hey do you have any uploads on something iv been wanting to see for the longest is mui thai fighters that beat all other martial arts fighters. as i feel mui thai is the best with kung fu second best. i been wanting see examples after i heard that a mui thai master beat masters of all other martial arts
Hello - Is there any chance we could see a return/ some fight breakdown videos in the future? Used to enjoy those a lot in the earlier stages of the channel , but most of the content recently seems heavily focused on telling stories ( not necessarily a bad thing ). Just asking as a fan , no offense/finger pointing meant .
Only one thing I can comment about for that Roufus fight: Thai got knocked down first. And in life or death fight, no ref to stop the fight...
@@anonymousshawn9996 you will be dead in a second if no rules. grow up and learn sport rule, also learn to accept lose or win, lose is lose, win is win no exception. KID
Bro changfuk is so tough like thats a clear knock out
I've met Changpuek completely by chance while training in Thailand. I was walking around while i saw some thai guys sharing a meal, sitting on the ground on the roadside and one of them invited me to eat with them. It was hard to talk with them, but i told them i was here for training Muay thai and this was at this moment Changpuek told me "me too, when me young, muay thai!" and he asked my phone, so i gave him and he showed me his highlight on TH-cam, needless to say i was in shock... Few days later he went on a muay thai fight against a Russian guy, knocked him out cold... He was 50 years old if i remember correcly. Super nice and simple guy.
Beautiful story thx 4 sharing💯💪🏿❤
Btw where are/were u training? And did u like it?
@@CoenraadBrinks I was training at Por Promin gym in Hua hin. The training was hardcore, i had my first fight there and holy shit that was hard. Small gym very friendly, definitely recommend it, it's (was?) 50 50 Thai farang which is to me the best to learn proper Muay Thai
@@jamin12342 No idea, but Muay Thai guys from this era end up poor, at best they become trainers (look at samart). But cheap street food in Thailand is fucking awesome and healthy.
@@brunorvrcrt627 I agree, the best food in Thailand is from street vendors! Just stay away from seafood, they're VERY often rotten.
Thanks for sharing
Thai boxers often come from poor families. They didn't fight to prove themselves to be the strongest, they fought for the survival of their family. The blood from their wounds was less frightening than the tears and misery of their families.
But when you find your fighter heart your family can be rich and you not stop fighting
a reason to live for
@@roberthoffmann6603 They can still train young fighters to fulfill their dreams
exactly what i was going to say-thank you
Not just Thai boxers, bro. All sorts of fighting sports
Fun fact. Changpuek holds the record for most overall recorded career knockout wins at 178 from 277 total wins. (A 64% KO Ratio). Which is incredible considering he gave up a lot of size and fought some of the greatest strikers of that Era on multiple occasions.
This man had some of the most prolific fights That did cemented as a lethal simple but very effective brutal Martial art.
truth bro thank you for watching
I wouldn't call the art of 8 limbs simple.
I wish Muay Thai was simple
OK simply in theory fixed
The ultimatum to survive in Muay Thai ring fight is conditioning, no matter how good u r.
Changpuek is an absolut beast & legend, biggest respect from switzerland 🇨🇭🇹🇭
I"m Thailand I love Switzerland the most beautiful country in the world❤❤❤🇹🇭
I like how you got motivedia to voiceover. Changpuek was a beast. And was almost always smaller than the european guys. And he knocked them out too. His power over weight divisions was quite impressive considering weight at elite level can really change the fight. Legend.
Ya man the weight different was huge in some fights. Thanks a lot for watching
@@LawrenceKenshin why wouldn’t I watch lmfao
I imagine many of the rules in those fights limited the thai fighter. Yet another disadvantage. Makes the win even more extraordinary
So true big dawg.
I was training with Tony Moore in Clayton while this warrior was at his peak. I used to watch videos of him and read about his fights with awe.
I don’t forget! Thanks Lawrence!
thanks so much for watching brother means a lot to me
@@TheMaskedMuller You’ve clearly met the man!
