Lerdsila being evasive AND staying in striking range while doing it is just nuts.

[@LawrenceKenshin]

yeah he can evade at all ranges

That's how you should always evade, if you can't retaliate, you're just running away.

I love the untouchable style. To me that's the pinnacle of martial arts. To hit and not get hit. That means they understand the extent of the human movement. Staying calm under pressure. That also means they have been fighting for a long time.

[@LIONTAMER3D]

the skill it takes to cavalierly walk into a pro fighter's striking range, hands down, and not get hit with anything while simultamously using their failed attack as an opportunity to initiate your offense is astronomical

[@christianq1526]

I'd personally put Dominick Cruz down as one of the most evasive MMA fighters since he created his style from scratch with the goal of not being hit clean in mind

[@LawrenceKenshin]

yeah dom is very evasive

[@NobleVagabond2552]

100%, dude’s style is super unique and in his prime definitely an untouchable

[@NominalInterest]

Unfortunately it's taken its toll on him physically, his ankles and knees are fucked from his movement.

Domincick cruz's style is basically Willie pep-'s footwork combined with nicolito loche's head movement with feints and a great cardio.

To me, this is the pinnacle of combat sports. Hit and not get hit. Supreme effortless defence combined with perfectly timed offence. In my opinion (really stressing that lol), there is nothing more beautiful than what Samart did to Juan Meza in the whole of combat sports. Just mesmerizing.

[@kaylemkerr6989]

Hi Lawrence, Samart is no doubt the greatest Muay Thai fighter of all time. The next Muay Thai fighter for this generation to look out for is Taiwanchai PK gym. He fights similar to Samart. I had commented a few of your videos about Kru Yodtong Senanan and why his one of the best Muay Thai coach ever as u know that one of his most proud students r Samart, Yoddecha, Yodteera, Yodsanan etc. and I remembered u told me that u will try to do a video about him. Sorry if I had asked to much 😅 Thanks for making such a awesome videos 🙏

[@LawrenceKenshin]

🙏🙏 thanks for watching and the reminder !

[@Hahahaha10188]

@@LawrenceKenshin , no worries 😉 as always I appreciate your content. I am a Muay Thai practitioner and actually this guys r my idols.

[@inthemaitrix9388]

I had the exact same thought when I was watching a video of Tawanchai. He is so much like Samart, but with obviously less humor.

[@kaviator]

Being evasive and avoiding being hit is probably the smartest way to fight both physically and mentally. It makes sense from so many perspectives: 1- If you aren't hit, you don't get injured. 2- Your muscles, bones, and joints don't accumulate an injury upon a previous injury that hasn't healed yet. 3- Your brain doesn't accumulate concussions and you lower your chances of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). 4- You throw your opponents physically off balance, which makes them vulnerable to your counterstrikes. 5- You throw your opponents psychologically off balance, which affects their morale and their ego so that you can dominate them mentally. 6- You demonstrate that while most fighters work very hard to have physical strength, stamina, and high-quality techniques, it takes a superior intellect, control, and focus to be in a constant state of analysis-synthesis to properly "respond" to your opponent instead of just "reacting" to him/her. 7- You conserve physical energy and only use it when it matters. You don't engage in a war of attrition. 8- Last but not least, it's fun to watch. I understand that some people are put off by these techniques when some people like Saenchai or Silva occasionally mock their opponents and seem arrogant. But others like Lerdsila or Samart use these same techniques with less theatrics and focus on the desired outcome: avoid being hit and increase the chances of landing a successful counterstrike. Very good video as always!

I enjoy most when evasive styles work at their best, when they enter their flowstate. Then it is most appearent that fighting can be art. With the bullies like Nazim I also enjoy when they get stretched out but still a fighter going full Jedi is way more awesome.

I probably would’ve switched MVP with wonderboy or Cruz but that’s my opinion anyways great vid lerdsilla is my favorite out of the bunch dude was on another level.

[@hataillon]

you forgot Ole kiatoneway (golden era) and his lean back before lerdsila. one love 4 your video though

[@Jenjak]

It's the best style. The most beautiful to watch, the most difficult to master. Haters just don't understand the levels of the game. Standing and banging is braindead when you can master distance, timing and setup perfectly.

complete belief, combined with the ability to carry out the task.

[@damienthetexasian6827]

Many moves in MT are named after animals. The spinning heel kick is called Crocodile Whips Tail and the "Lean Back" is called a Cobra from the way they sway back before striking.

[@amgozo2007]

Being untouchable is not something to train at , it’s a gift for only some special people with their natural amazing stable nervous system , amazing reflexes, amazing awareness, amazing speed and amazing concentrated power hit … just look at Naseem Hemed , Mohammed Ali and Tyson Fury … no boxer can workout or train to be like them ! It’s natural! … one day i got a friend/ mentor like this , he was a great world champion in taekwondo .. he was untouchable and undefeated , by nature ! Those people are really gifted with this!

An untouchable with at least one power hand would be a great fighter template. That way if they have two viable paths to victory; the timing/speed game where they snipe at long range and the forced to brawl game, where a dominant hook or cross can knockout or wary their opponent.
