Sagat is someone modern MMA fighters should really study. His style is so applicable to an MMA context. To my mind he's the best example of Muay Thai with a punching focus
My brother wanted to get started in MMA back in Thailand actually and I told him to go straight to Sagat. This dude's hands were YEARS ahead of his time, even now.
When I started training, I went for the head. I went to the body but it was more like of a distraction for the head shot. It wasn't until my teacher and friend taught me of body shots with bad intention. I still doubted this, a kick to the liver changed my mind forever. I was awake, but couldn't move, and I swear I felt like I shit my shorts. June of 1996, I remember the date. Once people feel a real body shot they will not know it's power and effectiveness. Great video as always.
Your commentary, laughing, and pure enjoyment of training is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for posting all these vids. I will definitely pledge/donate to watch your Patreon vids in their entirety. Thank you once again!
I found your channel a couple days ago and it is the best Muay Thai channel I’ve seen so far. You make a very important work out there. This video is so full of details I can’t even process all of this. Thank you very much for your charring this awesome people and there fighting intelligence with us! 🙏🙏🙏 Chok Dee
Sagat's fights w/ Sugar Foot Cunningham were incredible. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this!!! Petchyindee is a terrifying fighter, and it is a real treat to see him as an educator.
Awesome Turtorial video with your commentary!!!👍🏻👍🏻😎Very cool!! I did have trained Muay Thai too in 2009 for awhile.👍🏻😎greetingsss from the Netherlands!
The technique at the end where he jams the right hand before it really gets going, that is a technique mentioned in jack dempsey's "championship fighting and aggressive defense." It's interesting to see it instructed in live action. Very cool.
Im an amateur in mt, but most time, i only train alone with no partner, only do shadow and heavy bag in my house, and i felt so unsatisfied, the only time i ve a partner in when i train with my pad holder, a few months ago. But now that ive further my study, i cant find sparring partner here...but watching channel like this, i can learn some useful tips, its only matter of time till i found someone to practice with...
Sparring is extremely important for progressing and it is such an amazing workout as well as being really fun to do since its essentially 'play fighting'. You should look at joining a MMA gym or some where that teaches Muay Thai or kick boxing. Even if its once a week and you train the rest of the week by yourself at least you will get that sparring experience. Even if they don't do sparring all the time at least you will meet people who you can then ask to spar with. Such an important activity for getting your body used to taking a hit and keeping your cool when you're having the pressure put on you.
I’ve trained with a former boxer too. I agree with old fashioned techniques really helpful. I’ve leaned new styles from people and adjusted to my master. Amd twisting body, power from shoulder are main idea. 5 months boxing, my shoulders are sore but firmed without lifting
My first ever sparring session I got tkod by such a clean beuatiful uppercut to the solar plexus, it wasn't even that hard but it shut everything for a second and I just couldn't breathe. Now I tkd teep to there. Such an underrated strike.
Heya sylvie+kevin old vid I know but I saw the elbow to body, normally never see that right, there was an old Muay boran script I saw with it. Could be very effective right
Silvyy i have basic matrial art but never use shin to kick Now im trying to train my shin But intens training kick with shin i fell my angkle hurt like it want to go of like it fell want to pop of my leg What i do rong Answer me please Help me
@@Cambodia69 yes. However I think Americans specifically have a culture that takes itself too seriously when it comes to work and goals that in the end is less effective, and loses the personal, and playful aspect that is needed for development. Any thoughts on this?
@@patrickvernon5368 I think that's one of the main reasons why (most) non-Thai fighters look so stiff and lack the beautiful aesthetic of Thai nak muay.
I'm drawing the scenario now Sylvie comes back to the United States to visitand some guy decides to mess with her maybe steal something from her take her purse something like that heaven help him for what happens to him next
Robert Liberty Her and her husband will play it safe because, you never know if someone has a gun on them. Also fighting in the ring doesn't always translate to good on the street. When I fight on the street it's rarely ever time to use good muay thai. Usually you just wanna get it over with fast, and leave the area/situation. Best thing to do is avoid it anyway. I think she's Canadian.

Nic Stewart yeah I could definitely see that
@michael browne what bruce lee move is proven correctly?
@@abmo32 the oblique kick for one.

Also FYI Sagat trained Firas Zahabi, the leader of the legendary Tristar gym. Real recognized real.

What did you expect when you get ahold of a Muay Thai Master. Very good video
This is so incredible and insightful

Leonid Danilovich Arkadin How can you be an amateur if you don’t even spar lol

i just caught myself laughing when sagat was stopping ur punches as soon as they were arising :D
So amazing. Tell him to keep eating lots of fruit so he can live on and on. Him and his knowledge is precious!
Amazing video learned a lot
Look at his eyes light up..... wow!!!
I hope, i can stop by for even a small learning session. I will be thailand for a week.

OMG! Sagat! Thanks for sharing the vids
Man, so cool!! Love your vids. Cant wait to watch whole video.
You laughing over you and him laughing makes me laugh.

Legendary fighter
Love your videos

Sagats hand trapping looks almost like wing Chun, even the way he parries. Impressive
Best thumbnail ever😂
They call him the king, for a reason 😎
Great video please keep it up!!!!!!!!
ตามให้แล้วเด้อคับ
My hero more than 30 years ago.
What do these golden age Muay Thai guys think about all the foreigners coming over to do Muay Thai?
Igor Westerman I’m sure most of them love it cause it is making Thai Boxing more popular.
Silvyy i have basic matrial art but never use shin to kick
Now im trying to train my shin
But intens training kick with shin i fell my angkle hurt like it want to go of like it fell want to pop of my leg
What i do rong
Answer me please
Help me
Don’t hit with the ankle
the laugh at 1:28. Sylvie cackling with joy
Really awesome content.
2:00 Bruce Lee said frequent body shots are a sign of an expert striker
Damn I know my comment is late but dang this guy is calm and it's really scary how this guy fights in the ring during his era.
Nice.
Perfect
Love 🐅
Id love to train with him, how much did he charge you for a session?
happy 420
This gym is own by sagat?
💛🧡💚💙 TIGER KNEE 💛🧡💚💙
I love you 😍
Tiger, Tiger, Tiger Uppercut, Tiger Knee
I love thai fighter..they"re having fun while training but when fighting comes it's all mean and scary.
The Sagat I know is literally 20 inches taller and is a natural redhead.
Foreigners train with more playfulness.. I think that's a more effective way to train
Don't you mean Thais train with more playfulness?

Thats shoulder muscles from hell
