- After taking 21 years of Karate, I had to see what Muay Thai has to offer!
I have been Training in Muay Thai under my instructor Josh Brackett for a little over a year now, and while I am not a novice when it comes to punching and kicking heads, (sparring, of course.. or kumite, if you will) I am always down to learn new things. This is the before and after fight breakdown of my sparring journey since I have started diving into muay thai! While I don't expect myself to automatically turn into a Buakaw, Saenchai or a Samart caliber fighter, it is very important to understand what a style like Muay Thai can offer you! Kickboxing is a big part of my life, so reflecting on this past years growth has been a blast!

What style would you like to take for a year??
Boxing
taekwondo again
Because I do tkd
@@DaNDmsIsgfP24S i agree
Karate. Jk! How about Arnis/Kali/Escrima/FMA?
Other youtubers: i trained muay thai for 1 week, this is what happend
Sensei seth: so anyways, i trained muay thai for an entire year..
Hahaha

Just paused Bloodsport to watch this!!!!! 🔥🙌💯😮
What an honor, grandmaster!
damn, thats true friendship right there

Woah

Big fan of the cross discipline stuff man. As a life-long nak muay, I've had taekwondo and karate guys come into the gym and absolutely light me up. If I could afford to study more disciplines I would, so much respect for people that do.
It definitely makes a difference!
I know excatly what you mean brother, my most difficult seassions have always been against karate guys in the ring. There is a dude who did karate in my gym and he blocks and parries our straight shots from long to mid range like a demon. He throws a right straight to the body so fast while covering such distance it is insane
They set you on fire?
Interesting, the experience from my Muay Thai gym is pretty much the opposite. The guys from from karate, taekwondo etc.backgrounds tended to struggle in sparring and some of them were highly ranked guys with years of experience too. The ones that did do well and pretty quickly were the guys that had come from a boxing background, they tended to adapt well and often could be a real handful in sparring.
@@rgrtnyjjc From my experience: It varies. Some are shit, some are decent, and some just surprise you.
What I have noticed from the conversations afterwards is either they had a great instructor that drilled practicality, strength training and condition OR they had sporty point style and can adapt OR they had sporty point style and suck at adapting OR they thought training in Karate meant only during scheduled classes.
But of the styles in my area related to Karate...Shotokan for some reason mostly gets their assess handed to them. While Kyukoshin or Okinawan Karate guys hurt.
As for TKD... depends if they can adapt or not...and if they're from WTF or ITF.
Honestly, just depends on how they were exposed to Sparring and how they were drilled.
“If only side kicks worked”
Stephen Thompson is shaking his head in disappointment right now
This was dope to watch! Love the progression and the motivation to train in this sport for one year!
I’m training to come to Canada! And get some light sparring!!!.... 😂😂 see you in 15 more years, please stop training until then lmao
@@SenseiSeth 😆
I lowkey wanna see you do this to other combat sports, like a year of wrestling and how that would help your karate
Would be really dope!
+1
A lifetime dedicated to this series
That sounds like awesome idea, would love to see how judo would affect his karate as well
@@SenseiSeth do this with boxing!
"The confidence of striking comes from not worrying if you miss."
I love that as soon as Seth said "As you can see I'm very out of my element" just doesn't feel right starts playing🤣
Hahaha had to find music that fit the feeling
This is why you're one of my favorite martial arts youtubers.
You enjoy the video??
@@SenseiSeth Yeah! I just like that you model a growth mindset for your viewers. Seeing the before and after comparison is cool. I also enjoy karate and have been trying Muay Thai so I guess this is relatable as well.
Oh that’s sick, been enjoying it??
@@SenseiSeth Yeah! The people I train with are really cool!
That’d the best
Lots of controlled technical sparring, which is how ALL students improve across a long period of time. Steady progression, love to see it.
muay thai style of sparring like people do in Thailand gyms is the best imo
@@danielluz1861 ye
muay thai is like the perfect martial art that was fated to join together with karate. Like the power of muay thai and the snappiness of karate....that's literally all u need to go crazy with your kicking game
Tenshin nasukawa baby!
