@@MunkeyBeans1082 of course, but i meant it physiologically. The human body starts to "age" after 30 and it's just a matter of how can a person slow down that aging. Especially with the wear and tear in the body.
I agree the action is great and damage is the key to victory, due to lack of time for "feeling out" your opponent. The fighters have been able to show toughness, power and high levels of technique!
Such an underrated sport... allot of those styles are tho. Allot of people know about boxing and kickboxing but dont really know about muay thai or lethwei ( similar to muay thai but with headbuts and no cloves!)
Hmm I feel most would say buakaw is your traditional muay thai fighter. Muay thai have always had a reputation of being hardcore rather than saenchais slick and flashy style.
@@hamar5908 Yea that's the new school muay thai. Weirdly, the erratic striking style with crazy leaping strikes and flashy elbows is the old traditional style,while the more controlled and subdued style with heavy clinching is the adjustment muy thai made recently because they found it to be more effective against foreign fighting styles.
Saenchai was 'in residence' at a popular farang gym in southern Phuket for the two high seasons I trained there. Was super warm and helpful even to a clumsy fitness noob like myself. Class act.
I meeted up with Saenchai last summer, he's the most humble guy you'll ever see, always smiling and joking around, if you see him in the streets you'll probably think you'll beat him with ease, but let me tell you something, he will destroy You
i always wondered what would happen if a bad ass muay thai fighter actually also became a good wrestler or a bjj blackbelt. i think utter domination xd
Thing with Muay Thai is the kicks are lightning fast. Trying to even get into that offence is difficult. You can’t even see them move. And one kick is a KO if you aren’t trained to take the blows.
Watch onefc, great muay thai fights in 4oz mma gloves and a lot of muay thai fighters who have made the transition to mma as well. Also their events are free all you need to do is download the app
For a guy that has been well versed in martial arts for a long time, I’m surprised he doesn’t know the old school traditional Muay Thai isn’t the flat footed leg kicking style of today. Samart is a legend and you’ll see his flashy style too.
@@mohammedalishaikh3950 you can - look at Seksan (the man who bows to nobody!)- he has his own style and he is brilliant, never give up, never back down only forward to go! But he is not good in kicking at all...and he also looks so unorthodox and clumsy in his fights - but he is very effective.
saenchai is one of the most exciting fighters to watch and i love his style...he added his own personality to it...fckn legend... and like joe said "one bad mofcka"... just like buakaw... i just love to watch them workout...the intensity is insane...
Bruce Lee said that martial arts and fighting is honest expression.. so I guess your personality shines through as in the case of the fighter formerly fighting out of Sor. Kingstar
Dude throws those kicks like that because his core and hips are strong, he's got power in there. The foot switches come into it cause his balance and sense for his body position is godlike, keeps his form solid even while he's moving around and changing his angles. His feet move then plant and it drives his kick, but once the kick is in he's on the move again. Insane numbers of kicks thrown to get there, and sheer natural talent being developed to its limit.
MMA has evolved a lot and now you have realy good strikers but there is still a huge gap in striking when comparing to top muay thai fighters. Specially when it comes to elbows. The angles and power of elbows from MT fighters is just a different level.
Very different fighters, saenchai is all about speed and technique and having fun, Buakaw is that really annoying tank that just goes forward like a bulldozer and you cant really do anything about it but loose....
“Honestly expressing yourself...it is very difficult to do. I mean it is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky and be flooded with a cocky feeling and then feel like pretty cool...or I can make all kind of phony things, you see what I mean, blinded by it or I can show you some really fancy movement. But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself...now that, my friend, is very hard to do.” Bruce Lee
Saenchai fought since he was a little kid. There are many kids from poor families who fight to earn a living in Thailand in some poor villages, and Muay Thai is actually Thailand's national sport
Once you can relax and just enjoy being in the ring, that's when you get people fighting like Saenchai and Lerdsila. Also the gym they train in is specialized in evasiveness. If Saenchai is 38 at the time of this video, he has literally 30 years of training and fights behind him. Most people who fight are tense in the ring. That's normal. But these guys lost the tension en just enjoy the game.
rigoures training and natural talent. but he's a lefthanded fighter, that might be one of the reasons aswell. watching his styl it seems to me he's trained traditionaly righthanded , that makes him switch stands so easy and comfortly striking from all angles and positions.
first of all saechai is inarguably a great guy and humble beyond what a person with his status in the sports world could be... second - he didn’t come up with any of that stuff and as with any other thing in the world he just combines it in his own way. he had great teachers and elders in his gyms and his style is pretty much based on theirs + boran techniques for folks like joe rogan to talk about. third - if you follow muay thai closely you’ll know he’s way past his prime and also know he’s been out of the elite thai stadium circuit for a long long time now... he’s smart and knows his place in this day and age all too well. not sure why i’m even writing this ahaha guess i just wish sometimes people with huge followings had more accurate information on the subjects they publicly discuss.
I See Lerdsila outside my house all the time. dude just gets drunk all the time And smashes guys in the cage. he says he treats the fight like a video game
If you can figure out how big Foreman is such a monster, you could figure out Saenchai too. By the way, it's in MT teachings also that they are humble, polite & harmless out of the ring.
