- Probably one of the most epic videos that we've ever captured on the exchange of martial arts knowledge. In this exhibition match, we have Bokator, the Cambodian ancestor of Muay Boran and Muay Thai, vs Capoeira, the Brazilian descendant of Kipura Angola. These are two of the coolest styles of martial arts ever, and the practitioners of the styles put themselves to a test against each other for the first time. Representing Bokator is Dean Rosenwald, lead coach and owner of Santa Monica Striking. Representing Capoeira is Alfred Kendrick, lead coach and owner of Fit Arts. Let's see what cool lessons we can learn on our martial arts journey from watching this awesome matchup! Leave your comments below!

Hey love your channel. Come Portugal some time. Abraço
@@miguelfernandes2760 Boa tarde!
I love how agile and unpredictable Capoeira figters are. Hope we see more of them in full contact tournaments.
Theres plenty capoeira fighters in ufc and others mma. Mixed, sure, as every other art.
Fun fact capoeira isn't just all kicks there's elbow strikes, and hand chops and strikes
That's interesting. I'll take a look if you have any videos I can watch! Super cool to learn more about the hand strikes of Capoeira.
There was even more grappling if you go back far enough. It's unfortunate what they leave behind sometimes.
Yes i know that...i played Tekken 😂
@@FightCommentary TEKKEN GAME' 😁 GOT ALL THE CAPOEIRA MOVES OR MORE...
And throws and sweeps too right? I think saw a video where the capoeira guy did something that kind of looks like a muai thai or judo like leg sweep?
This was interesting, definitely not mad at it! Would love to see some Capoeira vs TKD or Muay Thai.
We’ll make it happen
@@FightCommentary I figured a more kick oriented martial art would be fun to watch against Capoeira!
Thanks for bringing this up! Both fighters were really good but the Capoerista DAYUM! cant wait for more
That place is pretty damn cool, looks like an 80's night club, perfect stage/background for a retro style fighting game lol. The match was super interesting, I'd have loved to see how it would have developed, such a shame it got cut out so short.
This was fun to watch, thank you for sharing 😊.
You can tell that Alfred the capoeira guy is comfortable under pressure. I like that he can work the crowd and then immediately defend against Dean charging to take advantage. A great way overall to be competitive and still have fun in a fight. I find that too many MMA fans just default to the same "muh functional martial arts beats flashy TMA" and essentially imply that no attacks other than basic kicks and punches should be taken seriously as being "functional". Alfred here really shows that even complex acrobatic kicks can be used to pressure and fend off opponents when you know when to use them.
Some martial arts were developed for niche uses besides one-on-one sparring. Capoeira was used as a complement to other street fighting skills and also as a way to show off against rivals.
The current styles are relatively modern, developed in the early to mid 20th century as a way to make it more formal and "respectable". This allowed Capoeira to secure government endorsement in the 1930s over other styles developed in the country, and most likely allowed it to be preserved at all.
I really liked. It have the same energy of the Ganryujima Tournament. Hope they make a similar event.
Yes, and please send this to anyone else who might like it. I'm going to tell Alfred to send this video to the event organizers so that we get three rounds of match next time!
I can't wait to see this...I've been watching your channel for a while and love the channel...
We need more Capoeira in here. It's fun to watch.
This was a good exhibition match, I wish they would've gotten to fight the additional 2 rounds. I'm sure the second round would've been amazing after Alfred would've gotten in the swing of things..the fight was still 👍 I enjoyed it even though it was more of a warm up for them..I'm sure it would've been a different match had they known it was only 1 round or if they had been allowed to continue.... keep up the good content you never fail in giving us something good to watch.. going to visit Dean and Alfred's channels. Id like to see Alfred showcase his copoeira skills...
This is just another step in the right direction for capoeira being functional in mma and not just the game.
Awesome video of style vs style. Thank you
The second pov you can get a better idea of the size difference. Great show, Dean!
That was the most impressive and well executed capoeira I have ever seen
Look for Barraozinho (Marco Aurelio)
Wish this lasted 3 rounds!
Agreed!
Interesting match, i really love to see capoeira implemented in fights. I did capoeira Angola for some time but never managed to apply it in a match XD.
Not really sure what the gameplan from the bokator guy was. His opponent had a hight advantage but He kept his arms low and a very low stance. Was this his first fight? Dont want to be disrespectful, just thinking that He probably lacks experience.
I'm Ready!!!
Glad I stuck around!
