his brain makes no hesitation for his decisions, this shows a mastery of fundamentals. you turn your back, he's on you in the minimum amount of reaction time. he just understands the game. very beautiful
Umm.. fighters rarely ever hesitate in the ring, with those that do getting ended early. Even without understanding what's going on, You can easily see that when they incorporate their cornermans instructions between rounds into their performance. This comment doesn't really make any sense. I'm guessing it's because you can't understand what is actually happening in high level matches, and confuse it for hesitation.
@@andrewirrvent337 fighters do hesitate, ive seen high level fighters take WAY too much time to rush down a dazed opponent because they dont see it everyday in training. lerdsila shows a higher understanding when it comes to uncommon situations. whenever i watch fights and break them down, its easy to see openings that the fighter doesnt take advantage of but could have if he was more familiar with that situation and his brain would know how to react in 250 milliseconds (average visual reaction speed). you may not understand what im saying, but it will internalize in you and make more sense one day hopefully. theres mastery like this even in simple tasks, like washing dishes, where your brain speeds up for common situations
@@farleydbear the fact you think fighting is even about reaction shows you don't know what you're talking about. And it's frustrating. The reason fighters struggle to put away their man is because a hurt fighter is still a fighter. Theyre just hard to hit, and still dangerous. You can see in many fights some guy winging away, failing to do any damage, and even in some cases getting hurt or dropped themselves. Finishing high level opponents Is hard. And fighters are always "full of openings that you could easily exploit in fractions of a second if you had a time stop ability". But no one sees in slow motion, even this guy. There's a reason fighters use "traps", that's programming expectations and patterns of behaviour into their opponents. It's because no one is superman. Your reaction time doesn't magically get faster. All's you can do is increase your ability to recognise and exploit patterns of behaviour(confusingly called "timing" by insiders, leaving laypeople such as yourself in perpetual miss understanding), and work on your angles and positioning to make that task easier. The reason this guy looks like superman to uninitiated, is because he's fighting cab drivers, outclassed opponents. Any high level fighter will look like he's achieved enlightenment, or whatever nonsense tma fans go on about, if they're punching waY below their class. All's you are seeing in the video is an outclassing... /watch?v=3fNvli9zFS4 /watch?v=STdHyZ3lNXQ They all look the same, no matter the level
@@andrewirrvent337 "All's you can do is increase your ability to recognise and exploit patterns of behaviour" Glad we're on the exact same page then. but we can keep the argument going though if you would like, its entertainment
@@farleydbear sure, why not lol. Although I'm not sure where we go from here. The last reply that had any content to dissect or tear to pieces was mine
His sense of distance and timing is like a cheat code. He's just always in the right position.
Tony Jaa using cheats lol !
@@cut-- well Tony jaa don't fight in the ring....he fight in movies only..if movie even a 90 yr old kungfu master can evade bullet....ya know what I mean right?
Yeah report the guy use scripts jajaja
Auto-aim mode
Nah alphas don't cheat they just do
The greatest weapon of this man is his mind. Every attack is set up, every defense is from keen observation of the opponent's distance and positionning. In 47 years of martial arts, this is one if not the most impressive fighter I have ever seen. Truly something to behold. A master class in fighting.
This is false as Lex Luther was defeated
@@Conqueefstador A defeat doesn't make it false. It means somebody (like Varga did) managed to defeat him despite his exceptional qualities, because other fighters have qualities too and no human being is perfect, invincible or unfailing.
Its his fucking awareness. Positioning, balance, distance. All together, insane, unless fighting someone stronger or faster.
That's why Dr. Stephen Hawking was a MMA lightweight champ, right?
@@showproja So you have no clue what we are talking about. Gotcha.
I've legit, never seen anyone throw a connecting kick that quick. That's literally the definition of 'blink and you'll miss it'. Good lord!
He baits people in and knows what they're about to throw based on the bait he gave em. Brilliant, absolutely amazing.
Guy taught lee the same thing in naruto. You can tell how much the creator loved martial arts and those who strived to be the best.
