Well said. Most actors with money these days are mired in controversy. From hanging with Diddy to Getting ordinary folk to fork out money for their own benefit. All those morals portrayed by them in their movies are never expressed in their lives. So for Tony Jaa. Its all a win.
I've met Tony personally in 2018 and spent an afternoon with him in Thailand. He was one of the humblest most spiritual man I've met. He cares deeply about his art. He is not a person to sell his soul to Hollywood.

Ong bak is one of the most greatest epic martial art movie ever made.Amazing stunts, spectacular fighting scenes.Brillant acting.Salute to you Master Tony Jaa! ❤❤❤
He is a pure soul. Nothing is heartbreaking what he is going through now is not any tragedy, he moved himself from the shady entertainment industry and having a peaceful life
@@amiraimathias5062 They r 2 different Umbrella terns not styles Muay Thai is 11 different individual styles Muay Matt is the style buskow uses The one tong po uses in the film kickboxer The other style is muay femur Sanchei uses that style It's more like the phillyshell style Floyd mayweather used I can't remember the other muay Thai styles But traditionally u learned them all And put them together To make your own style They have t taught it like that 4 a long time Instead they promote Clinching in muay Thai Which is why sanchei Left Thailand 🇹🇭 Because they were nit showing real muay Thai
You cannot control someone's life like that especially when the person is someone like Tony Jaa, whose stardom was inevitable, he had to go beyond Thailand, such talents are born once in a while
Tony is an amazing man and definitely deserves to be in the pantheon of the greats. He may have idolized Bruce and Jackie, but he should be proud that he can stand side by side with them....... metaphorically.
True. Ong Bak was a turning point in martial arts films, everyone wanted to step their game up after that. Seeing him first perform those stunts and the grittiness and brutality of it is similar to seeing the CGI in LOTR for the first time, it was spectacular.
For him to get the respect of Scott Adkins, Donnie Yen, Michael Jai White, etc. says a lot........He earned a spot as one of the best martial arts actors there will ever be. 🤷♂️
Ong bak 1 got me into muay thai. It came out in 2003, i didny see it till 2005 or 2006 when i was 20. Im now 39 and have been training ever since consistently between muay thai/kickboxing and boxing and bjj. Tony was one of the best of the best in martial arts movies and stunts and only had a fraction of the movies the the other greats like jackie chan, jet li, sammo hung, etc. Thats how you know how skilled he was. There is no "downfall" either. Hes living just great in thailand with his family.
He is truly living his best life now. He still has his paddy fields and continues to live like an ordinary person, yet everywhere he goes, people love him. His presence brings positivity wherever he is.
Tony Jaa literally bought a whole apartment building to himself and made it like a secret safe house in spy movies. Like it’s an old building with peeling paint, no one would have guessed it’s his house. He got rid of the walls and made it a gym/living space/shrines and whatnot. He collects all the stuff he got from filming abroad. Bro is living his best life. He does backflips and moonwalks in his house. He is actually a pretty silly guy. He said the reason he bought that old apartment building was because it’s by the lake and he loves the view.
just because hes not in woke hollywood doesnt mean he is living a sad life, he lives better than alot of hollywood celebs, hes not controlled by the elites
I was in highschool in 2004 when I discovered Tony Jaa A bunch of collegues, we rented Saw and Ong Bak. We where so impressed. What a movie for that time...
Lmfao thank you. I swear i thought i was going crazy this is like one of those screen rant post on FB that goes on forever without any reason. It legit made my blood boil i cannot even finish it. This was the first and last time watchig this bots channel.
I have utmost respect for people who don't get corrupted with success and choose family over fame, that not only makes him a legend in Hollywood but a legend in real life.
He´s a grown man now. He was young and worked hard to gain a place in the industry. He got it, meditated and probably decided to settle down and play smart. He probably realized what was important, his family and peace. I respect the man for what he achieved.
Tony Jaa is already a legend with the few movies he stars in. His moves and fighting style are powerful and unique with multiple strikes at once. He is one of my favorite actors thus far. Total respect for him. He is stepping back to enjoy life with family and there is nothing heartbreaking about that decision.
