Landing low-kicks against a trained fighter is not an easy task! This is a special follow up to "The Fight That Changed History." Duke Roufus tweeted, "Learn to turn weakness into a strength. At age 18 I saw my brother Rick get beat by low kicks by Changpuek. Fast forward broke 2 legs w/them." In Duke's retirement bout, he masterfully defeated his opponent with low-kicks.

Much respect for Duke Roufus. He dissed Muay Thai in the beginning, But instead of hating it forever, he kept an open mind, went to Thailand and learned from it.
That is what true martial arts is all about.
love to see how bitter he was before when his brothers leg was mutilated by a thai,and now,he knows better
He's living a lie... he knows how deadly kicks are, especially in Muy Thai but chose not to accept it.
NO, true Martial Artist shows humility, he never apologise for what he said, just went and learn more about muay thai low kick so he won't end up like his brother.
Yeah a lot of people need to take what he said with Context. His undefeated brother was demolished with the low kick by an Unknown. Of course he is going to say some ignorant things about it. He was mad. But as you said he put that aside and opened up his arsenal and learned Muay Thai.
fully agreed that's how someone gets to be a great fighter
This is the same guy who said "It takes no talent to throw a low/leg kick." hahaha
And now look, snapping legs with low kicks.
Marshall Banana Actually, Duke said that when his brother got slaughtered with leg kicks. Then he becomes this.
It is dumb, and I'm pretty sure Duke realizes it was a dumb thing to say by now. But, he's not completely wrong, I mean, it is harder to throw a picture perfect rolling thunder kick or something like that compared to a low kick. I think that Rick wasn't prepared to deal with low kicks (obvious statement), but his style of kickboxing wasn't the right to win that fight, even with all the restrictions to the Thai fighter. I really think that Rick COULD have won that fight (according to how it was going and the fact that he broke Changpuek jaw with the kick to leaping punch combination) if he wasn't so hard-headed and actually learned how to deal with those kicks, he knew they were coming, hence the restrictions to Kiatsongrit. His fault. American style kickboxing fault.
Tell me about it, I have been training to throw leg kicks after punches Mr. Perfect Hoost style and it has added a lot to my stand-up arsenal. Its crazy how easy you can chop someone's legs with 4 or 5 well-timed, well-placed leg kicks. But in contrast to high level kickboxing, where you will get knocked the fuck out if you throw a leg kick without setting it up, in MMA you can actually get away with some "unset" kicks, even in the highest level (If you have good TDD). On other note, its pretty cool and helpful to have a good, let say, spinning side kick or spinning hook kick on top of your other go-to, chopping, KTFO right away if you conect kicks. Its good to have a varied arsenal of weapons on the stand-up but you have to make sure that you don't throw anything untrained of half-assed or you'll be sent to lala-land.
You're a southpaw? Because I'm orthodox and I can't get the groove of that kick, I don't know if I should go Dan Henderson with it going no switch, just to set up a big punch or if I should go for a switch inside kick and fucking murder his leg with it.
This always makes me think of the Movie Kick Boxer, an American kick boxer gets demolished by leg kicks and his younger brother learns the art and becomes a legend himself!
+Hannibal Hawkwing what film is that?
+Hannibal Hawkwing the only thing that bothers me is that the protagonist doesn't use much of actual muay thai, it's mostly van damme's flying spinning shit he does in most of his movies, deserves a remake imho!
Regarding the remake, here you go: www.ign.com/articles/2016/09/01/kickboxer-vengeance-review
Kickboxer is inspired of these two brothers^^
joey longchasen kickboxer van Damme movie
Ive heard said that the best defence against humiliation is humility, and it takes a very humble man to kowtow to his opponents coach (particularly for westerners who aren't used to such displays). Another great video Mr Kenshin
This is awesome. We fight and if we lose we learn and become stronger.
There's a old saying in the martial arts world- you never lose a fight you only live die or learn.
Duke is a 6 times kickboxing and Thai boxing world champion, his brother Rick is a 8 times world champion
I guess that make them both below no-talented fighters, because Roufos got his ass kicked by a no-talented Thai fighter.
@6:39 Thats my coach, the cornermen talking to Duke! My Coach who also was an accomplished World Champion Kickboxer himself. Giuseppe "The Godfather" DeNatale. I dont know why Im so amused of seeing my coach on this channel even If im the only one who recognized him. Dope Channel man, keep making more. Hope all is well, stay safe & much love from Winnipeg Manitoba. Hopefully one day you'll make a breakdown of my own striking if I make it to the Center stage of Combat Sports (UFC, ONE, Glory)
I've trained Muay Thai for probably 6 years in that time I've easily sparred over 200 some rounds. I've taught for a combined 2 or so years. But I watch this and realize, I don't know anything. Their are geniuses in many categories. Some with physics or hitsory, some with acting or writing. Duke Roufus is a genius. In this world, he is one of the smartest human beings alive. Which makes it even stranger that when I met him through a friend, despite him and his brother being essentially to Muay Thai and now MMA all he did was say, "Hi, I'm Duke, how are you doing today?"