Hes a master baiter
@@maytalreuben6922 you beat me to the punch on that lol
Like a versus fighting game
Well atleist someone's smart enough to get it. All these other wackos going on about chi magic wushu hidden temple Bruce Lee fantasy crap.
My favorite part of how these guys were trained is how they clinch. They don't hug, they don't catch their breath. They HURL your ass across the ring. Not something you'd expect in a clinch. This guy blows my mind every single time I watch him.
True, but you also can't just hang out there as you can in boxing since you have to worry about knees that can drop you if you arent active
Yeah people who aren't educated on MT or may be new to or getting into it don't realize just how good the grappling in MT is. When I started I surely learned it the hard way. They are world class grapplers that are MUCH stronger than their size indicates with crazy balance.
That knee-uppercut at the end.. That kind of "full body" thinking and split-second timing. And it was super effective too. Total pro
I'm only 0:56 into this video and I can already assert that he is one of the "truist" martial artists that I've seen in the ring! His speed and reaction time are already legendary, but what makes him truly gifted (in my opinion) is his ability to perceive the combat scenario at such an incredibly faster rate than any opponent that I've seen him face. His level of control and "patience" are a byproduct of his ability to read and process data far faster than his opposition; This is confirmed/evident by his efficiency of motion and energy. MMA fighters are rigorously trained to always move toward any advantage/opening while attacking in order to be positioned to capitalize. That style of mental and physical conditioning allows a fighter to rely on muscle memory/ingrained behavior even while exhausted; herein lies the true difference between a fighter and a martial artist! A martial artist (in the way that I perceive it) is a person that has devoted their life to a discipline/ideology that is far greater than combat. The physical training was instilled/internalized as a tool, not a weapon. This tool's purpose is not to gain combat mastery over their fellow man, but rather to gain mastery over ones self. The point of what I am truly attempting to convey is this: speed, technique, range, muscle and nerve have nothing to do with this individuals style; he is fighting opponents that are attempting to prove to themselves/the world that they deserve to be in the ring. He is fighting to show the world that the principals of a sound mind and body outweigh all pride and material.
Repent to Jesus Christ!
I don't think my computer can process data faster than this guy.
@Davy Your sins! You will be held accountable for your sins on the day of judgement!
@@soylavro Repent to Jesus Christ!
@@jesusislord6545 you know as a Christian telling others what to do normally pushes them away. In order to lead others to the Lord it must be an invitation. Please don't make the rest of us look bad by coming on to others in this manner. It is childish.
I absolutely love watching Lerdsilla fight. And he said in interview that he doesn't know where 100-0 came from it is more like 60-0
Still a ridiculous number 😂
He losed 32 games out of 220, and there only was two lossing streaks of 2. He was never more than 30-0 as far as i know
@@AstBun1 he said it is around 60-0 and many fights were in china
I absolutely loved watching Varga soundly defeat him.
@@chrislongstaff1863 who cares?
I feel like his inner voice is just constantly telling him kick this person in the face. His real skill is how many people he didn't kick in the face.
yes
I'm dumber now, thanks
Chuck norris... Is lerdsila
@@matthewstowers1906 why? Didn’t you get your brain cells kick out of you?
the people he DIDN'T kick in the face feel cheated =/
Mind boggling skill, speed, and power! His kicks are faster than other’s jabs!
First time seeing this style of fighting. Very fascinating. Good breakdown. They were moving too fast for me to tell any strategy but when you break it down slowly with the graphics, it's pure genius. Good job.
"Thank you for continuing to watch striking breakdowns". You kidding? Thank you for keeping those excellent videos coming!
Couldn't agree more!
❤️❤️
Shame that his fights really only came into the eyes of the public eyes in his later years towards the end of his phenomenal career
Luckily we have Lawrence the necromancer
what public eye u talkin about... here in thailand and malaysia... lerdsila always have great reputation since he come out....
@@CriticalDesired we in usa bietch
@@CriticalDesired you only really heard about saenchai and buakaw hype-level guys in North America. I'm sure in Thailand theres a better grasp of the genuinely amazing but less hyped fighters out there
@@loganmyall660 yup
Jesus, this guy was a genius. It often feels like the best fighters are also very intelligent and adaptable.
