Let the Legends show their own grace... best way to show/see.

It's like a swing motion. Effortlessly powerful. Beautiful.

Love your clips and how you explain all the tiny details cause they make the difference. The more Muay Thai I train the more I realize how much I don’t know. And that’s exactly what you document with you clips.

Muay Thai is beautiful. Thank you for showing the world the worlds strongest stand up style. And I love how you introduce the legends a lot of younger people might not be aware of. You do them all a great honor.

Sylvie, you often ask how we feel about your video styles. This one ROCKS! perfect for short snappy videos. Shows the beauty and elegance of the movements. Love the slow mo and the music as well. Great vid thanks

It’s amazing how much styles of kicks are out there. I honestly think this is how I normally kick but some of the people that train with me always tell me to keep turning my hips more

Perhaps they're advising you how to get the best out of a roundhouse kick, which is arguably most common in Muay Thai. Every trainer I've had has stressed the importance of the roundhouse kick.. Once that basic is mastered, Perhaps trainers would have no problem you learning this unique vertical kick... I am just exploring this idea based on my own experience. I agree its very frustrating. I believe a muay thai fighter needs to be able to roundhouse but can probably get by without this unique kick displayed here, and perhaps not the other way around

Really beautifully edited and narrated technical video. I’m really grateful this came up on my feed. I’ve been coaching combat sports for 2 decades and it’s rare to see a video that captures the art of what we do. Thanks!

Its awesome to see the greats display their version of muay thai techniques..... 😎🙏👍

That was surreal looking! And that relaxed frame....I love the speed, you can see how light and smooth his energy is until it is concentrated....this is truly a piece of film art, great work. Take care, I am putting more people on to you daily, I tell them "See, she goes and gets the secrets from the legends."

Absolutely beautiful. Love the work you're doing with these videos

I was just watching videos on the golden kick before you posted this!

This channel is so amazing its a rare beautiful gem

Brilliant vid, the slomo is so fluid and graceful

Damn that was smooth as hell. So cool. I've been kicking for 11 years non stop and I'm nowhere near that level of expertise; amazing to see.

great video have been working this technique the last few day

From your older videos on the golden kick I started making it part of my regular roundhouse. So now that's the way I throw it naturally, to me that additional tip is so massive it should be a staple in teaching/learning like; going on the toes, pivoting, swinging the arms, etc.

I LOVE ALLL OF YOUR VIDEOS I AM GOING TO PURCHASE YOUR MUAY THAI LIBARY SOON AS MY MONEY COMES IN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR DEPTH OF PASSION FOR LEARNING THE ART OF MUAY THAI TECHNIQUES, I AM GOING TO LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOU AND I CANT WAIT TO ABSORB THESE BEAUTIFUL TECHNIQUES/KNOWLEDGE 🙏💙

I'd love to see footage of his kick from the front and back angles just to see the trajectory from a first person perspective.

For me this style and trajectory of kick is the true ring Muay Thai roundhouse - that sets it apart from kickboxing and fc karate etc. I learned from silver and golden age fighters (including at NungUbon's gym) and this was how they taught me. Poetry in motion!

We learned that in our Gym. You basically throw your kick very relaxed straight up and slighty twist your hip at the end. If you are loose it becomes super fast and you can slip them in when opponents have their elbows not too close to the body (like you said) It is the best way of kicking imo. You can do the same with a lowkick. They become super fast and harder to see/block

It's how I was taught a round kick in JKD, although in JKD it's called a Hook kick because it comes from the direction that a hook punch comes. It is especially straight up on the lead leg.

So smooth...

That is amazing

Amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥊

Beautiful

Awesome video its been a great help but quick question why is that the golden kick is not used more often today seeing as how effective it is during the golden age, thanks.

Every bit of momentum seems to be carried through his leg and his hips. The rest of his body, mainly upper, is so relaxed, which is why everything like his chest shoulders is carried forward.

1:40-1:50 Karuhat looked sooooo happy right there.

Very cool.

Such a really scary tricky kick kinda the same way that the crippling leg extensions kick I used to ask why do they look so lazy kicking and it feels like a bag of bats when it hits you he used to say you must learn to flow thanks for the video

Sylvie, you're always so self-critical. While not perfected at the time of this film, your kick looks beautiful as well. All the best.