Buakaw is a serial killer. Saenchai is a joker. They had a sparring and Buakaw was dominating as expected. After all he is in a higher weight class, therefore you can't really compare them.
the footage of him play sparring with buakaw is hilarious, yiu can tell they are realy close, being realy disrespectful to each other just to make the crowd laugh,its great to watch
Ahmed Santos no I don’t believe so. He knows very few classic Thais. He had never heard of Somluck Khamsing....on a sub note Seanchai when he was a kid trained at Somluck gym.
I always wonder what would happen if we really put Buakaw and Saenchai in the same ring in a real fight. I would guess a draw. They are both warriors and from what I see, best of friends too. 😂
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique I actually think saenchai will win. He's got a wealth of experience and is extremely quick and agile. Strength wise Buakaw edges. But maybe just a little. I would bet on Saenchai but again this would be an extremely close call, and I admit I could be wrong.
For Joe asking why MT isn't more popular, it's mostly due to how it's interconnected to the entire culture of Thailand, and they don't like opening it up to the world. They have their own tournaments, which for other sports would mean that if you win, you'd go and compete with other winners around the world, but not here. You win in Thailand, that's it, you're the best, you're waiting for a new season.
I just met Saenchai at Yokkao the day before the video. Was at the gym whilst he was training. Watching him pad was fun. He seems to just mess about since he is getting old now
The way he blocks the opponents arm or moves it out of the way so he can get a clean strike reminds me of Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon with Ohura(white guy). You need to slow that footage down to see it.
I don’t think the general public appreciate the grappling and clinch work of Muay Thai and might find that part boring , similar to those who dont understand ground work , so I think this stops its popularity.
The only striker I'm aware of that can literally beat up bigger strikers. Yes im aware BJJ artists/grapplers can do it , but strikers? that's something special.
It you want to good at kicking , practicing sitting on the floor like sit meditation or any kind of sit on the ground with your knee folding . To making your knee more moveable .
Well saenchai really doesn’t do anything that different. He’s just fighting like golden an era nak muay. Courtesy of jockey gym, which has produced many muay thai champions like Somrak Khamsing etc.
The katami samurai I’m pretty sure buakaw will be able to overwhelm saenchai with his strength and endurance but then I feel like saenchai will win because he probably fought guys who were stronger than buakaw himself
I disagree with Joe, muay thai is extremely popular. It's very respected in the martial arts world and you're not a complete mma fighter unless you know basic muay thai.
I don’t really watch ufc but I’m guessing because a lot of them are more comfortable learning boxing techniques and grappling techniques rather than kick boxing or Muay Thai
Muay Thai is not more popular I think because kicks and knees are not ideal choices for a street fight. That said, the muay thai fighters who I came across in gyms here are extremely impressive with their boxing, much more than I would have expected based on watching. As for what Senchai does, gyms in the U.S. do not seem to be able to teach that stuff for some reason. It's like they are closely guarded secrets.
If you want a true MT legend look at Samart Payakaroon. THe greatest MT fighter of all time and a world champion boxer. The ultimate counter puncher/kicker. He had Ali's defensive counter punching style combined with Tyson's offensive style. Mastered MT so well that he was able to incorporate unorthodox moves that no one else could pull off. A truly one of a kind fighter.
Went over to Thailand for a month of training and literally forgot what punching was haha, no matter where you go, Bangkok, phuket or Chiang Mai they all mainly focus on kicks and knees oh and also elbows.
I don’t care what anyone says one championship is on a whole other level than ufc. They’re always trying to separate themselves from the ufc and have so much respect and care for their fighters. I think there should be a tournament of ufc fighters vs one championship fighters
Saenchai kicks are not traditional Muy Thai. His distance is shorter and quicker almost like TKD sparring. He doesn't wind up his kicks and uses his feet dexterity and speed to counter and cut off opponents' attacks especially with that front kick, axe kick. Very TKDesque with Muy Thai power.
TKD doesn't own every moves dude. They already explained why he fights like that. Old school Muay Thai has many flashy kicks. Go spin like a ballerina somewhere else.

He trains a lot of foreigners and comes to a lot of gyms outside of Thailand so I’m pretty sure he knows a good handful of English words
Man, those kicks were lightening fast!
Saenchai has crazy strategy
Muay Thai has lots of kicks because it's incentivised by points. Go watch Leithwei (KO only for win). It has more punching.
The way he blocks the opponents arm or moves it out of the way so he can get a clean strike reminds me of Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon with Ohura(white guy). You need to slow that footage down to see it.

Saenchai kicks are not traditional Muy Thai. His distance is shorter and quicker almost like TKD sparring. He doesn't wind up his kicks and uses his feet dexterity and speed to counter and cut off opponents' attacks especially with that front kick, axe kick. Very TKDesque with Muy Thai power.
TKD doesn't own every moves dude. They already explained why he fights like that. Old school Muay Thai has many flashy kicks. Go spin like a ballerina somewhere else.
I enjoy watching him perhaps more than any other fighter on earth. Dude is an absolute legend. Muayhammad Ali.
