The Fighter with the BIGGEST Heart | Muay Thai Documentary | Pornsanae Sitmonchai
Learn from Legends: www.legendarystriking.com
“I’m not scared hurt, I scared lose.”
Pornsanae Sitmonchai -
a decorated legend;
a fearless lion in the ring;
a man of contrasts.
The intimidating, larger than life presence of Pornsanae in the ring belies a sheepish fanboy as he laughed in embarrassment at the idea of fighting his idol, Muay Thai GOAT Saenchai.
The intense energy when he hits pads with his trainer conceals the prankster older brother he is to his camp junior Thepnimit (Jun).
Pornsanae’s fights are almost always explosive, wildly entertaining, and rarely ends with a decision. He was the original star of his camp, popularising the famed aggressive Sitmonchai-style of hard punches, devastating low kicks, and big display of heart in the ring.
Fighting with an aggressive and pressurizing style does come with its trade-offs though. Pornsanae talks about the dangers to his life and health, and the sacrifices he had to make for his rise to the top.

Interesting how you touch on his style the big boxing combinations followed by the hard low kick defines the sitmonchai style wen people say thaiboxing is just about hard single shots there wrong the sports evolved alot know you av people like yodsinklai who definitely falls into the single hard left kick category but alot of fighters throw big combinations know like seksan and alot of others
Why did you censor the name at 9:22? Who was he talking about?
@@diefamilieunsereheimat9943 these days, do you know the originele start of this "sport"?
Thanks dude. Great vid
@@PrescriptionDeath I think it's bovy sor odomsum I can only think about him ,the guy was punch drunk 1nd keep fighting it was painfull to watch.
This documentary is great to a level people cannot imagine. For me, one of the most amazing parts is how you talk with him about dementia and head trauma, very sincere, very worrying, no shit, very pure.
Thai people. Muai Thai Fighters. Amazing. I had the best time of my life in the land of smile!!
tell me more about your trip!
@@LawrenceKenshin Deez
Thailand of smile number one MUAYTHAI and food good more one
Pornasae if you read this believe me mate your a legend to the real muay thai fans
thanks for supporting him!
@DB Cooper's MoneyBags only place he's going now is prison
@@LawrenceKenshin just read hes murdered someone shot them mad
@@matthewadams1874 he killed two people. got away with the first one because he was famous at the time.
@@ryanjames4740 in that part of the world who hasn't killed someone?
I love thai humility.. I train in muay thai when I was 13 years old start. My 1st teacher 19 years old just beat me up all day. I didn't understand it was to make me test heart. I'm so angry I bite him...his father saw this and train me private for 7 years. Treat me like family, feed me..thai people if they like you are very kind people. If they dont , well! 🙏🏼
That last bit at the end with his friend, :') that def looks like a 20 year friendship
Yeah that puts a smile on your face
Real friend's alway's Smileys the are afraid of u sry bad english
Luckily that's not the friend he murdered.
I trained under him for a little while. Maybe a little over year? Back in 2014, 2015, 2016. He was my favourite instructor by far. I wasn't the biggest guy nor the most skilled. But his encouragement, the padwork I did with him, was such an exhilirating feeling. I never felt tired with him. I always pushed and pushed. I felt like an absolute machine. Not only a great fighter, but a great teacher as well.
One of my favourite fighters. His hard hitting no fear style is a joy to watch win or lose.
winner is the fan!
Thailand is my second home I've never been to a country where people are so hospitable they have big hearts
@Gathka Master have you ever been to the United States? Lmao
@Gathka Master Thailand is very corrupt yes. Not a place to go travelling alone that's why you just go to the gym and stay there
Do you advice to visit Tailand?
@Gathka Master my friend after 6⃣ months stranded here due to the pandemic I can completely understand your sentiments..
@@Denis-cp2zq definitely not at the moment I've been stranded here due to the pandemic and its not tourist friendly at the moment 😲
Beautiful work man. Many don't know these legends so it's nice to show their stories. Like p'nae said , nowadays it's easier for fighters to fight in lumpinee or raja but back in the days it was tough and the ultimate achievement for those fighters , so it's good to know the names and stories of the few that reached those heights .
Also a legend ramon dekker fought many times there, a long time ago, thats a big achievement for a not Thai
Golden era fighters were all killers.
I'm so happy and glad that youtube recommended me this video. Kru Nae was my favourite Muay Thai instructor when i was training in Evolve. I hope i will meet him again.
I'm so glad I watched this. Very humbling friends are brother's that never forget about mama & papa (family). What a story, thank you for sharing. Very heart felt. 👍🏾😊🤙🏾
Kenshin Pornsanae Documentary? Sign me upppp. Seriously thank you for this, Pornsanae was such an amazing Thaiboxer and an absolute legend in the sport.
thanks for watching and the support!
