Muay Thai is PAIN. Kru Bunpot was a promising young fighter climbing the ranks of the prestigious stadium circuit in Bangkok, when a knee injury sadly cut short his fight career.
Despite the pain, he couldn’t stay away from the sport he loves. Today, he’s a highly sought after trainer known for his dominant clinch style and a meticulous eye for coaching. You might have also seen him rag dolling Saenchai in a viral training video. This is his story.

  • What is Muay Thai to you? To this master... Muay Thai is PAIN.... Humans of Fighting Documentaries are back! Kru Bunpot was a promising young fighter climbing the ranks of the prestigious stadium circuit in Bangkok, when a knee injury sadly cut short his fight career. Despite the pain, he couldn’t stay away from the sport he loves. Today, he’s a highly sought after trainer known for his dominant clinch style and a meticulous eye for coaching.

  • Yes, Muay Thai is painful. As a mere apprentice who has only been training for just over a year and who has lived a lifetime of painful experiences, I find the intense physicality and mental clarity less painful than being idle and getting beaten up by life.

    • Truth, brother! Haha. I've been a boxer for 20 years and a Muay Thai practitioner for 2 of those years (right around dead center of my boxing career). I love both like my own children, but there's something that appeals to me to building up my pain threshold, and accepting the pain of the fight as a friend. These days, I'm no masochist, but I love testing how much I can take. It's made me realize how strong I am. Boxing taught me how skilled I can be, how I can apply knowledge, speed, strategy. Muay Thai trained me to be a tougher person. Whether it's going into a fight or facing a mundane fear like...I dunno, the dentist, Muay Thai taught me to press on and trust my own strength. Pain is part of the experience, but it doesn't have to destroy me. I take it, learn from it, and respect what it teaches me. ...Like to brush my teeth more consistently. God damn I only have myself to blame. 😅

Then I realized it was mere shyness cuz he wasn't familiar with English. I clearly recall telling Kru pot that he is more than capable of learning English and speaking with his students. Kru pot made me wanna correct my form - be it kicks or knees or teeps... Kru pot is truly precious

  • Had the absolute privilege to have had train with him during his time in Sinbi Muay Thai in Phuket. He's a very friendly person outside of training but quite serious during training. Yes I'm somewhere in that background in the video when he was sparring Saenchai. There is no experience like training Muay Thai the old skool way. Nowadays with better education and sports science, training is arguably better but the hard training of the old traditional way puts steel into your soul. I try not to train like that anymore because my knees are already pretty bad now at 39 hahaha.. Thank you Kru Pot for your teachings and time back then! You probably don't remember me but I'll always remember you with the greatest of admiration.

I run in flat thin flip flops, which helps me strengthen my toes by constantly gripping the sandals or run in thin flat runnings shoes or the 'five fingers' vibram shoes

    • @@adolfosantana8038 I'm a grad student in a medical program, we learned about running biomechanics and we took a deep dive into the research in some of the classes I've had in my studies. Running on the balls of your feet isn't the total answer, as it places a lot more eccentric loads on the muscles of the calf that are otherwise absorbed by the heel pad. Also, if your natural gait patterns favor heel striking more at submaximal stride lengths, forcing yourself to run on the balls of your feet can lead to increased injury risks. The same thing goes for runners who naturally favor running on the balls of their feet being forced to use a gait that includes heel striking. It's a lot more complicated than simply "shoes bad, barefoot good" as well. The pattern of eversion and inversion of the foot as it moves through each stride varies a lot from person to person. Some folks with excessive eversion actually require stiff, corrective footwear in order to avoid gait patterns that vastly increase injury risks, and they would not benefit from barefoot or minimalist footwear. Similarly, people with excessive inversion actually benefit from supportive and cushioning footwear since their gait places their lower extremities in a position where they cannot displace as much impact force. This is independent of whether the runner heel strikes or uses the balls of their feet. And nobody mentions that five fingers shoes chaffe the living shit out of the spaces between each toe.... making them poorly suited to endurance running as well as for the above populations of highly everted and inverted gaits. Everyone tends to move towards a ball of the foot gait as they reach their maximal stride length, but it's thought to be due to the action lengthening the effective stride length more than because of some improved biomechanical efficiency. As previously mentioned, the heel pad passively absorbs impact in a heel striking gait which the calves must actively absorb in a ball of the foot stride, and passive force dissipation is in general more efficient... Lastly, the toe strengthening... this is a pretty crazy misconception. The major muscles associated with flexing and extending the toes are also your prime ankle stabilizers. Unless you are literally wearing an ankle immobilizing cast which completely stops the ankle from moving, your digital flexors and extensors in the leg will still be doing a ton of work. Every time you start to lift your foot off the ground to take a step, your extensor digitorum longus fires to lift your toes off the ground so you don't toe drag. This occurs with or without shoes, in any kind of shoe. Every time you push off of the ground to move forward in a step, your flexor digitorum longus and hallucis fire to flex the toes and stiffen the foot's arch to effectively transfer the force to the ground. They also act together to stabilize the ankle, preventing plantar and dorsiflexion respectively so your ankle doesn't roll over on each step. Again, this action happens with or without shoes. Even if we suppose that someone is wearing a perfectly stiff shoe, the ankle still moves and toes still move within the toebox of the shoe.... but shoes are actually quite flexible to allow the foot to move pretty freely even when the shoe is tied tight. In fact, conventional wisdom would suppose that any added elastic resistance from the shoe's materials would serve to increase the load on the muscles and actually strengthen them over time. After all, moving a shoe with the toes is marginally harder than moving the toes alone. There are of course intrinsic muscles of the foot which may be rendered less active by the use of footwear, but they don't appear to be very active in the course of a running or walking gait and thus I don't think they bear much mention in this context.

