I Fought A Muay Thai Champion

Thai Boxing vs Karate started in 1963, when Kyokushin co-founder Kenji Kurosaki got knocked out by a Muay Thai fighter in Thailand (Bangkok) at Lumpinee Stadium. This sparked the Japanese invention of Kickboxing. As a result, the feud between Karate and Muay Thai escalated. In today's video I aim to end the rivalry by fighting Petch Aek Sitjaopho (Poonnasit Kambung). Enjoy! :)

karate in real fights has too many flaws...this guy has no guard and his stance is limiting his movements and in a real fight his knees and legs are too exposed,,, i do kickboxing and i can tell you that his stance is only ok for semi contact combats were you have to blitz your opponent or play on the speed side... in a full contact combat or in a real muay thai combat he will be destroyed. i sometimes do full contact or light contact combats...i can tell you there's no way i will fight a muay thai fighter because his arts is simply more complete than kick...they can use better the low kicks and they are more prepared, they can use elbow and they can use some clinch and they can use some judo ju jitsu moves while in kick you cannot even clinch. Karate is another level even kyokushinkai is not on the same level than muay thai that is simply now the most complete and stronger martial arts. The proofs are the style in MMA where people have almost no protections... they basically use ju jitsu moves in close combat and kickboxing/muay/boxe punches and kicks with elbow and knees moves. If you see Raymond daniels a real karate and kickboxing champion...when he went to mma he suffered a lot the muay thai moves and low kicks...those are facts and u can find the confirmation of all the things that i said right on youtube. I love all the martial arts...but let's be real, this is only a sparrin... the muay guy is laughing at the other guy

And the reasom for praying It's to teacher yes like the others comment, but the teacher here mean his own normal teacher and also the ancestors like those who invent it, improve it, include the teacher from the ancient times and etc. That's the meaning of Wai kru And actually it's not just Muay thai that do this, most of the thai culture thing have this too, like the dance, performer things, all have this culture, praying to teachers before using it, it's like showing respect to the art.

Oh, so the reason he lean back on the kick is because that umm... go through with it thing If you block it can probably break your arm And it's kinda too fast to dash dodge if it's muaythai kick?

Sensei Taidji Kase and his student sensei Ilija Jorga went to Thailand to try Ilia's skills. Ilija Jorga beat couple of Thai boxing champions, and main impression was that they are very resilient. Hi has to nock them couple of time before they can not stand up again.

Karate looks like its based more on control and power while muay Thai looks like its more focused on unleashing more power, in my opinion

I'm sure you went in knowing that putting your foot anywhere near someone's face is super disrespectful in the buddhist culture, which is most likely why is was on your ass in .2 seconds when you threw that second kick.

He’s actually THANKING his teacher because we were taught that Muay Thai is a weapon of friends and enemies. In combat your enemy but outside combat your friends.

Guillermo Monroy 15 hours ago

Great video! One thing i noticed is his body is looser until the moment of strike. Your form is excellent, though rigid perhaps by a mix of nerves and the karate style. I certainly would also be very nervous as well fighting a master. His attitude is great.

I really like the roundhouse comparison, it really sums up the techniques of the two styles. Karate uses a more quick tap to the ribs, while Muay thai is like a fucking baseball bat too the inner organs.

As a whole Karate is better. But if you’re talking fast learning Muay Thai is much simpler too learn, Very very hard too perfect. Karate is alot more complex and is better but takes a lot longer too learn in its entirety. Imho.

amy jeffs 20 hours ago

i found out quickly when i used to enter all styles competitions as a karate based fighter,that our style needs major modifications to hang with a kickboxer,or thai boxer. The karate guard is not tight enough to protect from hook punches especially...which isnt a technique thrown in karate kumite.I went on to thai/kickbox as well as do karate,which then i believe gives you all the benefits of karate striking, and movement,with a far tighter guard of boxing. Also it adds elbows and clinch knee strikes to you attacking ability..It will make you a far more acomplished fighter.