Thai people are amazing, I lived there for 14 years. My wife, in- laws and daughter are Thai from the South. That is a nation who can be proud of their rich culture.
Wow such beautiful people. Thank you so much for doing these videos. The moments with his friend Jun so cool. The amazing thing about the Muay Thai is how much ultimate aggression and killer instinct they have in the ring but they are so cultured and respectful and loving. Much to say and learn from that mindset. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Amen!
He's a murderer, how is he a beautiful person?
@@MinotaurvsCyclops Says who?
@@mdcosta21 he killed someone He 's in jail now
😍😍😍 my favourite fighter because he wore his heart on his sleeve I remember suggesting on one of your other videos to do this man he's a living legend!!!!!
definitely wore his heart on his sleeve
What a decent guy and living legend. It is truly a touching and warm interview, thanks for making this great video.
This guy is a freaking GOAT!! And yet so humble...
You know you're gonna shed some tears and be inspired to go train asap when a new "muay thai documentary" drops! Love these so so so much 👊👊
Mr. Kenshin, your breakdown videos are the very best!! I have to say though that your interview videos, giving us long time Muay Thai fans a glimpse into the real lives of these legendary fighters, may possibly be my favorite vids on the whole of KZhead! These are pure gold! Excellent stuff Sir! Keep them coming please.
I really love this warrior's honesty and humility, I learned so much just from how he spoke not just what he said. There's so much I missed out on with Muay Thai history, channels like this one are a godsend. When I trained with Owen Comrie (Master Toddy trained him) back in the 90s, he'd mention names, but it was before the internet and so I couldn't get a hold of the stuff, so thank you Mr Kenshin
I went to visit the academy as a visitor a while back and was surprised with the amount of hard work everyone at the gym was putting in. This man is an absolute monster. Will visit the academy again in August/September.
@Sonny Kane thanks and good luck to you too!
What's the name of the academy? Thank you 🙏
@@MeTuBeindahouseIt's Sitmonchai. I had recently been there. Let me know if you have any questions
What a champion. Watching your videos helps me fight depression and get stronger every day. Thank you so much for making these. Someday I hope to visit Thailand and learn more about this great nation.
Extremely well put together. There is so much of a human side to his warrior. Thank you
Much love and respect to you brother, keep living the good life.
he living the muay thai life!
@@LawrenceKenshin Which is the Best life in my opinion. I'm training hard everyday hoping to be great someday. Thank you for what you do.👍👍
Hands down what you've done is the greatest Muay Thai videolibrary ever existed. A powerful legacy for next generations. Modern Thai warriors culture at its best. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you, Lawrence. That was amazing.
Love it, thanks Lawrence for this, another great episode about all the muay Thai living legend
This dude is so humble and self-aware. I wish the very best for this man
He’s in prison right now 😢
I am absolutely loving theses interwiews. production quality is up to high standards too.
He has a big heart and a good heart. A beautiful person. ❤️
Yes !!!! ✊🙏
He killed someone last week. Shot the man 6 times.
@@phank.s.4052 Exactly
What a beautiful man. I hope when he is older he is still ok.
@jeanluc305 who hasn't had their brains damaged though its what comes with fighting
He's going to prison, he just murdered someone yday.
@@MinotaurvsCyclops huh what happened
@@Nile15rush_fj Yes. He murdered someone with a gun probably 6 times shot
Love those interviews! Awesome! 🙇🏻♂️🙏🏼
thanks for the support!
Glad I came across ur channel after spending time in Thailand training it sure will keep me motivated. Superb Channel.
Beautiful doc, thanks for share !!
Thank you for this amazing content!!!! 💚 Hugs from Colombia.
thanks for watching!
Glad to hear he's still good in the head. Had a lot of heart yes, but also took a lot of heavy shots to the head during his career :-(
yeah, I'm glad to see his articulation that sharp even in a foreign language. hopefully it stays this way
No, he just murdered someone yday. Police are after him, guessing his head isn't so good after all
@@MinotaurvsCyclops what?
Such a humbling interview
Just back from 3 weeks in Thailand. Fabulous people - always generous, humble and happy.
Another great video Lawrence, big respect from England.
Superb documentary, as always!
I enjoyed watching every minute of this so humble these muay thai fighters 👍
It's most likely from the knowledge of the fundamental truth of anatta. That's a base of all real humility.
Great video! Thank you Lawrence😊
Beautifully made.
thanks for the support bro!