I have seen his interview. He said he enters the ring not to beat the opponent but to have fun. Man he moves like water and strikes like ice. So calm and composed
Wow he catches them on the upbeat when they’re resetting makes it look so effortless
Nothing unusual in that..thats what everyone i know tries doing ? Joe calzaghe vs Jeff lacey is a masterclass in that amd hitting angles..lomachenko??
Reset? Pretty sure they were all falling from him setting them off balance
This is what I call a true martial arts knows what they’re doing. Unlike UFC fighters ( wrestling) desperate to take opponent down just to get points.
Hmmm, I really question how well these Fighters would do in America
@@ToneysReviews it depends, striking only i.e boxing/kickboxing? Or full mma? I think this guy would have been a top 10 fighter in his weight class if he trained a bit of grappling. Very entertaining fighter.
All his moves and techniques are so efficient. No unnecessary movement and also using his smallest movement to dodge. The amount of his training is insane.
He honestly looks bored in most of his fights. He's definitely the main character.
Lmao
💀
Its the confidence gene. I have sparred a few times and I can at least say that I feel a difference in my body as I fight in the ring in that it is more tense and does not wanna get hurt and it make me slower and less quick in my reflexes. I see this guy and Ali look as though their bodies do not have the same fear of getting hit. And as such, they seem more relaxed and confident in NOT getting hit.
They realize they are going to get hit no matter what and they are ok with it. Most people cant do this.
Also Prince Naseem. The dude got overconfident and didn't prepare like usual and he got hit by Barrera and quit boxing
I had that tension in my first few fights in the ring doing Thai boxing/gung fu. I was exhausted after one round because I was fighting my own body. In one fight I couldn't lift my leg above my hips to kick properly. It's a weird feeling.
Great point.
Humans are flight animals when permitted.
That old Japanese man didn't say "Godzilla" in the movie. It is now obvious that he said "Lordsila"
He probably said Gojira.
Gabriel Varga was able to defeat Lerdsila!
Yes he did,varga won all the rounds but with k1 rules..i wish they would figth one's more with Muay Thai rules..i Think it would end with the same result but who knows,,
@@HeathenRides not with Muay Thai rules. knees and elbows and points awarded with more kicks and also jumping on your opponent will him the edge me thinks.
Lord Sila, makes sense since Sila is a mythical creature of the sea
He's got a whole new higher level style of his own. So enjoyable to watch.
His style is similar to the only known footage of Bruce Lee fighting at a karate tournament, no wasted movements, no bobbing and weaving, dancing around, just pure economy of motion and tons of swagger.
I can see that for sure, good call.
Thought of Bruce Lee right away seeing this guy. He's got great technique and focus.
except that lees fight is an exhibition match and almost staged?
I say his style is more similar to saenchai
his head dodges reminded me of a young Muhammad Ali
That was an incredible breakdown, I couldn't fully appreciate (or see) his moves until you slowmod the moves. Incredible fighter. Would love to see more fight segments from fighters of this calibre. Thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!Thanks so much for watching
This guy is so natural and instinctual he likely doesnt know what hes doing himself. Reactive of nuances and body language most people dont even recognise. Absolutely incredible
I've had brief moments of that, but not an entire fighting career. He's on some other level.
💯
At his level it's beyond just body language, oftentimes he probably actually knows what his opponents are going to do before they do
Yup, muscle memory 👍
@@reasonableguy9090 That's only a part of it. He also has great reflexes, timing, and fighting instincts.
Omg this guy is insane, I love him. He's so relaxed in his fights with unreal reflexes!!
Thanks! Good stuff, first I've ever seen here, sub deserved.
Thanks for the upload.
More like Lordzilla
Yesss
Indeed
so flexible in the hips,his upperbody is very still when he kicks, no tell at all . Amazing! :-)
Yep. That's the difference. Per Mr. Miagi ... "Everything in life is better with balance."
yep, he didnt give hints
If you were to study muai tai this is the guy you would want as your master.
