Amazing, even against all these bigger opponents with longer reach, his ability to remain out of reach and close the distance in an instant is just pure GrandMaster Class
Alot of people i see training muay thai lack good footwork They are very grounded and Sanchai is the master of taking advantage of the loop holes in his own martial art
Crazy the amount of control he has at that speed to just barely slap the students with his strike. The dexterity in his legs is so admirable. It’s almost mesmerizing to watch him kick
Funny because even in demonstration, he is just fucking you up and if you try to go a little harder as payback for just been swept, then it's just going to piss him off and he is going to go to town on you. So you are basically just going to smile and take the gentle beating he is going to give you and be damn grateful for it. :-D
You're not wrong at all, but I really liked how he matched the level of the people he sparred. Some of the people he's against in this vid are obviously worse than others, and he paces himself to them, which is excellent. If he just went off on them, they won't learn anything, they'll be too busy trying to figure out what just happened!
some people say he's going harder than the other guys and that why he looks good. I say its the opposite he's just playing with them while they try with all their capacity to understand whats going on
Fantastic to see the true Thai spirit of 'Sanuk' or fun in Saenchai's sparring,you can see how much he really loves and enjoys it yet controls his aggression perfectly.These guys from Isaan are literally fighting for their lives as there is only dust and rice in the provinces of Northern Thailand,I love the people there as they are so genuine and kind/big hearted (jai dii!) Ajarn Saenchai is incredibly fast even now a little older,he strikes like a snake (ngoo) how fast must he have been in his younger days no disrespect meant at all? I've lived in Udon Thani,Isaan and Chiang Mai,North Western Thailand the real Thailand and just watching this makes me miss that place like crazy,Thai food is the best in the World aroy mak thii sut (in Thai) or as Saenchai would say sep lai lai dur (in Lao)!
What a Martial artist unreal how relax and fluid he move. One of the "BEST" Muay Thai fighter of all time and yet so nice and humble. Always enjoy watching him fights.
he should teach teachers how to teach what they teach to those they are teaching. Saenchai is like teacher goals, he doesnt take it serious he teaches in a encouraging blissful manner
This vid just makes me smile! Love the control and the Sportmanship and respect that is being demonstrated....great to see.....Though the title is misleading, this is Not sparring wars by any stretch of imagination
I love seminars. My gym featured one with Fabio Pinca about a year ago and it was an absolute blast. We'd love to have Saenchai come to NYC and show us some tricks.
2:07 isnt impressive because he landed, but because he landed it without hurting the other guy! he just clowned that whole round, too much fun to watch!
i don't understand the fascination with that thing. Technically, it's not even legal under the vast majority of kickboxing AND Muay Thai rules, but no one ever says anything for soem reason.
to me it is impressive because that mive has so much natural momentum that to be accurate with it so it hits the head but also controlled enough that it doesnt hurt the other person takes a lot of skill. or it looks like it does to me. i dont even mess with that cartwheel kind of shit lol i just stick with the basics. i didnt know it was illegal. is it a banned move or does it break some other rule like the hand touching the ground or what?
the second one you said, if a fighter touches the ground with a glove or knee or basically anything that isn't the feet, he's considered on the ground (either by slip or knockdown) and the fight is supposed to be halted. I would very well hope they wouldn't let him do that if it was explicitly banned, that'd be absurd, but even as it is now it's weird. What if he KOs someone with it and the guy issues a formal complaint? Btw, he has actually KO'd several people in sparring with this very move, which isn't exactly a nice thing to do.
not sure what your point is Stone High. We all know he's used it. That's not the discussione, the discussion is whether he should be doing it when it's not actually legal under most competition rules; certainly not under muay thai rules, you can find an article from Sylvie von Duuglas-Ittu which mensions this, and she's probably the most knowledgable in the west of actual thai rules, both written and unwritten. However you might say that depending on the particular kickboxing league rules wording, it may be a grey area (like GLORY rules).
GOOD GOD my man is taking is toying with everyone just like in the ring. Honestly it's awe inspiring to see him do anything, in the future id like to see more people like him
It depends on skill level too I think. The other guys haven't mastered their stance and techniques enough to throw them while totally relaxed like Saenchai does. So they end up really stiff and telegraphing their kicks that Saenchai can read a mile away. The last guy had better skill and control so he was able to relax and just play lightly with Saenchai.
The way he throws a leg/body kick then feints pulling his leg back, only to rechamber it for a push kick is fucking beautiful and I'm going to start practicing it right now.
I imagine it must be great for Saenchai. He's retired but revered and welcomed across the globe. He probably makes a decent living and gets to do what he loves every day among people who think he walks in water.
These NEVER get old. Lmao! He’s still doing the same thing in 2022. 🔥 Even when a dude is over a foot taller than him and outweighs him by 100lbs+ it’s always: “I wonder how and when Saenchai is gonna sweep and humble this guy?” 🤷♂️😂🙏
¡¡¡¡ SAENCHAI !!!! EXTREAMLY MODEST AND INTELIGENT PERSONALITY, dont need to mention skills and titles.. THE GREATEST FIGHTER EVER, REGARDLESS OF SPORT !!!!!!!! I hope that thanks to fighters like this and absolute SPORTSMASHIP BEHAVIOUR and SUPREMACY OF SKILLS and ART, MUAY THAI CAN BECOME EVEN MORE APRICIATED ¡¡¡¡ GREAT REGARDS, MUAY THAI 4LIFE !!!!

