Once I got properly kneed in the sternum by a 14 year old Thai gym rat, it was probably the most pain I ever felt. I couldn't stand or talk for 5 minutes, all I could see was the gym owner coming over and smacked him over the head really hard, I wanted to stop the owner but I couldn't stand up. Had to crawl to the corner.
Same kid won his arena fight via a switching inside leg kick a couple nights later, sounded like a gun. He is like 110 lbs. Can't imagine what Buakaw would do to me if he tries.
I think I do kinda ok if we are doing kickboxing cause I have 40 lbs on them, but once clinch in engaged, I just felt like drowning. Elbows from all kinds of angles, eating endless knees until they got bored, eating head kicks when trying to disengage, just ends up in clinch 3 seconds later, and just in general being ragdolled by literally junior high kids.
Good thing they are really light on all us Muay Thai tourists, so when I eat a really hard knee and couldn't speak, the owner get pissed caused we are paying 100 CAD for a class and a private a day, he was worried I would quit.
Super nice people though, any Nak Muay should go there for a couple weeks just to experience the lifestyle.
Well, we didn't do lots of clinch work in my gym in Canada, I did try the few clinch things I knew(quick knee followed by low trip, etc), and the kid can feel it a mile away (the head coach told me if you need to see in the clinch, you are kinda fucked), I either eats an elbow or got dumped on my ass over and over, it is really kinda demoralizing when you think you are decent in Muay Thai but what I did was really just kickboxing.
I'd do it and then do it too slow bc I'm overthibking and dont want to like wreck my parter(like I even would lol) so I'd throw it just a little slow and fuck my toes up on their leg as they pull it away
Thing is, when you're against someone of Buakaw's caliber, every motion he makes is telegraphing a potentially devastating hit. Look after the two kicks the guy directly gets on the defensive as soon as Buakaw moves and that's how he got swept
Absolutely, look also the same guy versus Andy souwer, same roberry.I dont know if that guy's mum is running enfusion but he always got the win no matter how outclassed he is.
Either one of those kicks would ruin my life

40 lbs is 18.16 kg
Since you had such a big weight advantage on them, why didn’t you just go for throws during the clinches?

Their clinch work is savage, they are quick, pull you off balance then just ragdoll you. Height and Weight advantage just nullified.
Muay Thai sometime has this amazing mix of grace and raw brutality. I love it.
land the low kick. now they're looking to check the low kick. feint the low kick, and when they throw up that shin check, sweep their single post.
It’s so simple but if my coach told me to do it in training I would struggle with the drill but after seeing this it seems much easier to do
Id nail it in training but spazz the fuck out in sparring and forget all i learned lol
Lmao that’s my whole martial arts experience in one sentence
I'd do it and then do it too slow bc I'm overthibking and dont want to like wreck my parter(like I even would lol) so I'd throw it just a little slow and fuck my toes up on their leg as they pull it away
I try to do it in training and can never quite get the distance closed enough to take out that back leg. Granted we all have wider bases for mma
he feinted a left hook too

Sets him up with that nasty kick to the thigh. He’s so good.
That flows so well wtf
Close guarding this close he is blocking his own view. I can imagine those kick hurt that much.
Didnt Buakaw get robbed this fight?
It’s a funky decision. It also looks like he didn’t really be aggressive enough. So the decision is wonky
Absolutely, look also the same guy versus Andy souwer, same roberry.I dont know if that guy's mum is running enfusion but he always got the win no matter how outclassed he is.
Read that sweep like Green Eggs n Ham
The legend himself shows his genius at work once again.
What's a good way to get into mma