That was a thorough and accurate breakdown. Superb video.
Wonderfully done, mate.
Lerdsila throws kicks like he's cracking a whip. His legs look like rubber in slo-mo.
His question mark kicks are so fast I can’t even see it especially the one at 1:10.
Agree. I didn’t notice it until the Slow-motion was shown. Amazing fast!
1:44 is ridiculous 😳😳
@@austina96 his leg is like a whip. So fast, yet very flexible and super accurate.
My dude u got a new subscriber ty for a good quality sports media
Thank you, sir for your excellent work
That question mark kick is so crazy. Great breakdowns as always.
I’ve had the privilege to train with him and the guy is an absolute beast! Would love a break down of Rick and Duke Roufus!
The breakdown explanation was excellent.
Those high kick knockouts and the knee are some of the best out there! Greetings, Jeff
These setups are absolutely brilliant!! What a master tactician!
As usual, the most interesting explanations and techniques breakdowns from sir Kenshin. Well done. Please keep up your extraordinary videos on the subject. You are a true expert and thanks to you, the memory of that martial art is and will remain intact. Have a great 2021 ☺️
❤️❤️
Really enjoyed that👍🏻👍🏻
Don't forget the recovery from these kicks. He instantly twists his leg back to normal position and spins his hip back to the forward facing.
He needs either his own anime or live-action movie.
Hes just a master at the art. His style is so unique and entertaining on both ends
3:46 Extreme demonstration of the golden rule "never turn your back on the enemy".
Superior content here, you always have us wanting more.
Great video as usual. Would love to see a video on Oley or Watcharachai (the man who beat Lerdsila twice)
1:37 is Saenchai !
"jocky gym stable mates have made legendary" example of..
You have a eagle eyes dude 😂👍
Lol
Yeah was about to say the same thing. Thought my eyes were playing up on me
I say it every time I watch one of your videos, BEST STRIKING BREAKDOWNS out there. Thank you sir.
Thank you so much it means so much to us!
Great video. Very educational.
0:26 might be the fastest high kick I've ever seen.
Have you ever watched Mirko Crocop
i made a comment on this video i think you might appreciate so here it is. the kick at 0:26 took only 7 frames from takeoff to landing. this video runs at 24 fps so that translates to the kick being thrown in only 291ms from beginning to end. the average human reaction time is 250ms the blink of an eye is 150ms and this man threw a head kick knockout covering at least 6ft in 291ms. let the magnitude of that feat sink in
@@StrengthScholar0 His opponent certainly let the magnitide of Lerdsilla's feet sink in.
@@Seki1987 , yes I watched him, he was heavyweight so obviously not as fast as lerdjila
@@999titu not as fast? There is a video on youtube of a breakdown of his technique. The best high kick in the history. Period.
3:51 is incredible. What body control!!
Holy beans Cisco! I had to rewind several times as I did not know there would be slow mo later on. WOW!
So enjoyable watching the mind and body of a dedicated champion.
Beerus: "Whis." Whis: "Yes?" Beerus: "Lerdsila has finally reached it hasn't he?" Whis: "Yes." Beerus: "What an unbelievable guy"
Cringe weeb
@@masa5300 naw this was based
@@masa5300 pretty sure your pfp is from a manga
His reflexes are gods gift
No, just insane training
@@DiegoBR there are many fighters who train hard and don’t have his ability to time their opponent like him.
Great vid as always. More Lerdsila would be good.
Love that low kick that turns into a roundhouse to the head. I used to use that effectively after a front kick to the midsection or a roundhouse to the floating ribs that the opponent really feels, they will usually flinch when you threaten the next one. That often opens them up nicely to the fake. If you can pull it of, that is.
A true artist of his discipline.
Song name at beginning please. Great video and compilation thank you
Excellent drills. Very good play!
Waouh Fantastic THE PERFECT TIMING is the key, Thank for this Super Vidéo 🙏🙏🙏
Another good breakdown. I am curious what kind of mentality makes lerdsila the fighter he is. I know in a previous video he says that he doesn't really care about winning or losing and just wants to have fun.
