It's crazy how different his pad work style is to his fight style. Great textbook technique on the pads, then when he fights he's so unorthodox. Box of tricks. Warrior collective is a beast channel by the way!
Griptonify I think Paul is a fantastic blend of traditional Muay Thai and eclectic creativity, he is unlike 99% of other fighters. I agree completely with your sound description of him! Thanks for the great comments regarding the channel! I do try hard ha ha!
Stuart Tomlinson Dear Stu, I've only really got into your videos recently but I'm always impressed of the level of the content. For me, Paul is the most exciting and actually the best at explaining technique and fundamentals of your Muay Thai instructors. Plus his very unorthodox style really comes from all the Taekwondo style training he must have had from Master Sken. Please keep up the fantastic work
Fuckin wow, your striking through your kinetic linking is ridiculous. What an amazing biomechanics display. Totally opened my perspectives! Great job man!
I agree with you Functional. Ive been an instructor for 10 years and have never seen anything like this. Linking is the perfect term. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the first real combo with the stable 1-footed left hook proceeded by a round kick. And Amazing job by the pad holder. Generally, a fighter can not improve unless the trainer is top tier. Man sharpens on man
+Christian Morales Paul operates on a very different level to most other fighters. I have seen him do things that really should not work but somehow he makes it so ha ha. Luke is a great pad holder and has to absorb a lot of punishment when working with fighters such as Paul on a regular basis
I train for over 25 years in some of the best thai gym there is in Thailand and u sir are 100% legit.u are fast,powerful and in control of ur moves Perfect
Totally blown away at how crisp your technique is. Explosive, deadly fast and accurate. I am very, very inspired, thank you Paul!! I am bookmarking all of your vids! Side note: Never seen a video with that many likes without a single vote down!!! Nice work fellas!!!!
johnnie1600 Hey, really glad you enjoyed this video and the rest of Paul's tutorials on this channel! He is a phenomenal instructor and talent! Keep your eyes peeled for more from him in the future! Thanks for the kind words as well!
If you know him, please tell him I said so! Total badass technique! No one comes close! And also, dont know how long ago it was but saw the fight where his nose got busted up really bad...I hope he is on the mend!!!!!
Hi,Man so awesome about your training...I'm Thai, Originate from Thailand ..I just wanna say " THANK YOU FOR ...YOU LOVE MUAY THAI " you love and also distributed my culture. This is the Way of life of Thai people. thanks man
We need a Xmas treat from Paul Karpowicz absolutely amazing talent love watching his moves very slick and very different to the usual Muay Thai techniques!!!
This guy is amazing.. i see the fight where he had his nose broke and ive never seen a break like that, the fact he carried on and didnt even faze him says it all.. shame it got stopped because of it but jesus it was intense to watch, great guy
That fight with Keith was a great one, the injury to Paul looked so bad, I think everyone in the audience was amazed to see him want to carry on. That is Paul through and through though, he is a legitimate bad ass and a hugely talented fighter. Hopefully we will see him again in the ring before too long!
Paul is truly one of the most talented athletes/coaches I have ever had the fortune to spend time with! You are not on your own, I could watch Paul all day ha ha!
Right hand dragging a right kick with it, using the momentum of the pulled back leg to fuel right hand, coiling the hips for a left hook.. that's just poetry in motion. Very alike to what Andy Ristie and even Ernesto Hoost. I like this guy a lot!
Watched all his videos all superb and explains all moves in great detail. My daughter trains 3-4 times a week and loves musy thai. Will keep showing her pauls videos and show that the more you train the better you get.
Woah man, I have never seen someone throw the swing kick quite like that after the cross, Your kick is landing while the punch is still out there. That was fast and tricky looking I want to try it out now.
Hi, just wanted to say I like all the vids & Paul's strikes look very powerful. I've noticed on one of the sparring vids that Paul uses a traditional thai stance where his hands are away from his head. Is this your gyms way of teaching or is this Paul's owns style? Do beginners adopt this style? I've not been training for too long and still a beginner but my gym prefer the Dutch style stance where the hands never leave the head. I know gyms teach different methods & I'm just interested if your gyms prefers the traditional thai guard where it's easier to throw elbows since the hands are away from the face. Cheers
PeteGainz Hi, glad you are finding the vids useful! From experience, each instructor will teach their students different variations on the stance, guard etc but it is more common to find the traditional thai style to have the hands high and away from the head (to favour use of all weapons) whilst styles that put more emphasis on boxing keep the guard tighter to head. There is no right or wrong per se, it just depends on the art and fundamentally how you are fighting or sparring. I hope this helps!
I'm training at kstar in muaythai but I try to pick up tips in muaythai from any of my friends who also train at kstar or any of the fighters at kstar or any other professional who is in kstar or a professional from any other muaythai school
Good work, i like it, powerful fast and good technical shots. What is the hitting guy name? Would like to see some his fights if he have done them. Generally such a teaching videos try to do people who don't understand the thing they are doing or just a little advanced people and they say usually bullshit, but this guy is skilled.
You have great taste, this video is from Paul Karpowicz, one of the best Muay Thai fighters to come out of the UK over the past 10 years. He is crazy skilled, glad you enjoyed it, make sure you google him to find some footage of his fights!!
+SoulTaker1003 you should watch Paul vs Keith McLachlan, absolutely amazing fight! Paul can do some absolutely incredible things with unorthodox techniques, Keith is just so clean and technically proficient too. It's a brutal ending to a great fight, I think those two could fight 100 times and win 50 each
first part, i was like that pad holder was fairly new.. then i got to 2:35 mark and he said 'as long as your pad holders good'.. then smashed out that combination.. i was... yeah he is good. also props to paul but i would expect nothing less really.
Rey Fernandez He has bag boxing gloves. These gloves looks usually smaller than sparring g. having a free thumb - for heavy bag workouts, pad work. For this kind of practice you can use sparring (training) gloves.
I just had my first padwork session last Saturday (facebook.com/video.php?v=10152811011946628&set=vb.753816627&type=2&theater). Hope to get to this level in the near future!
Art Golden Great job! Good work here, love the strong knees, keep up the hard work!! Cool to see the legend that is Coban checking you out in the background!!
Also respect to the pad holder.
FFSultrAslan Pad holders deserve more respect than they usually get!
holding pads right for the other person is the hardest part of beginning Muay Thai for sure
It's crazy how different his pad work style is to his fight style. Great textbook technique on the pads, then when he fights he's so unorthodox. Box of tricks. Warrior collective is a beast channel by the way!

