This might be my favorite video on KZbin. Thank you so much for sharing, Sylvie! Can't wait to watch the whole 80 minutes!

[@8limbsUs]

Cheers Shane :) Thanks for saying so.

[@bigmember5908]

it's so crazy that she gets comments from fightTIPS on a bunch of her vids and only has 26k followers youtube audience is slack! she the best kept secret on the platform for learning mthai

[@bigmember5908]

oh and Lawrence Kenshin did a video about one of her fights....

[@SuperKamiGuruu]

Shane you should train with Samart!

[@theredninja2817]

fightTIPS spoken like a true Master martial artist when you're willing to check your ego and learn from others that's why I also you deserve respect as well

[@odynhros]

1:29 - 1:34 these effortless and simple 4 seconds have been fueling my training for the past 2 years. I watched this 2 years ago, and his image doing this is engraved in my brain. almost everyday, i try to pull these 4 moves like him, but i still cant do it easy and gracefully as him. teep te maat block te. so beautiful. he's the goat.

[@t.r3400]

Straight forward "Your balance sucks" LOL! Gotta love Samart.

[@pranitikamraksa6741]

He is a legend of Muay Thai. You are lucky to study with him. From thailand🙏❤️

[@jordanbouma9620]

No fuckin way. I used to follow your page years ago, and just found you again. I'm glad you kept up with Muay Thai and now instructing it online. Congrats with all of your success.

[@bigmember5908]

when it was MasterK right? I did to, I legit thought she was Rachel Leigh Cook when I first found her vids

[@LogLineX]

One of my fav gyms. I like how Smamart's gym trains both stances equally. Great vid.

[@BetoBarbaro]

Your videos are the most technical Muay Thai videos that I saw in KZbin. I'm a Sanda (kung Fu) fighter, but I always learn something new with you that I can integrate in my game plan, so...thank you very much! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@limyatri]

God Damn that is exatcly what Jon Jones does, overwhelms the opponent with different forms of striking and he is always very balanced and relaxed when he throws his shots... this eventually makes his oppnent crumple under pressure.

[@MrNickdino]

as do the other fighters in the ufc.. But i don't like jon jones though.

[@neolyth]

@Lobsang Tsetan just like dieselnoi size with samart fighting style

[@prasg1186]

combined w/ PEDs & massive size advantage until the newer era of guys whoever is anywhee close in soze gives him issues..

[@looFA_4]

5 years later and Demetrious Johnson also talks about realizing how important balance is, taking the fight to your opponent so that they're dealing with things and eventually make mistakes. Crazy how all the great fighters end up coming to the same conclusions.

[@leopoldofernandezjr.508]

I like Samart bec. One of my favorite Thai fighter..Hes not only a kickboxer but also a pro boxer (former wbc champuon)..you are the best Samart.

[@oneinchpunched3661]

Sylvie is going to go down as the only fighter having trained with every single still golden era legend. What a thing to have done, and to have recorded it and shared it. Please never stop.

[@beccawilkes9633]

1:32 like how Miyamoto Musashi was talking about standing well and not changing your stance from how you normally stand. Not saying your fighting stance should be standing like a dope with your knees straight

[@saysomethingsmartcomeonent5233]

Training with the legend, I not only envy but I'm impressed. I look forward to seeing more since this is my first time. I hope to one day learn from samart in the art out muay thai

[@goggy6850]

I learn more from your videos than most muay thai vids. The details and reasons for things you explain make the difference

[@gavinharris1659]

This whole project is one of language. That is the talent demonstrated here. Creating a communication bridge from one culture to another. The language of body mechanics and obviously the Thai language. So westerners can understand. Thank you Sylvie.

[@chimaera1855]

My coach right there still looks awesome.

[@ravioliiking]

The GOAT. No questions asked.

[@ravioliiking]

It's a pretty common and well known fact that Samart Payakaroon is the greatest Muay Thai fighter of all time. Followed closely by Saenchai.

[@ravioliiking]

I'm currently living in Thailand my friend, yes, I'm an "outsider" but you're trying to paint me as someone who doesn't know what I'm on about lol. Deiselnoi is exceptional, best knees in hte business (before he retired obviously) so it's a good shout, everyone I ask around here (Phuket, Chokchai gym) says Samart or Saenchai and I personally agree. You're right though, it's more opinion based :)

[@ekinne]

Somrak Khamsing has to have honorable mention in that discussion as well. Gamblers wouldn't even allow him to fight stadium champs because it was bad for bets, he made everyone look stupid in a similar style to Samart, not to mention he brought home olympic gold in boxing in the same weightclass as Floyd Mayweather.

[@authenticmax6350]

Gym area is so beautiful with all the greenery around... sad to know that he had a heart attack... sometimes I get jealous watching you get to train with legends of the sport. Great video !!

