      I was in Thailand in 1995 for a student exchange program. I seen teens kicking babana trees so hard i thought it was easy. I was 6’2”, 200 pounds and 20 yrs old. I also hit the tree a dew hits. Could feel the pain in my leg.
      These small thai boys 16 yrs old were basically saying i was hitting like a girl.
      They challenged me in a friendly matched.
      I accepted.
      After 2 minutes.. i got that kick in my right leg. It surprised me because i thought he was a righty… from seing how hard his right kick was killing that banana tree seconds before the fight.
      Turns out he was a lefty and that banana tree was just a lil warm up.
      I got the nerve by asking my friend to translate “tell him to hit me like a real fight.. i can take it”
      Lol.. my friend said “you sure ?… ok, good luck”..
      All i heard was some Thai gibberish with the famous word “farang”..
      So he hit me with his left leg .. the pain was impossible to hide. I was laughing to avoid more embarrassement lol.. but i said “ok stop, STOP ! Police, POLICE!” The pain was atrocious.. i had a nark on my legs for weeks.
      They were dying of laughter.. i paid these guys beers with their dads watching.
      Farmers in Thailand. So friendly. I made their day.
      They probably tell that story still today, 25 yrs later..
      Best time of my life.
      But seriously .. if that much ain was done by a 16 yrs old amateur at best …
      … i cant imagine from pro fighters.
      They perfect that kick all their life. Beleive me when i say, these low kicks might seem low impact .. but after 2 rounds of receiving about 40 of them ..you just want to tap out.

    Samart with his high IQ, flawless technique, balance in defence & offense, and of course his legendary side-teep..

    Back in the early 90s I would work out at a multiple martial arts club. I was there for Judo, but I would also watch the boxers and kickboxers spar in the ring there and also take in the new sport of MMA in the "cage" (which to be honest, I never thought would take off LOL). Anyway, a guy comes in, short (maybe 5'6"?), from Thailand. He knows one of the coaches and a top fighter training there (who they thought would go pro as a kickboxer) agrees to spar with him. The Thai guy takes off his sweatpants and his thighs were bigger than his waist and his shins were all scarred up, like they'd been beaten with flails for 20 years. The Thai guy threw one left roundhouse to the midsection, it sounded like a gunshot, and the top kickboxer just dropped like he'd been stabbed or something. We just stared in shock. When the coach told us that the kick wasn't even full power, we didn't believe him. The little Thai guy moved over to the heavy bag, swung it back about four feet and then kicked it full force, bending the bag in half. All I could think about was that a shin kick like that to someone's head could kill him. Been in awe of Muay Thai fighters ever since.

    i was always better with right kicks, but last year during some training alone i got irritated with my lefts not being as fast or strong. so i spent the next few weeks making that my priority. my left is my lead leg normally, so i figured if i can make those kicks alot faster and stronger, it would catch ppl off gaurd. now im able to see a large difference in the power and speed of my left kicks and im kinda happy about it. this gives me lots of options for my arsenal.

Big surprise, everybody says my jab is my best punch, but made me question why 10k is the arbitrary number people like to pick when alluding to mastery as imo it takes far more than that repetition or hour wise for the average person

    This resonates extremely with me because even though I'm an orthodox boxer (right hand dominant), my left leg is dominant for some reason. and i find using the front teep and lead roundhouse kicks extremely effective to throw since it hits harder than my rear leg which is traditionally supposed to be stronger. I will try the southpaw stance and use my left leg as the rear leg to replicate this genius

    I think Samkor exemplifies a Thais best path to success in western rules. Spamming a hard middle kick and clinching to nullify punches. One problem is some organizations don’t like excess clinching. Petchpanomrung is the closest thing to this strategy, except he has some punching in his arsenal.

    Bruce Lee wasn't wrong in his famous quote, he was generalizing the number, but the point was well taken. Practicing certain strikes or counters repetitively, will make one very dangerous to deal with, and he was right, as usual. He would know, because he was well known for doing exactly that. Many fighters that came after Bruce had the advantage of his superior knowledge to draw from, yet still nobody has even come close to his skill level, and probably never will. This mans kicks deserve a lot of respect however.

    By this calculation almost all top muay-thai fighters would have thrown this many kicks depending if they have a favorite leg. Even if they have a mixed style it still be would be 5 million plus or so per leg. They all have the same crazy training regimes and start at a very young age. Excellent video, always mind provoking making you look at things from a different unexpected angles. Thank you!

    Wouldn't all pro fighters have 10 million kicks? I'm sure they also practice roundhouses just as much. Yes he would kick over 1000 times per day, so would every pro fighter ever. In fact people who train Muay Thai seriously would just kick a heavy bag 1000 times with right then swap to left. This is every day of every week of every year. Kicking a lot is not groundbreaking. My teacher, who's not even a fighter and only did Martial Arts for fun and is 50+ years old, kicks well over 1000 times per day and has been since he was 18. The serious fighters all will kick a lot, this does not make him special. And the people he beat probably had 10 million kicks as well, so does every good fighter. There are only so many ways to kick, especially in Muay Thai, the roundhouse is practiced constantly in the 1000s by serious fighters. There's more to his kicks than just being repetitive and I would have liked a more detailed segment of what he does specifically to get such a powerful left over others and the setup he does and how he can get away with only doing one move, rather than just generic training that they ALL do. Because I know he practices kicks a lot, like every other fighter. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

    2 sessions a day
    60 * 12 * 2 = 1,440 kicks per day
    Trains 315 days a year
    1,440 * 315 = 453,600 kicks per year
    17 years between 13 and 30
    453,600 * 17 = 7,711,200 kicks in his life

The point is that martial artists who wanna "collect" flashy moves aren't gonna fare well against someone who has the discipline to hone one skill to the max.
