[@disorganized2k]

winning without taking damage is one of the fundaments of martial arts in general, but a lot of people sadly forget about it in combat sports

[@InkyGw2]

JCS is a legend in France Thank you for taking time to interview him

[@yeahdaegzzzzz9831]

Legendary for being a drunk who beat his wife...Google it

[@PRSer]

It really feels like he is trying to teach a lot in a very short time frame. He genuinely looks like he wants to teach as much as possible during the training session. There are so many of his own personal fighting techniques and concepts that he is trying to show. All of it is great and worth watching more than a few times to fully grasp. This guy is truly a legend. I had no idea he is still in Thailand teaching. If anyone doesn't already know. This dude used to be one of GSP's coaches. Skarbowsky is quite well known to be a heavy drinker and smoker during his prime fight days. He's just one of those guys that were born to fight. Just a tough son of a gun.

[@crazypato3752]

How was he able to fight while drinking and smoking ?

[@moussetache1815]

He actually said he let the "GSP drunk random French dude" hype live its life and he found it funny but he's not that much of a heavy drinker, he just has this nonchalant kind of style and relied on this very important aspect of muay thai, namely keeping calm and composed. One of his co-workers in Paris even said the wai kru is used as a way to focus on this, to progressively get ready to fight without feeling too much agressivity or pressure, it can serve as emotional conditioner/stabilizer in a way.

[@jameljeanjacques8511]

[@guiguijol]

@@crazypato3752 This is a urban legend man. Stop believing what TV tells you. He and his guys were having fun at a pool called "the rehab" when the TUF producers called him to shoot the episode with GSP. 50$ a drink, which is totally unreal for a French person, so he wanted to drink it till the end, they mistook it for being a drunk.... (how stupid is that btw?) He doesn't smoke at all. Never did. BTW not even GSP says so during the episode, rewatch it, he talks about Thai fighters "they drink they smoke....", not about Jean. I spent 1 week at one of his gym, he's a very humble and sober man.

[@Jenjak]

I tried his tactic in sparring a bunch of times and it's very effective. Just using one leg as your main weapon simplifies everything and the opponent is not necessarily more equiped to deal with it. Because you can teep, jab, fake the teep, teep again, jab, fake the jab, roudnhouse, jab, teep. It overloads the opponent's mind with very simple things and gradually opens more options.

[@crazypato3752]

Which leg to use ?

[@prof_Pomari]

I guess the one you prefer haha, as long as you can variate your rhythm and your kicks

[@looFA_4]

@@crazypato3752 I think he mentioned it depends on their open side, so if you're Orthodox and so is your opponent you'll blast them with the lead leg and if they're Southpaw you'll use your rear leg. I also think Sylvie had a video with Yodkhunpon where they focus on breaking your opponent down with the lead side and using your rear side to finish them later in the fight.

[@paddymcdoogle6753]

Very smart man. Explains how to fight PROPERLY.

[@kickboxerVK]

He seems like a very cool guy. This was super insightful. Sometimes we over complicate things clearly, he talks a bout having good balance and block, 1 good kick in the right places and range, creating an opening for a good punch that was his recipie for success

[@dfpguitar]

As an autistic, love the exceptional detail in your videos - regardless of the topic. I'm not even pursuing Muay Thai at the moment but it is fascinating to hear people explore a topic with such depth and importance to details.

Masterclass - Merci de l’avoir rendu dispo en ligne.

[@FaceItYouAreInsane]

Some things I took away from this video (no timestamps sry): Blocking kicks by bringing the blocking leg diagonally forward to intercept the kick. Form a right angle with your wrist and knee while blocking the kick to catch it in between. Only use one leg for kicking to the open side because it can't be caught there and the impact is higher than on the closed side. Aim for the wrist with the roundhouse to knock opponent off balance. Use your foot instead of shin when aiming for more distant targets like back wrist and hind leg. Use an analogous whipping motion with your arm while kicking. Stand on front leg to free up back leg for blocking. You can still bob back and forth between both legs to be able to block with both if you need to. Intercept front clinch diagonally with your back arm and put front arm on neck. Push opponents front arm down, lean on it with your chest and pull opponent down with your weight. Don't look down while clinching and keep your elbow low to block knees. Aim for bladder and liver with knees and teeps and use your toes with the teep.

[@QASSHE]

Just watched the whole video. So insightful and informative. Thank you, Sylvie. I just wanted to clarify - does kicking with one leg just apply to the roundhouse kick? Or teeps as well?

[@8limbsUs]

His reasoning applies to teeps as well. I fo into this in my Patreon version, but a benefit that he's describing but not explicitly saying is that you simplify and shorten your "stack" and thought process for selecting weapons against someone probably faster and more experienced than you are; so not having to "decide" which leg to teep with and just keeping it to one fits his reasons for the kicks.

nooo the mic 🥲🥲 please not forget to bring 2 mics next time plss, the advice are too precious 🤍 (awsome content thx you)

[@8limbsUs]

We did not forget the mics, its our usual shotgun mic. It wasn't meant to be an interview, explanation-heavy session. All the MTL sessions are actual training sessions (with very little talking), but Jean-Charles had something else in mind and it evolved the way it did. We never mic up a Muay Thai Library session because they are usually very physical. We just had to roll with how it naturally came out, which was unique in its own way. One reason it was made public for everyone is because it was so different.

How come I haven’t heard you talk about “ Dany Bill “ 🤔 He’s one of the legends if not the legend . You know 💡

[@8limbsUs]

Dany Bill is a historic non-Thai fighter, but my focus and passion is on preserving Thailand's Muay Thai. Jean-Charles Skarbowsky, apart from fighting at a high level in Thailand in the early 2000s, remains closely connected to the Thai history of the sport and its fighters. He owns the former legendary Jockygym in Bangkok (where we've documented several fighters already like Silapathai, Ponsaknoi and Kru Wihok, and where we filmed this session), and also has for years had Thai legends in residence in his Paris gym, like Arjan Pipa, Robert, Krongsak. Other admirable non-Thais have just been too far afield from the focus the Muay Thai Library project, but I appreciate the suggestion!

[@Jenjak]

I think Dany Bill lives in California...hard too reach I guess.

[@marlontoribio1795]

[@j.ogaminghd3310]

I just watched him vs bukaw and I’m VERY confused as what he says here conflicts what he is doing in the fight. For example, his weight in the bukaw fight is on his back foot a lot as he his bouncing the front leg, also he says only use 1 kick but he uses his right kick and switch kick in the fight. So not gonna lie I’m very confused. Also the way he explains to block the kick and block catch seems very dangerous as it leaves the head open? I’m not hating at all, guys a legend just genuinely confused? Maybe I didn’t understand what he was saying. BUT the weight stuff is he talking about, did he discover his after his career? And the 1 kick stuff? Honestly so confused lmao😭 cause rn I’m playing around with were my weight should be but idk.

[@colorfulbleeding]

This fight is the worst to look at because he took it last minute or something like that and did not know he would fight bukaw. I don t say you are wrong because I have not watched his fights in years but look at other fights of him.
