Can't believe Black Bruce Lee beat so many Muay Thai legends with spinning kicks and spinning fists... What do you think of his style? Free Legendary Strategies: www.lawrencekenshin.com/
It's amazing. You need to commit to training like that though. don't know about taking all those groin shots though. I've seen too many fights where refs don't give a crap about them.
This guy is basically what Taekwondo thinks they are, Flashy, Unexpected, and most importantly, Speed= Acceleration. It is not the art, it is the practitioner, who adapts and takes what's useful.
TKD is crap lol. It's a complete failed system. Their defense mechanism: fall down. Their attack mechanism: Kick, and dive onto the floor. Watch Yi Long vs Taekwondo Master haha
Dumbass taekwondo in mcdojo in shit are shit but "if" you know that taekwondo isnt just kicks and have punches example yair rodrigues and mason gibson I learn taekwondo to learn how to kick thepunching is just the fun part
I thought this was a reupload but that shows how great he was you did three videos.Lawrence if it wasn’t for you I would’ve not known these great legends
FINALLY! This guy was a whispered about legend back in the 90's fighting scene. People always talked about "A Preying Mantis Kung Fu fighter who did kick boxing and thai boxing and could beat the Thais" but half the time, no one knew his name and almost no one had any footage on him in the *cough cough* trading circles until after 2000.
It's crazy how there's always the search for the best style or move, but there's a counter to every style and every move. In every sequence, he gets his range and starts his spin. It's either coming straight middle or hook high, and it's just a guessing game of what to block. So you get close right? A little closer means spinning backfist. A lot closer means a side kick in your gut. He's super physically talented, strong, agile, flexible, excellent balance.
What is interesting is he really only kicks with the right leg. If his right leg is back, he is going to spin, if right leg is forward, he is going to side kick. What is insane is that all of these fighters probably knew that, but still couldn’t stop him
The last fight is what true sportsmen are about . Loved watching it and the whole lot . Best channel on the art of fighting ever . Very thankful to have it 🙏
there is no such thing as a black bruce lee since the yellow bruce lee never did actually fought anyone. are there any vidoes on youtube of bruce lee in a real fight?....no, he is a move actor.
@ultimatedouchebag6760 ...You're missing the point. His nickname is whatever, the important thing is that during an Era where every American and Japanese kickboxer was getting their head cracked open Gibson was one of the few who wasn't. He was a phenomenal talent and it's sad that knowledge of him has fallen by the wayside. What he gets called is irrelevant so long as he's given due credit.
Go check out statistic of the normal weight and height of those Muay Thai Boxers. They are a lots lighter and a lots shorter, meaning they were much much different in weight class. For instance, Coban Lookchaomaesaitong Heigh :5 ft 4 in (1.63 m) and Weight 135 lb (61.2 kg) VS. Manson Gibson Height 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in) and Weight 80 kg (180 lb). Almost 20 kg. difference. Super unfair fight.
Dear Lawrence, I've been learning a lot from your videos. It is the best fighting channel, in my humble opinion. The way you talk about these professional fights shows us that fighting is pure art. Thanks a lot! Oss
I love this series of American kickboxers who had success. I wish kickboxing got revived in America. It would do a lot better under the UFC than PowerSlap. Smh. Good vid though
Powerslap is a disgrace. Worse than bumfights, as desperate people are exploited not by bunch of teenage morons, but by a big corporation. With much more damage to their health.
Just make sure you hide your car keys in the changing room. And leave some crispy chicken and watermelon And pay reparations upon defeat Astronaut/doctor/engineer coming to your country on a dinghy near you.
The entire MMA and One FC is all Kickboxing actually. Even though they mostly Thai fighters in One FC alot fight in American Kickboxing Rules, they have to sign in order to do Full Muay Thai.
This fighter wasn't on my radar for far too many years. Manson Gibson is a Legend, and I see why they called him the Muy Thai Killer. I love the honor and respect the general Muy Thai community showed eachother. Their sportsmanship is also legendary and outstanding.
