brutal and simple and useful

[@shoto520]

Love how they run afterwards

[@csicskazoli]

Yes, its like "ok i breaked your skull and ribs, but im still in danger" and in my opinion when you smash someone this bad (because this can injurw somebody really hard) you need to call an ambulance for him or at least check that you don't killed the guy even if he was the attacker.

[@burgerkang3249]

@@csicskazoli You run because he might have friends

[@csicskazoli]

@@burgerkang3249 then running will not gonna help you, if you fought you are tired so they can catch you and when you running for your life most of the time you just run and don't know where, so you might get into a worst situation where you was before you started running AND you are even more tired. I beleive more fighting skills and weapon usage than running.

[@awilliams3881]

@@csicskazoli you wont be tired after that it was a 10 second altercation the adreniline will just be starting to pump and thats what cardio and all the long sparring sessions we do are for anyway haha

[@franciscocleiltonsoares3633]

Brazil loves muaythai!!

[@gabrielzeze9799]

Heyyyyyy

[@Shadowrulzalways]

They love Jūjutsu more.

[@hello_world_zz]

Very good short series for people

[@amoreazione3563]

By the way: in a video of Sam-A I'd have expected some of his signatures kicks. They were brutal. I know that kicks are risky in a street fight. But what about low kick on the thigh? They will neutralize anybody who is not trained to take them

[@errorisnt2232]

ขอบคุณครับ

[@amoreazione3563]

Lol, am I the only one who finds it funny to look at Sam-A face at the end of the video when he runs away? ahah, imagine the situation, he gets mugged by someone on the street, he reacts and delivers some of these strikes, he better run off as quickly as possible as he might have sent his attacker in a coma ahah

[@georgieman1910]

a better response is to parry the pushing arms, stepping to the side and launching a round kick to the midsection. Or if you do use an up elbow, you should follow it with either a punch to the throat or a spearing knee. Then teep and run.

[@jiujudo1307]

Muay Thai! It has Judo (the clinch) foot sweeps, Everything to keep you off the ground!

[@warpeace4058]

Make sure to always restomp the groin!!

[@animatrix7]

It a man attacks me with sandals im soccer kicking his big toe to rip off his toe nail

[@pedro-gz3rv]

swadee krap

0:15 Singtongnoi: Son of a... What the heck is your problem dude? Sam-A: What? did I bumped you? Singtongnoi: You'll pay for this you punk! (The two of them are fighting)

[@iandavies6575]

Not so easy if the attacker is much taller or a bodybuilder

[@vpannava]

In that case, you might be able to knee his balls. Or just run like hell.

[@L2kneel]

then fucking run lmao

[@Shadowrulzalways]

Muay thai and BJJ have overcame them countless times. 😂 You’re right. May not be easy, but can still be done. Take out the legs. A bodybuilder is only strong to a degree. They are not conditioned for fighting. I trained in boxing, karate, judo, muay thai and Japanese Jūjutsu. I have dealt with people who lift and are similar stature. If they lack and skill, then you have the wider advantage.

[@iandavies6575]

@@Shadowrulzalways you have to move them around in order to sweep the legs, not that easy with a big strong roider

[@Shadowrulzalways]

@@iandavies6575 You can grab one leg and then sweep them. You have zero concept of grappling and balance.

[@sharkparty1027]

0:25 Anyone else say, "owee"!

[@reillypaulo2386]

the first elbow is bs a push will put u off balance

[@michaeledge430]

Ok but what if instead of a push it was a punch because ya wasn't defending yaself ya getting knocked out

[@jerrylau8235]

Not realistic... Maybe a cross hook combo is over😅

[@yongjiean9980]

this clinch is more of Krav Maga than Muay Thai

[@jav.angel1205]

Young ...you are wrong. Do your research before making silly statements

[@JimmyPtheman]

Krav Maga..hahahah

[@jamesmiles1328]

Lol good one,Muay Thai is proven to work,and they are always in the clinch with knees and elbows and sweeps,Krav maga is more for the army and disarming people,not proven to work at all,no top fighter that’s a Krav Maga fighter,not the worst martial art though

[@TMTcb813]

Not at all ... Krav Maga is eye poke, nut shots . Basically every dirty strike you can throw . The clinch was Muay Thai clinch , he used quarter turns to off balance opponent and set up next strike .

[@user-bk6vq3xm1t]

Krav maga is built off of taking techniques from different martial arts
