This is the real life Sagat.
Did you know that the Street Fighter character was inspired by a real life badass? Sagat Petchyindee is a legendary champ of the golden era of Muay Thai. He holds 11 title belts in Muay Thai, kickboxing and boxing with 150 KO wins in more than 450 fights, and has been practicing Muay Thai for half a century.
Just like the boss in the game, Sagat is larger than life. He is a natural showman in the ring, and has no fear of his opponent. At 62 years old, Sagat is still sprightly, playful, and ridiculously strong. He wants to keep fighting until he is 70.

Fahkumram is the new Sagat. At least, for me...
8:06-8:19 Very similar to Akuma's "Raging Demon" stance. Maybe he learned that dance from previous encounter?
Can I have a private with him in BKK?
Even at his old age, I dont see any winning againts him.
Muehehehehehe
And Wilfredo Gomez beat him in a boxing match. I am from Puerto Rico so I have to say it. Respect to both.
His heart is pure and innocent like a child
And at the same time a killer in the ring
Characteristics of a true legit warrior
Yeah. Its funny how it works like that.
Real life Goku
Those are often the deadliest fighters. The ones who keep their childhood innocence.
@@thaistomp Totally agree brother
All fighters are humble because they knw they can hurt u faster than ud knw what happened this man is one of them guys
i'm so happy you put his exact words in the subtitles and didn't make it 'correct' English. The way he expresses things in his own way makes it so much more beautiful.
agreed
I agree. It expresses his raw feeling and words.
His English is way better than my Thai...respect
@@usparatrooper8690 way better for sure
The way i see it, if you can't understand broken english. then you aren't really good at understanding people to begin with.
The word Legend does not even begin to describe this man
Hey now we cant just elevate this man to deity status...can we?
"What for scared? NO SCARED."
I will take these wise words with me everywhere I go
He had nothing to lose
@@MA-my2wu neither do i, my friend.
@virus killerism succumbing to fear is a little like losing yourself, isnt it?
Me: I'm scared
Sagat: why
Me: holy shit you're right
We did it boys, fear is no more
@@dariangregory6182 well if were being logical fear also keeps us alive partly from past experience or just knowing something bad is about to happen when you see it and this is coming from the person who says look past your fear and press on but that doesn't mean to discard it entirely thats just suicide
All these old fighters seem like such simple, sweet, kind, genuine people.
Peter Trzos It's because they don't need to prove themselves anymore
Being able to protect yourself sets you free
Fighting is just a job that pays bills 😅😅. They are normal humans like us 😇
All Thai People are kind and nice people...
@@4.5_shammer i am ashamed to have laughed at this comment..
Maybe I'm the only Thai-guy around here.So, i gotta say....
I'm so glad to see that most of the comments admire Khun/Mr.Sagat
this much. I really appreciate it guys,
i really do😊
450 fights makes him a expert on fighting patterns without a doubt. No idea how his opponents face someone with this many fights and actually have a decent strategy. Time to study.
"What for scared?" - Real Sagat
Macmittens411
That is a superb quote that should be made famous.
What for? indeed.
Yeah. What for? We gonna die anyway.
God
@@Veahp dad is dat u?
When i have money, everybody loves me,, when i don't have money, they don't love me anymore. That's why if somebody wants to love me they have to love my dog too, because soon i will be an old dog and they will still love me.
Mr Gabriel sad but beautiful.
@Mr I pretty straightforward brah.
@Mr I are you slow
@Mr I You fucking remedial
That life experience
62 years old and he is in great shape, physically mentally and spiritually. Thanks for interviewing this man.
I was surprised he didn't end up getting Parkinson despite of 450 fights! that's a lot of damage for sure
@@edwardhanna86 what is that
@@rienvernooy hiv
@@rienvernooy Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disease that causes a person to have their nervous system go haywire. Tremors or constant shaking of the body especially the arms, legs and head are constant. There’s a well known actor named Micheal j. Fox and the infamous Muhammed Ali has this disease. It’s either hereditary or obtained for obtained from to much Trauma to the brain. At least that the basics of it.
@@Jack_Krauzers He used proper defense! You could get brain damage from only one fight. Good defense will keep your brain protected. The newer Muay Bouk guys (Rodtang is a good example right now- keep in mind I'm a fan and not trying to insult the guy), though very good and always fun to watch, the way they can be so willing to eat hard shots is definitely going to have an effect on them later in life in one way or another
his smile an demeanor is child like but his body and mind is that of a man who has lived multiple life times. God Bless this warrior
compare him with the muscle boys at buffalo wild wings with tapout shirts on. the most dangerous warriors are humble and calm in confidence

You mean he's an old soul.