One of my personal all time favorites!
he's so great! thanks for watching aaron!
Love you videos keep them coming 🙏
Brilliant video, one of my all time favourite fighters. Well done :)
Thank you for showing this mans and many Thai peoples journey. People take the fighters for granted in entertainment in Thailand not knowing the hardship and struggles most fighters go through. Serving up a piece of humble pie. Walk the walk
humble pie is the best pie. thanks for the support
Thanks for sharing bro. Is beautiful. God bless you
What a great story....love this guy! You told it well.💜💜
congratulations and thanks for sharing a little more about this legend, and again congratulations and thanks for the great work you've been doing !! Hug from Brazil!!👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
thanks for watching bro!
Great disclosure. I appreciate this man's honesty and dedication. SIr thank you for sharing.
I like P'nae after I watched this programme, he is so real and humble, thanks for sharing🙏🏼
Great post. Thank you.
much love
What a beautiful soul. I started Muay Thai here in Chiang Mai, Thailand because of people like him. I have so much respect for those people.
La felicidad en sus caras al final del video. Dos personas que viven haciendo lo que más les gusta. Un abrazo desde España.
So humble yet so ferocious in the ring.The contrast is remarkable .
very nice documentary thank you :D
Nice interwiew keep up with this amagzing videos 💯
Thanks you for this Kenshin-I have NEVER seen Pornsanae in a boring fight. His fights with Pakorn were truly epic. You have to carry Pornsanae out of that ring if your gonna beat him. Truly one of my favorite fighters!
Great English from a man who knows nothing but Muay Thai. Lots of respect.
I really like him, first time i heard of him but i will not forget him Your a warrior.
I'm crying also pumped up..😅 It's a mix emotion really..
This is as usual sir, amazing content..i've watch many of ur videos..please keep on doing this, there is so much we can learn from the fighter perspectives. Amazing videos sir.
More to come! thank you
Wow... What heart. Title didn't lie. Honorable man. Wishing him all successes! 🇹🇭👏💕👇👑⭐🏆🐃🐄🐂
How beutifull ur presentation was without BGM just pure sounds and everything was Pretty professional
The way he laugh is sooo warming
They are so humble where else do you see fighters praise each other so much?
Imagine getting into a street fight with a guy like this and not knowing his background. You're basically gonna end up in the morgue! :-)
I didnt even think of that...I'd b goin half-easy n then WHAM I'd b seein stars
imagine wen drunk n you wanna fight them both.lol
Thing is Pornsanae would just apologize and leave without fighting
@@rekanpayne6606 i agree..
i an vhen-i understand that but can u go a bit deeper with this comment cause its universal aint it,some enviroments not cool to laugh & smile cause the ignorant thinks it weak so stand there quiet & staunch lol
True warrior! Love the Sitmonchai style.
I’m a simple man, I see “porn” I click.
The word that pronouce "porn" in thailand,it's mean "wish,good wish,or luck"
What the fuck with this joke 😂😂😂
Where
Lol
I click too when I see porn. This is a very good joke.
Great channel...great video!!!
thanks for watching!
Porsanae is one of my all time favorite fighters. That was great! Kop khun krup
A very humble man and he is great legend not just because he is champion but a big heart.
Their English is off, but I clearly understand what they are trying to say. I love this kind of interviews. Warriors with hearts
THAT WAS AMAZING
thanks for watching!
man...is hard to believe thepnimint and pornsanae was the most agressive fighters when you seen them like that.great video
Awesome...thank you
This guys share positive energy.....
Imagine being one of the 43 dislikes. 🙄 This Lawrence Kenshin fella has been sent from the heavens above to bring us interviews from the best Muay Thai fighters of our time and fighters some of us would have never even heard of. If it wasn't for him, I would have never know half of the fighters I know now. I have a hard time comprehending how it is even fathomable to someone to dislike any of this creators videos. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks man!
thanks for your time bro!
Imagine recieving that low kick to your knees………. Amazing how much dedication these fighters put in. Really put the art into martial arts.
Make so much documentary like this is very make spirit
Your chanell is perfect! Thanks from Russia!
Great really enjoyed watching that
My God those elbows in the beginning are gorgeous. The range control and speed. Just damn
great video!
This man would make the BEST Muay Thai teacher. He seems so compassionate
He won me with "I know muay Thai ,but Nothing else.👊👊👊true compassion.❤
Well... mama and papa created a pretty vicious fighter... big heart for the action. Thank you for these Ken.
I'm a guy and my heart just melt when they hug like that at 20:30 that's friendship,they met and train and grew together since they are kids
Inspirational story. Tq

Very respectful fighter.. Bless you brother 🙏
