One of the pillars of Wonderboys success is his humility. He's a forever student. He is a legend in his own right but when the opportunity to learn comes, he falls right in line with the other students and listens to the master. No ego. Doesn't drink his own kool-aid...there's a lesson there!

Senchai's humour, friendliness and humility is genuine but he's an absolute monster in the Muay Thai ring. There's not too many times or recorded fights that showcases his mad ability and skill when he gets really really serious against opponents that pissed him off but he transforms into a complete wrecking machine. Most of the time he beats his opponent by superior skill and timing making them look amateur. Very rarely do you see him go full berserk mode. Truly a real all time great in the Martial Arts world. I feel completely privileged to have met him during his time training in Phuket.

I loved all the technical knowledge in this video, but what really stands out to me is how Saenchai is just having so much fun with it. He's an absolute weapon when he wants/needs to be, but he's full of respect and so down to earth, and between Saenchai, Wonderboy, Seth, and Icy Mike, the joy just radiated from the screen. I loved all the little reactions and jokes during the sparring. So happy you all got together with Saenchai, this must have been a unique experience.

@anarchclown 8 ай бұрын

One of the things I have seen about Saenchai in this video that makes me impressed is the fact that he is so willing to take the techniques he teaches himself. I've seen so many teachers teach, and then have someone else be the dummy. He just teaches the technique, then acts the dummy for the person he taught it to. Even as a fighter he felt like he was quite low ego in comparison to a lot of other fighters I have seen over the years and this carries over into him as a teacher it seems. The way he smiles when people "get" his techniques is also indicative of him actually loving what he does.