"Don't be seduced by fame when you're rising, don't give up when you fall"
@@angiewon9 oh 13 Coins huh I wonder who own that gym as 13 Coins is famous in the past as a "one of the old era western style restaurant" but now seem to focus on Muay Thai gym
I still went there to eat sometime as it cheap but never thought I was so close with the legend !
@@mickbotcastyea the restaurant is still there, I never noticed the gym there either. it is literally right next to the restaurant. super cool place!
@@angiewon9 I didn't even know Sagat was there! My family love 13coins as we often dine there since around 20 years ago. Cheap and reasonable price western food.
Sadly I heard that it seem like the successor only want to focus on Muay Thai gym but if the legend is there then I think it reasonable.
Wise words
His mother was probably one scary lady.
And his father is a Tiger.
@@ayara8157 Rumor has it, when sagat was born, his mother was forced to undergo a cesarean section, from the inside.
Hahaha! Sagats first tiger uppercut.
@sisuphos 55555
amanita333 because he is not scared of other fighters but he is scared of his mother.
450 Fights and still admitting he'd get shaky legs if Mommie gave him the stern face. That's mom power!
He love his mom for sure and put great respect to his mom, that is why he is a star.
@ people had their own opinions
@ -_-"
Mommie... thats cute lol 😂
A scary mom is quite normal in asia. Fighter or not. 😂
“Love me, love my dog” such a simple yet profound philosophy.
Jamie Friers He loves animals so you can be 100% sure he is a Good hearted Man !!!
I’ll love the dog but won’t take care of it

It is the title of a Thai song.
it means love me with all my quirks and faults
DANG! his father must be a hidden boss Capcom was very scared to release to the public.

It takes real Guts to say that huh.
@@tough5125 i see what you did there
Just like Capcom will never release the fact Balrog is really Mike Tyson
@@dealkenkade7303 he he he
He shows us all the meaning of,,, " Putting your heart into it,," whatever you want to be,or do with your life...cheers to you SAGAT..62 years young..
Hes now the most wholesome , honest, unique and most strong person i ever seen in real life or in a screen, watching this video brings me pure joy.
My new favorite person too, and new face inspiration for when I go at the bag
I learned a lot from this. Spiritually
13:36 Look how he went for advice to the monks after his 9 loses and came back with 9 wins after he trained harder that before... This man is a real life anime character and example that hard work and training pay off.
You and Sylvie are saving the culture of muay thai, the legends will live on through your videos and the legacy will be preserved.
who is sylvie?
Sylvie Von dugglas ittu
She is a pro female foreign fighter in thailand, making some training videos mainly with golden age legends. She is a good reporter and a very good fighter (250+)
go watch it if you don't know it ;)
have a nice day
@@neobebe9346 I hope one day to find someone or something to love as much as Sylvie loves Thai boxing. Her passion is infectious.
@@neobebe9346 thanks sounds interesting, ill check her out later
@@Rio-ke9he make sure you do! consider joining her patreon, for 5 dollars a month you get access to insane amounts oftraining footage and several videos where she makes this "Bawang" noise to indicate a hard hit landing, both are well worth the price of admission
He wants to fight at age 70 against anyone 50 or older. No where near 50 and I wouldn’t dare fight Sagat lol. This was amazing! Thanks!!
I put my bet on Mike Tyson
@@angahbg9089 mike says he doesn't want to fight anymore! And it's scary. I am not defending this guy but just stating facts.
@@angahbg9089 Now that Mike is fighting again, honestly I think Mike would put up a good fight, but if Muay Thai rules are allowed, Mike would get demolished. Those low kicks, and clinch fighting would eventually get to him, and wear him out. Sagat would just need one solid kick to end the match after wearing him out.
To be fair anyone who knows he's the real Sagat would not fight him let's be honest here
Even behind a screen this man expresses so much "life". He makes me want to train with him.
LaPoluzZz
You can feel his aura is very strong and real
wow never knew he ever met Luang Poh Khun, I remember when I was like 8-9 years old, went and help and serve Luang Poh Khun with one of his temples some where deep in the forest with my grandma what a blessing time that was.
