[@joebagtas9617]

Your dedication to the sport is unmatched. Thank you for making this rare insight available to rest of the world!

[@jaredharrison6778]

He moves like he's on roller skates. Always steady, upright and balanced, never quite still. Its just so beautiful and violent 😂

[@Freqv]

My coach is the Golden Era Lumpinee champion Matee Jedeepitak and so much of what he’s taught me is what Karuhat is saying, just the other day he was stressing the importance of having your shoulders square or else your opponent is either going to read it or predict what you’re about to do next after the first strike

[@psicolherme]

That's a really clever observation

[@canarc1]

This kick is taught in southern Thailand. Coming from a karate background, l found it to be a huge learning curve from anything that l have ever trained or seen. The tippy toe stance as the kick is driving through creates an incredible about of torque for the short take off distance. Thank you Sylvie for the beautiful job you are doing on documenting this amazing art.

[@leedex]

LAMO. The kick is taught all over Thailand 😂

[@Animefightforum]

Karuhat has the gold standard of mid-kick. But almost every thai trainer teaches to tippy toe on the kick for that extra 10-20% power not to mention the speed it provides. Even today you still see so many flat foot kickers

[@torsdemons606]

The end of this always makes me emotional it’s beautiful your journey I’ve watched for years now and it’s a blessing your keeping these legends alive🙏🏻👊🏻✌🏻❄️

[@joshstein4708]

A lot of the content you've posted has changed how I do muay thai; this kick in particular has been amazing for me, so I'm really grateful that you're posting more of it.

[@joshstein4708]

Really, I've made the most use of Sagat's approach to MT/muay maat (which integrates well with the MMA stuff I work), but seeing how the kick works for others is so useful and Karuhat is just celestial. Thank you so much; you're such a terrific influence on muay thai for those of us who cannot travel.

[@orangefield2308]

@@joshstein4708 do you have the link to sagat video?

[@Moiez101]

YOO!! This is how my sensei teaches me to kick; he is japanese but was taught by a Thai fighter. I still don't understand it, but with the help of this video, it's starting to make more sense.

[@mannie5851]

I see Karuhat, I click. Much love to you Sylvie.

[@onepun1745]

I deeply admire Karuhat, he is one of my fav fighter of all time. Perhaps the fighter with the most artistry and it's just second nature to him. Also, he seems like a very humble guy. Having said that, it's all thanks to you Sylvie for introducing the golden age fighters to ppl who aren't Thai.

[@lotus9378]

I have been trying to learn this kick for a while and come back to this video often, mine tends to be a wider kick that this kick. After a while now I don't know how to kick at all😅 Thank you for all the great work Sylvie ❤

[@angrypotato9383]

think of it as a cross or a jab, you throw it straight and while it travels it rotate horizontaly

[@flabbybeast]

What majestic kick. So relaxed. Thanks Sylvie for the breakdoen/ reflection and Kevin for capturing the angles

[@fernandoruiz5794]

Sylvie your chanel is so good is crazy, many thanks. This is high level knowledge

[@Haidderispro]

His kick is so beautiful, the difference is subtle but makes a huge difference, it’s good if you want to land at a higher percentage

[@skizmic]

Thanks Sylvie! Karuhat's kick is like a dangerous, hard hitting principal dancer! And watching footage from his old fights, it looks like he does have more of a slight pivot to his kick when he's competing. Thanks for sharing!

[@Bombur777]

Karuhat is such a suave guy and his kick is soo smooth. Thank you for documenting all of this ❤

[@daveflores2880]

Sylvie you do KZbin right 👌 thank you a million times over for the content, this stuff is priceless

[@guyeshel9316]

Highest video quality and content on Muay Thai

[@MrBurgerPal]

In Thailand the oldest coach at my gym in his 50s always try to get me to learn his variation when I work with him. I didn’t understand why he wanted me to change my form so much from my usual power kick, but this kick is very fast once you get it down. It’s the same as this one, makes sense the old guy teaches it. Your hips need to be really loose when doing it a lot on the pads, its like a whip

[@rachidelhammani7530]

thank you so much sylvie . i love watch your videos one of the most beautiful and strong channel on youtube . 😍😘😙👍💪

[@JorgeRodriguez0198]

Love the content. I hope more people can find it and learn from it

[@tailanthaiboxing]

Beautiful video, thank you. :)

[@moe5796]

Thank u for sharing

[@fredomacedo6304]

You should write a book 📖 with illustrations one day. Put me on the waiting list 🙏

[@tookurjaerbs]

This makes me really want to travel to Thailand

[@kortex628]

U posted this at the right time, u are like a mind reader. thank you 🙏

[@pasibrzuch212]

thank you for this content. Right know I'm in the process of recovery from a herniated disc, aggreviated by roundhouse kicking. If I want to come back to MT I need to reprogram my kicking mechanics. When I'm better, I will check if this way of throwing the leg solves the problem.

[@khunkao]

This reminds me a LOT of the way Master K taught us to kick, but I admittedly never quite followed what he was trying to convey. Watching this video is that "light bulb" moment! Now it makes much more sense why Master K taught the kick that way! (Master K taught more than 1 style of round kick, of course. This is one I always struggled with to comprehend)

[@torhaugsvendsen5609]

Where are you training? I am hoping to travel to thailand after newyears and really want a privet lesson with karuhat. Love your videos with him, have used a lot of what he has been teaching. Amazing fighter, coach and character.

[@8limbsUs]

I train privately now, but Karuhat does offer privates in Bangkok. You can book them through his FB page: web.facebook.com/karuhatofficial

[@The.Greatone]

@@8limbsUs hey i will be coming to Pattaya in December, would it be possible to take private classes from u?

