Full Sparring | UFC’s Stephen Thomson’s Upsate Karate Gym Meet the YOKKAO Fight Team
Спорт
Muay Thai Vs Karate! Throughout the travels of the 2023 YOKKAO USA Tour the Fight Team find themselves at the incredible Upstate Karate Gym, home of UFC’s Stephen “Wonderboy” Thomson. After an incredibly inspiring tour of the facility it was time to get to work with yet another stellar seminar. Once the change in technique for these incredible martial artists was established it was time to put a clash of styles on the line with some sparring. With Duangdawnoi kicking things off the style difference was apparent. From the classic forward marching Muay Thai stance, to the side profile and bouncing footwork of Karate. Both Duangdawnoi and her sparring partner traded kicks, both landing in their own right showing the effectiveness of both given styles. This was seen throughout all rounds but most notably in a fight fanatics wildest dreams, where we saw the GOAT of Muay Thai go up against UFC legend Stephen Thomson. In a truly humble and lighthearted exchange between these two striking icons as they laughed and threw their equally unique strikes in a back in forth to satisfy any fight fan. What a day, what an experience for all. Thank you Upstate Karate for your hospitality. How do you think Muay Thai matches up against Karate? Let us know in the comments below!

Very talented students in both schools. Nice. 🙏
Can’t wait til I’m able to join a gym and start my training
Damn. That girl threw multiple axe kicks
Is that Sensei Seth as the second person?

3:50 best fighter 👏
lol 14:42 that little hop kick needs to see some UFC use.... absolutely devastating
Icy Mike at 0:24!
14:54 was funny :D
Girl at 3:46 is disrespectful. Starts with a jumping side kick to the body and then face, then tries for an axe kick? Wow

Karate fighters have great balance for single leg kick combos ☝️ It’s her style, and she’s not even hitting hard
3:43 she was the beat fighter in the class ☝️
Need more speed. But very good friendly sparring 👍
Saenchai treating Icy Mike like an old man! XD
This ep Duangdownoi have to spar with big person that seem normal. 😂

Tbf they're doing Muay Thai sparring. Karate in a full fight would be trying to use the range and blitz in and out and not play the game of standing and exchanging like they're doing. I train Muay Thai and agree it's the best striking base but I don't think it's that simple of a match up
