Taking a kick from Tawanchai PK Saenchai is like getting hit with a sledgehammer. Because, while blocking might work most of the time, there’s a chance that your bones will break under the pressure.

I really enjoy how he fights always with supreme calmness composure and precision, like hes solving a math equition rather than fighting in a ring.
angerless
His footwork definitely sets him apart. He's so good at creating the right distances while also setting himself up for combos/counters. Also the way he interrupts his own rhythm to throw his opponent off is crazy. It's why he always looks like he's in control and never overextending, yet he lands with knockout power.
Finally, someone’s talking about this guy. I’ve been looking for analysis vid since I’ve discovered him and couldn’t find any. Long time fan, thanks for the content.
He looks utterly unstoppable. If he masters wrestling and/or ground fighting too, I can see him become the best pound for pound fighter in the world, no joke.
Not to be disrespectful but grappling it's another whole world and I don't see him beating guys that have been doing it since kids(still one of the most dangerous strikers in the world for sure)
MMA striking is different, he would not be able to fight like he does in MMA
Lol
@@San-oe1xv As I said, if he starts to excel at wreastling or grappling, he will be!
He lost to joe tho
I like the comparison with the GOAT iron shin Ernesto Hoost. He is the only other person I've seen break his opponents arn with a kick. And he did that to a prime Jérôme Le Banner, the French champ who was build like a tank!
Yeah saying a fighter has a kick like Hoost is pretty much one of the greatest compliments you can give them haha. Hard to think of a better power kicker than Hoost, only 4 or 5 come to mind to compete and most of them are Muay Thai guys from Thailand.
More people have done it than you would think.
Cung Le broke Frank Shamrock's arm with a kick
Quite a few fighters have done, including one of the GOATS Poatan :)
Le banner took damage previously being in a tournament, I’d this this is more impressive as they’re both fresh
So glad that Tawanchai is finally getting noticed. He is a superlative Muy Thai fighter. Future GOAT!
I think people have been noticing him awhile now.
this guy has been a star since like 14 years old
He's got 130 winstreak but I just heard his name just now
The boy is superstar in thailand for a decade. Onechampionship bring him up internationally
The way he fakes his roundhouse into a front kick is beautiful. Fun fact, Bas Rutten was a vocal advocate of this technique and used it in many of his Pancrase bouts.
I first saw it on Bas Rutten's MMA DVD set and would drill it in the gym when I was healthy enough to train regularly. Landed it in the one kickboxing bout I was in.
one thing i noticed is when he L-steps, instead of bringing his right leg forward back into stance, he slowly lifts it like he is going to then explodes into his side teep. the opponent doesnt have the time to react to the quick acceleration and break in rhythm
That's exactly right, it's part of how he breaks his rhythm. He always explodes forwards between the normal stepping patterns, off beat.
Incredible video! Love seeing these type of thorough technique breakdown for different combat sports!
I remember watching a random fight of his, and I thought to myself i’ve never seen a fighter look so calm and relaxed he almost looked bored in the fight dude is the real deal.
HELL YEAH keep it up tmma this video warmed my heart, i know you have good ins with glory so you keep covering their fighters but lets not beat around the bush we just simply dont care too mutch. But this? This is somebody at the top of the sport and in modern day too, great work!
His technique is so clean and always practical , it’s just beautifull to watch.
What a good breakdown! Well done! I really love that teep into a side kick. I have never seen any thaiboxers do that before.
Tawanchai's kicks are devestating but Superbon ate his kicks(often to the body) like they were nothing.
Thank you for this! Tawanchai is my favorite One fighter. Great Breakdown of such an amazing and skilled fighter. Rarely you see a such technical fighter posses extreme power too
So happy ONE fighters are getting love.
I'd love to see an analysis on Noiri Masaaki for the smooth combinations and mixing knees and boxing and kicking fluidly
Second!
@@bibekjung7404 Ok
Amen. Best knees in the game bar none.
@keion_arknights "in the game bar none" - what's this new game called 'bar none'.
What I like w thank kid is that is a true and moral warrior. He respects his opponents. He is human and great athlete. I see other fighters they are criminals. They want to destroy, to harm even to kill some times. This guy when he sees his opponent down he retreats calmly and he is not jumping at him punching a many times unconscious person. These guys have primitive instincts and not respect at all. He is an exemplary warrior... someone who is teaching skills and respect as well. May God bless him.
Hey David been watching your great videos for a while. You are without a doubt the best fighting analyst on KZhead!❤
Thank you!
