- Anything can happen in Muay Thai! Even with good intentions unfortunate events can arise. Superlek’s joking attempt to throw a flying knee slipped through his sparring partners guard and glanced him on the brow, resulting in an injury. Both displayed nothing but respect before, during and after the session. We do not advertise this to promote hard sparring but only to display how accidents can happen without malleus intent!

I’m the guy in the video, this was controlled sparring, this was not hard sparring and there was no ego involved. Superlek threw an advanced move, with no power and the distance was off. I have been doing this for awhile and sometimes accidents happen even in sparring. He never exceeded a pace or power level that made me feel uncomfortable. I signed the waiver to do this. I would get back in the ring any day and spar him again. Nothing but respect for Superlek and all the Yokkao guys, he was very sorry and they bandaged me up very quickly. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
thanks for clearing the comment section! you took it like a champ! and you looked like you were ready for anything! thank you
so glad you're okay! took it like a champ
เสียใจในอุบัติเหตุนี้ครับ หายไวๆ
Well, at least you can brag to your gf if a muay thai champion give you the scar..
Now go find a gf!
Hey not many of us get to say “I sparred with superlek” not alone got the cool ass scare to prove it . Keep doing what you love .
You got Superlek's signature as a scar, something to be proud of, even if it's a sparring accident.
Its a proof that you once sparred with a legend.
If roles were reversed though people would be hating on the guy
@@gamesidowner2 If the guy tries to take Superlek's head off then yeah, if he went light but accidently cuts Superlek I wouldn't blame the guy
Something to tell your grandkids about before you leave.
@@gamesidowner2 It would entirely depend on how he reacted afterwards, if it was accident the same way and he was very sorry about it I doubt the reaction would be any diff.
@@duval7660 Knees and elbows to the head are a no go in sparring for this exact reason, they cut, it was a dick move throwing a flying knee in what was pretty light sparring.
He got to experience what every fighter wanted. A flying knee to the head by his idol and Saenchai packing him up. I'm so happy for him
Fr
Lol right? You’d be shaken but would look back at that moment forever with fondness
who else cant get enough of these yokkao seminar vids? feel good vibes! makes me bummed i missed them when they came through
How could you miss them?! You lucky Americans, ungrateful people... As a Russian, id give a lot just to be there...
@@ltroy_sw ungrateful? Boi… what if we have work 😂
@@flyingknee23 can't skip Saenchais and Superleks seminar for work.
@@ltroy_sw far away from home young fighters like me have no way of getting there. Broke my heart
@@ltroy_sw you're probably unaware how big california is lol
I love how he hugs him so much after
I would be so proud in his position...it's like getting a autograph on your face forever
i was cut by Superlek ! awesome souvenir!
Have you? Are you the guy in the video?
@@MCMLXXXIV1984 no he’s not. The guy in the video is named donnel
Superlek should've powered down to Regularlek in this round.
loving the seminar videos, please make them longer!!
Soon as superlek saw he cut him he used his shoulder to stop the bleeding of the dude.
Saenchai putting the bandage 🩹 this guys are so humble👏🏻
Donell was such a great partner with the drilling. He was helpful and patient with me being newer to Muay Thai. Way to represent TX Muay Thai Donell! If you see this I hope our paths cross again.
Thanks, you were an excellent partner. You will go far in this sport, you have the best attitude 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@dsampson5031 you doing alright? Add me on IG
Yeah man, I’m good, not my first war wound.
Flying knee in sparring is no go.
An all around lesson in good sportsmanship!
Who else is jealous of that cut/scar?
Me..
me too
Lol
That's a hell of a souvenir to take home with you.
almost put me in tear so emotional
i’d be GEEKING if he gave me a souvenir like that i’m so jelly
Whoops! A flying knee......
Hope he gets well soon... This things happen, head up....
Shit happens... It's contact sport and he didn't try to take his head of out of his shoulders.