That ritual is called the Wy Kru, highly based on their superstitions of good luck and fortune when fighting. Dave LeDuc of lethwei also uses the jabbing kick all the time

Thanks for fillin me up with lots and lots of knowledge

SonicArtZ l Designer Clan Day ago

Its funny to see that karate seems do not know anything about muay thai like this weird sounds are not a mindgame Its the same like the " SH SH SH " Boxer do all the time But muay thai use other grunts then in boxing/karate and all the sports Some say its even better to do muay thai sound but its a lot heavier ( Just search for muay thai grunts ) If its better idk Il stay with the " Sh " till im better in muay thai :) ( No hate! )

Dimitry Kingship Day ago

muay thai is very much better than karate unless a mma fighter who understand a mix martial art will be better ..

Newbie ATX Day ago

Wushu, Karate and Tkd thinks in terms of continuous linear systems and kuzushi. Boxing and muay tai are static, they maintain limited but very firm grounding .There is no kuzushi or exploiting movement imbalances on each step and retreat. Try fighting sanda or kick boxing ...

drake hatter Day ago

Soon as that second round kick landed he was like "oh hell nah"😂😂

Phil Powell Day ago

I don't usually watch your video's! But this video to me is the best video that you hav ever made !! THANK YOU 😁

Jesse Enkamp Day ago

Thanks a lot! 🙏

trorisk Day ago

the "jab" low kick look like the savate kick "le chassé". There are also forbidden blows in savates that are not in muay thai which makes both boxes very complementary.

I was hoping for a shoryuken to the chest causing a giant scar.

Awesome video! Would love to see you try some Jiu Jitsu.

Jesse Enkamp Day ago

I love Jiu Jitsu!

AlexanderPews Day ago

Im really tired of art vs art discussion, "Which one is THE best".. I'd say it like this, Any martial art can offer something useful. Its about having an open mind and love what you do.

Joseph Pruitt Day ago

Wow muay Thai guy can't control his feelings. Gets hit in the head and imedetly gets pissed off

Poonnasit fighting stance is amazing, would be a great fighting game character.

That 'woo woo' noise is sound when Thai boxers throw punches like boxing and karate. It a sound that Thai people make when we satisfy with something.

This is so awesome man

Why would you fight a real fighter 😂

Jesse Enkamp Day ago

For your entertainment!

Gary Host Day ago

All the weird noises and laughing are because Thai fighters never spar hard. Sparring is playing. Thai people save the fight for the fight, sparing is just for training muscle memory.

The Jerald McClain Show Day ago

Hey Jesse, love your channel. I'm the guy who's always saying that you're going to be the guy who saves Karate in the new era of BJJ/MMA dominance. So, my black belt was in Isshinryu and I've dabbled in Mixed Martial Arts and TaeKwonDo. I've NEVER liked the axe-kick because if your opponent catches said kick they can take out your supporting leg or worse, hyper-extend the axe-kicking leg. My question is, do you personally see value in the axe-kick?

charles graves Day ago

i think the main reason karate does win against what ever is because there is less sport technique behind it. if it was you or him being able to walk out alive its anyones game but since it was sport you had to Jesse needed to move more and needed to be more aggressive

Almost read it as Kuroki Gensai

I took both kickboxing and muay thai in the same gym so I learned boxing/kartee and muay thai in tandem, it's weird for me to think of them as separate.

Daigo Belmont 2 days ago

i think the muay ta fighter just enjoy the fight xD

Lester Jones 2 days ago

Karate practitioners always keep their hand guard low and most of them never follow up with their kicks because they are so used to skin contact kicks and punches and not to the face but only to the chest (kumite rules). Henceforth making karate a somewhat obsolete art form unless you practise it with other full contact striking art forms like muay thai or Dutch kickboxing. Even though these styles have been influenced by karate itself, the rules of these combat styles allow for more freedom to dish out damage.

5.14 the thing he do is "ไหว้ครู" or pray for teacher you can tell what part of Thailand or sub-style of him by look at this movement if you familar with muay thai enough It is culture form ancient that we fight in the ground not in the ring so fighter need to look around the ground for know how surface it is and take adventage with it
