  • Thai Boxing vs Karate started in 1963, when Kyokushin co-founder Kenji Kurosaki got knocked out by a Muay Thai fighter in Thailand (Bangkok) at Lumpinee Stadium. This sparked the Japanese invention of Kickboxing. As a result, the feud between Karate and Muay Thai escalated. In today's video I aim to end the rivalry by fighting Petch Aek Sitjaopho (Poonnasit Kambung). Enjoy! :)

    What catches me the most about this video is how humble you are. I've practiced BJJ, Krav Maga, and now Muay Thai, and with each, you find the same, the ego, the pride, and the inability to learn from your opponent, especially in defeat. You, kind Sir, embody the spirit of Martial Arts. It was a pleasure to watch.

He had the look of a man who had been forced to fight many times in his life when enjoyment of the art meant nothing when his life may have been at stake to beat the odds. Muay Thai is a beautiful, deadly art that is an iconic representation of the Thai people but it also carries a thinly veiled darker side.

  • @dacoup5955
    @dacoup5955 Před rokem +26

    One of the biggest problems with most martial arts that take a lateral stance such as karate, boxing and taekwondo for example is how the lead leg remains extended at all times, Muay Thai has an advantage over such methods because while taking such a wide stance does allow you to generate more power when throwing from the hip (especially when you sit on your punches) doing so unfortunately comes at a cost when you're in front of a competent muay thai practitioner, in a lateral stance it leaves your lead leg constantly out there open to inside and outside leg kicks because all your weight is being distributed down the center of your body, in muay thai we stand with our shoulders square horizontally and the lead foot is not being placed more than a foot away from the back leg where all the weight is centered i'd say 80 percent of your weight is moved to the back leg, you can see how the muay thai champ can keep his front leg raised because of it quite a lot because of this which allows him to use his front leg like a jamming stick to keep the distance between you any time he feels you're going to close the distance, this is something muay thai truly excels at and probably one of the most effective aspects of the art itself which imo is revolutionary ... the bouncing of the lead leg up and down also acts as a sort of spring which provides quicker reaction time when you need to check leg kicks or deliver a strong front leg teep (muay thai equivalent of a front push kick), you can also generate huge momentum when you eventually plant the front foot to deliver a back leg round house or are devastating knee when your opponent is coming in for an attack.

    Fun Fact about weird dance/ritual before fighting: It's called ram muay or wai khru.
    The wai is a traditional Thai greeting with the palms together as a sign of respect. Khru is the Thai word means 'teacher'. Ram is the Thai word for dancing in classical style, and muay means 'boxing'. The full term can therefore be translated as 'war-dance saluting the teacher', but Thai speakers generally shorten it either to wai khru or ram muay. The ram muay shows respect and gratitude to the boxer's teacher, parents, and ancestors. In the old days when boxers fought in front of the royalty, the ram muay also paid respect to the king.
    Upon entering the ring, fighters circle the ring in a counter-clockwise direction and pray at each corner. They bow their heads at every corner three times in salutation to Buddha, Dharma, and the sangha of monks. They then commence the ram muay, the movements of which are said to be based on Hanuman(The india super monke). The ram muay is a personal ritual, ranging from the very complex to the very simple, and often contains clues about who trained the fighter and where the fighter is from. The ram muay is accompanied by music, providing a rhythm to the boxer's movements.
    Btw, muay thai was a traditional martial arts.

      There is historical evidence that chinese where influensed by indian martial arts that went through the Himalaya (including white crane qigong "dayan" which went through Himalaya and influenced kung fu, long boxing, taiji).

My partner and I went back and forth doing 4 for 4 and I landed a few clean strikes and got a little cocky and stepped up the intensity.

    Hi Jesse, the “OO WEEH” sounds are typical of Thai fighters during sparring. Those sounds are meant to prevent a tense atmosphere and keep the sparring relaxed and relatively light. So when you hit your opponent, or when you get hit, you make an “OWAY” sound to show your opponent your not getting emotional or anything.

    Great video.
    I have trained with him and his twin brother in Thailand Hua Hin and in Sweden.
    Both are extremly humble and friendly but real killers when its time to fight.
    They have such an amazing control over their techniques so him and his twin ( their nicknames are "F" & "O") would actually spar for hours without shin protection and they would never injure eachother.
    Masters of the sport.

    His advice to relax when sparring was a pointer to the moment you kicked his head. He was relaxed and you were anxious and stressed and that led to the kick landing. Probably he felt it and instinct took over. He again regained co.poaure when he laughed at the clinch.

      It's about a familiar or tribal mentality. At least it SHOULD be. You want to BUILD UP fighters/warriors but not to destroy them. That's not the goal of sparring and training. There should be no place for "only ego".
      For sparring lessons and training fights a wise guy once said to me:

    I went to Thailand with a friend who has many years of practicing boxing/kickboxing/muaythai (I only knew grappling). My friend payed for private lessons with a former champ. I was filming so that my friend could look at his technique afterwards. I was shocked. My friend is 90kg, extremely strong, agile and fast, a monster of a man, but this taiguy who weighed like 60-65kg just dominated my friend when they did some sparring. I could not believe it. It was like a giant was toying with a child. Over and over my friend got tricked, with feigns, unreal timing, trips that put my friend on the ground so the whole floor shock. It was like watching neo from the matrix.

      That's what sets champs and high level pros aside from the rest of us mortals. What they may lack in power (and maybe even technique) they'll compensate with fighting IQ, muscle memory, speed, timing and toughness. Thais specially, since they can rack hundreds of bouts in a career.
      Always respect them, even if you have 20 years of sparring under your belt. If you want to have any chance to beat them, you better be a pro or a champ too.

      Exactly i ditched my karate acting classes when i got man handled by a Muay Thai amateur who was just 6 months into his training, it was so embarrassing for me especially being a brown belt and training for years on end to master my art. Karate definitely has couple of good things to borrow from, but on it's own the modern karate is the least effective form of martial art. Also being black belt in karate is essentially ensuring your bragging rights and scaring away people who know nothing about fighting. Very few martial arts take into consideration how vicious people are in real streets fights, muay thai & Brazilian Ju Jitsu are one of them. In real world situations you would be knocked tf out before you are even done bragging about your black belt. I have been training in muay thai for last 8 months, and i feel it's too practical and deadly already, i can deal far more fatal damage to my opponents, karate seems like circus show in comparison.

      @@Tate525 I have to disagree with you on some of your points. Karate if practiced correctly is really effective. It's significant striking can be deadly and it contains hits with every part of your body ( hands, knees, legs, elbows ) + it has some grappling and takedowns. Unfortunately modern Karate fights have very limited contact witch Indeed gives a Karate fighter a great disadvantage in a really situation because he isn't used in full contact hits ( neither giving them nor taking them). Muay Thai on the other hand still remains a very tough sport and it's athletes are generally much more prepared for a real situation. Overall I personally don't think any of these martial arts is superior, the outcome of a figth depends on the figthers and not the superiority of one's style over another's.

    The dance/ritual done in Muay Thai is called a Wai Khru. Traditionally, it was to show respect to the four directions, the ancestors, the Muay Thai master, and the opponent, and the final move of the dance was emulating a shovel digging a grave to show they were ready to die. The Modern form was created in 1941, with essentially the same emanings.