@@badrobotNGMost caracters from (Super)Street Fighter 2 have a real life fighter inspiration, we just discovered where Deejay came from 😜 it's pretty obvious to me. Love it
Those side kicks and spinning back kicks are very powerful. You can see it on basketball steel poles. I remember there was this one guy who could shake the basketball poles with side kicks ☝️
I used to put out the light on the light pole on my street during college. After being out with my buddies, I side kick the pole and knock the light out
@@ghostdetective311 I know huh? The real test of a sidekick is practiced on a tree. When you can build up to kicking that tree and you don't move you have arrived. So you practice the technique form and then apply it slowly to the tree using 5-10-15% to 100% etc. but you still have to practice the four stages of the kick
The last fight was awesome. A master of one style perfectly balanced against a master of the contrasting style. They were both smiling because they knew they both met their match and both appreciated meeting an equal. It was a moment in sports where Art was being conducted in the middle of a martialed fight. :-)
Respect to the guy. But while I've heard of many kickboxers and Muay Thai fighters from the 90s onward, I've honestly never heard of him until just now.
Bruce Lee sparred with the best heavyweights in his Era including Joe Louis, Chuck Norris both of which became his students. Even Heavyweight Karate Champion at that time Joe Louis in an interview referred to Bruce as the greatest he's ever seen. That's coming from the Heavyweight Champ. Grandmaster Jim Kelly referred to him as untouchable and unbelievable. Bruce defeated Grandmaster Samo Hung from "Enter the Dragon" in a matter of seconds delivering a kick to his head before he could even lift up his leg. Likewise with Muhammad Ali's bodyguard George Dilman, was defeated in seconds, couldn't even see Bruce's kick much less have time to counter with his own kick. Bruce also defeated Grandmaster Bolo Yeung from "Enter the Dragon" hitting him so hard on the chest and dropping him to the ground. Bolo refused to do a fight scene with Bruce after that humiliating loss. Bruce also defeated Wong Jack Man the best fighter in the Chinese community which was sent from the Chinese council of Elders to defeat Bruce and force him to stop teaching Kung Fu to Americans. Grandmaster Street Fighter James Demille 225 lbs, Professional Heavyweight Boxer Ed Hart 240 lbs and Professional fighter Jesse Glover in Judo and Karate according to James Demile were not only defeated by Bruce but they were defeated where they didn't even stand a chance. This is besides the hundreds of Street flights Bruce got into In Hong Kong forcing him to come to America to avoid being arrested by the police. Bruce Lee was battle tested on the street not in the fake tournaments of the 60's where the referee would step in every few seconds stop the fight and award a point. How convenient to have a referee step in and save you after every point against you. That doesn't work in the real world. Fake fighting which is why Bruce avoided those fake tournaments. According to all the greatest fighters of all time he was the real deal able to deliver 9 punches in a second and his strongest punch up to 1200 lbs per sq in. Lightning speed with the force of a heavyweight with his punches and kicks faster than the human reaction time, virtually impossible to defend against. Every great Martial Artist recognizes Bruce as the father of modern day MMA to whom we owe a gratitude of thanks.
Quelle muay thai !?ce n'est pas du muay thaï ! Ni coudes ni genoux ni corps à corps !! On ne voit pas un seul combat en Thaïlande !! Ramon deckers ,j.c chwarbosky, dida ect sont les européens reconnus à cette époque par les thaïlandais ! Pas d'américains, juste français et hollandais
Another honorable mention is Cung Le. Le practiced Sanshou , Taekwon do and kickboxing and was undefeated in kickboxing. Maybe you can do a video of Cung Le some day.
I think spinning kick to the liver is the ultimate moves against Muay Thai cause they rely on defending head and legs, they feel really confident in their ability to take body shot cause they train their core to the limit, so a powerful spinning kick targeting body might be a surprise for them
Manson Gibson uses Taekwondo. He seems to mainly use Taekwondo's kicks. It seems that he learned Taekwondo from a very young age. Taekwondo is a traditional martial art in Korea. I know it very well because I am a Korean, the birthplace of Taekwondo. His kicks are very popular in Korea, too. His kicking video has reached millions of views in Korea.
"There's no better style, except better fighters." If you noticed,the last fighter gave Gibson a run for his money. So it depends on the kind of Muay Thai fighter that he fights
I think what makes his kiick so devastating is how he can put it behind someone's head. Most fighters are not used to being hit there or defend that until you get into ultimate.
