Great video, Lawrence. Samart is truly the greatest. He and Dany Bill are my two favorites.
cheers brotha
Yo yo yo what's up kenshin.thank you brother for uploading this video.excellent! and thanks bro.😀💥
Hey man, I have a huge favor/challenge. Hard 2 Hurt channel thinks he invented a new move. Here’s the video:
ruclips.net/video/1vS6ts-jYcs/видео.html
I told him that I’ve seen Thai Fighters and Greko Roman wrestlers(Randy Couture) use the dirty boxing move. I already gave him examples of the cross-collar maneuver but I really don’t have as much footage of MT as you do. If you’re up to it, can you enlighten us on where the dirty boxing move originated from?
@Watson Wallace Anantasak was a savage!
As a professional translator (Thai and English) myself for nearly 30 years, I feel obliged to commend the one who translated this. Great choice of words. Concise and accurate. No single details lost in translation which is very hard to achieve.
Exceptional job indeed.
Thank you for your input. Particularly speaking on such a controversial topic with the potential for corruption such as deliberate ‘loss’ in translation, concise, direct and accurate translation is paramount. So few are in your position - to validate, or to counterfeit, the quality and accuracy of translation. So thank you, from the heart of a Westerner, but a real fan of the combat arts. Even those sadly lost to time and money. 🙏👍🏻👊🤝
met him at my gym. he did what he said here. all he did was teach us the basics for hour an half. It was an honor to meet this legend!
beautiful
which gym is it and was it affordable? Im thinking about going to Thailand too
i tried to do the alligator swing its tail and i fell down the stairs. lesson learn dont do it in a high place
@@SharkByteOfficial It's Samart Payakaroon gym located in Bangkok, Saimai. The price is affordable, around 15 USD per session (2 hours).

Samart, my muay thaï Idol when i was 13..
I'm 44 today and still my Idol for other reasons now.
Big respect and love from France ❤️😎🤴
I fucking love this man. The way he fights is so beautiful and effortless. His technique is phenomenal. his sense of distance is otherworldly. Legend
You're absolutely correct. :)
Agreed. His space/opportunity management was special. Insanely good footwork that made it all work.
I had the honor of spending a few weeks at Samart's camp. So true what he said about basics. He was insistent on teaching basic steps, punches and kicks in a way that really reminded me of karate or TKD. It was a very different experience from other camps where trainers gave you a hard workout on pads. You can really tell Samart's passion and dedication to pass on his country's martial art...
That first 30 seconds when the guy transitioned to a spinning heel kick... he was so confident it wasn't connecting that he didn't even blink as the foot sailed by probably 1cm from his face
"you can teach them everything, but they must dare to use it in the ring.. those are the ones who become great"...
Word 💯
Most wonne becom rich .thats the story he tells
This is ahat shows champions in MMA and BJJ too. The competitor who confidently imposes his or her will is typically more dominant and threatening.
Grace Gundrum
Demetrious Johnson
Jose Aldo
Rose Namajunas
Kron Gracie
All these bad fighters (and many more) have had moments when their opponents aren't trying to beat them but are trying to not lose while the pressure mounts.
Love these documentaries. It’s a breath of fresh air how humble these great Thai fighters are, where as western boxers for instance are really big headed and constantly trash talk.
Indeed humility
The "big headedness" and smack talking are just part of the show. It is how to entice fans to get more involved.
@@SlickRick4EVER No, I think they are genuine. Professional boxing is unforgiving. Usually if you lose once, you become a nobody, and it's really hard to get back mentally as well because of the discouraging defeat.
I think to be a boxing champ you need crazy amounts of confidence. You need to believe you are the best in the world or have some other way of dealing with the pressure. That's why a lot of top boxers seem weird or like cocky jerks at first glance. Humility can lead to second guessing yourself and losing of confidence, and you will crumble under the pressure.
I'm Thai, and I know that this exists in Muay Thai as well. Every great Nak Muay is very confident, they just don't display it because it would be bad for their image in Thailand.
Conversely, it is often good for western boxers' image to display their confidence openly.
It is just a difference of culture. I don't think either are bad. I think the core values of fighters from every different combat sport are roughly the same.
Most Thai fighters if not all are humble men.