Kickboxing much better tbh
@@omar619kamis muay thai is litterally kickboxing -_-
@@tauhid9983 wiff elbows lol
Now you have to blend every striking style and make your own version of karate. Boom rich
What should I call it?
Kara-Thai.
@@SenseiSeth Call your style アダムス拳流空手道 - The Way of the Empty Handed Style of Adam’s Fist 👊

PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES. I trained *blank* for 1 year.
That’d be a TOUGH series to keep up with!
@@SenseiSeth how about I trained *martial art* for a month.
*Finishes in 2032
@@SenseiSeth maybe do a month instead of a year would be rly interesting
@@SenseiSeth try 3 month. Jeet kune do. Good school
Ayeee for real, this is a wonderful study of martial arts thank you for sharing!!!
This was legit amazing! The courage to wade into an art you're not familiar with and the discipline to stick with it for a year! Kudos. Subscribed
I appreciate the evolution seth. The movement and faint progression from day one to day 365 was night and day. You are really good at them now. It show in your sparring confidence. Good job sensei Seth.
Very good video. Nice to see someone who is a high level T.M practitioner open minded enough to not only try a new striking art, but learn from it. Keep it up man, your channel is slowly growing!
We’re moving along! Thanks Kevin 🙏
Love it! I'm going to start muay Thai tomorrow, can't wait to see progress like you did over a year. 🙏🏻
Go get it!! 👏👏
How it’s going?
How did the Muay Thai go?
Did you like it? Im about to start taekwondo or muay thai and not sure which one yet
Amazing! My boys are primarily Kyokushin practioners. However for two years now they also trained in Muay Thai. Definitely sharpened thier tools by combining two.
You are such a great teacher. The way you teach multiple technics is fantastic. I took tae kwon do and love to kick but i have learned a lot from watching your channel. Thank you for that.
Wonderful! Thank you again again again, Seth. Awesome work.
Means a lot to me 🙏🙏
Very cool episode. Thanks. A good match to see is between Tenshin Nasukawa vs Rodtang (Rise tournament). Tenshin has a slightly bladed stance and Rodtang has the traditional Muay Thai stance.
Very cool to see how you clearly retain your style while learning to incorporate these new elements into it!
Absolutely loved this video brutha! Especially as a person that came from Karate styles into a solid muay thai gym myself!!!
I can definitely see the improvement in your sparring sessions.
I’m surprised the nak muays didn’t utilize any teeps to try and break your rhythm.
From my experience, teeps are good counters to the karate blitz.
They are not nak muays, they are farangs.
This video is right on time. I’ve been doing Karate for almost 5 years and recently received my Black Belt. I’ve been going to a kickboxing/Muay Thai school to help Conditon me me for my black belt test and I was in a for a big surprised.
That first time I was kicked in my leg automatically showed me I’m sparring with different people. But it made me better and the conditioning I got there truly prepared me for my test.
So thanks for this video and all of them. You being a fellow karate guy and showing journey is aspiring. I wish you the best Sensei. OSU
Beautiful work Sensei. Fun and educational video... and serious respect for your openness to sharing your learning journey as well as your karate awesomeness. 🙏👊❤️
Man, exactly my journey! Thanks for this video. It is (was) a very big adjustment to jump from karate to muay thai, but at the end of the day it has been very rewarding and something that i think every karate practitioner should try.
You know what this means, Seth? You and Icy Mike gotta spar again. 😃
Interesting. As a wushu and a sanda practitioner I engaged in MT for a year and improved a few things: My guard became better. The roundhouse kicks more powerful. And the offensive a lot more straightforward. However, the MT-guys were suprised by my overall kick speed and particular my fast punishing back kicks. For me I found these two styles to complement each other very nicely.
Which one is more dangerous/better for self defense? Sanda or MT? What are the things Sanda has that MT doesn't and vice versa?
