The Legend of Dany Bill: The Technical Striking Savant

Dany Bill is widely regarded as one of the smartest, and most accomplished foreign fighters in the history of Muay Thai, beating many of the top Thai fighters during the most competitive era of the sport.
While Dany was a natural athlete right from the start, he was not content with his power and athleticism that helped him to dominate his weight class in Europe. He was fascinated with the sheer technical genius of the Thai fighters that were not seen in Europe. To test himself against the best, Dany would spend years training and fighting in the motherland of Muay Thai.
In the 90s in Thailand, Muay Thai camps were closely guarded places that were highly wary of outsiders. Many doors were closed to foreigners, and Dany found that it was extremely hard to find trainers who were willing to teach him. To learn the secrets of their techniques, Dany threw himself into the deep at some of the most legendary camps at that time - Jocky Gym and Sityodtong Gym, watching their training, and getting his ass kicked in sparrings with the Thai champs.
Dany is full of incredible stories from the golden era of the sport. He even offered tips on what his fight strategy would be, if he was to fight the G.O.A.T. Saenchai.

lets goooooooo. Danny Bill had the illest sweeps of all time he's the non Thai GOAT. Second place is Damien Alamos though-lets get a striking breakdown for him!! Happy New Year Lad!
Would love a video on Rob Kaman, and Ernesto Hoost as well.
No mess, no fuss just straight action. This man is pure Gladiator. He fought anyone, anytime, anyplace in the hardest combat sport ever.
he consistently got fights because of his style & the Thai fans respected him. lol @ "why you here? go play soccer, it's better!"
What a legend both in and out of the ring. His goal to raise fellow Cameroonians out of poverty and instill pride in themselves through teaching of this beautiful art... very inspirational
What a guy!
Amazing how far he got with no real teaching from the Thais, just bag work and emulation of what he seen, mind blowing.
I only know of him because of a past video you made, so glad you brought him to my attention.
Imagine if they actually taught him how much more amazing he would be
He sparred with the best Thais of that era, twice everyday.
“It’s hard to beat [ Saenchai ] because he has skills.” Truer words have never been spoken 😂
he means that some fighters rely on power to end things, others on stamina to draw things out; saenchai is so versed he's skilled in all areas. but yeah, lol
ในฐานะที่ผมเป็นคนไทย ผมขอพูดตามตรงว่าทักษะฝีมือ Dany Billน่าจะเก่งและเหนือกว่าแสนชัยเพราะเท่าที่ผมดูเค้าเก่งเกมือนสมรักษ์(โค้ชของแสนชัย)
Very insightful interview. Respect for Monsieur Dany. He went to Thailand during a difficult period and had to earn his knowledge and skills. There wasn't any social media marketing, no real money as this was before the mixed martial arts promotional model.
Huge respect for him as he's also not using his first language in this interview and yet is very articulate.
he's apparently fluent in Thai, as well as English & French.
@@LIONTAMER3D yeah, heard some words very Thai accents.555
This was very beautiful.
🤍🤍
@@LawrenceKenshin Sorry to disappoint you mate but Danny Bill was defeated by a Moroccan Taekwondo stylist Hassan Kassroui. But you won't show those videos, would you? After all, you Thais have to sell everything cheap whether it's your Martial Arts or tourism package.
@@genshin5288 ok he lost in japan on an extended rd fight the japanese are famous for adding an extra rd outside the contract
@@genshin5288 Is there evidence that he's Thai? What makes you think he is?
@@omegasquad868 Pretty dumb argument. A win is a win, lmfao or else split decisions would've been always controversial. Also, the Thais have a history of rigged judging in King's birthday (A kickboxing tournament held in Thailand) too.
His English is very Thai. Amazing!
55555
Easy to understand.
i would trade my english for his fighting skills anytime. You'll find millions of people able to speak english in this world. But only a few people on this earth are as good as he is:was in his discipline.
@@jullz4800 what my comment meant was that he speaks like Thai people. I'm not commenting on his English skills.
@@niketp2557 Fair enough. Indeed, he probably learned english while he was in Thailand.
An African legend in the golden era of Muay thai 🥊
Sooo...not french??? 😁
@Ricardo DeMatteo 😉 A great guy, and against all odds he was a successful man and overcame many difficulties, a hero of a seemingly distant era...an era were people thrived for dignity not validity, with a brave heart not a whining one, with hard work and humility not self entitlement and affirmative action...one a note for hope I wish you all Happy New Year and a return to our normal lifes and get this bloody EU and UN globalists out of our countries!!! 🎆🌲🦌🎅
@@buteos8632 Dany bill is the best FRENCH nakmuay. Don t care if is just born in africa.
Was NOT the golden era of muay thai r u serious? LOL
@@thinkingagain5966 of course between 1985 until 2003/4 it was the Golden age of Muaythai.
It's amazing what you can accomplish when you are strong in the mind.
I always loved Dany Bill as a fighter. Now I love him as a person too.
Imagine an era where there were 50-100 Rodtangs 🤯

What an awesome human!

Légende!!! Dany Respect pour ta carrière
Beautiful. Great fighter and a great person. Awesome insights into the 90's. I'm half Thai and spent holidays in the 80's and 90's with my family in Thailand. Back then I started to read a lot about Muay Thai in magazines (never practiced) and Ramon Dekkers was the big name among European fighters. My family is Thai and everybody knew him. Alongside Ramon were many other great fighters including Danny Bill. First time I see a more in-depth story about him and I loved it. I feel the 90's were more about substance and less money making spectacles. Now we're in an age where money rules and TH-camrs are allowed to enter the arena to claim they're fighters. These kind of videos keep the memories alive when the shit was real. I wish him best of luck with his project in Cameroon. Hopefully he'll get a lot of support from other athletes and Muay Thai fans.
He's the doctor for legs
what a inspireing human great person great champ may god bless him.
Hats off. Very impressive. The man is a true warrior.
cheers
Salute from Hong Kong! You're not just a fighter, but you are also a philanthropist to make your home country better. Furthermore, you really love Muaythai and to probe into the bottom to find the truth of Muaythai technique. This is the altitude that everybody should learn to pursuit the goal!
Beautiful Story.
One of my favorite fighters to study
That's a Great Interview !!
Great video, thanks for the content sir.
You got the best channel on TH-cam! Thank you for your work! i absolutely love it :D
Keep it going good sir :D
Jamais vu un autre non thaï avoir autant l'attitude, son petit hochement de tête là 😁 respect Dany Bill, tu m'as fait rêver ds ma jeunesse. C'était une bonne époque pour le muay thai en France grâce à des légendes comme lui. Peace
Well done Danny and a humble generous guy at that. I like him.
“Now only 5 (good fighters), last time 50, 100 (good fighters)” 😅
Just the heart of this guy is just amazing
A lot of respect for that man!
Seriously, what a legend!
I like Ur Style so much… U are One of the greatest fighter!
Hope i can Met u in Future