I'm salty that there was no three rounds. Those two deserved better.
bokator foot kicking has level 12 but his action like level 1 too
Generally-speaking, traditional S.E. Asian martial arts like bokator, muay boran & pencak silat tend towards a lower, more squat stance to anticipate opportunities at takedowns. The catch 22 being that these techniques rely on *form* (kata) to execute, as well as counter-attack mode of operation. With the more modern, upright muay thai-esque stance designed to allow for better strike manueverability.
Thus, the rather awkward-looking strikes this bokator exponent is pulling off. To the point of actually slipping from his own spin kick. Why? Our stance forms the basis of our tactics. If you're in a traditional stance designed for takedowns, the lowered centre of gravity plus weight distribution will hinder your ability to fire isolated strikes (kickboxing style kicks & punches) effectively. Thus, he shouldn't have chased the capoeirista in that stance & instead wait to counter with appropriate form.
The capoeirista is not only well-conditioned but clearly learnt & has exposure, as well as sparring experience with non-capoeira fighters. Judging by his well-timed kicks that *did* connect, most of the time. And this exceeded my expectation, tbh. Since my initial presumption was, "Ah, capoeira. RIP economics of movement." Now? I'm actually impressed. He's a master of his art, no doubt. Very smooth application of acrobatic kicks. Which isn't something one would see too often off the silver screen.
Overall, nice exhibition fight to gauge & analyze the potential of either styles for ring/cage combat situations. Bravo! 👏
I want to see Taido vs Capoeira next time.
I love this it should be more common
Oh snap Alfred Kendrick! He's an awesome capoeirista. The purple cord is professor rank
I came for the fight..
I stayed for the throat singing..
really neat
The purple stash is a "Cordao", it's a rope belt, like coloured belts in other MA. Pretty much all groups have diferent colours, so I dont know which level is the guy, but he must clearly be some high level student, Instructor, maybe Professor.
Lets see if my country’s capoeira works against this deadly art 🇧🇷
Hope you enjoyed! We will definitely do another one of these soon. Alfred and Dean will be back on this channel soon!
Nice :3
Damn, What event was this going down in LA? Haha
Lucid fighting!
Dean ran into Eddy Gordo. He is lucky this man didn't wreck him.
I wish Dean should have done more of the traditional bokator dancing.
Next time!
ฉันมาทำอะไรที่นี่......
ดูแล้วขัดอารมณ์......
Where was all this happening?
bokator hand to hand combat has level 8 but his action like level 1
noob haha
The bokator guy is... lets say it nicely, a beginner
It's strange to see Bokator for the first time. You can see elements of Muay Thai but seems to have a very low stance, very side on too like some kung fu styles. It's almost like the dances you see at the start of Muay Thai, the traditional poses at the start of the fight are almost like a good few stances seen here.. The More erect stance of Muay Thai seems more effective, shame it didn't have 3 rounds, would like to have seen the high stance.
Imagine traveling across the world to see ONE round.... This is why we have internet.
MMA just make something incredible, instead of destroying traditional martial arts, it's force them to evolve. Kung fu, Karate, Capoeira, all of them are adapting to MMA.
We could see the same type of change BJJ bring to martial arts in the 90s.
The purple rope means he is pretty advanced. Like that's many many years level. He actually did pretty good ngl
I don't know if I'm spelling it right but the purple rope is called a _corda;_ it can really be any colour and can be used as an irritating distraction in a match or just to show off with in exhibition.
Thanks for the info!
Vamos ver como a capoeira vai se sair!
Fun fact, Cambodians say Bokator means lion killer.. but in reality there are no lion ever existed in Southeast Asia. Another fact, bokator had lots of dancing before but now look more like muay thai
Why did they brought a guy wasn't skill enough for Bokator
Yah this is good though still completely demonstration. Both have to contend with a very slippery floor so...attention to better footwear next time. If scoring for points or knockout, we will see more conclusively next time
Yeah, next time it'll be three rounds. Like I said in the commentary, we thought it was going to be three rounds, so first round was more just testing the waters. The pace would have been turned up on the second and third rounds. I will show this video to the venue so that they know next time how many audiences want to see a full match!
The tall guy whooped him
Fun fact , Bokator inspired by Ong bak the movie
No, it was not inspired by that movie. Bokator has been around since the 12th century.
@@Lisapizza143 ignore this ultra-nationalist Thai. they're literally just bots lol
is this the academy nightclub in LA?
Yep
That Capoeira guy legs so tall he maintain his range so good, Bokator guy need to play with his fist more often his defence and reflect good but no good follow up. That slippery mat tho lmao
Yea if he could stay consistent with his offense he could be deadly…
Its called Distance Striking
Thanks for that term!