@@samuelc.9686 The easy answer is Muay Thai. The more elaborate answer is that Sanda stems from traditional Shaolin training which includes take-downs, wrestling, locking and breaking techniques - all with bare hands! Thus, Sanda fighters often have a few aces up their sleeves that are not shown in Sanda sparring or Sanda competitions. However, since Muay Thai students often learn quite quickly to become fairly ok fighters I would recommend MT for easily applied self defense use. But if you want to dwell deeper into martial arts I would instead recommend to search for a reputable Shaolin Sifu and entirely submit to hard training for 5-7 years. After that your body is hard as stone. You are fast as lightning. Your body is flexible like the body of a ballet dancer. And your mind is focused like a laser.
Yo needed this in my Life🔥
_PERFECT!_
Nice work! You’ve developed an incredible style here looking forward to more
Thanks for making this video Sensei Seth! I've been working on a fusion of Karate, Muay Thai, and Boxing for several years. While the footwork may be fundamentally different for each style, I found I was able to blend a hybrid boxing and Muay Thai Stance, albeit more of a squared up stance for close range attacks and boxing(peekaboo style aligns with Muay Thai perfectly) , and more of a traditional Karate/boxing stance to emphasize movement and to set up blitzes. I believe Boxing and its footwork is the go-between for Muay Thai and Karate.
It's awesome the coaches at the Muay Thai gym didn't give you grief for your Karate style. A lot of coaches from my experience would get insecure if someone comes in with a different style and try to change them rather than work with them to become more complete.
Yea, it’s all about the growth!
It's a bunch of lies. 😂😂😂
I had a similar problem when i did boxing for one year after i had Taekwondo for 6 years at that time. shifting the backfood and hip for good backhand attacks helped alot.
True that!
That was a great idea, Seth! Whenever possible, I've trained other styles. Wado Ryu and Renshinkan karate being two examples. I've always left with added knowledge and techniques.
Really awesome how you embrace weak pints and improved. Taking ego out is the way to imporve at anything. Awesome to see someone applying karate techniques effectively too - i'd had to spar with someone with that kind of sidekick/guard
Cool, to see the progression.
Thanks!!
Time for that wonderboy rematch. Be great to see how you do again with all the adjustments you've made.
I have a feeling it’ll look *exactly the same* lol
@@SenseiSeth Nah, the end result might be but bro. Who among us mere mortals is ever going to say they messed up an mma bro with his record in mma/kickboxing etc.
But I guarantee that how you lose will be different. You managed to surprise him a few times the first time. I reckon you'd do so again this time with different techniques as you grown as a fighter. Plus it would be good for the views.
3rd try is the charm I guess!
Amazing and insightful analysis. Great job.
side stance+ square stance + switch stance.....its all so much fun. i really appreciate the way you address both styles and the way they interact....not just in this video but other clips too.
Thank you 🙏
i love the term chubby surprise lol. id like to believe i got that going on too, granted not as refined as you
A surprise, is a surprise, no matter how surprising it is!! Lol
Its called a chode
@@BEATmyguest31 that's not much of a surprise now is it?
Met up with some chick on tinder
was a chubby surprise
It feels like so long since the last upload
Posting less frequently for a bit, but making the videos better!
It feels like 3 weeks but it’s only been a week
Seth, it’s amazing how similar our paths are. I’m a Kajukenbo black belt - which essentially means I’m a karate black belt. A few years ago I realized there was a big gap in my striking game, and decided to take Muay Thai to help round things out. Lo and behold, I came to basically the same conclusions as you did.
Muay Thai definitely changed the way I spar and approach my martial arts practice, but I try not to forget that karate has its own place in direct combat - it’s just a matter of learning to blend the two styles together comfortably.
This is, hands down, my favorite video of yours to date.
Amazing, Seth 👏 💪 👊
Seth you seem like a pretty big guy such as myself, how are you able to do all those crazy spin kicks like the 540?
Beats me 😂
Natural talent lul
sensei seth you should know that i have chosen sanda,muay thai,savateto my martial arts arsenal and that my two favorite hybrid kung fu styles are sanda and jkd both are good and effective for self defence and fighting and work in mma it all about eh person not the system
Energy feels up in this vid Seth, great vid keep it up :D
All the golden things Muay Thai taught you as you shared here, are the reasons why it's been my favorite style since I first got into it in 2011.
