His footwork definitely sets him apart. He's so good at creating the right distances while also setting himself up for combos/counters. Also the way he interrupts his own rhythm to throw his opponent off is crazy. It's why he always looks like he's in control and never overextending, yet he lands with knockout power.
Finally, someone’s talking about this guy. I’ve been looking for analysis vid since I’ve discovered him and couldn’t find any. Long time fan, thanks for the content.
He looks utterly unstoppable. If he masters wrestling and/or ground fighting too, I can see him become the best pound for pound fighter in the world, no joke.
Not to be disrespectful but grappling it's another whole world and I don't see him beating guys that have been doing it since kids(still one of the most dangerous strikers in the world for sure)
I like the comparison with the GOAT iron shin Ernesto Hoost. He is the only other person I've seen break his opponents arn with a kick. And he did that to a prime Jérôme Le Banner, the French champ who was build like a tank!
Yeah saying a fighter has a kick like Hoost is pretty much one of the greatest compliments you can give them haha. Hard to think of a better power kicker than Hoost, only 4 or 5 come to mind to compete and most of them are Muay Thai guys from Thailand.
The way he fakes his roundhouse into a front kick is beautiful. Fun fact, Bas Rutten was a vocal advocate of this technique and used it in many of his Pancrase bouts.
I first saw it on Bas Rutten's MMA DVD set and would drill it in the gym when I was healthy enough to train regularly. Landed it in the one kickboxing bout I was in.
one thing i noticed is when he L-steps, instead of bringing his right leg forward back into stance, he slowly lifts it like he is going to then explodes into his side teep. the opponent doesnt have the time to react to the quick acceleration and break in rhythm
I remember watching a random fight of his, and I thought to myself i’ve never seen a fighter look so calm and relaxed he almost looked bored in the fight dude is the real deal.
Tawanchi is one of the best fighters I've ever seen, in any discipline. I found him by accident a few years ago, and watching him fight is like watching a dance of destruction, I can't say enough good things about him. I'm a boxer, not a kickboxer, and I can't help but imagine him as a middleweight boxer...wow!
A very subtle technique of his seems to be facial expressions -- he smiles and make his opponent briefly relax like they're sharing a moment, and then unleash a combo flurry
What I like w thank kid is that is a true and moral warrior. He respects his opponents. He is human and great athlete. I see other fighters they are criminals. They want to destroy, to harm even to kill some times. This guy when he sees his opponent down he retreats calmly and he is not jumping at him punching a many times unconscious person. These guys have primitive instincts and not respect at all. He is an exemplary warrior... someone who is teaching skills and respect as well. May God bless him.
HELL YEAH keep it up tmma this video warmed my heart, i know you have good ins with glory so you keep covering their fighters but lets not beat around the bush we just simply dont care too mutch. But this? This is somebody at the top of the sport and in modern day too, great work!
great skills, handsome, trains with master Seanchai also guarantee good discipline. This guy will be a legendary.