@@TheMaskedMuller Noted. Fighters and Fitness Centre was a tough gym. No heating, no padding, no excuses. We live and learn.
@@TheMaskedMuller Hey, does Master Sken still live in the North of England? I first heard of him because there was a guy from Glasgow (where I am) used to drive down there to train under him. This was way back in the 90s.
I have been in Karate, Boxing and Muy Thai all my life and have never heard of him, sad how we are all forgotten in moments. Changpuek one tough Man.
Bad promoters at the time
No one would forget ChangPheuk. He is a true legend and pioneer in international fights.
Dude's brave. He was throwing those kicks not caring if he gets injured or not. What a beast!!
Seeing the Roufus fight made me eyes dazzle as a kid. Learning there was a Muay Thai school nearby a few years later cinched it. I trained for 5 years, went to a 5-1 amateur record, 4 KOs by knee or elbow, and then MMA until I blew my lead knee completely out on a sticky mat. But I still love watching and rooting the strikers on. There's nothing like a guy getting a surprise wake up Elbow between his meticulously placed blocking gloves.
damn. that must've hurt like hell. i broke my ankle last night from a lowkick because i didnt set the distance quite right. instead of striking with my shin i hit the bag with my ankle. and i didnt check, since i have it outside and its freezing cold, water got into it and it froze, so it was basically a big block of ice. and i hit it with my full power, the bag didnt even move but my ankle cracked.
@@exofiuszero2594 It is really sad to hear. How are you doing now? I hope you could get over your injuiries and keep training like a true martial artist!
@@duytran4744 i took 2 weeks as a break and then started training again, removed that white shit doctors put on me by hand. I have less flexibility in my ankle but its much tougher now. And i cannot roundhouse with the left leg, so it doesnt bother me. But yes, it doesnt hurt anymore and i started training after 2 weeks from the incident
@@exofiuszero2594 you should have done some physiotherapy for the ankle movement. Joints can get restricted if proper recovery isnt followed after an injury
Easily top 5 of my favorite channels. Quality and care every single time.
My Kru (Dimitri Cerberes) was one of his pupil. He told me he was a good man with a hardcore way of training (gloves replaced pads during training). A legend
Thank you making for this tribute video for Changpuek Kiatsongrit!!! Early, I started searching up this fighter after seeing him defeat Rick Roufus so dramatically. I then found fight after fight of him defeating big names in Kyokushin, Taekwondo and more. This video is a good summary of the Legend Changpuek Kiatsongrit!!!
This warrior needs more recognition!
The forgotten legend. So much respect ♥️♥️
30 years ago I went to a muay thai seminar in Brisbane to gain knowledge of the style , and the man speaking and training was master chai chaicirisuit , I believe he spoke of 200 fights in his career no loses, back in the day ,no stop watches but a coconut drilled with holes in a pale of water for timing ,when asked of the scarring on his elbows ,shins he said doctors would pull teeth from them as they would break off and embed themselves in his shins and elbows --- just a weapon of war !!
a legend, i certainly havent forgotten him but its good to show these vids of him, well done lawrence
❤️❤️ thx for watching
Thank You for this video,and thank you Changpuek(The White Elephant) for being one of the greatest.
Bruce thanks so much for always watching
"I'm Lawrence Kenshin"
YOU'RE NOT LAWRENCE KENSHIN!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm Lawrence Kenshin's paid Voice Actor.
@@LawrenceKenshin Get someone who knows that Thailand is not pronounced Thigh land.
@@tramenari this voice is so bad the voice actor should pay people to use his voice
@@DeathWithinTenSteps yes he says muai thigh
OMG I didn't know about him! Thanks, great video!
Cheers
Can't get over how he keeps saying Muay THIGH.