Did you see the dude hit that bag at his age! Damn...the speed was unreal.
yeah, I'm not taking him up on the 1 million baht challenge either!
Especially his elbows!! Those cutting motions are sleek as hell!!

@@druwood1 if you are relying on a sucker punch, then maybe. But even then you would get slept before you started. There's a revolving theme around "tough guys" like you
this guy seems like he has a literal heart of GOLD. Genuine, passionate, compassionate. A rarity.
Gold is heavy. This man's heart is light and free.
CAPCOM where you at?! Sponsor the man!
Give him a cut already am I right =)))
Someone should make a GoFundMe or something for him I would definitely throw in for that
Legit. Pay this man. The character, alone, inspired many without even knowing it.
this post deserves more upvotes
Lol capcom is shit
ah man, this makes me miss Thailand so much. Out of everywhere I've been in the world, I had the most fun with Thai people - "sanuk" is genuinely a part of their make-up. Never have I been anywhere that people are more forgiving of foreigners butchering their language, and more able to say so much with so few English words. He reminds me of so many amazing people I met over there - easy to laugh, but don't cross them as they're hard as steel when they need to be
. Been a long time now since I was last there, so thank you for posting this - for a little while it really felt like I was back. I especially miss how good their onomatopoeia is... *bak!* :)
Yeah in Thailand I met a whole bunch of wonderful people you'd have to be an IDIOT to f___ with
I am not a figher, nor do I practice martial arts. But it is impossible not to deeply admire the people featured on this channel, their sport, their art and culture, their way of life. Very motivating also for a bystander like me, really awesome!!
Same!
Wow this was much better than expected. What a story. 👊
So, so much respect. So humble, but so great. I introduced Muaythai into Singapore and opened the first club with Colin with the first public championship fights for years and now flourishes. Really difficult times then, but great times, before I left for home after 25 years in Asia. It was humbling to be with such great and humble men and now at 75 I love to see these RUclips documentaries such as this. Thank you.
super respect!
How can you not love this man. His story and life are amazing, such a joy to watch.
I want to move to Thailand to train with him I like his mindset and style
Make sure to find out if he's there. I know he also trains kickboxing at Tristar gym from time to time. I'm pretty sure Firas is also a student of his.
I know it sounds hilarious, but a strong sneeze is now my kryptonite. A strong “achoo” actually puts me on guard since I studied Muay Thai.
It's so much like a MT vocalization that I sometimes throw my guard up when I hear one
When your opponent starts dancing with, killing, and burying an invisible man before the fight...
Me: aight Imma head out
Hahahaha yup! 😂🤣
Damn i done hahaha..runnn
at the very least i want them to tap me light and i'll throw the towel myself
Undertaker shit lol "DONGGG!" 😱
Still looks scary even though he speaks in smiles. Love this guy for dedication and still active at his age. Thanks to him and Kenshin. This is an excellent interview and in the end it brings up my tears. So joyful to watch.
im not into violence things especially fighting. but his story is so real, that i was touch by it. my father also have said to me, back at their era, a syiling can fill your stomach for 2 days. same as what he describing by the first money he won. ive never been so proud to a stranger before this, but he is something. someone need to make a book for him.
It's a discipline. A sport. Not reckless, unwanted violence. It's a mutual desire by both fighters.
What a pussy this guy is
He is so humane, humble, ...That video shook me, thank you
Sagat... my favorite Streetfighter character.
Man thank you so much for what you do. You ignited my love for muay Thai again. I started 10 years ago and lost my passion for it some time ago but your videos showed me why I loved this sport so much at one point. It's about the excitement, the friendships you make not only with your own camp but with your opponents as well.
Have a great day my friend
Still wants to fight at 70. That's how you know someone truly loves something, and has the spirit of a warrior.
He’s also right about gambling ruined the sport
@Harambo Was that before or after he put a side bet for 1 million baht on himself? :')
@@nemjov9226 wise men take opportunit9. Doesn't matter if he said it before or after this allegation you're making, it's just as true.
@TB RC Dude i was beeing ironic. Of course he should bet on himself!
@@nemjov9226 I don’t think he met the gambling itself ruined the sport but later on they started fixing fights in order or gamblers to profit more. He doesn’t mind it as long as it doesn’t interfere with how the fighters perform.
I grew up playing streetfighter and using Sagat often as my character. Found out today he was real. Such a nice guy and legendary fighter.