They started from the bottom
SlickRick4EVER it’s part of the show yeah but why not be like GGG or rocky marmorino and entertain in the ring. Rocky used to just say the words I will try my best, trained like a killer and the rest is history. Boxing is indeed a business rather than a path to greatness for most fighters.
I've never heard of this man until my cousin told me about him. This legend is an artist of combat.
true legend
Samart Payakaroon, my favorite and best ever Nak Muay! This video has more knowledge and wisdom than most of us ever learnt in school. Thank you for this Lawrence you really made me happy! 🙏🏼❤️
นักมวยเก่งๆมีคำพูดสุดยอดประโยคเดียว.. เก่งหรือไม่เก่งอยู่ที่ไอคิวพรสวรรค์ของตนเอง... ครูแค่แนะนำแนวทางให้เท่านั้น.... เรื่องจริงที่สุด
Sylvie von Duuglas-Ittu prioritize the basics and she is always telling how important it is(all the golden era Thais sai the same thing) and it makes me so happy to see you making a video of the legendary Samart talking about it. Thank you so much for the beatiful work.
you want to talk about sylvie ?
write to me .
i have lots i can say .
i am deep clinch !!!
I had the privilege of training under this legend. It was an experience that I will never forget. Thank you all that you have taught me Samart Payakaroon.
thats awesome
wow this guy is a real deal old school Muay Thai fighter legend, his the execution of his techniques combined with his distance and timing is simply phenomenal
unparalleled
i write comment on the internet not often but i must say this time . your each video awesome. a short 15 min video gives a lot of feeling like watching 1,5 hour whole good quality movie . and i dont know why but specially on your old fighter interviews i end up with cry . so touchy. i feel true mean of being kind heart human being. i love Thai people and your perspective the way how you connect with them and able to capture their soul to present us .. Hope one day you come up with a cinema movie :)) like Beautiful Boxer
Samart is simply the greatest champion of Muay Thai and I respect him a lot. This man is the spirit of true muay Thai. Also I can say he was a great champion in traditional boxe.
Great video thank you.
yes amazing spirit
This was really awesome and sensational. It should have millions of views. How can we get it to achieve that?
do share it with your friends :)
@Prodal Boran Khmer thank you
Awesome stuff man... It's great to get that kind of insight from Ajarn Samart Payakaroon. I know it probably wasn't easy to get him to sit down with you so... I really appreciate you sharing that with us. Samart is one of my heroes... I've studied his fights for a long time and I pray that someday I will have the honor and pleasure to train with and learn from him.
def not easy! thx for the love!
Legend of all time 🇹🇭, Grandmaster of Muay Thai.
As a Thai and used to be a boxer when I was young I confirm that Samart says the truth and I 100% agree, business makes some part of this kind of art disappeared
thank you for sharing
Yes 😢
Khun Samart, a true legend, both inside AND outside the ring... What an inspiration.!!
Having that mad extra drive takes natural talent too. It's what seperates all time greats/champions from the usual hard work. Floyd's motto of hard work and dedication applies to all of us but that ultra-instinct in the ring and being overly competitive that's just a handfull of them. Not to mention his work ethic is not simple hard work, it's training with obsession (from mastering basics day in day ouy, conditioning, strategy) and it takes natural talent/genes too to tap that gear too. Samart is just being honest, either you have IT or you don't.
Thanks for this one Lawrence Kenshin! Legend!
true so true but even Mayweather has benefited from "gambling" his controversial wins over Castillio, De La Hoya, Maidana and Judah( should have been DQd when trainer entered the ring before the round was over)
No I don't think the drive or work ethic is a talent per se, or if it is it's a separate one from being talented at must Thai or whatever it is. That can be taught
@@joesheridan9451 its not a gift or talent its better over time it can improve a person far more than just being: talented/gifted with out the work ethic. The true wonders are the happy combo of both work and gifts, but they are rare. When gifted or naturally more skilled its easy to fall into not having to try as hard because they can so often people talents get squandered.
Actually, that's pretty unhealthy.
Wow. I couldn’t imagine what it must feel like sitting in front of and just chatting with a master of that caliber. This is awesome.
Yeah Sir! This is what I really wanted!
Unfortunately there's no many channels who makes the same on my language. Many people don't know about Gold Age of muay thai, about greatest fighters, about that fame. Thank you for this video!