And I am forever grateful to have earned my black belt from his father and then train with with Duke in may thai for three years. I never took it for granted.
Scott Boyd bullshit
Derek Dean You’re right. You don’t know shit about Muay Thai
@@mightymouse652 How do you know that? xD
@@scottboyd2020 you do realise that Muay Thai has no belts right?
Even Duke's leg checks were badass. You rarely see folks recoil off a check like Eduardo did off his low kick attempt around 3:04. Duke's timing, positioning, and weight transfer into his left shin during that check were perfect, and that must have hurt Eduardo like a motherfucker. I'm fairly certain it that was me, I'd be doing the octopus dance on my right tibia there.
bad ass blocks
My legs hurt watching that block. Christ that was hard
Concerning striking martial arts it definitely is not merely how fast and hard you can throw a punch/kick, but also precisely when and where to throw it. No matter how hard or fast you can throw a strike timing will make or break you, and this guy is one of the many fighting talents who capitalizes on that knowledge.. Definitely deserving of his rep as a striking legend.
Great Video!
Can you do one on Dominick Cruz's footwork? These videos are awesome dude. Especially the hoost low kick. Just the best
it doesn't take much talent to kick someone in the legs.
Lmao
Hahah do you get the joke?
HAZMATIX EDITS lmao yea that's y I laughed.
HAZMATIX EDITS that's what he said after his brother got carried off on a stretcher
Aurash Habibi Yep!
6:27
This is why i love muay thai
This is the last chapter of a great story. Thank you!
Duke and is brother Rick are 14 times kickboxing and Thai boxing world champions,
Toniy Henriko awesome
Proud to call him my coach since 2012!
I love your fights analysis, so educational
Watching your videos got me thinking just one thing: "When i get back to training im going to make my low kicks SAVAGE!"
Thank you Lawrence, you educate the fighting world Osu!
whats really depressing is spending 2 Years on your jumping spinning hook kick only to rarely land it. A guy with one week of low kick THAI training would more than not defeat the experienced karate practitioner.Some of those arts have the most beautiful kicks and it takes alot of hard work to master them but when it comes down to it you have to look favors effectiveness in a combat situation. Saenchai incorporates alot of fancy kicks but he is not the norm.
1 week is a bit of a joke; more like a month. Karate/ ITF Taekwondo has good hand techniques. I do kickboxing (previously Western, but now I do K1) and sparred against an black belt karateka; they are quite defensive but once they get momentum they are tough. I tried to clinch him to stop him but he threw me to the ground. With Taekwondo they have good kicks and are fast.
what about when they are punched in the face? they loose composure imediatly?Same with kiokushin....tough like hell....but a punch to the face and the belt changes colours
+Chris Capozzi
Also, notice that the majority of Saenchai's "fancy kicks" misses. He doesn't generally use them seriously, but only perform them when he's playing around. Because, in reality, fancy kicks are not effective unless you're that much blindingly faster than your opponent, which requires a delusional mentality to think like that (e.g. TKD practitioners thinking they're "blindingly fast" relative to Thai fighters etc.).
+ronki23
You're incorrect, ITF TKD is light years behind Muay Thai in all aspects, including boxing techniques. I'm always surprised at how they throw their punches and kicks, their stance and their lack of setups.
You don't see a whole lot of high kicks in UFC anymore.
I wish someone would bring that style back.
My God, your analysis is incredible. Can't wait to read your book.
Some very interesting tricks I ought to try. Pushing people in particular is something I like the sound of.
I never comment on videos, but I had to say, I absolutely love your work, these are amazing.
I saw this fight live! It was absolutely amazing to see Duke Roufus do this!! 🤘
I just realized how often duke roufus and Anthony Pettis use the wedge.
Duke Roufus is the real life 'Kickboxer'; his brother got destroyed so he himself train Muay Thai
8:45 beautiful. He actually learn the true way muay thai
Love how you break down EVERYTHING. Awesome vids.
Man how the years pass eh kenshin?! Congrats over all these years!!
Learn, un learn, relearn that's what duke has done
Don't usually watch super heavy weights but that one...Wow. Great video. Love your breakdowns.
Never really saw duke fight expect In K-1 las Vegas so who do you think was better out if the two brothers Rick or Duke?!!
Duke more technical Rick better fighter
Rick Roufus Muay Thai skill at its best 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 excellent execution 🙏
Admiration here is the respect the winner does to the loser opponent. That's the heart of all martial arts " respect" which differentiate you as a man not an animal.
hi Lawrence. have you ever commented an Andi Hug K1 fight?