Nice language FMP...
Robert Gibb Agreed ha ha!
***** Ha ha, thanks for your great comment! Paul is operating on a different level with regards to his technique/ability, glad you enjoyed it!
+Robert Gibb FMP?????????????
Leroy Jenkins
Amazing balance with power generated from such a relaxed posture...incredible. Please keep up the awesome work and continue to post often...thank you.
I don't even know how many times I stopped and re watched only to re watch another time in slow mo. Insane.

Yo Paul, love the combos and the fluidity with real movement to create angles. Big up to your pad holder as well!
This was class, the speed and technique of those combos were really good!
Paul is a technician second to none, he makes everything look ridiculously easy!!
Love watching Paul. He's a top bloke, keep up the good work.
Paul is truly one of the most talented athletes/coaches I have ever had the fortune to spend time with! You are not on your own, I could watch Paul all day ha ha!

I like this guy a lot!
I keep watching - really helps me at training !!! Lad on this is a beast 💪🏼🔥👍🏼
Holding pads for him would be a horrible job that looks painful
such clean, fast and powerful shots, damn. it's like a work of art in motion. f*cuk being the pad guy for Paul!
Paul is poetry in motion with his physical ability, Luke has certainly got to be on his toes holding the pads ha ha!!
I'm looking to start Thai. You are definitely a huge inspiration to me.
brilliant video man. my daughter is 9 years old and does muay thai i showed her this video she said wow i want to do that.
Paul is an awesome talent to show anyone for inspiration, it sounds like your daughter has great taste ha ha, tell her to keep training from me!!
Watched all his videos all superb and explains all moves in great detail. My daughter trains 3-4 times a week and loves musy thai. Will keep showing her pauls videos and show that the more you train the better you get.
Wow. Body control, technique, mechanics, insane
Elitist Sport Paul does some crazy stuff and makes it look so easy ha ha
immaculate form. Beautiful
Paul karpowicz is such a good instructor on these tutorials, I would love to be able to have a training session with the guy
Great speed and power, Reminds me of the pad work i used to do with Master Sken & Paul Tite.

What kind of gloves and what size are you using?
Rey Fernandez He has bag boxing gloves. These gloves looks usually smaller than sparring g. having a free thumb - for heavy bag workouts, pad work. For this kind of practice you can use sparring (training) gloves.
Super
Isak Elwin Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Wow!
Fucking hell he is a beast.

Alex Nolan ikr

Monster 😎RESPECT
Beast

Fuck me, that´s really nice. Great job.
2:24 LOL how the fuck did he catch those.
Well that escalated quickly!
Glad you liked it, you can really appreciate just how good Paul is in this video!!
Paul went super saiyan
With that kind of power you can succeed Kim-Jong Un! Damn!
Very similar to Lucien Carbin's style
pukka nice one
wtf did I just watched?.. thats one fast dude!!!!.. well "dudes".. if the padholder misses.. He's sharkmeat.
Gloria Mendez Ha ha, Paul is exceptionally fast and talented! Glad you enjoyed the vid!!
I just had my first padwork session last Saturday (facebook.com/video.php?v=10152811011946628&set=vb.753816627&type=2&theater). Hope to get to this level in the near future!
Art Golden Great job! Good work here, love the strong knees, keep up the hard work!! Cool to see the legend that is Coban checking you out in the background!!
Stuart Tomlinson Thanks! Yeah, I couldn't have planned that better if I wanted to. Talk about luck!!!
Fucking machine
Daniel Dunn ha ha, not the first time I have heard that statement about Paul! Glad you enjoyed it!
ye thx man excellent videos guna sub
Didi the Pad Man looks spaced out at the begining of the Vid,,,LOL
notice how he got tired in a training tutorial. power comes with speed, coordination, accuracy & loads of other things
hes had 3 pro fights and lost them all? Yeah fuck my dream of being good at this shit.
yeah but you cant throw power shots all the time. you will fatigue. Fatigue makes cowards out of everyone.
beautiful technique ! great video ….