I looove making the opponent think twice about coming into me, when they find out I'm not afraid of rushing their attacks and jamming them.
This comment is given in tribute to the YT Algorithm deities
The gods accept your contribution
I will start Kickboxing after 20+ years of Karate, once the Dojos can open once again
Doooo it!
Don't let your ego get ahead of you brother
Lol what
@@SenseiSeth You know. How guys get frustrated when transitioning from traditional martial arts to modern martial arts.
Your detailed analysis is very helpful!
Great to see nice, controlled sparring. Not being too contentious, being easy with the power and giving each other the opportunity to attack/defend was lovely to see.
Must be a great group to learn and train with.
This is how sparring should be 95% of the time. If you break all your training partners hard sparring then you will have no one to train with.
Great video.
“but side kicks don’t work” lool nice hook kick counters, especially with the catch
Thanks!!
Thai fighters sidekick too..
How you hold your hands down so low constantly with your chin exposed is unbelievable.
This isn't boxing. They are at kicking distance.
Its because he's controlling the distance out of punching range
@@craigcrissman4651 bullshit excuses! When a punch is thrown at your face, you do not have time to raise your hands and if you read the punch wrong you will get caught! You're an amateur and that's why you think holding your fkin hands down like Bruce Lee is ok and it's not! You'll get KTFO and then you'll wake TF up!
amazing seth! your evolution with the square guard is amazing. still have some stuff to adjust, but there comes another year... :D
Love seeing that progression! Really goes to show how some basic knowledge of Muay Thai can really add some wrinkles to your game!
He went from Sensei Seth to Nak Muy Seth
Muay not muy
The ua sound is important. Without it you are saying something very different.
@@ellefsensbarmyarmy8491 Oops. 😅
So Nak Muay is equal to Sensei?
@@stevenseagull7589
No. Nak muay basically means fighter/boxer in thai.
I can’t speak Japanese , but from my understanding sensei means, or at least are used as, teacher or instructor.
The thai word for for teacher is kru or ajahn. In Muay Thai the word ajahn is often used for highly respected teachers or great fighters. Might translate to master, although the terms are used a bit differently in my experience.
@@ellefsensbarmyarmy8491 Thanks very much.
"Of only sidekicks worked…"
Stephen Wonderboy Thompson disagrees
this is awesome man - the 2 year before and after will be even better. thanks for the inspo!
suggestion: join a boxing gym for a year, would be awesome to see your hands evolve
Respect to both of you warriors, proof you can learn something new anytime
🙏🙏
Son you just reinvented Kyokushin karate before it became rock’em sock’em robots. Watch Andy Hug videos. . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I would like to study more judo to compliment my karate.
I think my styles a little more bouncey than Andy, be he was dope! I’d be lucky to fight like him
I’d also love to do some Judo!
@@SenseiSeth watch fighting Black kings. You will see true Kyokushin not that shit that passes for it now. It’s on TH-cam movies.
Definitely try it out if you have the chance, it will definitely compliment your karate👌
Leg MOUCLES!!! 😂
Ayeee lil
Great to see another martial artist progress on their path
As a longtime karate practitioner, mainly Shotokan, I got into Thai boxing around 10yrs ago and found exactly the same and still practice today. Really cool to see a similar journey. Love your vids by the way. They've been fun, especially during the lockdowns over here in the UK. Cheers J
That’s awesome!
Cobra kai jan 1st pog
Ayeee, can’t wait
No clinching or knees or elbows
That’s just kick boxing
Not Muay Thai
So you spar with elbows do you? Smooth brain, they just didn't clinch up in those rounds
Lol, have you ever been to a Muay Thai class man?
You're right, i'm a MT instructor myself and do a lot of sparring...ellbows, knees and clinching included. For the ellbows there is something like pads and of course you don't have to go 100% all the time...as we can see in the vid ;)
there wouldn't have been any point to show the clinch training i think. There's no clinch in karate so it would just be learning from the ground up.