Keep the beautiful art and lineage of muay Thai pure and let the knowledge be passed down generations after generations.
And I thought I knew everything about Samart. This is just another level. Thank you for the upload.
Thanks for posting this I've been telling my friends and people I talk to about this and they think I'm just hating on Muay Thai when it comes to the clinching. Then I tell them the GOAT said it and because the interviews were obscurely placed on the internet no one would do their diligence to find it.
really appreciate it!
The greatest stand up fighter period of all time!
No matter how high level you are in any sport. Basic fundamentals never go wrong with.
Samart, somrack, saenchai, lerdsila... Muay thai is beautiful !
he just flows in the ring... it is really an art...
So true! The art of Muay Thai seems lost, as the gamblers have almost destroyed it. I completely agree! Excellent video. Always enjoyed watching, highlights, of Samart. Keep up the great content! Thank you MUCH. Ciao. From Venice, Florida, USA...
no !
when they did away with tai na .
the sport when down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a well spoken person🙏
I will try to inherite and integrate those qualities/wisdom you shared with us Sir especially the Humanity part.
Thank you Legendary Samart Payakaroon.
Hope to meet you one day🙏
The ugly side of Muay Thai in Thailand, I'm so happy that Muay Thai has expanded to world wide audience because it will save the beauty of Muay Thai from the greedy, dirty gamblers.
🙏🙏
Basically, Thai people can gamble on everything, literally everything.
cockfight, cricket, fish, beetle you name it
Gambling could be a part of everything, cuz people make it.
BUT!!! Gambling should not interfere any sport.
@Hello There Dieselnoi said Gambling wasn't an issue during their time because the Mafia / Gangsters in charge forbid it. They were allow to gamble but had no influence in the decisions.
That was all until the assasination of Dieselnoi's boss (apparently by the army). After that, the army took control and slowly but surely gambling influence seeped in and now it has completely dominated the main stage arena's in Thailand.
Farm villages still have traditional muay thai at their fights but when these prospects move to the big cities to fight in the stadiums they need to adapt and are forced to focus clinch to appease the gamblers. Terrible.
It is not as ugly & evil as you all thinks....... others than training foreigners(gym tuition fee/hostel fee/private class), betting on your own fighter & take a small percentage of fight purse is how the gym makes money in Thailand... if the gym didn’t bet on their fighter it’s impossible to make ends meet, the fight purse in Thailand is crazy little money......(btw Thai fighters can keep a large portion of their fight purse, training,food & accommodation are all provided by the gym) so it’s destroying Muay Thai in a way that all flashy Muay Boran techniques that are risky are not allowed to perform in fight !!! trainer even didn’t bother to teach it to their fighters... the gym might lose money if accidents happens 🤣🤣🤣
@@Animefightforum this sounds like something straight out of a police drama. so interesting...
2:38 ONE CHAMPIONSHIP MADE IT! Clap for Chatri.
Please keep up with the documentaries. These are the only way we ‘farang’ can learn these stories. And they are incredible.
เอาในทศวรรตเลยดีกว่า อาจารย์มาด เก่งที่สุดเท่าที่นักมวยไทยคนนึงจะเก่งได้แระ ร่างกายฟิตเปรี๊ยะ ปอนด์ต่อปอนด์ ชกกับใครก็ไม่แพ้ครับ เก่งที่สุดแล้วครับอาจารย์
That made me scared shitless when he said that no one teaches real skills now,just plain ol clinching and power shots
I like your description. Very much in-depth knowledge. Bravo.