Yea but he lost it somewhere down the way and way too quickly as well. Look at scott adkins, Jackie chan and even Donnie yen, their kicks and style is still crisp to this day. The whole going crazy on the movie set, running away and becoming a monk for sometime slowed him down. He just looks sluggish and the impact doesn't feel the same
Tony Jaa, did what was right for him, he wanted to show what his art was about, you can't have someone controlling what you want to capture your full potential on film, Bruce Lee had full control of the makings of his movies, what is different about Tony Jaa, the movie industry he was involved with shattered his spirit, you can't change the outcome of one masters art, Tony did the right thing, good things will come to you.
The ends of physical mastery has always been and will always be, mastery of spirit. Stepping away from the avaricious chaos of Hollywood was likely a step towards that which really matters in this world. 🌱
Thank Wise wind for your PROFOUND opinion in this video about Tony Jaa's movie career. Some of your statements resonate deeply with me. The first is "For Bruce Lee, the important thing is his characters knows WHY he is FIGHTING". The second is "Sometimes, life is more than stardom. Success is more than living up to someone else's expectations.... So is It a DIFFERENT kind of Success?"
Wrong Bruce Lee was a Thug, a Hood, a bully or whatever you want to call it. He wasn't known for winning street fights, he was known for getting into them and participating in street fights. It's also fact that the only reason Bruce Lee learnt martial arts in the first place is, because he wanted to beat up other people. Hence why he went to Ip Man to learn martial arts in the first place. I wish you people would worship him for the man he was, not the myth all of you created.
Saying Tony Jaa doesn't know what he's fighting for in movies is insane! I was never confused about who the good guy was when I watched Ong Bak! While this video was good insight into Tony's career path, the analysis leaves much to be desired. I'm happy Tony escaped Hollywood's clutches.
Jaa has two Great Martial Arts films, three if you count the underrated Ong Bak 2, he also had a lot of " mids" in Protector 2, Skin Trade, Paradox, and the Sci Fi " Jujitsu ". Xander, Monster Hunter and Fast/Furious, were big budget Hollywood films and he also did a pretty good Chinese action film too. The only film he did that I thought was Bad was Ong Bak 3. Dude's had a pretty Good career for a martial arts action star.
The Protector 2 was silly having Rza as the main antagonist . Of course he’s Mr. Man with the Iron Fists but he wasn’t a formidable match in Protector 2.
One of my favorite martial art actors. He is the best action star from Thailand. Am glad he is living his life with his family...being a star is definitely not an easy job. Miss his movies.
Tony Jaa, more power to you sir..... 💪 isn't it typical mafia with their stand over tactics to destroy someone who won't yield.... the imbedded 'management' or 'promoter' or 'director' , etc...
The man is a free spirit that refused to be controlled by anyone include Hollywood....not quite sure how this 'fall from grace' came from this narrator...smh. He still doing movies & spending more time with his family.....nothing is wromg with that.
Tony Jaa was NEVER the problem, it's the industry ~ It's corrupt no matter what country you're in.... It was the greed and pride of others that weighed Tony down, not a lack of mental or physical toughness.
ONG BAK was one of the most phenomenal fight movies I have ever seen... they started the genre of Real Fight. The choreography wasn't choreography, he was actually fighting.
Sie do not live us orients alone ,we love to be inspired ,all you need it is find balance between family life and movies keep inspiring us move us to do our best in martial arts,please listen me and millions of us who amazed by your talent
What heartbreaking. If living in constant pressure of stardom and unnecessary people giving you false hype. Then a life in a monastery is much better. I would say he is saved by this dangerous life. He is lucky.
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
he made 2 of the best action movies of all time and now is living his best life with a beautiful family, nothing heartbreaking about it…
Basically if hes back in Thailand hes even more lucky than people think...5555
Well said. Most actors with money these days are mired in controversy. From hanging with Diddy to Getting ordinary folk to fork out money for their own benefit. All those morals portrayed by them in their movies are never expressed in their lives. So for Tony Jaa. Its all a win.