[@dimitriskatsoulis4986]

Girl I just found you. Your technique is great, your love for the culture even greater...and my gosh don't get me started on your smile!!! Keep it up

[@TheSunday29]

ถ้าคุณไปย้อนดู vid ที่ สามารถ พยัคอรุณ เคยขึ้นเวทีในอดีต คุณจะรู้เลยว่า นี่คือ "เทคนิคเฉพาะตัวของสามารถ" this is "the only technique of Samart"

[@streampunksheep]

My favorite fighter. I enjoy training in his stand game.

[@melizaleitch4429]

This stuff is awesome! thanks so much for sharing. It can truly be as simple as 'Standing well'. Wow. And you saying 'he looks like he is waiting for a bus' hahaha

[@GeloNegron]

Im sorry, all the knowledge was not missed, but I couldnt help but think to myself how theirs gotta be other men who think this is important for a women / spouse & its completely sexy in a non-taboo way. This is beautiful & you have great power!

[@Kevin3310]

I’d love to see a session with Namsaknoi someday!

[@starcraftian5144]

Agreed!

[@shannonkhiew5734]

There finally is

[@SlickRick4EVER]

Omg, I just discovered this! Thank you for this video! I plan on taking Muay Thai in the future.

[@paulpelle3046]

Omg! There’s levels to this!! You’re a fantastic Nak Muay. But when (arguably, I’m not forgetting Dieselnoi) the Muay Thai GOAT says your balance sucks? We gotta be all ears Sylvie! 😲🤣🙏 PS. My brother-in-law is an incredible fighter, but last time he trained at Tiger, his coach out there just kept repeating “Balance! BALANCE!!” 🤷‍♂️😆

[@mazechaser]

This was amazing. Thank you for this.

[@kaisstudio8278]

Wow Sylvie! You get to train with a legendary! I recently discovered you from watching the short documentary " Under the Rope" You are an amazing warrior Sylvie.

[@i.l.wilson84]

"stand well" 🙏🏾

[@jshackelford31]

Samart gym was one of the best gyms I trained at in 2014. I learned some much in the days i was there.

[@mortalkomment8028]

You gotta love the both of you tacticians on the chess mats.

[@hugueparent]

I did not know this fighter but I found out that he was one of the greatest in is prime. thanks for sharing. respect from Paris.

[@PJ-kg2pw]

3:55 he named of 7 trainers who help him teach at the gym including brother Kongtoranee Payakaroon

[@QBziZ]

What a legend! Amazing fighter.

[@pabloperezjr4407]

I'm glad I discovered this channel! SUBBED!

[@chris2489001]

If you're a technical fighter, close feet allow for versatility. You can do so much more. Wider stance is more for power fighters. That's why it's important to have a trainer who knows your style.

[@beccawilkes9633]

1:58 also how Bruce Lee mentioned you should be able to strike and kick from a neutral standing position or on guard without any wind up. I bet if you jumps this guy at that bus stop he could kick you without changing his stance in the slightest

[@MySafraz]

Fantastic stuff Silvey. Keep up the videos.

[@steamboatwilly]

I'm here at the gym now and glad I'm not the only one who was flabbergasted by the narrow stance. Definitely having some difficulty adjusting.

[@azaquihelify]

I need to show this to my couch, Nobody understands me, samart does There is strength in fluidity.....or i am to dyslexic to memorize the combinations, so I'll throw everything that feels right... kinda mindset

[@orangeiceice12]

I think that your job is to conform to your coaches, and learn their system and the rulebook, while maintaining your individuality and your style. you need to learn the rules to know how to break them. we get confused what is part of our passion and what is merely stretching us in uncomfortable ways. short term - coach is always right, long term - you are always responsible. do what's best for you, develop your own style, but in class, acquire their wisdom- it's what you pay them for. put their tools in your toolkit.

[@p3teytran]

Wow this is one of the best muay thai training videos I've seen. Making me want to start training for fun

[@COACH_ANTHONY_MMA]

Your channel is amazing 👏

[@kenaddoh4693]

Brilliant!

[@seniknine]

When I started training at Rojas Muay Thai in Garland Texas, Samart had just left Plano from Saekson's gym. My trainer, Kumu Vee, is a student of Saekson. I got to meet and shake his hand last week! I really hope to meet Samart at the next seminar he does this year.

[@JimmyPtheman]

Any idea when the next Samart seminar is?

[@fuchyerr]

Lopez Bunch he's coming tomorrow to ohana warrior gym in Richardson tx

[@fuchyerr]

Lopez Bunch idid bro. This dude is a beast. He's aura was just fucking badass. It wasn't expensive at all. Definitely worth it.

[@seniknine]

fuchyerr ahh! I wanted to go so badly, but my time is dedicated to my own gym. Plus, I had to work that weekend. =___= Janjira is amazing, too. But, meeting THE Samart, himself... What an energy that must have been!