He had more than spinning kicks. He had ridiculous power in his kicks and HANDS, and had a chin of Iron. Not sure if that is repeatable. Like Bruce Lee, one of a kind.
It's interesting to watch his fights. His style is very unique and it has me thinking of trying to add some of his spinning combos in my arsenal of moves 🤔 Nicely done 👍🏼

As a recovering addict, this reminds me of something everybody use to say; "why don't you just stop?". I have a feeling everybody tells his opponents, "why don't you just watch out for the spinning back kick?". LOL
Lawrence, I absolutely love your breakdowns. Truly I do. But I would really love it if you started looking at some newer talent like Tawanchai P.K. Saenchaimuaythaigym. This kid is young, powerful and has technically beautiful kicks and punches. I've seen other youtubers break his work down, but you are the go to channel I always check for the best breakdowns.
Also would like to see you break down the fight between Rodtang and Superlek. Thought Rodtang had that one when he cut Superlek, but Superlek really had the heart of a champion and pulled out that win. Too good of a fight not to have a Lawrence Kenshin Striking Breakdown.
@@ChessGrandBassTurd I lack Lawrence's skill in recognizing the patterns and techniques in fighting. I am learning and starting to understand them. But honestly, nobody would want to hear a layman trying to break down a fight. But thank you for the vote of confidence. 😊
@@ChessGrandBassTurd right famo like "I would like it if you did this specific video for me" like pledge $100 or so on his patreon etc he will probably cover what you want - other wise just 1 of 100,000 people asking for different stuff while contributing nothing
Tawanchai is overrated. He got knocked out by some random Chinese guy a few years back, got completely pieced up by Sittichai and had a very dodgy decision win over Smokin Jo Nuttawat.
Can you put the guys name in the title of the video? I didn't know who he was before this video and just in case people don't click the video you should put it in the thumbnail. Peope should still learn his name. He deserves that.
In the 70's and 80's most fighters had one or two specialised kicks. Nowadays, fighters have a wide range of techniques, Muay Thai fighters are renowned for the Leg/Sweep and turning kicks. So if you can beat this style then you could be a great
Thanks for doing this. I'm not the biggest sport fighting guy but not an ignoramus. Had no idea Gibson was so talented and dominant over the muay thai world when those guys were eating all comers. What a well kept secret.
I saw him for the first time in this video and this man is, above all, a sportsman. This is the true power. The boys that refuses his glow touches are not fighters, they are angry childs. I had great respect and will never forget his name.

😊 I met this guy at a karate tournament one time... he just came from winning in Mexico, and me and him were hanging out the entire time of the tournament. We were exchanging back and forth about martial arts and *berry gordons the last dragon" and how he originally was to play in the movie as star but turned it down.. he eas wearing the belt he just won in mexico... He also stated that he was the boxer "sugar shame nosleys brother" but when i review mosley life 25 years later it states he only has 2 sisters.. but this guy was kool and if he reads this hey waddup!! He saw me as the best in the world at the time.. i appreciate him hanging with me
Look at how natural he looks. In his physical conditioning. Every single person in the UFC is on something. Nobody looks like those guys. Not even boxers. TJ Dillashaw was competing with 5 percent body fat.
With kick boxing rules applied to a Muay Thai fighters we can’t say this guy is superior because Muay Thai fighters has fought with limitations on a unfair fight
I will acknowledge that the Thai fighters were limited to a certain degree, but that doesn't mean that Mason had it easy. He is basically doing the same few circular moves repeatedly, and all of those legendary Thai fighters knew how to counter those attacks. The leg kicks alone normally shut down most karate and taekwondo fighters who use a bladed stance. The reason Mason was able to win is because of his freakish athleticism and precise timing. Andy Hug had similar success with his Karate style vs Thai kickboxing style. Mason admitted that Thai kickboxing is the best style. His unorthodox style mixed with his precise timing is the reason for his success in my opinion. Ernesto Hoost is the greatest heavyweight Kickboxer of all time and had a significant size advantage over Mason. His leg kicks immobilized Bob sapp and he had to be carried away. Mason absorbed all of that punishment and went to war with Hoost. Fighting under kickboxing rules can't be an excuse.