Thank you for this! Tawanchai is my favorite One fighter. Great Breakdown of such an amazing and skilled fighter. Rarely you see a such technical fighter posses extreme power too
the trick is to counter the rotation of your kick with your hip so the kick is like a whip and helps you with balancing. The speed makes up for the power lost in how kicks are usually thrown.
His muscle from legs , body and hands look very strong , training from childhood up to present built His strenght , His blow can knock out most of His opponent
Tawanchai's bones aren't just stronger than yours on a 1:1 basis, his tibia is stronger than your femur, and his tarsals/metatarsals are stronger than your skull. That's the kind of strength you only get from kicking everything and everyone from the age of 7.
We live in an era of truly great Thai Boxers. (If I were but forty years younger.) Thanks for sharing with us! I'm sure I'm not alone in absorbing all I can from your analysis and breakdowns. Which I pass on to my own students. I think this is the best boxing channel on TH-cam. Thanks again. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association
Thai Boxing peaked in the 80s and 90s, straight killers everywhere during that time, also there was way more money and prestige in the sport back then too
Shin bone strength is one of the key advantages Thai fighters usually have over foreign Muay Thai fighters of similar builds who adopted the sport later in life. Western fighters usually has the height and arm reach advantage, but you're not going to find one that's been conditioning their Shin bones since before their teens. That's why kicks from Thai Muay Thai guys are more likely to break bones than most. Should look at fights betweem Thais and Cambodias, the Cambodian fighter regularly end up with broken arm or leg after entering the ring against a Thai.
I'd love to see him and John Haggerty fight one day. That would be an interesting matchup. But, it'll depend if they ever end up in the same weight division.
It may sound crazy, but an Armwrestling Breakdown from you would be fantastic. Larratt vs Cyplenkov 2. Check it out. Larratt says armwrestling is a miniature martial art.
Cro Cop mastered the high kick knockout. Ernesto Hoost mastered the low kick. Tawanchai does it all. If Tawanchai got good at boxing and takedown defense, he'd slaughter his way through the MMA ranks.
His kick-to-close-range-punch shuts down the opponent's kicks, and guarantees that the opponent can only respond with punch counters, which he already has setups for
I love using the teep sidekick when I can, but the thing is, sometimes my sparing partner will say that's cheating because it's neither a teep nor a round kick.
The techniques you're mentioning, pivoting the planted foot first for a round house, a hop to close the distance, are from Tae Kwon Do. If you want to learn putting power in kicks study Tae Kwon Do. They are the Maters Of Kicking.
00:03 The ref must have heard a/the crack, or 'screech' from the opponent after that kick. 100ms after the kick the ref's mouth goes agape/gasp, and immediately looks to the arm and calls the fight, the arm is also 'screened' out at that point. I don't recall seeing anyone with faster kicks than Tawanchai's, not this kick particularly, but all the other high kicks.
too much reliance kick will break his shin. must rely only on footwork to gap disttance and close quarters striking and throwing to make the oppent gass out then it is time for a teep and sweep repeat until all round time is over, avoid strikes to the head so TBI will not grow in the brain
My first Karate teacher was guy that size, I am telling you the man had amazing power.Back when MMA was showing up I had the skills and connections to get into it. I was always afraid I would meet a guy like this and really get hurt. I have really hurt some people using these skills and feel bad about it, so I would not want to really hurt anyone either. I have only kicked one person using these skills, it was a 325 pd buff 6ft 5 foot ball player. It broke three of his ribs put him in the hospital, besides that I have been in 4 street fights, everyone of them went down on the first punch. I do not compare with my first Karate teacher. I sincerely would not want to fight this guy. Tawanchai.
Think he could have an even worse unblockable knee by not just kneeing upward but adding core and lats rotation, hip and leg muscle rotation; and exploding from the other leg as well at the same time this would be unblockable for him...add more posterior chain strength to that forward kick the 3 would be unblockable completely.
He is intelligent just like Buakaw. All the moves he made same as Buakaw. The Thai kick is just like that they don’t move much because power comes from the hip. They just turn their hip to swing the leg.
The never mentioned the contant reajusting of the boxers and thumbing his nose. The ultimate 4D chess move to distract his opponents, you think he's relaxing for a second but out of nowhere comes the sledge hammer.
Like if U can mirror Urself one view U would have Unpredictability but then on da other End U have Anticipation ? So they cancel out means that there is something greater, HUH
Definitely is scarier that he breaks bones. There's lots of calm people. Not a lot that can break your leg with a kick, especially in the same weight class.
Where you look when watching combat sports or how you can see both fighters at once when watching combat sports because I want to learn to breakdown fight?
If you're talking the relationship between the two fighters, look at who is at their preferred distance. That's usually who's winning the fight. Next look at who is dictating the pace and timing. The person who is throwing when they want to and keeping their rhythm even when the other person throws is probably winning. After that it gets more specific but those are the easiest to gauge the fight. If all else fails, pay attention to who is landing what kind of strike and how often haha
I really enjoy how he fights always with supreme calmness composure and precision, like hes solving a math equition rather than fighting in a ring.
angerless
His footwork definitely sets him apart. He's so good at creating the right distances while also setting himself up for combos/counters.

Yeah same here man I thought you was in his 30s with how he fights and how good he is but shit mid 20s is crazy he’s not even in his prime
He looks utterly unstoppable. If he masters wrestling and/or ground fighting too, I can see him become the best pound for pound fighter in the world, no joke.
Not to be disrespectful but grappling it's another whole world and I don't see him beating guys that have been doing it since kids(still one of the most dangerous strikers in the world for sure)
MMA striking is different, he would not be able to fight like he does in MMA
Lol
@@San-oe1xv As I said, if he starts to excel at wreastling or grappling, he will be!
He lost to joe tho
His technique is so clean and always practical , it’s just beautifull to watch.
I like the comparison with the GOAT iron shin Ernesto Hoost.
He is the only other person I've seen break his opponents arn with a kick. And he did that to a prime Jérôme Le Banner, the French champ who was build like a tank!

More people have done it than you would think.
Cung Le broke Frank Shamrock's arm with a kick
Quite a few fighters have done, including one of the GOATS Poatan :)
Le banner took damage previously being in a tournament, I’d this this is more impressive as they’re both fresh
So glad that Tawanchai is finally getting noticed. He is a superlative Muy Thai fighter. Future GOAT!
I think people have been noticing him awhile now.
this guy has been a star since like 14 years old
He's got 130 winstreak but I just heard his name just now
The boy is superstar in thailand for a decade. Onechampionship bring him up internationally
The way he fakes his roundhouse into a front kick is beautiful. Fun fact, Bas Rutten was a vocal advocate of this technique and used it in many of his Pancrase bouts.