For sure- great work and 🙏 thanks
A very subtle technique of his seems to be facial expressions -- he smiles and make his opponent briefly relax like they're sharing a moment, and then unleash a combo flurry
Great breakdown! The fight with Petchmorakot, who is a superb fighter, is one of my favorites matches.
Cold and as brutal as the iceberg against the Titanic
Beautiful! I love these muay thai breakdowns
Tawanchi is one of the best fighters I've ever seen, in any discipline. I found him by accident a few years ago, and watching him fight is like watching a dance of destruction, I can't say enough good things about him. I'm a boxer, not a kickboxer, and I can't help but imagine him as a middleweight boxer...wow!
Shin bone strength is one of the key advantages Thai fighters usually have over foreign Muay Thai fighters of similar builds who adopted the sport later in life. Western fighters usually has the height and arm reach advantage, but you're not going to find one that's been conditioning their Shin bones since before their teens. That's why kicks from Thai Muay Thai guys are more likely to break bones than most. Should look at fights betweem Thais and Cambodias, the Cambodian fighter regularly end up with broken arm or leg after entering the ring against a Thai.
Tawanchai is pretty tall for a thai fighter .even thai people are getting taller as time goes by we will see thai 6.2 fighters in the next generation
Another great breakdown on an awesome striker !!! Will we get some videos on Takeru (since he's scheduled to fight Rodtang) and Superbon too ?
Hopefully Superbon if I have the time! One is great about working with me on this kind of stuff so I'm sure they're very open to Superbon.
great skills, handsome, trains with master Seanchai also guarantee good discipline. This guy will be a legendary.
Your videos bring me such joy. Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Future goat for sure. He has it all - speed, power, defense and perhaps most importantly, timing.
the trick is to counter the rotation of your kick with your hip so the kick is like a whip and helps you with balancing. The speed makes up for the power lost in how kicks are usually thrown.
Tawanchai really playing Street Fighter irl with those microsteps and set ups man
Superbon will give Tawanchai a run for his money in the kicking department! Super hyped for that one.
Haven't heard the intro song before. Sounds great!
We live in an era of truly great Thai Boxers. (If I were but forty years younger.) Thanks for sharing with us! I'm sure I'm not alone in absorbing all I can from your analysis and breakdowns. Which I pass on to my own students. I think this is the best boxing channel on KZhead. Thanks again. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association
Thai Boxing peaked in the 80s and 90s, straight killers everywhere during that time, also there was way more money and prestige in the sport back then too
I like watching his fights, he is so relaxed. Reminds me a bit like Cro Cop, nothing to worry about in the stand up strikes
great breakdown
this is what ive been waiting for
Gonna try and get to see him vs Superbon this month. He's insane.
I love this channel
His muscle from legs , body and hands look very strong , training from childhood up to present built His strenght , His blow can knock out most of His opponent
background soundtrack is excellent
You never really block a kick from Taiwanchai
Tawanchai's bones aren't just stronger than yours on a 1:1 basis, his tibia is stronger than your femur, and his tarsals/metatarsals are stronger than your skull. That's the kind of strength you only get from kicking everything and everyone from the age of 7.
I'd love to see him and John Haggerty fight one day. That would be an interesting matchup. But, it'll depend if they ever end up in the same weight division.
Thank you for blurring that broken arm
His technique is a thing of beauty, with very little tell. Great break down. Thanks
His blitz jab is a really important tool for him starts all his combos and pressure
A video on how to develop iron shins would be very cool
Cro Cop mastered the high kick knockout. Ernesto Hoost mastered the low kick. Tawanchai does it all. If Tawanchai got good at boxing and takedown defense, he'd slaughter his way through the MMA ranks.
His kicks have a Savate inspired hop step in them. esp for his teeps.
Can u make a video on Roberto Duran too pls
Geez. This guy is a monster! You never realize how complex fighting is until you have reviews and breakdowns. Thank you!
Can you do a breakdown from the Filipino flash nonito donaire
A real seasoned pro
I love using the teep sidekick when I can, but the thing is, sometimes my sparing partner will say that's cheating because it's neither a teep nor a round kick.
I know this is not about the video, but can you do the mythical fighters of mma or boxing?
Do a video on Kyoji Horiguchi! Would love to see your take on Karate in MMA
great idea
Yes, more thai boxing and kick boxing, could i suggest rukiya anpo and maybe revisiting lerdsila.
i remember the CroCop vs Fedor video. never let a slugger a chance to move forward.
It may sound crazy, but an Armwrestling Breakdown from you would be fantastic. Larratt vs Cyplenkov 2. Check it out. Larratt says armwrestling is a miniature martial art.