All I need is this absolutely fire opening track! we ALL NEED IT! I love both Bruce and Manson, but all I can pay attention to is this music. For the love of god man, What is it???????
Learning capoeira for years make me formless. I can fit into any fighting game even though i didn't learn it well. I didn't win but i can give some fight into it
I saw him live at his second fight with that Thai fighter in the casino in Compton. He was known as Master blaster Gibson. I practice spinning strikes because of him.
I use to be his student and before then I never knew he was this popular. It's sad to see him today living homeless in Chicago on alcohol and drugs, it hurts my heart! I don't even know if he's still alive right now. The last time I seen him was during the second year of the pandemic on the 47th street bus here in Chicago. I had gave him $10 and bought him some Popeyes chicken. I hope he is still alive and some how getting help and rehab! He was one of my favorite teachers and when I spared with him I couldn't hit him for my life. Hey I guess none of us truly escapes the curses of Ya'ohsharal (israel) it doesn't matter how big you become or how much money you make black slave descendants of Israelites will always fall victim to these curses Ya'ohיהוה has put upon us. Thanks for Honoring one of my best teachers I have ever trained under. SHALOM!
He boast himself so much and was very cocky looks like he disrespected the sport at the end ......he should of not be so confident a champion dont care about the wins and knock down their opponents without showing some respect as a sport.....muay thai is all about respect when you see your opponents weak and down you dont keep beating them and boast yourself because then its not called sport its called savage barbaric acts......good luck to him hope he heals and get better....
So this guy is as good as the guy who never officially finished studying any martial art, not Wing Chun, not Taekwondo, not Boxing and never actually fought anyone in any official observed and mediates fight, bravo?
what is this channel now? it used to be pretty good technical breakdowns. with the thumbnails and the Bruce Lee bait it's looking more like kickboxing clickbait for the casual mma fan. in reality this guy could stomp Bruce Lee to death easy, he fights full contact Muay Thai. Bruce Lee had good ideas but he was a camera fighter. so the Bruce Lee comparison is kind of an insult. there's good info in these if you watch them but to a person like me, who doesn't know nothing about kickboxing and Muay Thai, outwardly these videos look like they're for people at the very base of striking sports knowledge. so I pass over most of them.
Can't believe Black Bruce Lee beat so many Muay Thai legends with spinning kicks and spinning fists...

It's crazy how there's always the search for the best style or move, but there's a counter to every style and every move. In every sequence, he gets his range and starts his spin. It's either coming straight middle or hook high, and it's just a guessing game of what to block. So you get close right? A little closer means spinning backfist. A lot closer means a side kick in your gut. He's super physically talented, strong, agile, flexible, excellent balance.
What is interesting is he really only kicks with the right leg. If his right leg is back, he is going to spin, if right leg is forward, he is going to side kick. What is insane is that all of these fighters probably knew that, but still couldn’t stop him
That's because he practiced that one kick 10,000 times instead of two kicks 5,000 times each. 🤣
Major weak spots
@@davewang202 Hah, so that means Bruce Lee must fear him.
It’s the deceptive footwork
You'll look for that kick and then he'll throw a punch... and then he throws the spinning kick, and you're like, Dang, that was fast! lol

This kid is young, powerful and has technically beautiful kicks and punches. I've seen other youtubers break his work down, but you are the go to channel I always check for the best breakdowns.
Also would like to see you break down the fight between Rodtang and Superlek. Thought Rodtang had that one when he cut Superlek, but Superlek really had the heart of a champion and pulled out that win. Too good of a fight not to have a Lawrence Kenshin Striking Breakdown.
Why don't you do it? Make a little side cash?
@@ChessGrandBassTurd I lack Lawrence's skill in recognizing the patterns and techniques in fighting. I am learning and starting to understand them. But honestly, nobody would want to hear a layman trying to break down a fight. But thank you for the vote of confidence. 😊
@@ChessGrandBassTurd right famo like "I would like it if you did this specific video for me" like pledge $100 or so on his patreon etc he will probably cover what you want - other wise just 1 of 100,000 people asking for different stuff while contributing nothing
Tawanchai is overrated. He got knocked out by some random Chinese guy a few years back, got completely pieced up by Sittichai and had a very dodgy decision win over Smokin Jo Nuttawat.