450 fights, probably had wars in the ring and yet he shows no signs of brain damage at all !!
This isn't boxing, in muathai the legs is the most vulnerable
@cunny funt True but you'd be a fool to think some retired nak muay's don't have severe CTE issues. Sagat won most of his fights and didn't get knocked down much so it makes sense he doesn't have it as bad as others.
i wouldnt say no signs...
@TheWeeaboo i think you got some of his brain damage
@TheWeeaboo you have been around your mothers basement
Much respect to you the real SAGAT. Tiger, tiger, tiger uppercut. Awesome story.
This is a real man. Fought for life and lives to fight. But his wisdom is far beyond just knockouts. People say that those who fight are ignorant, savage, or just stupid. I see that most morals and values in life can be learned through the training and discipline of fighting. Sagat you are a true legend.
What a true WARRIOR. So humble and had a delightful smile and sense of humour but you can see the “FIGHTER” in his eyes. God bless you Mr. Petchyindee.
Thank you for this. I have won plenty of Fights with Sagat since Street Fighter 2 Turbo...and I've always wondered where the idea of him comes from.
Thank you for posting this interview. It brought tears to my eyes. It was both inspiring and humbling. It never ceases to amaze me how genuine Muay Thai champions tend to be. No bragging, no stating how amazing they are. Just simple statement of facts accompanied by appropriate pride. Yet, they have the humility and the desire to improve even as the years roll on. Remarkable. I also had no idea that he had such an amazing family history!! Again, thank you and happy training to you, Sir.
This man is LEGEND. Sagat wants to fight at 70 years old? Damnnnnn
These videos of the old thai fighters story are my favourite on RUclips please keep them coming
Wow!!! Great little Documentary! A beautiful Human Being! Make more like this!
thanks for watching
His parents must be feeling so proud of him saying that he is indeed scared of them I call that respect and utter discipline
Did he mention The Lord Most High? That's who one should really fear
@@DaI-rx3xg you shouldn't fear anyone
He shouldn't fear his parents. Respect and fear are not the same thing.
@@jairesemccoy9779 you should fear God, knowledge comes from fear

The best 26 mins of my life. This video has taught me everything and the tools to go and create the life i want.
Sagat the most annoying enemy in Street fighter harder then the boss Bison. Thanks for all the likes, Forgot to mention which version of street fighter. I think it was one of the Alpha version, One of Sagat uppercut take around half of your HP. Some of the older street fighter version Sagat was easy to beat.
Yes, wasn't Vega a bitch to fight to.
I got rekt by him as a very young child and at that age I wasn't even known about Muay Thai
Wrong, Sagat is just high and low attacks, nothing unblockable. Bison's attacks are mostly unblockable
Not for me I am the master Zangief the the Russian 3 360 and u are done
@Ryan GuidryI am the master of Zangief the only other fighter that I would have a problem with is dial Sam
God bless him, such a lovely, wise, experienced fighter and human being, alot of emotion in the way he speaks & explains things but only for bettering oneself and passing on knowledge. The guy is a gentleman and a wonderful human being to inspire to be, God bless him 🙏❤️
I think i never ever commented on a RUclips Video before. But i wanted to thank you for giving us this wholesome insight on Sagat's life. His story and tale are as touching as they are lighthearted. Truly outstanding human. He seems happy and i'm happy for him. Strong Heart!
If you are not afraid to fight and give it your all and fulfill your purpose then why be afraid to lose, this man is a true legend would love to learn from him and many other thai fighters.
Love this guy! This was absolutely beautiful . I am 36 and I just started Muay Thai, and doing my research in regards to its rich culture and legendary fighters. This Documentary was heart-felt and not only a lesson in the Art but a lesson of humanity.
Amazing I want to travel to Thailand and train with the real Sagat.
The real Muay Thai Emperor
What a man. Such a pure and fearsome heart. He dropped some real gems in there. A great man. For some reason him talking about hitting through the target not just the target really resonated with me.
Real Thai people, I love them so much, always smiling! Love the country each year, for these people..
Learning about a new legend everyday on this channel, nice to see them still getting some recognition.
This Thai fighter, Sagat, had a great fighting career. You are amazing, Sagat. May the best be with you, always. My favorite Street Fighters character is Sagat. Your style of fighting is SUPER!
This man makes me want to drop everything and for once in my life train hard at my passion for fighting. I would follow him into battle.
What a beautiful interview, sagat still has so much passion and could teach us all about humility and handling yourself like a man in all aspects.