ปัจจุบันนี้ถ้าเราไปชกต่างประเทศส่วนมากจะแพ้จะมีมวยไทยไม่กี่คนที่มีคุณภาพพอจะออกไปขกต่างประเทศได้ ผมไม่คิดว่าต่างชาติเก่งกว่าแล้วมันจะเสียหายนะถ้าเรามองอย่างเป็นธรรมศิลปะมวยไทยใครใช้ใครฝึกใครทำได้ดีก็ชนะไป ถ้าต่างชาติจะสืบสานมวยไทยให้คงอยู่แทนคนไทยเราก็ต้องยอมรับนะ
ขอบคุณคุณสามารถมากจากบทสัมภาษณ์คลิปนี้ทำให้มองเห็นสภาพวงการมวยไทยสมัยนี้ว่ามันเปลี่ยนไปจุดเปลี่ยนต้องชี้นิ้วไปที่กรรมการก่อนเห็นด้วยครับทุกอย่างครับคุณสามารถสมัยเป็นนักเรียนมัธยมก็เคยเห็นแต่คุณวิชาญน้อย พรทวีซ้อมอยู่ทุกเย็นเพราะบ้านอยู่แถวนั้นรู้แต่ว่าแกเป้นมวยหมัด
สุดยอดครับ
จิงด้วยล่ะแบบนี้
It’s been so long since those Thai legends who were in the same golden era. We don’t have any boxers holding the belts in our country anymore 🥲
An amazing man, in and out of the ring.
This is a true story. We destroy our martial arts with our own hands.
that's sadness thing
thats deep brother
too much stupid soyboy, leftist who think they doing right thing at street.
want street like japan but don't know what is the contribution for it.
crybaby at street and think global media will caption "so sad this thai boy got no freedom", c'mon your country no force mask order and can go clubbing, you want
all peoples like in m'sia got nobody tell the truth of this plague hoax.
actually its the gamblers who is destroying it, so destroy them and it will be ok
@@damontan4749 it’s the greed that destroys it’s just like everything else

@@b136411 เลิศศิลาคับ สไตล์เดียวกับพี่สามารถ
It's kind of sad to see a great artist like him talk about the death of the art that made him who he is today. When someone like him acknowledges flaws in the way Muay Thai is handled today, the system really needs to be fixed.
there's beauty in it too
สามารถเป็นครูสอนดีที่สุด ทั้งเรื่องมวยและและๆๆๆ
มีเมียเด็กใช่มัจ๊ะ. 555
Every Thais know samart he s the real legend
Hope all is well on your side Lawrence. Take care dude. Stay healthy.
ผมแทบทุกสนามให้ต่อยกันอย่างเดียวศิบปะมวยไทยมีรับมีรุกนี่กรรมการให้ต่อยกันตลอดมึงถอยโดนเตือนให้ต่อยบางคนตัวเล็กกว่าฝรั่งแรงผะทะสู้ไม่ได้ก็ต้องถอยดักใส่อาวุธกรรมการเรียกให้ต่อยให้สู้หรือรักมวยบางคนตั้งรับเก่งแต่ถูกเรียกให้เข้ามาต่อยสุดท้ายแพ้น็อก มันเป็นการตลาดของเจ้าของสนามมากกว่า มวยไทยจึงขาดศิลปะที่สวยงามไป
6:11 One of my favorite teeps I've ever seen
not only MuayThai fighter he also be a good singer.
I’m glad that he is speaking his honest opinion. Combat sports have faced some very odd changes over the years and the benefits lay in the pockets of the promoters and endanger the physical and mental health of fighters. Having been to Thailand and trained there I kinda knew there was some corruption within the stadium community but had no idea it was this bad. When you look at how boxing and MMA is judged in the west now it’s pretty easy to see. Amazing video and a true legend of a fighter.
🙏🙏
Most fighting combat sports are rigged in some ways isn't it?
"Basica are the most important" and that ladies and gentlemen is why he is the goat
On the streets there are players but only one King!
thats alot of wisdom there. the system of judging contact sports must change. it should no longer be arbitrarily based on judges alone but should be reviewed via replay on video to have a conclusive judgement. cause it is really unfair for a fighter to lose base on arbitrary decisions from judges who could be biased.
indeed
ที่สุดแล้วของ มวยไทย สามารถ นี้แหละ
And a big ❤ is important
Holy shit I teach my friends Muay Thai the same exact way as Samart describes his teaching style. All basics, up to the fighter to become great.
Ofc Samart is the way better coach I'll probably never even come close to matching him but imma take this as I'm going in the right direction
Legend with no equal
ปัจจุบันนักมวยคนไทยเป็นแบบที่พี่มาดบอกทุกประการ วันที่มวยคนไทยจะสู้มวยคนต่างชาติไม่ได้มาถึงเร็วกว่าที่พี่มาดบอกอีก
A muay thai figther with ali footwork and headmovement, he was really ahead of his time
พี่สามารถ เหมือนออกมาแฉมวยไทยบางกลุ่มเลย รู้สึกอายกันบ้างไหมครับ
number one legend 😍😍😍😍😍😍
นี่แหละต้นแบบผมเลย ครูสามารถ โคตรตำนานมวยไทยที่ผมดูตั้งแต่ป2. ตอนนี้อายุ34ยังติดตามดูอยู่เลย รักมากครับ
ครับ..ถูกต้อง..
