+1 Duang is imo the ideal type of female sparring partner in terms of intensity and technique, not to mention she seems beautiful inside and out. As for you Tino, your energy is contagious and that makes your video even more pleasing to follow while learning.👌🏽💯

[@PowerScienceRacing]

A brisk spar with a skilled fighter is one of the greatest joys in life. It becomes a real dance, and you can see in their faces that they feel the same. She's a great ambassador for MT.

[@jackotop2011]

What people who doesn't fight behind the screen doesn't understand is that the one with no sound is the one that hurts the most because the muscle and bones absorbs the impact, not the surface area. Clapping your hands for example, loud, doesn't hurt. Here, make your forearms into an X shape, and hit the 2 wrist bones together as hard as you do when clapping your hands. Yeah.

[@renanun]

Yeah. Thats not true...

[@JustSomeGuyWithAMustache886]

@@renanunit absolutely is true, thumping kicks hurt more than slapping ones

[@idkwhatnameishouldput7526]

[@dark6.6E-34]

This is bs. It all depends on the surfaces contacting each other. You can have a kick break a bone and the impact be a loud clap like sound with the right padding type.

[@marcusmjx740]

Amazing video, thanks! Enjoyed learning more about this awesome girl that I see in Saenchai seminar videos.

[@coffeeortea547]

I think the criticism stems from Yakkao posting clips titled "Duangdawnoi DESTROYS 215lbs man", in which the clips often show an amateur tagging her with something light, then her answering with a snappy combo, which appears at a higher intensity than the amateur sparring partner, making it look like she's upping the intensity because her ego got hurt when she got tagged by an amateur. Like you said, short form content doesn't show that her style is simply that explosive and that her return combos weren't an escalation of intensity. Like she says, with shin pads, often softer kicks with less weight put behind it still yields loud sounds, which looks worse when her form is simply that explosive and snappy. Edit: What I'm tryna say is that based on this video and Tino's account, despite how it may appear in shorts, it looks like she's still taking care of people that spar with her and not trying to hurt them out of spite.

[@hassansyed6087]

That's exactly right. She overdoes it every combo. She has to be more aggressive simply because of the whole "man vs woman" situation whereby she feels the need to match the energy of the preemptively stronger man. She'll snap kick but it won't really hit like she thinks it does.

[@thatdude8884]

I understand your point, but I also believe there's a difference between power and intensity. If she goes excessively fast compared to the other's pace she should slow some

[@gambeer134]

She's just quicker than her opponent, essentially. But casuals misperceive it as her putting more power. Sad

[@sunnysy6711]

^ There he is The white knight

[@thatdude8884]

@gambeer134 Bro, shut up. The only real difference between speed and power is your ability to follow through with the kick (to a point beyond your opponent). Its pretty hard to tell the difference visually when your foot stops the moment it makes contact. Also, who actually says 'casuals?' Are you 9???

[@ayske1]

I think the exhale is such an important and fundamental thing I think many new starters overlook. For ages I would do "aishh" as I felt like I pushed out from stomach but recently have tried to do a more inhale and then "shohh", it feels less tiring.

[@doyourownresearch7297]

i say "keeeeee-ahhhhh"

[@Wond3rakz]

Whats funny is that good Muay Thai fighters do spar really hard but not to harm. I mean just watch Saenchai and Buakaw going at each other, somtimes they kick HARD really HARD but they know other gonna block or parry easily, it's almost an art itself. That why i love watching Muay Thai even tho i dont practice muay thai, i feel like i'm watching art, not fight.

[@metalface_villain]

tbh most times that i seen those two sparr they would just clown around xD

[@neutrino78x]

well, it IS a traditional martial art, despite whites tending to practice it as a sport. Monks do Muay Thai, for the same reason monks at the Shaolin Temple do Kung Fu. There's intellect and spirituality to it, if you're doing it right. You're supposed to do a spiritual ceremony before sparring, for example. And done properly, there is meditation etc. 🙂

[@patmanpatmanson]

Actually, Thai sparring is a word for light to very light sparring. I don't think there is actual footage how they sparr. Sadly, even the lightest sparring is very bad for your brain and CTE is the worst ailment imaginable.

[@neutrino78x]

@@patmanpatmanson "Sadly, even the lightest sparring is very bad for your brain and CTE is the worst ailment imaginable." Yeha, that's one of many reasons why we go light in sparring in real martial arts. (though many white people practice it as a sport, MT is actually a traditional martial art, with intellect and spirituality.) And for those who think that doesn't train you to fight on the street, I'm here to tell you that I learned ITF TKD with only light contact sparring, and all the times I have needed it in real self defense scenarios, which has happened several times now, it's been there for me! But yeah I agree, traditionally it's very light contact when you're sparring. Full speed, but light contact. 🙂

[@neutrino78x]

@@patmanpatmanson hmm well if it's proper light sparring, and they strike the head, they should be barely touching it. That's how we did it in ITF Taekwondo. Control is a big part of real martial arts. If you practice it as a sport you miss out on that.

[@p-hawk1956]

I think Duangdawnoi is great and girls and boys who are lucky enough to spar with her learn from her. It is her sport and her life. Most of the karate and other semi-contact experts who call her out forget what the cushiony wushiony thingy wingies on her leggy weggies are for ✌🏽✌🏾✌🏼

Great content. And, I’m a fan of her. What many people don’t understand is she’s most often holding back on strikes, as you clearly were. Also, it’s not easy to have to constantly hype yourself up for a sparring match and be humble at the same time. There is a certain mindset you need to be in and it isn’t easily compatible with being humble, as you’re trying to dominate your opponent. I like her. She’s not a bully or goon.

[@doyourownresearch7297]

she is a goon

[@Prestoux]

She is a warrior😍 Sawadikap🙏🏻

[@walterreuther1779]

She doesn’t spar hard, you see she is totally relaxed and under control. What she does is practicing killer instinct, to have intensity when throwing punches and kicks when in range. But you can see she‘s being respectful the whole time, she doesn’t hurt the other, she is just intense with the killer instinct, that’s all. Good form good style. I like it.

[@nellyfabulous]

Looks normal to me. I don't see any sharp strikes from her that would cause any actual physical damage, even though you're much bigger and heavier than her. Guessing she's normally sparring with people heavier than her in her normal routine.

[@philiplewis8213]

Remember the old saying that goes something like "Train light, fight light. Train hard, fight hard" or, train like you want to play on the field. Very common in American football and, I am sure, other sports. You only train light when warming up with no contact drills. I think she went easy on him though there were some solids hits. Well done.

Seemed kind of awkward, since you opened it up with "I hope you don't spar too hard with me" so then she held back basically like 80% and only went like 20-30% max. And since you were fighting a smaller female, obviously you have to be the one to hold back even more and can't lose your temper. With those conditions, the spar was probably too slow and too light if I'm being honest.
