Dany v Sangtien Noi is one of my most favorite fights.
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
And they never sparred hard. They always sparred light and technical. That's why they became so good and great.
What I took away from Danny by learning from videos. Was sweeping the legs out as I can't kick high and his block the straight and turn them out. I learned this from his fight against Ramon Dekka. Ramon threw the right Danny cross cover parried with his right simultaneously reaching his left arm straight through hooking Ramons neck. Then as soon as the right landed Danny came over with his right pivot on his left foot. Swung his rear leg around momentarily moving Ramon into his right knee. It's a sweet move and can pull it rather easily. His cadence was spectacular he just knew when to throw. Picking shots from out of the air. His hips are so very flexible too.
Golden era, was just amazing, im glad i seen it and trained in it !@!!
I literally became emotional when I saw the beauty of his defense on the spinning elbow. I feel privileged to have witnessed it.
THE MAN WHO MADE ME BELIEVE I COULD DO MUAY THAI!!! My dad used to send me VHS Tapes of his fights when he was stationed overseas! AWESOME VIDEO!
What did you think when you first met Dany? Wife: He swept me off my feet
classic my brother!
Niiice
Freakin' epic joke. That's a 10 from me.
His feints, his head movement and his kicks all look like they gave inspiration to our modern fighters like Israel adesanya, thank you for posting this video, great content!
training with him during 2002 and 2003, i became a better nakmuay. he's unbelievable. Sparring with him made you a lot better cause in order to survive (lol) you got to think during the sparring session but on your way to home, in your bed etc... "i gotta find something in order to not get beaten like before..." he taught me by destroying me and sometimes giving some "tricks"... after sparring with him and other french champs (like Biga, Saban, M'baye, Konaté...), you fear nobody.
@Daniel Isnicht lying? Did you know my thoughts then? With all the beating i got by sparring with the best and some of the best nakmuays in France then, why would I fear any fighter? I never said I'm invincible or kind of bs like that...
@@hataillon hes trolling you, youtube the names mentioned above, you'll have a laugh 😉
My favorite fighter. He have everything. I remembered in France, Saint Ouen, when i saw him at muy thai training. Many years before, i heard about him “he makes money in thailand, fight with many thai, many times”. Around Paris, poor cities, we proud of him. Sorry for my english, i am french haha.
Requesting a full 1 hour documentary about Jocky Gym Do a Kickstarter, you’ll secure the necessary funds in no time 😌
I would donate to this as well.
one of the greatest idea ive ever seen
i think the same
Sign me up.lol
I don't even know who they are but I want more
3:55 i've never seen any thing similar to this ever in my life..and i've been training for 20 years.
As a cameroonian fighter you guys have no idea how inspirational it was to see that one of the legends (which I'm still blown away by) was indeed Cameroonian. I only found out about him a few years ago and his skill is so damn beautiful. Gives me chills , and makes me so honored to be able to watch these clips
Yes no.1 farang muaythai Respect Dany Bill I'm Thai
cheers
Oops, technically he is a foreigner but not "farang" (white european descendant).
@@nattkullav8657 so you’re going to tell a Thai how to use his language? Goof.
@@nattkullav8657 dont be a clown trying to tell a Thai how to speak his language you look stupid. Lmao
His name is Thai lettering so your the stupid one really really -
Never knew about Danny Bill till now. Thank you Kenshin for shedding light on this man that truly deserves it. Your knowledge, insight and appreciation of the world of fighting is truly, for lack of a better word, “appreciated” by us. Great work
One of the few foreign fighters I enjoy watching for his style and grace. It's rare to see someone standing toe-to-toe with a veteran Thai fighter from Thailand, but it's so much more rare to find someone doing it with as much style, finesse, and beautiful technique as a Thai fighter from Thailand. Thanks, LK for putting up content about him before - always skimmed his matches in the past and never knew how great he truly was.
I love this channel. I get to discover and learn about many unsung fighters as well as the art of muay thai. Thanks Lawrence!
Glad you enjoy it!
Dany Bill one of my all time pound for pound favorites of the golden era among Coban, Dekkers! Thank you for giving him the spotlight he deserves for these newer fans.
Extremely outstanding. He just one of a kind.