Agreed, he made his impact and left us with amazing movies. He has earned his peace infinityfold so let him be.
It's terribly presumptions to assume someone is living their best life, even if it seems good.
2 Movies no he made dozens of amazing movies you obviously don't know Tony's filmography
I've met Tony personally in 2018 and spent an afternoon with him in Thailand. He was one of the humblest most spiritual man I've met. He cares deeply about his art. He is not a person to sell his soul to Hollywood.
Lies
I envy you my friend 😂
@@TheReal-pw9tkNo lies
Lee ass botty bot
Did he actually tell you he wont sell his soul like he knows that's a thing in Hollywood im curious 🤔? Please RUclips don't delete my comments 🥺.
He discovered his true self. He no longer needs to imitate his idols. This is a significant moment of self-realization.
That's simple he distanced himself from the septic evil of Hollywood
Only true comment on here
Can't agree more, hollywood is toxic just ask former actors that left or got ban because they weren't into that evil cult behavior.
who runs Hollywood ? the race, religion?
White society and religion, specifically or mostly those who call themselves Jews. You must stop using their term race, look up the definition of the word race, please stop giving it momentum and/or power
@@MalioCordero Satan worshipper
Tony Jaa is the main reason why i have a high interest in Thai martial arts in general.
You ain't lying. His explosive style with that speed is crazy
It’s why I started training Muay Thai years ago, because Tony Jaa
It's kun Khmer.
@@PHATT_TV I heard Muay Thai is really tough.
Same
Ong Bak and The Protector are masterpieces 🔥💪
It's was terrible.
@@outercast9532ong bak 1 you can get away with but two and three??? You’re tripping for real.
The Thai version of the Protector, Tom Yum Goong was better. Grittier.
Ong Bak was an action masterpiece.
Also.. watch the raid... 2 cops (Tony included) vs a building of gangsters. Clear destroy and arrest those they don't make and kill ..
@deborahblake9185 The Raid is better than Ong Bak and The Protector for sure but it's not Tony Ja my friend is Iko Uawis
I don't care what some certain people say about Tony Jaa, he is one of the best of all time as a martial artist and actor.
Absolutely
agreed
I don’t think people understand how fast, fluid and difficult his moves are. I love watching him perform. His athleticism is outstanding!
Most people start to grunt when they tie their own shoes. I guess people can appreciate his outstanding athleticism 😅
I don't think people know how fast my move is too when I pass gas, they already fainted 🤣
Ong bak is one of the most greatest epic martial art movie ever made.Amazing stunts, spectacular fighting scenes.Brillant acting.Salute to you Master Tony Jaa! ❤❤❤
I like 2 where he's a pirate
I know in OngBak Tony made Jackie look clumsy.
@kimbelsimpson7535 It's like saying the graphics of today's video games make the ones in the 80s like ugly 😂😂😂
@kimbelsimpson7535 you're kidding right!
@@titotito6057No, I'm not.
When Boyka says you're the best, it means you are the best!
When did that happens
@@orenncharles758 scott adkins said he was top of the list of best martialartists he ever met.
He is a pure soul. Nothing is heartbreaking what he is going through now is not any tragedy, he moved himself from the shady entertainment industry and having a peaceful life
Ong bak. A fine classic. Tony Jaa will is and will always be a legend.
It is
When he jumped up and kicked a street light I was thoroughly impressed.
Street light won't fight back
@mekkimaru2365 what the hell are you talking about lol? He kicks people too. It's choreography.
@@sinastir7688 that a bruce lee line... hahaha
And then he handstand shimmied brilliantly
Tony Jaa the reason why i wanna learn muay thai
Same here
Tony trained Muay Boran ( khmer boxing) not Muay Thai ( Thai)
@@emptyemptiness8372 what's the difference?
