The level of detail Skarbowsky gives on everything (defense, weaponry, etc.) shows just how long and hard this man has sparred and trained... Even while drunk from a late night party, he could whoop George Saint Pierre's own fighters the very next day at sparring! The most French badass in history.

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.

How was he able to fight while drinking and smoking ?

@moussetache1815 2 ай бұрын

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.

@Jenjak 2 ай бұрын

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 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.

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.

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 2 ай бұрын

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.

Btw, Sylvia - not sure if it's possible, but is there a change you could interview these golden era legends: Ananthasak Panyuthapum, Singdam O Aukritt - or Singdam's gym mate - Kruekrit Sor. Naya-arm? Incredible kickers and technicians (Ananthasak actually beat Singdam twice; Ananthasak being a brutal elbow-hunter in his own right). Not sure if you can, or if they are even open to interviewing/are still coaching, but I think Ananthasak is still coaching the Thai army in boxing.

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.

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!

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.