Also, the Roufus brothers definitely didn't immediately respect Muay Thai. Duke talked down low kicks immediately after the fight, saying it's without skill.
yep, there are videos of an interview after that fight. making excuses for his brother getting blasted after the loss. They changed the rules to give advantage to RR and he was putting on a great show till Kiatsongrit lit up those legs. i still have this fight on video tape.probably wont play well lol but i always remember this as an eye opening fight cause back then under kick boxing rules, kicks had to be above the waste or they were illegal kicks and could get a penalty.
Yes they even cut off the most deadly technique the elbow and no other Muay Thai rule was allowed too. Those brothers are just coward making everything in their favor and still got their butt whooped
But his little brother won his championship later with low kicks, this is so much drama that I want Jean Claude Van Damme to remake the movie.
Gotta blame someone when you’re butt hurt…
Duke had a brutal low kick and a great fighter too
Its worth noting that, he didnt use full Muay thai. So many rules and conditions to limit his potential. He's fighting against many bigger opponents with just 50% Muay thai or less. Its not a surprise why Muay Thai is probably the most popular standing style because it works and it's been proven countless times. If anything, so many styles nowadays look like Muay thai or even train like Muay thai.
So true.
That kaoklai high kick will stay with me for life
Kaoklai should be a shamed of himself for beaten up a bigger man! Ha ha ha
Thank You LKSB for sharing these amazing videos and keep reminding us about the accomplishments of these great fighters.🙏
Love the voice narrated in this video ❤️🙏...it's inspiring itself by the narrative voice ...
Love the Muay Thai fighter who win against bigger than him ...he was tough as hell ...dude was a monster
Such an amazing story of such a great Muay Thai hero.
Thank you Lawrence for bringing back such a legend, love it!
This fighter was a legend 💪🏻🙌🏼🙏🏼
What a fighter... I love muay thai fighters character.

One of the best commentary voices I've ever heard. I subscribed immediately
You are very special and I always say that your channel is one of the best channels by choosing the best good topics in the world of martial arts in addition to your distinctive style of presentation and value-added information
Is that the motivedia guy? Best damn voice on TH-cam
Outstanding - I had seen footage of this fighter before but didn't know the story, cheers for the brain fuel!
Changpuek Kiatsongrit, we haven't forgotten about you!
Thanks you, Lawrence. Please keep going with your work; we need to know about these heros.
Excellent footage & great video-thank you so much for sharing...
I think I've had 3 of your videos come up today all awesome, i subbed! This dude is truly a bad ass man!
Thanks Lawrence, one of the greatest of the golden era !
Thank you so much for sharing this and putting this on TH-cam I love this story there are some Kings of combat that deserve acknowledgment and he definitely does I thank you so much I look forward to seeing other publications that you would put on TH-cam and on the net thank you so much it's very inspiring very motivating makes me want to go out and train harder than I already do!!!
I hope he's doing well and I hope he's enjoying his life if you see him tell him I said that won't you?!
This man viral around youtube thank for bring him to this episode 👍
Wow. Thanks for bringing this video to the viewers.
extremely gripping small documentary. well done. amazing how tough and disciplined Muai Thai is.
They ARE men of iron.
another awesome vid by one and only Lawrence Kenshin
Legendary fighter tribute by a Legendary fight analyst 👍👍
Ive heard of this amazing fighter long ago
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 amazing video yet again!
great video and considering the impact he had im surprised i didnt know about this guy so thx for enlightening me and showing some great footage, imagine what he coulda done in todays 4oz gloves dam
Love these kind of stories.
Great work as always. Thank you
They are the same
thanks again for the great content
Thanks for the this, he deserves it!!
Remember folks, Kiatsongrit fought under his opponent's rules...and still beat most of them.
That's amazing
Imagine other fighters having to fight under MT rules
Winning dispite the disadvantage is sweet , imagine how the fighter with advantage on weight, size ,reach plus the rules on his side felt after the fight ... unbelievable but a thing of beauty.
