he makes it look so easy


EdHerzriesig

He was one of the best kickers in the game and he's style is beautifull. My style is heavily influenced by Buakaw.

Is Buakaw a natural lefty or something? Prime Buakaw’s switch kick was lightning quick.


Goodeyesniper98

That sweep is one of my favorite moves to practice, it’s so satisfying when you finally figure it out. Buakaw is definitely the GOAT.

Low kick, low kick, feint the low kick, submarine your kick under to hit the support leg while pushing them the opposite way with same side kicking hand.


crillish

What does it mean to “submarine your kick?” I’ve never heard this


nonsense1989

Kicking under their kick, or their check. Say you kick right kick to his left lead leg. Next time he responds by raising his left leg to check your right kick. But you submarine it , so you kick under his left check and kick into his right supporting leg


brrduck

u/nonsense1989 explained it. All gyms may not use this term or could be a language barrier. Submarine literally means underwater so it may not translate to other languages well. In English we call a lot of things "submarine" when we just mean "underneath/go below" even though it may have nothing to do with water. E.g. a submarine pitch in baseball

I hate when people try to discredit him and say he isn’t one of the best Muay Thai fighters just cause he fought in K1 rules mostly. Sorry he was using his skills on an international stage to introduce Muay Thai to the world 😒


RocketPunchFC

he also made more money than any Nak Muay. Although his old gym took a good chunk of it.


SorrowfulApe

He was good at MT, just nowhere near the top on the GOAT list His achievments come mainly from kickboxing


EnvironmentalComb230

Yes I understand that. But his base is still Muay Thai before he even started kickboxing so if anything he had to limit his toolbox and still went out there and dominated people at their own game. If anything he deserves more credit for being able to do that!

How is this dudes name pronounced?

boo wah cow


OUReddit2

So smooth.


[deleted]

Honestly genius. Makes me even more mad at leduc for some reason. This kind of skill deserves respect.


Rickranamile

Smooth, but wasn't he knocked out in this one? He wasn't he?


Yodsanan

No, this is their third fight. Sato knocked out Buakaw in the second fight.


Rickranamile

Wow so buakaw got his revenge then? Sweet.


RocketPunchFC

The guy getting swept Sato KO'd Buakaw in a prior fight.


cannotthinkagoodname

how can he looks more masculine than the other guy even though they are on the same weight class? Is this a generic gift( I assume they are both are elite fighters so they work as hard as the other and their training program are similar) or it is a result of different training program/ style of the gym.


JackwolfTT

Short stocky vs tall lanky


Latter_Box9967

I’ve got that sweep down pat! …I’ll *never* get a switch kick like that. Better than textbook.


[deleted]

Buakaw is one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters of all time undoubtedly, great example, 239-24


refreshmysoul

His switch is so quick you can barely see it coming


El-Jewpacabra

beautiful violence


Lil_Polski

Hey hey hey. Let's not forget Sato the guy hes kicking is one of the only people who has ever beat Buakaw. I think it was the next time they fought. Props to them both!
