[@69elchupacabra69]

lmao this guy is full of himself

[@bj69fu]

@Last Earthbender well, it's not even traditional anymore with those big ass gloves they wear in muay thai now and all the moves banned. Lethwei is closer to real traditional muay thai, not as much change over time. Muay thai is a sport now, probably with a commission with the typical mix of bullshit politics. Like Dave says lethwei is more freeing.

[@bj69fu]

@Last Earthbender I get it, your a muay thai guy and don't get me wrong, I am too. Training in the art and mastering it has nothing to do with gloves, points, politics, commisions etc. Lethwei is a sport that much more resembles muay thai the old way. I guess thats what I meant. I don't like the new way, it just looks too much like american kickboxing. Muay thai fighters have a hard time in lethwei rules. They are both the same art just with different rules and regulations. I love muay thai still, but now knowing there is another way that is superior is refreshing. I love buakaw, lerdsila, saenchai etc but now all I can think about is how amazing it would be to see them guys in lethwei. Imagine the destruction buakaw could do under lethwei rules with just handwraps instead of pillows. Why you don't like Dave? Because of his attitude toward muay thai now? Or because he said he could beat buakaw. I dunno, Dave is a cool guy who loves what he does

[@Makkushimu]

Love how passionate and excited Dave is about this stuff. It's always inspiring and motivational to see someone who has real drive for their art.

[@FinehomesofNewHampshire]

Same. Saw him on IG and was instantly hooked.

[@homer11Oct]

Very similar to Muaythai but with the headbutt. Since there is no point system and it's only when KO that decides a game, it's far more brutal. Normally I have seen Burmese guys doing Lethwei have enormous heart ..

[@killercroc4733]

It's like mauy boran, both use headbutts.

[@lps8966]

@@killercroc4733 basically, there are all under one systems, but don't kkow where it begun

[@killercroc4733]

Sam Lee yeah the only thing I know is that the thai's and Burmese people used this in combat (wars)with each other. Still hard to say which was born first not much info on it from what I've seen. I like to look at it this way, lethwei and muay boran are both the same art right, the old style of muay boran died and is only a demo now while lethwei still keeps that style alive which means it's not so dead after all.

[@bryanchrist8876]

Dave Leduc has become one of my favorite fighters. Just stumbled across him a couple weeks ago. I'm a big fan. I enjoy the way he explains his technique and style. He's a great ambassador for the sport. Thank you for having him on the show/channel.