This is why i love the Muay Thai
for me, the best martial art in the world
I trained with him at Sitpholek in Payatta about 10y ago for a while. Also was living next to his noodle stall outside of 7/11. The guy is a legend and he s very respected. When he holds the paos for you he likes to kick back, and you can feel his legendary kick power even at 5%.
I hope he will get his life together it was sad to see him struggle outside of the gym.
Do you have the address of his noodle stall?
@@sanjayrajsoni it was a long time ago, in went to jail in the meantime I heard
His life is a very sad story, I feel bad for him
@@Solingeshop thanks for sharing. Do you recall the approximate location by any chance.
Pray all is fine on your end now.
God Bless.
@@sanjayrajsoni he was across the first 7/11 of khao Talo road (south pattaya)
Open after 6pm
But again that was 10y ago
They ALL kick back when they're holding pads (mostly teeps, but not always)... Not sure where you trained before, if anywhere.
Thank you for sharing this
Great video about great man! Thank you🙏
Thanks for raising the awareness, I had never heard about that great fighter
So mr kenshin hired motivedia to tell the story? As always great stuff! Keep up the good work!
hahaha had him help bro
I'm loving this collaboration.
@@LawrenceKenshin what a Chad choice.
Buakaw solidified my love of the sport.
Respect to the Legend 🙏
GREAT fighter! THANKS for your videos!
ขอบคุณที่คนชอบนักสู้ชาวไทย

Phenomenal video. Thank you!

Excellent video. Thanks.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Ill subscribe mate good vids, i met saenchai and his team and fighters rungravee sasiprapa , sakedao petchpayathai aswell, watching saenchai live in the ring is something else, kartwheel kicks etc lol
Great tell of our art. Thank you
I always appreciate your videos on the rich history of Muay Thai and showing the world the most advanced, technical, complex and the most brutal of all combat sports. Off subject. Lawrence... What is with the Law And Order Special Victims narrator voice over?
Do you know what is Lethwei? Lol forget muai thai
@@jorgepereira8442 Lethwei?. Pfft Hahaha that sport is beyond obsolete and adorable.
@@KevinMartinez- lol lol how you dare compare Muay Thai with with the art of nine limbs? Forget that silly sport who use gloves with raw lethwei. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol lol
Thanks for bringing this to rememberance.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the history lesson.
thank you so much for watching us
Love this channel 🙏💟
After playing w him on da 1st PS console I was determined to find his fights n wen I did, he became 1 of my favorite fighters w da 8 limbs style
no thai fan will forget him, he is one of our grandmasters. he is the one who won over himself. all about muay Thai is more about winning over oneself, to fight with the unknown, pain, and poor. thanks for this vdo.
Thanks for teaching me so much about these amazing fighters!
It makes me want to train harder - lol me shadow boxing in class pretending to be like these legends lol
Really good video. I love it. 👍❤
Great Buakaw 👍👍👍👍👍
He's not forgotten by those who have trained under him.
I think Changpuek not the best Muay Thai fighter. But he is the image of Muay Thai. He brave enough to out his comfort zone. 💪🏻💪🏻
เช่นเดียวกับนักสู้อีกคนเตะขวานรกนกหวีดเดวี่(เค้าเคยติดคุกเพราะเผลอเตะคนตาย)และก้าวไกลแก่นนรสิงห์
Love the mui thai breakdows! Leave this man a like!
Thanks so much
Nice video. He's ceretainly not forgotten anymore.
👍🏻👍🏻
Great art with much greater heart that's what he shows. Congrats to thai fighters.
Would love to see your commentary on lethwei vs muay Thai.
Thank you for the education.
He was my coach in Thailand
Great story! Great hero! Fighting a giant that's only in Thailand.
Great video
I had a playstation game of K-1 back in 95 or 96, Changpuek was my favourite
It’s very fitting that his name ends with GRIT.
I Love Videos like this!
Good presentation🙏
Nice tribute to the legend I would have loved to see Changpuek vs Benny Urquidez 👍🏻