Yea from the replay its soft. Must've hit in on that part where the skin is thin. Obviously light sparring but experienced dude should've kept it basic, or done flying knees to the body.
Just dont throw a fucking flying knee in Sparring
Superlek said " I think he will not let his head down .
You should NEVER throw flying knees in sparring
0:01 When you’re from Thailand but you heard about the hospital bills in America. 😂😂😂
Good Sparing 💪
Accidents happen and that was 100% an accident 🙏
Bet he felt bad. Well controlled sparring
Got graduated into Sagat 😅
It's a very unfortunate accident, I'm not sure why he would do a flying knee head height while just play sparring he was clearly very sorry though an accident that should of not happened.
No hate but I feel from this and other videos that Superlek is generally going a bit harder in sparring then Saenchai.
It's like he's not good at saving hands.
20 year ago is when the world first saw flying knee in Tony jaa movie and think it's just for show like Kung fu. Now a day it's proven to be effective 1 hit K.O move
Would be an honor. 🙏
Respect
Wounds heal, memories like these last forever!
superlek a menace
Wear it with honor
Levels homie, levels…
Shit happens....that's fighting....but what a honor that he got the cut from Superlek!😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
bro i would be so proud of that scar
yes is ok some time sparring will get hurt a little bit otherwise how do you get experience for fighting with others and the trainer he is not wanted to do it in purpose right and the student very nice and smiling 😀 👍
i dont think it was the knee that hit him. it was the shin guard. he pulled back his knee and the tip of the shin guard hit the crease of his forehead .
A knocked out tooth, a cut from a flying knee🙄 What's next, Superlek?
Be proud bud, I would love to rock a scar from Superlek ;)
‘AcCiDeNtAl’
its hard to play fight when one is literally the best in the world and the other (although way better than me) is nowhere in the same class...i think situations like this are unwise
No it's fine, the guy is clearly capable of defending himself against Superlek's 33%, more or less. This stuff happens in combat sports even when you're playing.
@@clapdrix72 agreed, they were having fun, knees and elbows are just very easy to cause a cut
@@clapdrix72 I'm just saying this is the second video I've seen of him now within 2 days he threw a stiff jab and knocked another guy's tooth out at another gym in America where he was a guest host for a weekend Clinic... but I do understand your point injuries happen I have been kickboxing for a long time now and I am the husband of a professional kickboxer who has also watched his wife fight bare-knuckle MMA so I know about injuries LOL
@@albertwisenauer3188 Yeah no doubt, he could tone it down 5% I suppose but that's pretty nitpicky. The tooth was 100% the other guy's fault - that's what mouthguards are for. Hit as hard as you want to get hit, he's not bullying them.
So dope. But such an unfortunate accident.. feel sorry for the guy. Cuts suck big time. That one's gonna scar too ...
Let’s be honest why throw a knee to the head with no knee pads?
If a student had done this to him nobody would be defending it. I know it was controlled and I know there was no power but still look what can happen, it’s like elbows. Just my opinion, I throw jump knees to the head often in sparring with good knee pads on and also stopping it at the end, nobody gets cut or hurt and we know it landed flush. On the other hand it’s not that big of a deal in this case.
Doesn’t seem very accidental, he was trying to get knees to the head right before the flying knee ?
Surely a correction of overly committed sparring....Superlek is a very dangerous fighter who is one of the best in the world
no knees while spar
Yeye "accidental"
This is an unfortunate accident that’s inevitable, although superlek definitely broke a cardinal rule by throwing knees to the head. But, you can’t expect a pro, or any man for that matter, to sit back against another fighter that raises the intensity. Once pride gets triggered and you go into the zone it’s on and popping.
That's not inevitable lmao, the rule is simple, you can throw flying knees in sparring as long as you don't raise the knee at the end of the movement, that's why I have no idea why people are so lenient with him in the comment section. If superlek had thrown a gutted flying knee and the guy had ducked into it, why not. But that was a full amplitude movement, of course that kind of shit will connect
dude was going all in on superlek
i feel so bad for the both of them
ik dam well that knee hurt like a mfr and superlek looked like he was bout to cry
Well you throw flying knees, that's what happens lol. You cant control how hard a flying knee will land.