Master Dany's timing was impeccable, his ability to slip and sweep were second to none. Im glad Lawrence has blessed us with a video covering this phantom of muay thai
he is absolutly iconic...i wish to have at least half of his skill and everything in my training...amazing fighter
Dany Bill has forever been the GOAT Foreigner for me. Dekkers wasn't on this dudes level at all. Thing with Dany is he fought LIKE a Thai but had the build of the foreigners which was usually stronger and bigger in a sense. Bill was a phenom with reflexes and eyes such as Oley and Somrak - not as sharp as them imo, but close. A shame he never kept himself in shape - would have loved to see some exhibition fights when he got older like many of the older Thai's do.
cheers for the thoughtful comment
After whooping that many people you get bored
Badass.
Dany is the Ali and Ramon ls the Tyson of Muay Thai.
Charlie zelenoff is the Goat he is like 500-0
my personal GOAT, literally get giddy when I watch his fights, FLAWLESS technique, so freaking clever
Oh. Thanks so much for showcasing this legend. Pure style! 🙏
Muay Thai at this level is a beauty to behold.
Maaaaan, that bloke was indeed impressive. I cannot believe I had never heard of him. Thanks for brining him up!!!
Unbelievable MT masterpieces. Often after watching many of your videos I'm sad. Because of so many martial arts technics disappear. Old school combats in MT, K1, mixfight promotions are full of striking and grappling technics you cannot see today. We are lucky that some of them catched on camera. Thank you for making this video! Much appreciated!
thank you for your thoughtful comment brother
Yeah many great fights but no records. 😢
The composure, the reaction time and the balance in my opinion makes of Danny Bill one of the best Muay Thai fighters ever. Top 10 of all time in my opinion. Good video too, nice tribute! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I loved hearing the emotion in your voice narrating Dany’s story!
I've never even seen him in other highlight videos. Thank you for continuing to educate us, brother. As always from the best muay thai channel!
Lawrence your coverage of these legends accompanied with this soulful music makes me wanna cry tears of joy !! Love you man !
Dany is absolutely INCREDIBLE. He is a major influence upon me as a Afrikan American kid looking for guys like Dany and Sugarfoot and Washington and The Master Blaster to inspire me in a sport that isn't particularly embracing of people like me. I looove his sweeps. I love foot sweeps and sweep kicks.
Refreshing & not a boring to watch fighter. Technical awesomeness. His way of fighting breathes in new life to the art & sport. Thank You so much for showing this. 💥🥊🦶🏾
He was one of my favourite fighters. Thanks for uploading this video! 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Dude those read kicks into a sweep he is a monster brutal low kicks, there is a quote from kaichi’s disciple the anime “ if you master the low kick you master the world” that has stuck with me and taught me well.
interesting line!
Its Kenichi- Mightiest Disciple, I remember that line too
@@congabonga7104 yeah oops
You know someone’s legit good, when Lawrence Kenshin calls the dude a Savant and puts him as the greatest striker in Muay Thai history.
What’s a savant
@@brysontheghostgaming9218 not you, apparently
@@tojiroh none of us here, thats for sure
I can't believe I never had heard about this guy! Powerful, decisive, good angles, faints, elite reaction time, and some of the best sweeps I've seen from any striker.
Thank you for introducing me to this *LEGEND* !
This was great as always.. and thanks for letting us know about the seminars
Dany bill seriously doesn't get the credit he deserves. Great video mate thank you very much for your work.
thanks for the docu/breakdown. really helps a semi-layperson appreciate the artistry behind the chaos. amazing :)
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Thank you for posting this video and shedding light on a fighter I hadn't known of.
Glad to help and thank you for watching
Thank you so much for this documentary and great analysis. Danny Bill belongs to those french legendary nak muays I had the chance to watch on my TV screen when I was a child in the 90's. He's really respected by french connoissers. His techniques were above average and the way he fought was really smart. In France, we always mention his name with Mourad Sari, Stéphane Nikiema, Dida Diafat. He's a True Legend
One of my fave Muay Thai fighters OF ALL TIME...... dude’s a GENIUS.
Even though he looked like he was goofing around, he was always in position and never over extended.
Thank you for introducing legendary fighters to us! :D
Any time!
I had never heard of him. This is so cool. He has some mad skills. Muay Thai was so strong in that era. Thank you for posting.
I can see so much of the same elusive technique as Kaoklai Kaennorsing. He was the first Muay Thai fighter I followed after my introduction to the sport in the early 2000’s. His “freak show” fights against much larger opponents in K1 were legendary. Thank you for creating and sharing this video.
One of the reasons I fell in love with sweeps.
This is a guy I can learn a lot from. Thanks for posting this.