I would love to see a longer documentary
Talented AND extremely handsome
i am a fan many blessings
Yo Lawrence Kenshin ...josh Barnet has just given you a shout out on the joe Rogan podcast 15.15 minutes 👊😄
พูดความจริงเพื่อพัฒนาต่อยอดวงการมวยไทยโดยแท้ ขอให้สุขภาพแข็งแรงครับพี่มาด
Cheers
Hi Lawrence,
Awesome video as always 😁
Pls make a video on samart teacher too. I believe he deserves some credits too without his teacher there wouldn’t be Samart.
I appreciate if u can make his teacher 🙏🙏
เบอร์๑ในใจครับพี่มาด 👊👊💪💪
how did you get this translation?
It is very accurate with the idea of what he was talking.
Thankyou for this 🙏
ถูกครับ
พี่มาสพูดถูกจริงๆๆคับ
Bitsize interview but tons of insights. Thanks a lot.
Legend
Samart is brutal as hell.😉👍👍👍
🙏
@@LawrenceKenshin likewise as well my brother.
Thank you
ถูกต้องที่สุด..ผมนี่โคตร งงงง การให้คะแนน มวยห่าอะไร ชกยกสี่ ยกเดียว ชนะ บ้าประสาทไปแล้ว..ดูมวยสามยก มวย วันดีกว่าเยอะ ใครชกมากชนะ ดูรุ้เรื่อง
ใช่คับ ผมคิดถึงมวยไทย ในสมัยก่อนมาก สมัยนะทุกคนดูมวยเพราะลุ้นอยู่ตลอด มีลูกแม่ไม้มวยไทย สมัยนี้ไม่กอด ก้อเขาอย่างเดียว หน้าเสื้อดีมีไช ไปกว่าครึ่ง เหมือนชนะไป 70-80% ละ
One group that is coming strong are the Moroccans. People in the country just love this style of fighting whether it is Dutch Moroccan Style or pure Muaythai...Salam Alaykum from Casablanca
Thank you for this video.
cheers
Should do a clip on Somsong, another legend.
Great video.
Glad our Muay Gym here in the PH teaches their students well. I mean, they don't want the money just to teach students shitty moves but they teach based on what they learn. And everytime we meet with our elders and peers, we always greet them with respect (wai). We are not learning cuz we want to fight, we are learning to develop one's character. And that is what's important.
now to the Nak Muay Nation listen to what this legend CLEARLY states and that is you arent seeing true Muay Thai anymore that its about gambling so you guys that always say " you dont know the scoring system of MT" apparently they dont know either lol he clearly says the farangs will be beating the Thais in 5+ years at their own game now thats BS but still you get what he is saying lol
อยากดูมวยไทยจริงๆ ให้ดูฝรั่งต่อยกัน
Legend! Good video
นี้แหละวงการมวยไทย ไม่แปลกทำไมไม่มีคนดูนอกจากนักพนัน ถ้าเป็นแบบนี้บอกเลยครับวงการมวยไทยบาบายนะต่างชาติจะเก่งกว่าเรา
จิงคับ อยากให้เป็นแบบเมื่อก่อน อยากให้มีคนแบบ เฮียเหลาอยู่อีก ที่สามารถ จับกรรมการโกง นักมวยล้ม จนไม่มีใครกล้าล้ม จัดมวยต่อยข้ามรายการได้โดยที่โปรโมเตอร์ไม่กล้าขัด ถึงในมุมเรื่องอื่นๆเขาจะดูแย่ แต่ผมว่ายุคที่เขาอยู่ มวยชกสนุกมาก จัดมวยสูสีทุกคู่
He had to add in that caveat "natural ability is more important" nice save Samart, considering he was know as a lazy trainer but had all the natural ability in the world
Best Muay Thai legend ever
การพนันทำลายได้ทุกอย่าง
Thank you.
🤘😇🙏