BOKAToR continued as a Major part that was copied from the Thai boxing movie Ong Bak. They lied to their own people that they were old boxers, but in reality all the poses were copied from the movie of Cha Phanom.In fact, there must be a dance, using fists, knees, elbows that are all imitated from Muay Thai.
That's actually a really good fight, but the Bokator guy really needs to work on his balance. Capoeira guy's got good strikes, but he seriously needs to get his timing right. Great fight, but both guys have to improve their fighting, otherwise, I'll assume this as choreography. And they both have to quit stumbling sometimes while they're fighting, that's a huge mistake in a match like this because it just means you lost your balance standing up to your opponent.
I might need to train in:
Boxing (both professional and Khmer)
Bokator
Muay Thai
Wrestling
Kickboxing
Lethwei
and Goju-ryu karate
In Dean's defense, the mat was being used by BJJ people for a submission tournament. It had a LOT of sweat. I don't know if they wiped it down before this exhibition match. Tripping happens to all of us. You should see some of my trips when I spar ;)
Bokator guy's strikes were soft af.
"Meia lua de compasso" Nice portuguese, Man.
That word, Bencao and Queixada are the only three Capoeira words I know. Actually, Martelo too ;) So four. I'll learn more as I practice more.
Those guys should get together and put on another sparring match without the promoter!
Totally, we might just organize something ourselves soon ;)
DJ YU
looked more like an exhibition thing but good nonetheless....100% better than fake Tai Chi masters getting owned left and right ahahah
Thank you bro!!!
Cambodian ancestor is not muay thai. It is Kun Khmer or Kun boran original word please.
Bokator is ancient techniques from Khmer Empire in Cambodia. It's not Muay Thai. It's different thing.
Very interest I try this with a Friend he is a kapoeiera guy .. very annoying I say
Se não tivesse de capacete o capoeirista já tinha nocauteado 😂😂
That white dude built like a bus driver.
imitation country
Wait I’ve never seen a bokator fighter have fought like that Bruhh how can you called it bokator 🤣I Mean if he really wanted to know about bokator come and try at cambodia 🇰🇭 and you’ll taste the real flavor of it.
Bokator is the father of Muay Thai. Most people don’t know this. It’s been around in Cambodia before the Cambodian gave a country to the Siamese.
Fake news from Looserland everytime
Ur weak as country ain’t even older then 100 years
th-cam.com/video/zo1e7XUWkME/w-d-xo.html
Bokator is the father of copy, no root no fundamental no real culture. Everything received from Siam because they was colonized by siam for more than 400 years ago.
This is Bokator of Combodia 🇰🇭
This is not MuyThia .Copy of Khmer 🇰🇭
Bruh
Hope you enjoyed!
100% not real bokator being used
Wow they couldn’t try one basic strike ?
Really disappointing. The capoeira guy turned the head when the other inexperienced fighter closed the gap. Lots of pointless show of from both.
A lame copy version of Ong Bak movie 🤣🤣🤣
Bokator is a copy martial art of Ong Bak
Ong Bak (Muay Boran) came from Bokator.
@@FightCommentary LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣 find me your documents if Ong Bak came from Bokator. If your bokator original why the UNESCO rejected you guys twice ? 🤣🤣🤣
@@soracham.3926 He boy now UNESCO Accept bokator since 2 week ago where is muay boran? have movie ang bak but UNESCO reject:)) bokator 2000 years already!
Bokador is a joke that copy movement from Ong Bak. It isn't even real. I don't know who fool you.
Dance style vs real martial 😂
Bokator better than muay thai
I dunno, man. I don't thing that Capoeira is ever going to be taken seriously in full contact combat sports. Their kicks have 0 snap.
May I ask what snap has to do with it?
Do you realize the momentum built up from their motion adds to the impact of their kicks? What are you talking about? There's a fight science video that proves capoeira has some of the strongest kicking techniques.
Take one capoeira class with some sparring and tell me if you still think they got no power lol. I took one and I was scared shitless
Got kicked by one of them broke my arm that's why its regard as a dance cause if it was regarded as a close up combat sport it would be deadly and illegal
@@shawnybpro4655 and it was illegal
Bullshido vs Bullshido

@@tyronechillifoot5573 Bullshido vs Bullshido
Trolling in good video i see
@@doomedtolove9214 nah looks like Bullshido vs Bullshido
@@mochigb621 does it count as bullshido if both practicioners spar regularly?
Bokator is extremely underrated 😬