Awesome! Thanks for the insight into this amazing fighter. Oh, and nice to hear your real voice @Lawrence Kenshin Striking Breakdowns
Thanks to you man !!! You are a good man dude . I hope nice things happen for you and your loved ones :]
To beat those legends in their turf is incredible. True legend. I do want to see more of this beautiful sport in MMA. It will bring tact and art to the sport. Its unfair that practitioners like Adesanya and Anderson Silva are a rarity
We need to give these great fighter's the recognition they truely deserve. 🙏💯
its really true
Still jaw dropped by that clinch grab while dealing with a spinning back elbow. Insane!! But utterly beautiful.🙌
so amazing
Wow never saw this guy before. The sweep under the roundhouses are so unique. As well as his defensive knees as he returns from a kick. Really well executed. So Fluid.
Unbelievable editing and commenting. Smart, concise and beautifully, artistically done! Bravo! Best editing on YT! 🏆🎖
You've played a part in bringing Dany's name back to the limelight that he truly deserves... good on you buddy! I hadn't heard of him prior to your earliest mention of him some time ago. Incredible skills... and catching that spinning back-elbow was just ridiculous... seriously... ridiculous! :) Great upload mate - as normal ;) ... Have a great day buddy :)edit... just realised that this vid was 2 yrs ago, and is prob the vid I first saw! lolol ... just as good second time around lolol :)
Thx for the channel. I have learned so much from Lawrence. The videos give me awareness, insight, and true value. These fighters unaware have become my teachers an idols. Bad things: 1-I can never find the music ( so I may work out to it) 2- cant find some of the 1st videos posted. Keep up the great work. I thank you for your good work. Please keep displaying untold stories and matches. Go Lawrence.
Thanks for the vid Lawrence!
Loved this story. Can't believe I've never heard of the guy he is a machine
That's some beautiful stuff there! I have the impression that they weren't "grinding" a Jocky Gym but rather "playing" which is why they're such good technicians. "Grinding" makes you tough, but "playing" makes you technical. You can see that when Saenchai is sparring, it's not some tough guy stuff but always a big fun with lots of laughing for all people involved.
Your channel is great, I've seen a lot of videos and always learning from them, congratulations
Glad you like them!
Great stuff. I always love to see technical fighters.
Beautiful watching such technical prowess and artistry in action. Really inspirational!
thanks for watching !
@@LawrenceKenshin You basically got me back into the Muay Thai gym after 20 year hiatus so, thank you Man!
3:55 watched that spinning elbow catch about 9 times in a row...wow
Beautiful documentary on an unknown Master. Crazy we're just now hearing about this guy.
Didn't know Dany was from jocky also! All my favourite fighters are from there. Crazy gym and philosophy. Dany Bill is one of the most underrated striker in my opinion. Thanks for an other awesome video.
Yes they are! thank you for watching
Loved his sweeps. Incredible reflexes
incredible indeed
WOW! Thank you for the information Lawrence!! 👏👏👌
Amazing video, once again. Dany Bill is a legend indeed!
thank you for watching
Much love to you Lawrence!
Thank you Lawrence for this 🙏
Love stuff like this. I've never herd of this Artist until now, wow I've really missed out
Yeah I light sparred with him in 2014 at American Top Team Gwinnett in Douglas Lima's camp and he did a spinning back kick to my throat. It was beautiful. Such speed and precision. And I am an experienced high level fighter. Much props!
Love your work Lawrence!! Dany had that ability to be that split second ahead of his opponent!! It must be like how a fly feels when it sees that swatting hand approaching!! ;o)
Damn i would die and not know for this legend if you didnt upload this ty L.K great content as usual.....
Danny is always a pleasure to watch. The Jocky swag is hard to miss or to not appreciate.
We need more fighters like him
indeed agreed
i love muay thai and i have never heard of Dany.thank you for this video

Thank you sir, for the great video.
Glad you liked it!!
Brilliant. Love how he caught the elbow.
Amazing fighter.. thanks for sharing!
🙏🙏🙏
Catching that guy on that spinning elbow is one of the most beautiful muay thai moves I've seen im competition. So fluid, its crazy.
He moves like a piece of art. So beautifully executed
art indeed
Thanks for this!
My pleasure!
I remember signing up for muay thai class in a small gym in Paris suburb (13 years ago) . It was my first time doing martial art, I didn't know anything about muay thai. Dany was giving the class 3 times a weeks, the membership was dirt cheap compare to the gym in the us. I had a great time learning fightings and the discipline of the sport. He is legend but before that he is an humble guy, passionate and there for the next generation.
Wow, this young man was wonderful!
Wow, I never knew about him. Thank you for this.
