#32 Arjan Prahmod and Golden Age Nongkipahuyut Gym (26 min)

This is a special session in that Arjan Pramod is a level of legend that is slowly vanishing. It’s not the usual Muay Library session, the techniques are secondarily taught, the runtime is shorter, but this is a glimpse into what is fading in Thailand. His gym in Nongki Buriram produced the second most champions in all of Thailand (the first b...

Broken Tusk, Healed Heart - documentary project with Patrons

Sylvie's husband Kevin writing.

Sylvie and I have been struggling with ideas of what to offer to the generous supporters who pledge $15 or more. We've always wanted to keep content at a low pledge amount so everyone can afford to benefit from and enjoy it, but we also want to give something special to those who are editing up...

#31 Kru Daeng Kiatbusaba - Southpaw Dracula Guard (64 min)

In many of these Muay Thai Library sessions I’m filming with a legend or kru who I really do not know personally. It’s a fresh look at their muay for both me and you, but this Library is devoted to all of the technique of Thailand I can possibly archive, and this will include trainers I do know, and that know me as a fighter. This is one of ...

Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn - Muay Khao Craft | 42 min

Fighter of the Year, Lumpinee Champion belt retired due to lack of opponents

Dieselnoi is like no other man, like no other fighter, and like no other teacher. His enthusiasm and “live wire” energy are impossible to match. I love the kinds of teachers who don’t even bother with pads, they just break down a movement and then riff on ...

Pornsanae Sitmonchai - The Power of Hook and Low Kick | 74 min

Rajadamnern & 2x Lumpinee Champion

Pornsanae is a very notable kind of man. He’s funny, he’s cheeky, he’s vain in this wonderful Thai nakmuay sort of way that goes along with pride and confindence, he has a kind of strut about him that you can only admire, and when he shows you something from his style you “get” it...

Jaroenthong Kiatbanchong - Femeu Muay Thai Hands | 50 min

 3x Lumpinee Champion - WMC Champion over Dekkers

Jaroenthong is often pictured as a trinity with Samart Payakaroon and Somrak Sor. Khamsing, the three of them as distinguished Yodmuay (Top Fighters) of the Golden Age of Muay Thai: absolutely skilled and confident, finessed fighters but also the playboy handsome boys of Muay Thai. B...

Bonus Session 6: Yodkhunpon Sittraipum Front Side Attack | 77 min

Yodkhunpon Sittraipum

Simultaneously held a Lumpinee and Rajadamnern title (rare).  Aptly named "The Elbow Hunter of 100 Stitches" by the Thai press.

This is a bonus session with Yodkhunpon, “The Elbow Hunter of 100 Stitches.” He’s a natural Southpaw and works with me in this session on a system that uses the left side almost exc...

Karuhat Sor. Supawan - Tension & Kicking Dynamics | 103 min

3x Lumpinee Champion 

Karuhat holds a special place in the Muay Thai Library in that he is my personal hero, and I’ve seen him enough times that there is something of a linear progression in which details of his absolutely unique Golden Age style is revealed. And every time I go see Karuhat, I expect to demonstrate the work I’ve put into...

Sagat Petchyindee - Part 1

3x Lumpinee Champion, 3x Rajadamnern Champion

The first thing out of Sagat’s mouth when I walked out of the changing room with my bag slung over my shoulder, ready for our session, was, “I want to give you more power. End the fight more quickly.” Then he did this tight, but not tense, series of punc...

Luktum is a former Sityodtong fighter and trainer, who recently opened his own gym behind the house he share with his wife and 3 children in Pattaya.

Bonus Session 4: Hippy Singmanee Ultra Violence | 30 min

Hippy Singmanee is a very unique man. He’s almost constantly smiling or laughing, and he’s got a twinkle in his eye that betrays a cleverness that I wouldn’t entirely trust. Not in a nefarious way, but in an Epic Hippy would be the trickster character. His gym is in this bizarre back-street maze of Bangkok, near the Town in Town hotel, and th...

 Boraphet Pinsinchai (Kru Ten)

This session with Kru Ten is one of my favorite training sessions ever. I was told he’s a Muay Khao instructor, but I had no idea how prolific his technique was going to be. But it wasn’t just that he focused on clinch and knees, it’s the way he focused on them and his g...

Singdam Kiatmoo9 - Precision in the Basics (71 min)

 3x Lumpinee Champion

This is just an incredible session, mostly because it draws out how beautiful and important the basics are. Here I am opposite a man who has beat Saenchai more than once, won a Lumpinee belt three times, I’ve got nearly 200 fights and 5 years in Thailand and he’s going over the very, very basics of Muay Tha...

Bonus Session 3: Joe Hongthong - Muay Khao and Mid-Clinch Throws (44 min)

 

Bonus sessions are often kind of like extended out-takes, work done with trainers that might not have complete coherence by itself, but there is still a lot of good stuff in them. And this session with Joe “Hongthongnoi” of the Hongthong Gym in Chiang Mai is an example of that. It was marred a bit by the fact that I had fought the two ...

Attachai Fairtex - Teaching Timing and IQ | 72 min

2x Lumpinee Champion Attachai Fairtex is one of the great femeu fighters of Thailand. Namsaknoi, himself an elite femeu fighter of legendary status called him his most difficult fight as he just was too hard to read. This is a window into that quality, and how to build it.