We see them as fellow "worker", a sense of kinship is formed and we feel empathy toward one another. you will keep seeing Thai fighter runs toward to opponent's corner to check if they're okay after the fight ALL THE TIME. a hug or a "Whai" (a form of bow) would always be seen, to pay respect and to apologize.

I will say Muay Thai has reawakened my competitive spirit, and I love working with the most advanced students during class, as I feel like I'm always picking up at least one good tip from them every night. I've never done any sort of martial arts or boxing before, so I knew I was going to be terrible at first, but the first night of sparring about 2 weeks in really opened my eyes to just how much work I needed to put in. Everything felt so fast and I was just completely overwhelmed, even though my partners were being very respectful. It just motivated me all that much more to show up to every class I can make it to, and focus 100% on the small details that really matter. And yes, there's been a lot of pain in my first 7 weeks.

    • @@blues05 There are less muay thai fighter nowadays. New generation has more career choice and better education. Back then (also now), almost 99% of the fighters come from poverty, because muay thai is the only thing they can do to earn some money especially in e-sarn part(northeast of thailand) if thay don’t be nak muay, they be a farmer. *Please excuse my English

  • Thank You for spotlighting Kru Bunpot. Even though I don't know him,I can respect his words of wisdom. It is sad his career as a fighter was cut short. I would have loved to see him fight in ONE F.C. maybe I'll watch his students fight.

  • Meeting an ex-Muay Thai fighter in my 20's changed everything for me. He was in his 40's at the time and barely spoke English but right away the training was intense and yes, PAINFUL. I had plenty of other tough training in other styles but not near the amount of contact . Everything else focused on NOT getting hit and this focused being able to TAKE the hits. My legs and shins were wrecked for months . Never took it into the ring but I sure benefited from it and teach what I can to my students . At 57 I can still throw good techniques and my shins stayed pretty well conditioned .

    • Did you have to take kicks to the head? I am currently training with someone very mature. So I don't have to worry about this problem. Just wanted to know if brain damage is something muay thai fighters deal with.

  • I met my wife in a Bando (fighting style is very similar to Muay Thai) class almost 30 years ago I did that, then moved to ring sports for about 5 years, retiring in 2003 as a 40-year-old heavyweight. This guy is dead-on. Training hurts. Competing hurts. Losing hurts more. Once you lose, you either quit or come back on fire. I did the latter. I didn't want to be some "fitness guy" acting cool, with the cool shorts and gear, and doing shadow boxing. I knew how to fight before I ever started Bando, but I stepped through a portal to a different universe when I committed to full contact Lethwei/Muay Thai training. It sharpened my mind and changed me for the better. I know what it is to truly exhaust yourself then go further. I know what it is to be cold then will yourself to being warm. What I could never get over is getting super-hot here in Georgia in August and having your just-came-from-Thailand psycho trainer laugh like "it is a spring day, fat boy, 50 more burpees - and don't puke on my new shoes!" I was "fat boy" as a heavyweight if I was more than 7 pounds over.

I am in love with Muay Thai. I never knew how much I like pain until yesterday we did 100 speed lead kicks on each side into the bag. I can’t wait to train again and again and to learn more about this wonderful art which has taught me so much in such a short time.