[@duanehodges3146]

Great advice!!! I get tired fast but I'm going to take your advice and relax between strikes

[@logan5326]

Work on your stamina (try to run 2 miles everyday)…you’ll see what I’m talking about.

[@Eyezbergslim]

@@logan5326 I can't run. Two torn miniscus

[@richmarxist]

Sooo gooood!

[@markuslebt]

balance is also how saenchai defeats every opponent. he's always in the perfect place for every move, and manages distance perfectly. just close enough he needs to punch, but far enough to dive or evade.

[@aquiestapedro]

I love you Sylvie!!!!!!!

[@Arhereroy]

He is a legend of Muay Thai. in his heyday Even Buakaw couldn't compare.

[@user-qh9hf2vv6v]

He is the best legend of muay​thai Boxer​ you​ know??

[@richman_24]

เค้ารู้แล้วไม่ต้องไปบอกเค้าหรอก นาทีที่0.25เค้าก็เขียนให้ดูอยู่

[@stephenboyes5189]

Total class

[@suarsivapong9311]

ครูเหนื่อย แทบขาดใจแล้ว 😂😂😂😂😂

[@rendenp]

Can you give more information about him traveling to Texas? I live in Texas and going to a similar near by would be so helpful. Love the video and channel! Top 3 muay thai channels I've seen on KZbin by far.

[@MrVirtuezzz]

Wow I can't believe I've only just found this. This is gold, thank you for sharing and explaining!

[@Losman523]

Love the shorts.

[@mdcosta21]

Very very cool.

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

coordination on the symetry of yours is good, plus power still there and speed

[@hioxd]

He moves really well still

[@user-wc6tx3js9j]

Good

[@GamingLoadown101]

ty

[@sabet3600]

Thanks

[@GeloNegron]

Semart?!?! Cant wait to make a little money, im gonna hire these guys, a man can only dream! Are you gonna do Buakau?

[@my2009Babies1]

Thanks sylvie for the video, i have troubles with my balance

[@claymore2323]

I agree u shud be able to fight out of both stances. Maybe i shud find a way to texas sometime ;)

[@thanng5491]

I see 2 legends in this video...i wish to see you,Sylvie,fight against Anissa Meksen but not the same category...

[@daveyork0]

Dude's got a beautiful gym

[@8limbsUs]

It's really beautiful. The color scheme has changed since we filmed this, it's brighter now.

[@juntanalgo8982]

Love it:)

[@photonut69]

He comes to Detroit with saekson and does a seminar with matee jedeepitak it's like watching 3 brothers goofing around when they're together they're all friends

[@Meatwad787]

photonut69 When and where in Detroit? Is it in *Detroit* or the burbs?

[@garybmxlewis1234]

cool videos !

[@sodaza8574]

Samart is best of teep.

[@jockehindrika5267]

Samarts brother was very good also, is he considered One of The greats of that era? Havent had the time to check him out properly, im stuck in karuhat, and the elbowhunter now. Trying to see all their fights, Read what i can online.. waiting for money so i can become a patron again . peace!!

[@ryanfigueiredodamaia2020]

He'd be a great Kengan fighter

[@bigmember5908]

inquiry: I know the lesson plan had to do with balance but do you get good pop from punches standing on one leg? I have never attempted it and I am considering looking into it now

[@orangeiceice12]

yo his technique is fucking WILD

[@kylethompson6310]

Why do you think samart and dieselnoi have heart problems after being active their whole life as a fighter?

[@emaregos8758]

And drinking

[@seniknine]

Same with Saekson. He is a pretty heavy smoker and drinker... But, he still has a nimble looking figure. Guess it's just the thing to do for these older, retired Muay Thai legends.

[@mixalis6168]

Drinking, Smoking, Thais do it a lot, Nokweed Davy, passing 2016 and His brother Nen just a few weeks back, hard life..

[@LawrenceKenshin]

mixalis nem passed?? Heart attack?? Damn feel bad for the Davy family

[@rmaa-raleighmartialartsaca1491]

Genetics.

[@user-wr1hv7to4w]

p' mart! he is a muay thai legend!

[@mattf1787]

I have a question. Sometimes when I do thai pads I've accidentally hit with the top of my foot instead of my shin. I think that injures it. Any advice on that or experience with it? Great videos your breakdowns of everything he's teaching are so useful!

[@8limbsUs]

matt f Stand closer to avoid hitting with your foot, and angle the kick up rather than around. We call it the "golden kick", you can look it up on my channel

[@adrcamacho1]

She’s a cutie, always liked her videos

[@krispinyo1740]

wow you speak thai!

[@lucianosr71]

amazing woman !!!!!!!! I hope to see you in ufc

[@deshun3163]

lucianosr71 takes more than just one martial art for that

[@lucianosr71]

I know , she is a warrior I just want that woman like this make diference man this people are amazing

[@alessyjay1641]

I hope to see her on Yokkao ring more than the UFC ring.