@@emptyemptiness8372
He learned both
Both
Muay Thai
And
Muay Boran
Are 2 umbrella terms
And both
Styles r made up
Of 11 different styles
@@amiraimathias5062
They r 2 different
Umbrella terns not styles
Muay Thai is 11 different individual styles
Muay Matt is the style buskow uses
The one tong po uses in the film kickboxer
The other style is muay femur
Sanchei uses that style
It's more like the phillyshell style
Floyd mayweather used
I can't remember the other muay Thai styles
But traditionally u learned them all
And put them together
To make your own style
They have t taught it like that 4 a long time
Instead they promote
Clinching in muay Thai
Which is why sanchei
Left Thailand 🇹🇭
Because they were nit showing real muay Thai
U miss the part, as u get older, your spirit, body, energy changes as well! Joys of life 😊😊😊😊
We cannot speak for Tony Jaa. Maybe he is happy 😊 right now
He is, he's got an amazing family and moved back to Thailand.
When I saw Ong Bak it blew my mind. I became a super fan of martial arts movies. Jaa's moves were so incredible.
So right "ONG BAK" hit me like a huge wave...incredible athleticism...bone crushing...hyper real
respect for sylvester stallone bringing him in to expendables 4 he a top action star in any martial arts fans eyes for sure
Fast n furious too
I was wondering about that, especially since Jet don't do movies like that anymore
"Life is more than living up to someone else's expectations" ❤
To me Tony Jaa is and always was a Legend, very inspiring.
You cannot control someone's life like that especially when the person is someone like Tony Jaa, whose stardom was inevitable, he had to go beyond Thailand, such talents are born once in a while
Couldn't of said it better myself 🎯💯
Tony is an amazing man and definitely deserves to be in the pantheon of the greats. He may have idolized Bruce and Jackie, but he should be proud that he can stand side by side with them....... metaphorically.
Every artist must follow his path and be thankful for the journey
Ong bak is one of the legendary movie made history on martial arts fans.
Tony Jaa is the most extraordinary martial artists I've ever seen. The way he moved was almost supernatural.
True. Ong Bak was a turning point in martial arts films, everyone wanted to step their game up after that.
Seeing him first perform those stunts and the grittiness and brutality of it is similar to seeing the CGI in LOTR for the first time, it was spectacular.
I too have met TJ in 2022. As far as i know he acts like a humble citizen. Who you wouldnt think is a celebrity.
For him to get the respect of Scott Adkins, Donnie Yen, Michael Jai White, etc. says a lot........He earned a spot as one of the best martial arts actors there will ever be. 🤷♂️
Tony is an absolute legend.
Tony Jaa never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee, he wanted to be the first Tony Jaa.
Ong bak 1 got me into muay thai. It came out in 2003, i didny see it till 2005 or 2006 when i was 20.

There is no "downfall" either. Hes living just great in thailand with his family.
Diddy probably tried to get him to do stunts at one of his parties and Tony Jaa was like “That’s it, I’m done with hollywood”
He is truly living his best life now. He still has his paddy fields and continues to live like an ordinary person, yet everywhere he goes, people love him. His presence brings positivity wherever he is.
I love his movies
Tony Jaa literally bought a whole apartment building to himself and made it like a secret safe house in spy movies.

Incredible fighter on film. Loved all his movies. He really did some amazing martial arts.
Tony Jaa will always remain extraordinary
I always loved his movies, he seems like a very humble guy, bless him
He got in, made a killing, and now he's retired with family away from Hollywood toxicity. I call that a win
Tony Jaa is a very great actor i like his movie ... Like Ong bag that movie was great ❤❤
Tony was original and real. One of the best.
His come back will be lot more powerful than his start, Wishing the best Tony jha ❤️

Ong Bak is the greatest Martial arts movie I have watched in my life
The tower scene in Tom Yum-Goong is still the longest single-shot fight scene in motion picture history. An absolute masterpiece of the art.

ONG BAK was one of the most phenomenal fight movies I have ever seen... they started the genre of Real Fight. The choreography wasn't choreography, he was actually fighting.
I enjoyed the video, but it's misleading. You set it up as though he's ended up in ruin, but then spin it like maybe he hasn't...?