That was great to watch and good commentary. Thanks
Thank you for detailed breakdown 🙏🏻
thank you
Can you put the guys name in the title of the video? I didn't know who he was before this video and just in case people don't click the video you should put it in the thumbnail. Peope should still learn his name. He deserves that.
IRON NUTS.... LOL 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
In the 70's and 80's most fighters had one or two specialised kicks. Nowadays, fighters have a wide range of techniques, Muay Thai fighters are renowned for the Leg/Sweep and turning kicks. So if you can beat this style then you could be a great
This is what taekwondo couldve been
If they had added western boxing and low kicks it would have been
Olympic point style ruin them.
TKD was alright until the fkn foot fencing came along. I want to know who was the fkn idiot who was the root of that change.
100. They ruined a deadly martial art by turning it into a damn dancing around event. It's horrible
Sorry it's just true
Yes. I completely agree
Now that I've watched all the MVP fights, I know what I'm going to watch the next days 😁
It must be hard doing such powerful kicks in the ring with such heavy balls holding them down.
Great video! Whats the background music at the start of the video?
Thanks for doing this. I'm not the biggest sport fighting guy but not an ignoramus. Had no idea Gibson was so talented and dominant over the muay thai world when those guys were eating all comers. What a well kept secret.
I saw him for the first time in this video and this man is, above all, a sportsman. This is the true power. The boys that refuses his glow touches are not fighters, they are angry childs. I had great respect and will never forget his name.
These guys lose respect when they behave badly towards their opposition. It is good to see them shamed ,which eventually happens..
You had me at the iron nuts LOL 4:15
I remember Hoost back in the 90's, never heard of Gibson. Thanks for the introduction, amazing fighter.
In Muay Thai, the spinning back kick is called the crocodile tail strikes.
Manson Gibson uses Taekwondo. He seems to mainly use Taekwondo's kicks. It seems that he learned Taekwondo from a very young age. Taekwondo is a traditional martial art in Korea. I know it very well because I am a Korean, the birthplace of Taekwondo. His kicks are very popular in Korea, too. His kicking video has reached millions of views in Korea.
😊 I met this guy at a karate tournament one time... he just came from winning in Mexico, and me and him were hanging out the entire time of the tournament. We were exchanging back and forth about martial arts and *berry gordons the last dragon" and how he originally was to play in the movie as star but turned it down.. he eas wearing the belt he just won in mexico... He also stated that he was the boxer "sugar shame nosleys brother" but when i review mosley life 25 years later it states he only has 2 sisters.. but this guy was kool and if he reads this hey waddup!! He saw me as the best in the world at the time.. i appreciate him hanging with me
Look at how natural he looks. In his physical conditioning. Every single person in the UFC is on something. Nobody looks like those guys. Not even boxers. TJ Dillashaw was competing with 5 percent body fat.
Best presentation hands down. I watched this looong ago but I still feel the same way about it to this day ♻️
With kick boxing rules applied to a Muay Thai fighters we can’t say this guy is superior because Muay Thai fighters has fought with limitations on a unfair fight
Yes thats so true😂😂😂 Reduce Thai boxing effectiveness🙄
I will acknowledge that the Thai fighters were limited to a certain degree, but that doesn't mean that Mason had it easy. He is basically doing the same few circular moves repeatedly, and all of those legendary Thai fighters knew how to counter those attacks. The leg kicks alone normally shut down most karate and taekwondo fighters who use a bladed stance. The reason Mason was able to win is because of his freakish athleticism and precise timing. Andy Hug had similar success with his Karate style vs Thai kickboxing style. Mason admitted that Thai kickboxing is the best style. His unorthodox style mixed with his precise timing is the reason for his success in my opinion. Ernesto Hoost is the greatest heavyweight Kickboxer of all time and had a significant size advantage over Mason. His leg kicks immobilized Bob sapp and he had to be carried away. Mason absorbed all of that punishment and went to war with Hoost. Fighting under kickboxing rules can't be an excuse.
fantastic analysis...you did a great job
Any tool is useful if you know how to use it. Manson Gibson had become an expert.
Awesome video ❤
As Lee elaborated, be formless. Fighting is not about style, it’s about winning.