That's exactly right, it's part of how he breaks his rhythm. He always explodes forwards between the normal stepping patterns, off beat.
I remember watching a random fight of his, and I thought to myself i’ve never seen a fighter look so calm and relaxed he almost looked bored in the fight dude is the real deal.
I'd love to see an analysis on Noiri Masaaki for the smooth combinations and mixing knees and boxing and kicking fluidly
Second!
@@bibekjung7404 Ok

Hey David been watching your great videos for a while. You are without a doubt the best fighting analyst on TH-cam!❤
Thank you!
For sure- great work and 🙏 thanks
Another great breakdown on an awesome striker !!! Will we get some videos on Takeru (since he's scheduled to fight Rodtang) and Superbon too ?
Hopefully Superbon if I have the time! One is great about working with me on this kind of stuff so I'm sure they're very open to Superbon.
Incredible video! Love seeing these type of thorough technique breakdown for different combat sports!
What I like w thank kid is that is a true and moral warrior.

What a good breakdown! Well done! I really love that teep into a side kick. I have never seen any thaiboxers do that before.
HELL YEAH

Thank you for this! Tawanchai is my favorite One fighter. Great Breakdown of such an amazing and skilled fighter. Rarely you see a such technical fighter posses extreme power too
Cold and as brutal as the iceberg against the Titanic
Beautiful! I love these muay thai breakdowns
Great breakdown! The fight with Petchmorakot, who is a superb fighter, is one of my favorites matches.
Tawanchai really playing Street Fighter irl with those microsteps and set ups man
the trick is to counter the rotation of your kick with your hip so the kick is like a whip and helps you with balancing. The speed makes up for the power lost in how kicks are usually thrown.
Superbon will give Tawanchai a run for his money in the kicking department! Super hyped for that one.
Future goat for sure. He has it all - speed, power, defense and perhaps most importantly, timing.
Tawanchai's kicks are devestating but Superbon ate his kicks(often to the body) like they were nothing.

1:30 hearing you absolutely butcher louisville being a kentucky native was the funniest part of the entire video
I like watching his fights, he is so relaxed. Reminds me a bit like Cro Cop, nothing to worry about in the stand up strikes

Tawanchai is pretty tall for a thai fighter .even thai people are getting taller as time goes by we will see thai 6.2 fighters in the next generation

His blitz jab is a really important tool for him starts all his combos and pressure
this is what ive been waiting for
His technique is a thing of beauty, with very little tell.
Great break down. Thanks
All fighting styles do work but it all about the skill beside it his time to shine so congrats for now 👏👏👏
What a nice guy. He even wears fluorescent green socks just so his opponent know how the lights were turned off xD

Do a video on Kyoji Horiguchi! Would love to see your take on Karate in MMA
great idea
That fight with Kiria make some people ask, "What should I do when opponent kick?" while thinking about Kiria do something wrong lol.
great breakdown
Haven't heard the intro song before. Sounds great!
Thank you for blurring that broken arm
I love this channel
i remember the CroCop vs Fedor video. never let a slugger a chance to move forward.
A video on how to develop iron shins would be very cool
Cro Cop mastered the high kick knockout. Ernesto Hoost mastered the low kick. Tawanchai does it all. If Tawanchai got good at boxing and takedown defense, he'd slaughter his way through the MMA ranks.
background soundtrack is excellent
His kick-to-close-range-punch shuts down the opponent's kicks, and guarantees that the opponent can only respond with punch counters, which he already has setups for
His kicks have a Savate inspired hop step in them. esp for his teeps.
Geez. This guy is a monster! You never realize how complex fighting is until you have reviews and breakdowns. Thank you!
Can you do a breakdown from the Filipino flash nonito donaire
Yes, more thai boxing and kick boxing, could i suggest rukiya anpo and maybe revisiting lerdsila.
I love using the teep sidekick when I can, but the thing is, sometimes my sparing partner will say that's cheating because it's neither a teep nor a round kick.
yodsanklai is another guy with unblockable kick can you do a breakdown of him too!! 🥰🙏🙏🙏
I know this is not about the video, but can you do the mythical fighters of mma or boxing?
His teep is insanely fast and powerful. Can be the GOAT no doubt.
I was going to say that, too! Damn, I would love to teep like him. So AWESOME and hilarious to watch.

Great video, you should do masato next
Can u do one about Dany bill 🙏
I think that Tawanchai himself would say that those kicks that Modern Martial Artist says are feigned are actually strategy recalculations.
superbon video next?
He is a muay thai fighter but i can also see some elements of taekwando, karate and kickboxing on his style.
Lol.
Masato kobayashi explained?
He seems laidback, is it his kicks and punch are pinpoint precision. His shin must be the hardest.