So, basically, he was saying "You ain't my mom. You ain't my dad. I ain't ever scared."
this man is an example for the love of martial arts

Thanks for these mini-documentaries. Really gives an incredible insight into their lives and story that we would otherwise not get.
This guy is proper class all around, as a fighter and as a person. Really honest and straight forward
i kept smiling watching this warrior talk about his past
Sagat is a true inspiration. At 70 years old still a badass.
I am Thai. Respect all Muay Thai flighters. Long time ago, all Thais had to train the warrior boxing for flighting every enamy in any wars.
I love the Thai dance before there matchup the arrow is so cool, there traditions are awesome👍
Not forgetting the machine gun and the grenade throw at the end. Genius. Haha
A real master of the art, I've trained him sagat and his older brother and have learnt alot and I will never forget what I've learnt from two of the best of.
.. I wish you nothing but the best sagat
that was a really cool watch. sagat was always my favorite SF character
"He taught Firas Zahabi, who later co-founded the Tristar Gym, the art of Muay Thai." Wow !
What an amazing interview. Wise words from a very professional fighter, wise words from a person who loves Muay Thai and not the money. His words and advice are top notch. Respect for Sagat.
i never even knew about this man, and Sagat was my favorite street fighter character growing up.. i have lots of Sagat action figures still. actually, i have every single street fighter gi joe figure in my toy room. this is fascinating !
Thank you very much for this incredibly valuable interview & documentation
about this terrific fighter, Sagat Petchyindee !
True master of his craft. Years of fine tuning and hard fights molded him to what he is today. Such a kindle soul after so much he’s been thru. It would be an honor to train under this master.
Damn, that's crazy to know he's fought over 450 other men!
@Leonis Krigorian Yeah. How many rematches he's probably had?
SOME OF THEM ARE KIDS, HE STARTED AS A KID MUAY THAI FIGHTER
That's only the accountable fights, they don't count most of the amateur, illegal fights, street fights (fights that are still in a ring but at fairs or other camp grounds) so he could've fight more than that, and he also said 450 plus
@@DavidMedina-lu1wf Jesus Christ, how many fights would that be per year? Yet our top superstars currently fight 4 times a year if we're lucky
@@bennyamogo4999 well they are allowed to fight legally twice in one day, without injuries usually a Thai fighter starts fighting around 7-8, depending on how poor they were before they started fighting is how determined they are, they typically fight the most and their best around their prime, which would be 24-25 (For a legend type Thai fighter) finish fighting usually around their early 30s open up a school right after or take over a pre existing school so they need to look in their prime to sell butts, so that would be 24 years, they can probably have at least 700 - 800 fights that's going right after the fight from stadium and going to a fair at peak tourist season
Its incredibly humbling to see this man on screen.. very pure
I enjoyed watching this video so much. Sagat has a really solid fight philosophy, if you were listening... even the little bits he was showing the young boys was great to watch. It brought me back to my training days in Thailand. Big love for this mini doc!!
very humble guy in the day to day and fearless in the ring. this guy is the master roshi of muay thai
A living legendary warrior! Pure heart! A rare and real treasure of our world.
Thank you for the wonderful content. I hope this gains the attention it deserves!
I love this guy. He says his students can't beat him. They're young and have power but he has the technique and 450 fights. 22:53 he STILL HAS IT!!
Man! Dude hitting the bag at the end😳 no wonder anybody 50 and up won’t fight him. I doubt he would find someone in there 30’s that is game. Straight savage in the ring, super humble in life.
"Today I kick not good, tomorrow I must do good. Today I punch not good, tomorrow I must punch good." That is inspirational!!!
24:11 scary stuff his elbow seq
yeah. imagine getting into a street fight after a night out, and get hit with these
That was when he is already way past his prime. Imagine when he was younger, they would be even quicker with more impact.
True warrior. Love his raw, honest energy👊🏽
At first i was like "it nearly half an hour long to interview this man?"
No regret at all. Aaaand, big shout for the translator for put the subtitle just like what he said. It doesn't matter if its sounds weird, he say it from his heart.
My deepest respect for Sagat. I am seriously contemplating on partaking in such a martial art but I am sort of terrified.
I have so much respect for Sagat ! Humble man & Living legend with over 450 Fights.
Thankyou for sharing :)
He is a Legend!
That Got The Power of Heart and Mind.
RESPECT!
