guy is on another level!
Thai Tyson
Thaison
Muay Thai is a killer beast
G.O.A.T 🐐
A true champion.
I know it's mainly Lawrence Kenshin's thing, but you should definitely breakdown more kickboxers and Muay Thai fighters. This is awesome :D
Legend
He was one of the best in K1 Fighting. I remember unvelivable Matches on Eurosport in the 90'! He beat everyone! Human Terminator.
I remember when he KOd mighty moe lol
@@idhcustomtoys Buakaw never fought Might Mo. That was Kaoklai
Bro this guy is a legend! King of K1 in my book
Genaro Segura K1 MAX. True King of K1 is Semmy Schilt. Schilt destroyed everyone even when he was sick and completely out of his prime he won the current HW GLORY champ.
Modern Martial Artist, the best by far, thanks for all your videos.
I used to watch this guy every single time I could with my father on Eurosport back then
He quickly became my favorite cause he knocked a ton of people out
Great vid, great analizing.
Buakaw is the smartest Muay Thai fighter, he adapts and changes technique according to the opponent’s ability. Buakaw is the most complete fighter in Muay Thai. If I’m still young I’ll go and train in his camp.
Shon voo this isn’t true. Yodwicha, who was bought by Buakaw’s camp, is 1000x better than Buakaw and would easily dominate him.
@@kevinrhodes7728 You trash, moron !!!
Francisco Duran how is that gay?
@Francisco Duran you very big gay!!
Brave Heart that’s a great response Love ❤️
He is amazing on every level.
Excellent breakdown. Thanks man!
Legend!
i wish we see buakaw in MMA ring one day. i mean, this guy's just a monster in the ring. 274 professional fights with only 24 losses is just insane, and the fighting experience from 274 fights is out of this world for any MMA fighter.
If you look at his loses, he's throwing them by losing on purpose
@@jannclaudebinoya Or when he overtrains himself... not getting enough sleep.
ghoulunathics never been knocked out cold only tkoed to the body
Beautiful breakdown of the GOAT of Muay Thai.
he is a monster......great athlete,strong,disciplined
Buakaw’s genius is his ability to understand
And then make himself understood
The GOAT striker!
Man, this guy is a BEAST!!!
I'm glad you brought him to us ! Can't wait to watch more of him
idol of my teenage. love from tokyo.