I felt the same when a took muay Thai clases, i came from taekwondo with a red belt! Now i feel flowing in the Water!! This year i start jjb, and M.Thai!! Excelent video as always!! 🥋🇦🇷🥋🇦🇷🥋🇦🇷🥋🇦🇷🥋🙏
Watched this video a few weeks ago and going to watch it again. I’ve been training Muay Thai for 4 weeks (twice a week) and we spare every session. I did karate for 9 years when I was first and got my black belt in Sho Rin Ryu.
Great video. Good to see you grinding and learning. I come from a Shotokan background and learnt many of the lessons you showed here by transitioning to Kyokushin based styles for a few years. I'd love to spend a year boxing at some point.
Josh's defence is great. His front kick and leg kicks are really effective.
The sparring footage looks excellent, very technical but controlled and EASY, not trying to take each others' head off.Well done.
Thanks!
Killin it Sensei! 👊
Nice transition man!! Sidekicks totally work.
Awesome Seth, thank you!
Interesting to see how your karate fighting style has become more Kyokushin-like by adding Muay Thai.
Thanks for the video.
Dope video,your progress is really good!
Nice progression . Much more confident and tricky. Not pure Muay Thai style ( more karaté ) but it works well . Good job 👍🏻
Thanks for your take on things buddy I appreciate your time and effort. your years of experience out into quick lightbulb over my head vids. Thanks from Canada let us know if you come for a seminar ever
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Moving smooth my guy, I like the constant variation of defensive and offensive tactics to stay unpredictable, if you on the east coast highly recommend sityodtong Boston for some good Muay Thai work, I think it could bring your game up that extra level
i like light sparing ! so educative !
Awesome! Best kind of content!
Heck yesssss
Seth, I just wanted to tell you, you're amazing, you're very good at what you do, very kind and interesting to listen to, even though I don't like karate that much, you're definitely my favorite karate person! Keep doing what you're doing, spreading that love and passion for martial arts! Love you buddy!
Means a lot to me!!
This is great. More sparring break downs please
Amazing lesson of humility and courage to reconsider oneself to evolve, there isn't any Japanese master of karate that would have this kind of humility
This Video Solidified me adding Karate to my May Thai
That path leads to mma! :) Amazing Karate, man! Awesome to see you spar!
Loved this
Really great to see you going to unknown territories and making you better and still better to keep adapting those things that you are already good at. And I think high kicks gets even more powerful when you need to worry about leg kicks. This makes your kicking game even more powerful.
Exactly!! That’s the plan! 🙏 thanks for watching
From the karate spectrum, cutting an angle then blitzing in with his hands (Raymond Daniels sport karate style) works as well 🔥
Only recently started following your channel, and this is the best video I've seen so far. I would like to hear more about incorporating knees and elbows into your game, though. I think you should do a year of BJJ now, with takedowns!
Great video 🎉
cool Vid Seth , keep it up man
This is really cool. Judd reid's training for the 100 man kumite did just this. Incorporating muay thai sparring and technique w/ kyokushin kumite rules. Its pretty cool
Awesome improvement!!!
I feel at home with what you said at the end. I was always good at tagging people with strikes, but they weren't really dangerous. Now practicing muay thai after having done karate the biggest problem I face is throwing hard shots i can't so easily back out from.
I love the time lapse. As a “karate guy” the ability to “survive impressively” in Muay Thai makes it hard to see where you can improve.
puttin in the work son!!!!
Awesome video. Attacking the limbs...like leg kicks, is why I love Mantis Style, which focuses on this. We had to study multiple styles to develop all the footwork, and find where it (grappling) could be applied. Muay Thai was one. Again...Great video.
Sounds like fun!
I'm a big fan ! I have been a Taekwondo, JJJ and Japanese Karate player since 1973 and started Muay Thai and MMA about 5 years ago at the UFC Gym and Black House. My wife and I were assaulted 5 years and I thought it would be good to get more of reality check. Timing and distance is the key ! Thank you being a TH-camr !!! Much love !!!
Thanks a ton!! Great combo!
I like the mix of traditional kicks .. you probably catch so many people off guard.