I call him the father of Muay Thai. Not as a creator but like an awesome dad. He looked like a guy playing with his kids in this sparring session
So true! I love that attitude. Makes it a great experience for everyone involved. No ego.
Then it should be muay thai dad.
even against dudes towering over him hah
But it's not really Muay Thai, This is more Karate.

Damn hes soo fluid. Makes reads in an instant and remains super calm.
that is true master.. imagine if he get into UFC...
Indeed, he would murder people in the cage.
I heard rumor he's training with tristar in Canada so maybe soon?
He’d do good in the UFC. But he’s not a better striker than Connor Mcgregor. Idc what people say
Darion Collins i disagree but there's only one way to find out! It'd be an exciting fight either way.
They are sparring with respect and fun.
Exactly. There's a martial arts proverb that goes like this: Sparring is a conversation, do not turn it into an argument.

Rename the video: Saenchai vs humans.
LemonNation HAHAHAHHAAH
Kkkkkk
Saenchai vs mortals
You mean saenchai versus slow trash
No matter how big they are, they kept going down.
this is like rap battle and saenchai always have a good comeback.
and the people around says "ooooooooooeeeee"
Firouz Karim ooooiiii
Love the analogy 👍
Supa Hot Saenchai! 🔥🔥
Rap battle ? U truly are like some rap knowledge man
oooouuuweeee
See this is sparring, he could easily beat every one of those opponents but chose to teach them. Such an inspiration.
there's no challenge so there's no need to beat them.
That’s my point, he is teaching them not beating them. Cos he know he could so easily
He lifts his knee and you don't know what's coming, a roundhouse? Teep? Side kick? Switch flying knee? Genius.
ใช่ครับ from every directions
@@ryneagheilim9782 No, sometimes he jump up but kick you leg XD or when he duck, but his kick rain from above XD.

@@RicoMKD think he meant sanchai
Beautiful, humble and has a great sense of humor that's champ
it seems like a liability to use kicks against this guy! he just catches and trips them all.
Not really teep to the thigh, liver, or head will surely stop him. An axe kick will chop him just as a spinning back kick
They arnt kick hard or fast enough easy catch

Awesome to watch him with students!!!
saenchais range is so great, he often doesn´t pull his head back - he just waits until the punch is pulled back!!!
0:58 that's the quickest question mark kick I've seen. Goodness!!
Bruce Lee’s was way faster
This guy is something else
Its amazing giving this opportunity. They can say they sparred with the best.
He always fighting with love.
He makes it look easy.. so damn easy. What’s more is he’s having a great time and so are the sparring partners
4:28 when your sparring your little brother a bit but then you have to go soon.
The flex and the Power of this guy Kicks is amazing!
10/10 fighter!
I’ve been doing Muay Thai in Ireland for 4 years and I meat him in are gym and teaches me a lot of things he’s awesome
Das sind gute Sparrings ! Keine übertriebene Härte , lehrreich und unterhaltsam zugleich 😊
Und keiner nimmt sich zu ernst.
Ganhei a noite com esse cara se divertindo junto da galera

You can’t help but smile watching a high level elite Thai fighter spar
this is literally how he fights western fighters lol its all a sparring session for him.
Let's say "USA" fighters.
+jxk13 No, no. Western in general.
No, no. USA, not Western. Just because USA has a lower kickboxing level, the rest of the Western world doesn't have to be.
He was beaten by a Frenchman.
master cobra he's knocked out many western fighters like nothing these guys would all get destroyed in a real fight against saenchi
Saenchai’s speed is fantastic, and he is extremely good in fast counterattacks...
The last guy is a perfect example of how you should spar with Saenchai
Be light and have fun

What a gift to the world this man is.
So playful...yet so deadly
Gotta love saenchai
Never seen someone more skilled he is just stellar.
What an honour to get to spar with this legend
The last guy was the most genuinely nice spar partner he was testing out and having fun even Saenchai saw that i think
those sparring wars are hilarious
like a comment I once read said "teaching humility with a smile"
The interesting thing is that the people he's sparring are not bad at all its his mastery that makes them look shabby. This man is king.
Seems like a kid just having fun. It feels like everyone just feeds off of his energy.
so fluid and natural. Incredible talent forged with hard work = Saenchai
I love to see this guy. He has soul.
He get alot of fun while fighting haha thas so good to watch.

Ryne Agheilim 😭😭😭
Wow these kicks are absolutely crazy !!! 🤯
The speed of that left question mark...
He's southpaw, would be surprised if his dominant leg wasnt quick.
I love how he does that jumping low kick. Really tricks the tall people making them think that he's trying to get their head.
Cool that all level fighters were given this opportunity.