He actually looks so calm and confident like he knows exactly what and when is coming
But losing isn't fun. But hence he wins anyway, he is in just for fun :) Impressive fighter...
Look how calm and relaxed he is in the fights. That’s pure confidence and focus. Calm, relaxed, confident and focused equals really fucking dangerous. He made his opponents look like fools.
He is literally JUST having FUN, the same way a 20 year old would play fight with a 5 year old... NO effort involved !
Brilliant breakdown!
There were times in the footage he totally reminded me of Bolo Yeung, that"confidence gene" that gutz1981 speaks about is what i noticed. Bolo had that gene indeed! Good description Gutz!
The relaxed slow turn-walk away got punished HARD.
3:40 blocking the hips to prevent the low kicks is insane brilliant.
Epic breakdown!
Bro I appreciate you breaking this down step by step lerdzilla is a legend and I hope to be like him one day in the future
Let’s get this man to 1 million subscribers.
Amen to that, he is a true expert on the subject and should deserve the right to publish all of his gems into one great encyclopedia of muay thai!!
Putting the hand in the eyes is more than just to blind it is also to guard your chin so you dont get a jab mid kick
no matter how many times he gets analyzed this never gets old.
Totally amazed!
He fights like a video game character..insane 😂😂
I honestly believe this is the result of someone who knows his worth. I swear u do amazing things when u believe in yourself and u don't constantly rate yourself with others.
His reflexes and sense of distance are absolutely magical.
this gentleman is an example of hard work, and dedication..i must learn to fight like that.
He’s just a dude that’s tactically superior in a fight. He probably approaches a match like a game of chess; observes the position, calculates odds and executes moves based on what he’s observing.
No he probably is just one of those people naturally good, like some people smart, some people just good in a fight, like yes practice is good, but sometimes you need some natural sense
@Richard Ramsawh yeah, quick little sumbitch ain’t he? 🤔
Or he just loves to kick ass😁
Don't equate chess into this...lol loser
@@albertreign I’ll do what I like, knob gobbler.
Hey Lawrence can u do a breakdown on Valentina shevchenkos striking in mma how she mix her tkd background with muay Thai and mma adjustments?? Thanks for great content
learned a lot, thanks
What I appreciate as I look at his fight style is that it is not aggression it is complete control of the ring and he is already backing off after knocking the opponent down before the ref can get to his side. It's poetry in motion and just simply screams perfection.
This guy really is like water adapting to any situation in matters of seconds and turning it into his favour.
Bad analogy. Water always runs at the first chance.
@@showproja well actually 🤓☝️
@@showproja bruce would like a word.
Great video! Anyone know the song at 0:34? Makes me want to workout
Thorr - Endless
Great video and great fighter with extraordinary core strenght
True !
Beautiful Question Mark! First time i saw that was 50 years ago in Way of the Dragon.
His fight iq is on a supernatural level
He also uses momentum to his advantage.
@Great White panic shells and panic strikes.. he's mastered the art of ring psychology. He's literally puppeteering skilled opponents 😳
1👀% Awesome breakdown. 💛 the detailed, strike-by-strike dissection.
Impressive. This guy can quickly see his opponents attacks, dodge and counter strike before the attack is even finished. What a gift combined with excellent striking skills.

Reminds me of Bossk...

Me too. Definitely the most graceful fighter to ever step in a ring.
Same here , and you can see the man is really having FUN there , for real. He enjoys it.
His left leg kicks are crazy! Knockout power & flexibility on his left side...he was made for this.
The Man is AMAZING !! The question mark kick is the most jaw dropping move I think I have ever seen, Love it !!!
Bas Ruttan used it when he used to fight, it was really effective for him as well. Also the liver kick.
Thai people call him PLALAI SAI SKATE. , excellent fighting technique , fast movement , quick attack ,but light attack power. , He has been recognized as one of the most famous Thai boxers in Thailand
Is he better than buakaw promok?

I love all form of fighting for the science of it and the psychological association that comes with it it's almost like playing a game of chess you can set your opponents up without them even knowing.