[@8limbsUs]

I'm sorry, I don't give lessons. I'm not a kru.

[@torhaugsvendsen5609]

@@8limbsUs Thank you so much! I have had a hard time finding him. Hope you have a good weekend, love your content.

[@prodkn1ghtrider]

This is exactly how my Kru Poye Wor Santai Chaisak teaches me how to kick, probably the only Kru who has thaught me to kick like this

[@srdjanhulak]

Thank you for displaying this artistry (subed finally) (:

[@derekkenney1584]

Such little nuances! This is similar to how Kru Toy Sityodtong taught me to kick. Little step forward and push hip and torso. Different from traditional kick of a wide outer step. Thanks for the wonderful video.

[@yoshnaka9430]

not the hardest kick. but very well scoring and tough to see coming. great content. 🙏

[@rinn7e]

Not sure if anyone said this already, but if you think of it like you try to knee side way, but extend the leg, it will look like this kick. The main focus would be how the knee move.

[@omarvalhalla7006]

Hey 😊💞 i love the way you say it

[@elsuperpollo2273]

Es tambien, video worth watching thank you

[@xfi3ndx]

If you were learning a kick from 0, would you start with this or the standard kick?

[@8limbsUs]

Just start with basics. There is a really good Muay Thai Library session with Singdam where the basics of the kick are taught. He was a very fine, powerful Muay Thai kicker: www.patreon.com/posts/13968860 You can always thinks about some of the things in this video, and study the Golden Kick as well here: 8limbsus.com/muay-thai-thailand/golden-kick-how-to-improve-your-thai-kick But starting with basic weight transfer and a good step is best.

[@spawn314159]

amazing!

[@kilianhovaere5323]

Okay i get the technique..when i try to do a double kick i tend to do this naturaly. The first one needs to be very fast and then the second can come with force.. though my shin ate some elbows occasionaly

[@Haidderispro]

Sylvia I don’t know if you ever had this problem but for me im really good at balancing when my left foot is planted on the ground. It’s also the same foot I used to jump off of when I played basketball. When my right foot is planted I noticed my balance is pretty shaky. So when kicking when my right foot is planted it’s not the best. Also if I’m orthodox my checks aren’t great because I have to rely on my right foot balance. When I’m in southpaw my checks are very good.

[@futureshit-glungis7202]

Thats pretty normal, pretty much every orthodox standing fighter kicks better with the right leg and has better coordination standing on the left one. If its really an issue for you, you can definitely focus on training your stability and practice your left kicks on the bag, its worth it for sure

[@Haidderispro]

@@futureshit-glungis7202 Ok, I think mine may be worse than normal from spraining it multiples times when I played basketball. But definitely something I need to improve just for the sake of being able to stay on balance both sides

[@tailanthaiboxing]

@@Haidderispro hey maybe your right foot is flatter than your left from this sprains you said you have had. Something i guess could help you is doing some rehab exercises or feet strenght training as well as hip and knee (hamstrings and quads). Ive seen that its really hard for people with flat feet to be balanced and to get high on the balls of the feet. If thats your case i hope this helps.

[@Haidderispro]

@@tailanthaiboxing Thanks and you may be right. My right ankle definitely has less mobility and it's hard to balance. I'll look into it

[@assettocorsaking]

I've noticed Buakaw and Nong O kick that way especially in non-mirrored stance

[@strahinja95]

I like your content

[@chenzenzo]

Probably the best kicking techniques in the universe.

[@8limbsUs]

I tell him this every chance I get

[@chenzenzo]

@@8limbsUs @Sylvie von Duuglas-Ittu - Muay Thai These videos are absolutely invaluable, and I have and will tell every single person interested in martial arts about this channel. I donate, but I always think it's not enough. But that's because I'm poor in Oakland, not Bangkok. I showed my 67 year old mom a few videos on low kick defense, destruction and the simple techniques from these old masters you've spent so much time with. There really is no substitute for truth, and the work you've done thrives ; The talks you have about these long sessions with legendary fighters as they teach you are really something to to behold. I can't hardly imagine standing in front of Namkabuan Nongkeepahuyut, but you show his playful side along with the very serious of his work as the best practicioner in his class. I don't tell people about you as some chick, but rather a person that's spent an incredible amount of time with the greatest fighters in history. Is it possible for you do do some work with Sanchai? His teacher (Samrack: a legend) had a tragic experience, but him and Sanchai are some of the most prolific fighters ever. Massive Respect and love from humble fighter in Boston MA, via Oakland/Berkeley, California. Thanks again for your generosity with so much knowledge from these absolute gods of the art.

Thank you

[@fraternitas5117]

8:29 for reference

[@Bruh-pq9fp]

I am so late to the party on this video but could one compare this more to a hybrid mt and maybe karate kick? The fact he’s not really aiming to rotate all the way through and he kind of snaps at his target

[@8limbsUs]

@Bruh-pq9fp it's a Muay Thai kick. If it has similarities to Karate, it's still a Muay Thai kick, just as whatever Karate kick it's similar to is still Karate.

[@Bruh-pq9fp]

@ thank you! Yes nerded out on this for the past couple hours. While the trajectory may be the same, it’s still a Muay Thai kick. Doesn’t have a chamber it just flows out and has that step out+pivot. Thanks for the great content.

[@ชยกรอยู่ชุมพล]

Thanks you 😘 ☺ 😊

[@LMCWUE]

nobody can kick as goods as thai's! i have been there many times and trained with them

[@kenaultman7499]

I had a pro muay Lao fighter show me this kick. It's almost a mix between a question mark and a roundhouse.