Christ, the way he moves in space is just ridiculous. The non-contradicting contrast between his lightness and lethality. The beauty of his body. He's a wonder.

It's like raking leaves, let the rake do the work or let the body's motion do the work.

Does the fact that this kick comes up a bit more vertically rather than horizontal into your opponent not put you at risk of kicking their elbow?

Oh he’s ripped! Is he preparing for fight, again?!

In my utmost humble opinion. “There is nothing more rewarding than getting ones thesis validated by those who exceeds oneself in excellence” “True Martial Skill equates to Death disguised in elegance” Impeccable as it is beautiful to observe, also to note that with this particular trajectory it enables one to kick in such a way that when applied with a proper set up/ or as a follow up technique, it is almost impossible to perceive/ detect before it lands, also to note when applying the torque with the upper body enables the kinetic energy to follow through, and when it hits you, it’s like trying to holding a hand grenade after the pin is pulled and trying to prevent it from going off by clamping your hands around it. Ie No matter if it’s hits you clean or not, ( you block/ catch/ parry the Kick) the kinetic force will still have a major impact unto one’s frame.. can’t even imagine the sensation.. Truly devastating... Appreciations for sharing these experiences with all of us Sylvie :). Sincere regards. Fellow martial artist. Tom Framnes. Norway.

Even with a tight guard this kick is more likely to land into the arm rather than up into the elbow. The wide kick hits elbows a lot because it doesn't bend.

I've studied posture and bio mechanics in depth for years. My guess is the power is coming from the QL and PSOAS, which is disfucntional in the 99%. Why? Because most people don't have perfect feet(and an awful lot more reasons). Karuhat has nearly perfect alignment which is incredibly rare everywhere. at 2:40 you van see sylvie's ankle/foot alignment is off (on the left) that i would guess she could never achieve this kick (perfectly)*without addressing it first. Google location of Q.L. and you might see what I mean. He has incredible mobility in his hips, which is due to his perfect feet mechanics, which directly translates to upper spine mobility. Watching him move like that is just amazing. Reminds me something of Alex Pereira. When the foot collapses inward, it tightens the IT band. This effects the glute medius which in turn effectss the adductors. The adductor has a fascial connection to the Psoas which is connected to the QL. I will bet good money that no one with a flat foot could ever come near to this kick. Love ya stuff sylvie

Nah and it's because of this: Back in the 80's - mid 90's there was the highest level of competition and fighters. These were the days when the camps still only focused on Muay Thai purely for money. The "Rules" in lumpini and radjadern stadium were different but gamblers didn't have as much power as today. So it was more of a style vs style whereas nowadays due to points (influenced heavily by gamblers) every elite thai needs to practice clinch and force clinch + throws. They can't just fight as they would. The silver age of the 60's and 70's were still developing Muay Thai techniques but the 80's and 90's had fully integrated boxing + all the unique styles of individual fighters. Think Oley, Wanchanoi, Samart, Dieselnoi, Sakad, Somrak, Karuhat, Chamuekphet and more! Tough, tough fighters. Truly, Saenchai would struggle against the calibre of these fighters. Again - the golden age allowed fighters to fight with their natural strengths and styles + there was no technology like today .. Most kids in camps have phones and ps4's to play during down time - in the 80's and 90's they had tvs and muay thai tapes to watch. Big complaint some camps have today is the amount of distraction now thanks to phones and gaming consoles which weakens the desire. for training. However --- As Muay Thai in Thailand is weakening due to tech and gambling influence, western Muay Thai is getting stronger and stronger. The gap is closing fast because "westerners" are more disciplined and dedicated (according to Samart).

There is only one man who can throw it, but it remains an inspiration.

I see a lot of power loss by the hip not continuing thru the lick. Half of his power is left out of the kick. It looks like a foot kick, not a leg/hip kick, where all the power comes from. Just my observation.

@LordFarquaad35

Jim Cook oh it’s a hip kick alright. Many people observing from the outside make the mistake of thinking that it is a weak kick but it is definitely not. The hip rotation occurs at the very last second before the kick makes contact. How do I know this? Well it took me about 2 years to master this kicking technique.

At first I thought you bruised your shin abd elbows. Than I realised it's ink...

so loose. he is fluid