Duke mentioned his opponent passed away some time ago. Paid a small tribute to Eduardo Mariano in a recent IG post.
Very nicely done video of a true legend
damn fucking genius
Nice vid! Coupe u also do a vid on the barao dillashaw fight to explain dillashaws footwork and stuff like that. Thanks !
Lawrence Kenshin you should be an assistant director for fighting movies
I wonder if you could do a video on leading with leg kicks? Because I like to use mid-low kicks to keep distance but they leave me prone to getting rushed with punches. The only time I use kicks realistically is when I do head kicks after throwing a punch combination so would like to know how to use kicks for distancing, particularly low ones as i'm still on balance (if I use medium kicks i'm off balance!!)
I think it is kenshin that had a video on using the teep. If you use the teep and low kicks together they make it very difficult for your opponent to either check the low kick it catch the teep because they both start our in a similar motion with raising your knee. You can also throw a low kick and change it into a teep, like the question mark kick but with a teep instead of a head kick.
Hey lawerence . Why haven't u posted souwer vs petrosyan
Is this where they got the idea for kickboxer with John Claude Van Damme
Jean claude van damme
No that fake ass Frank Dux made it up. He probably jacked the story from the Roufus brothers.
leg kicks is science by its self...so many different way sot apply it!
Keep going , always interesting videos so far =)
do one on the dillashaw vs barao fight
I can see soo many things Anthony Pettis has taking and put most of dukes best tools into his arsenal
This fight is in winnipeg, my home town.
@ 6 min 30 sec i see what you did there Larry! And thank you!
What became of his brother after the loss to the Thai fighter?
Fantastic.
"It doesnt take much talent to kick somebody in the legs" yeah and I heard a certain Thai boxer smoked a "talented kickboxer" with simple leg kicks. Hmmmm just thinking.
Take what he said in Context.
His undefeated older brother just got demolished by a technique he had never seen before. His literally made that statement after his brother got loaded up in an ambulance.
The real moral of the story is that he buried his pride and traveled to Thailand and learned Muay Thai.
So give him a some Respect.
Respect duke.
Nice Video, great breakdown of techniques... Video editing needs some work tho.. and.. ;)
Description could use some work... The History of this video and how it applies to Duke is not clear... I.e. his brother losing to low kicks... does duke use them.. Who broke his legs, and why... Its all quite confusing...
lol... dude... his brother lost to low kicks. Duke consequently got really good at using them and ended up breaking two of his opponents legs in future bouts.
The video prior to this hows Rick losing to leg kicks. This video shows the evolution of Duke as a fight because of it.
6:27 tho 😜
His understanding is different!
YASSSSSSS…..>92-4
Before blue egg,…
Thank you ❤
The real dudes know who you are…
I was one of your early student, 😂
76 and blue mound hard as fuck crew. ,
Thank you, I was before pat, rose…….
Yup. CRO COP?
good shit duke!
nook sue cow the white warrior lol
“I’m more afraid of one kick practice a thousand times “ Bruce Lee
This Roufus’s brothers reminds me of Sloan’s brothers
Dope!! Video!!
Duke Roufus is Ben Askren's striking coach
Game bread…
Its kickboxing.not. Muay thai if he did muay thai he lose like his brother
Like that van damn movie
Where are the teeps Eduardo? He must not know much about Muy Thai or he'd keep throwing out teeps against an opponent as aggressive as Puke Doofus.
teeeeep
By this video, Duke is nowhere near the Kick boxer his brother is...
According to Roufos' stupid younger brother, Roufos also has no talent when he made multiple low-kicks that finally brought down his opponent in this match.
It's Roufus, ass hat, and he was only 18 when he said that about low kicks; ppl say stupid shit when they're young, your comment for example.
Kicking in the legs takes no skill. -Duke Roufus
So he has no talent or skill whatsoever.
Winnipeg convention center front row. Now give me my prize
Can't beat em, train and use their techniques. Funny how biased this guy was about low kicks, then he goes and learn it from the muay thai master himself.
Kind of the point of the video there buddy.......SMH !!!
Pat Barry's low kicks... Ouch
😍🤩
Meh, anybody can do a low kick to the legs.
He's not fighting real muay thai fighters
and leg kicks don't finish fights lol
ErrSweetestGirl i was sarcastic
Err, not very sweet at all, girl.
Duke"it doesnt take much talent to kick legs" Roufous
more like brute force against a scared....low cardio potential....with no specific set of skils guy.
save the theatrics for film school & jus show the damn fight uninterrupted -_- ....
There's a reason it's called a breakdown. If you want the whole unedited fight, all you have to do is search up Roufus vs Maiorino.
Duke Roufus,
Thirty four years ago, you were still insulting Muay Thai.