1:30 hearing you absolutely butcher louisville being a kentucky native was the funniest part of the entire video
Do a Subriel Matias breakdown
That fight with Kiria make some people ask, "What should I do when opponent kick?" while thinking about Kiria do something wrong lol.
FINALLY!
00:03 The ref must have heard a/the crack, or 'screech' from the opponent after that kick. 100ms after the kick the ref's mouth goes agape/gasp, and immediately looks to the arm and calls the fight, the arm is also 'screened' out at that point. I don't recall seeing anyone with faster kicks than Tawanchai's, not this kick particularly, but all the other high kicks.
Cedric doumbe breakdown next
Can you make video about third fight between ali and norton please :(
His kick-to-close-range-punch shuts down the opponent's kicks, and guarantees that the opponent can only respond with punch counters, which he already has setups for
Can u do one about Dany bill 🙏
Great video, you should do masato next
Finally broke em down .🤣 peace & love ,I study this channel
What’s the song called from 1:26?
superbon video next?
his boxing is soooo goood
Masato kobayashi explained?
I love tawanchai
Binging this at 3am interesting
Bro is so cool
The best defense to fight this kind of fighter is to attack. Because from the video i see he is atacking when his oponent guarding, so from the video he look attacking with no worry tobe countered
I think that Tawanchai himself would say that those kicks that Modern Martial Artist says are feigned are actually strategy recalculations.
Best teep/push kick in the game right now
My first Karate teacher was guy that size, I am telling you the man had amazing power.Back when MMA was showing up I had the skills and connections to get into it. I was always afraid I would meet a guy like this and really get hurt. I have really hurt some people using these skills and feel bad about it, so I would not want to really hurt anyone either. I have only kicked one person using these skills, it was a 325 pd buff 6ft 5 foot ball player. It broke three of his ribs put him in the hospital, besides that I have been in 4 street fights, everyone of them went down on the first punch. I do not compare with my first Karate teacher. I sincerely would not want to fight this guy. Tawanchai.
He looks like Dennis To. The young Man's Hair doesn't get Tousled during his Fights.
His teep is insanely fast and powerful. Can be the GOAT no doubt.
I was going to say that, too! Damn, I would love to teep like him. So AWESOME and hilarious to watch.
He is a muay thai fighter but i can also see some elements of taekwando, karate and kickboxing on his style.
Lol.
Him vs Petch would be an insane fight. If you think Ta is good, look up Petch in glory kickboxing
"If do right, no can defense!".
Superbon blocked it a few times. What a fight.
He is intelligent just like Buakaw. All the moves he made same as Buakaw. The Thai kick is just like that they don’t move much because power comes from the hip. They just turn their hip to swing the leg.
Think he could have an even worse unblockable knee by not just kneeing upward but adding core and lats rotation, hip and leg muscle rotation; and exploding from the other leg as well at the same time this would be unblockable for him...add more posterior chain strength to that forward kick the 3 would be unblockable completely.
Same Johan ghazali..17year oldd Can he fight Johan ghazali
this dude really said "LEWIS ville slugger" XD
His punching techniques are so unique not like boxing
What a nice guy. He even wears fluorescent green socks just so his opponent know how the lights were turned off xD
He seems laidback, is it his kicks and punch are pinpoint precision. His shin must be the hardest.
Can we get a dmitry bivol video
Where you look when watching combat sports or how you can see both fighters at once when watching combat sports because I want to learn to breakdown fight?
If you're talking the relationship between the two fighters, look at who is at their preferred distance. That's usually who's winning the fight. Next look at who is dictating the pace and timing. The person who is throwing when they want to and keeping their rhythm even when the other person throws is probably winning. After that it gets more specific but those are the easiest to gauge the fight. If all else fails, pay attention to who is landing what kind of strike and how often haha
@@TheModernMartialArtist you mean watch the space between two fighters so I can see both fighters at once?
@@hdeyniz2986watch each fighter and take notice of which one is having success, note why they’re having success and what they’re doing that’s working.
Almost similar to samart.. But samart were more relaxed & more intelligent.. Tawanchai perhaps hold much power than samart, but not as smooth as samart does.. His teeps remind me of samart, but samart teep were more elegant & deadly efficient..
What means louisville slugger? I am from Ecuador and I don't understand that expression.
It's an American baseball bat- usually made from Hickory - a hard wood
@@jimgarvey48 thank you
He reminds me of a robot, cool, calm, calculated and deadly.