All I need is this absolutely fire opening track! we ALL NEED IT! I love both Bruce and Manson, but all I can pay attention to is this music. For the love of god man, What is it???????
Learning capoeira for years make me formless. I can fit into any fighting game even though i didn't learn it well. I didn't win but i can give some fight into it
He's fighting style in mine or a very much the same...... I don't know how I've ever not heard of this gentleman before
There was only one Bruce Lee . The man , the legend , the myth .... the Dragon
I saw him live at his second fight with that Thai fighter in the casino in Compton. He was known as Master blaster Gibson. I practice spinning strikes because of him.
Glad of seing one westerner person gaining the fights of Muay Thai Monsters
Those kicks are 100% Tae Kwon Do.
That's 100 percent correct.
It was very unfortunate that people didn't know Taekwondo.-from Korean
I loved k1 in early 2000, yet havent heard about this guy.. how is that possible??
Thanks for bringing him from underground :)
Wtf! How the eff have I never heard of this guy 😂
Be Water my friend! 💪🏼
I use to be his student and before then I never knew he was this popular. It's sad to see him today living homeless in Chicago on alcohol and drugs, it hurts my heart!
I don't even know if he's still alive right now. The last time I seen him was during the second year of the pandemic on the 47th street bus here in Chicago. I had gave him $10 and bought him some Popeyes chicken.
I hope he is still alive and some how getting help and rehab! He was one of my favorite teachers and when I spared with him I couldn't hit him for my life.
Hey I guess none of us truly escapes the curses of Ya'ohsharal (israel) it doesn't matter how big you become or how much money you make black slave descendants of Israelites will always fall victim to these curses Ya'ohיהוה has put upon us.
Thanks for Honoring one of my best teachers I have ever trained under. SHALOM!
He boast himself so much and was very cocky looks like he disrespected the sport at the end ......he should of not be so confident a champion dont care about the wins and knock down their opponents without showing some respect as a sport.....muay thai is all about respect when you see your opponents weak and down you dont keep beating them and boast yourself because then its not called sport its called savage barbaric acts......good luck to him hope he heals and get better....
@Strawberrytabbyforpresident ...there's always at least one, never fails!
That nut cup must be made of some incredible material. This video had me cracking up sometimes with the way you point certain things out
Why not put his actual name in the title? (Manson Gibson) put some respect on his name, he was an actual fighter, Bruce Lee was an actor.
wow ! most powerful fighter 👍️
everyone wanted to learn his style until you said it requires iron nuts. i wouldn't want to do that training
😆
I'm very convinced that bruce lee would be proud that this man used his techniques to their highest potential
So this guy is as good as the guy who never officially finished studying any martial art, not Wing Chun, not Taekwondo, not Boxing and never actually fought anyone in any official observed and mediates fight, bravo?
You re taking the piss Bruce Lee only lost one fight

The most interesting so far
what is this channel now? it used to be pretty good technical breakdowns. with the thumbnails and the Bruce Lee bait it's looking more like kickboxing clickbait for the casual mma fan. in reality this guy could stomp Bruce Lee to death easy, he fights full contact Muay Thai. Bruce Lee had good ideas but he was a camera fighter. so the Bruce Lee comparison is kind of an insult.
there's good info in these if you watch them but to a person like me, who doesn't know nothing about kickboxing and Muay Thai, outwardly these videos look like they're for people at the very base of striking sports knowledge. so I pass over most of them.
As a thai fighter myself I agree with you 110%
As much as I respect Lee's legacy Gibson could mop the floor with Lee's face.
Spinning kick is a double edge knife. The one who can use this kick to beat opponent on ring is really talented
he is not Bruce Lee and wil never be.
Better than Bruce Lee maybe for sure
*No one said he was! However, he was heavily inspired by Bruce Lee. FACTS.*
Bruce lee was an actor.
Thank you for this 👍🏽👍🏽
Those liver shots are brutal
What a treat. Thank you
Amazing fighter! Never hear of him! Thanks!!
Hey man,are you planning to make a superlek video? Id love to see one from you
I never heard about him when the black Bruce Lee beat so many people on the rings
Wow! Jamás ví un peleador tan espectacular!
As years go by, Gibson was getting more & more seasoned as a great fighter. By now, he has no more fear of any Muay Thai boxers