It turns out that muay thai is really dangerous
😂
If he did it to him it would be another story
Sometimes we zig when we should have zagged...
Is everyone here, just a bunch of cheerleaders? How are people cool with what superlek did? you don't freaking throw knees to the head while sparing your partner unless your very comfortable with each other and agree to this. How do you go to another country with people you don't normally spar with and just throw flying knee, for fun? This is the s hit that can happen, he will most likely need a butterfly stitch bare minimum. And people thinking is cool to say I got this scar by superlek, then when people ask when did you fight him and you respond with sparing I will most likely laugh in your face. Getting injured while sparing doesn't get any form of respect just stupidity. Look how sorry he was after? Ok, being sorry doesn't excuse the clear stupidity of what he did. S hit like that would be an issue in Thailand but people here are acting like it's cool.
I agree with you 100%. I respect Muay Thai fighters but come on you are an experienced fighter with many fights. Superlek should've known better than to just joke around and throwing a flying knee. A flying knee is very deadly. I also think they should've wore headgear to prevent cuts like this from happening. Ik Superlek was sorry to the guy but this "accident" could've been avoided. I hate how the comments saying I would be jealous if he had a scar like that. It annoys me. Thank you for pointing this out and not be those people who said that. Saenchai in my opinion is the only one that jokes around but is very careful. He spars light until people try to go all out. Much love to you bro. God bless you and your family.
ye it was dumb - superlek spars with amateurs and nubs a lot harder than any of the other thai pros.
You can throw flying knees in sparring, as long as you gut the end of the movement (not raise the striking knee all the way up). However what Superlek did was a knee with full amplitude, no idea why this comment section sucks him off
People who would laugh at this have never attended a sparing session in their life, who cares about their opinion? fighters hurt and get hurt (even in light sparing, even if it's not wanted), period.
When you step in the ring, you do it knowing that you are risking your health and your life or you are not doing it at all. No shame in getting hurt and gaining experience.
Have a good one
@@azteaa If someone tells me they got a scar on their head cause Saenchai cartwheel kicked them during sparring im gonna LMAO. so laughing is how we judge if anyone attended a real sparring match? ok. lol.
I'm jealous man. Congrats
To be honest I'm surprised of how hard Superlek is going, even before the knee.
It seemed too competitive. And in Thailand you never knee to the head or elbow during sparring (without elbow pads / agreement)
Seems strange and a bit disappointing. Not the Thai spirit imo
exactly 😡😡😡😡😡
What an honour, to be cut by superlek and bandaged up by saenchai!
Ovo nije slucajno
The "sparring police" keyboard warriors...Jesus
Einfach dumm.
Humble shmumble... Reaction of Superlek i can understand - its about money. Every tour is about money. Do not understand me wrong - all team of YOKKAO is fantastic legends. But, do not confuse things.
If a white guy did this to a Thai legend, the comments would have been absolutely wilding tf out with the 'disrespect' comments. From the teep alone I could tell this Superlek guy is some egotistical maniac, so wasn't surprised to see the flying knee follow up.
In fact, it is evidence that controlling own emotions and intention was not easy. Why he must make a flying knee ? lose control, or ego to show off? never imitate Saenchai fighting or movement skills Saenchai he has a good control. Moving by stepping forward utilize own hands, tips kick, or middle kick is more that appropriate and safe during sparring time, to demonstrate good technique rather than jumping movement a bit hard to control and it is unacceptable during the seminar or sparring time. It was unfortunate for Saenchai to immediately break the sparring for the sake of safety when the tempo and emotion was increasing. You do not have to sacrifice your forehead provided unexpected situation on the real sport fighting on the ring no one knows. Sawadikarp 🙏🙏🙏🙏
