99% sure it is just his own. He told us he pretty much invented his Muay Thai after success with a single kind of elbow. People started just waiting for it, because his reputation grew, so he had to invent a complete Muay Thai to make elbows possible from any position. I'm sure he would say that he just created it. Karuhat tells us the same thing about his footwork. Nobody taught him, it came from nowhere.

Hi, I've been practicing Muay Thai for about 2 years relatively lightly and, long story short, during holidays I'm not near the gym I normally train at and I can't get anything like a partner or a bag to train on. What I have built however is a makiwara (essentially a plank in the ground with some light padding). After browsing online, I've found very little in the way of Muay Thai training on one of these. At the end of the day, it's something to punch and kick and knee without injuring myself, but if anyone has any experience with one of these in Muay Thai or any ideas of what could be a good regime, I'd be grateful! Thanks in advance

The height is 1m58, up to the shoulder. The lower pad can slide for different kicks, or knees. It's a tool used in karate for a long long time, so it has a history in martial arts, but the forms for punching are different for one major difference.

Hello Looking for advice/videos/patreon videos on how control the ring, stay off the ropes, cutting off the ring and creating angles. Thanks very much

Hahaha that's such a Thai answer.... I should have re-worded that. I would be curious to know if there is a base to this from a documented style or if it is truly unique. Like some of Karuhat's stuff is truly "Karuhat style" (the way he folds elbows in while climbing people), but it's also based in very old technique that he may not have been consciously drawing from.

His footwork is the best lol. I seriously love it so much. I dunno, I just "get it" (I think so anyways). I'm torn between his footwork and Namsaknoi's for my favorite (they are very different, but I love both). There is so much balance/power coiled up in there but at the same time it's hard to follow where he is going if you are busy watching his shoulders or head. Every thing comes from his feet off the back foot but with almost equal balance, then the hips follow almost right on top of it. It fucks everything up from a distance standpoint, nothing is consistent. He can be both closer or much further away from you than you would expect. I also really like how he turns both feet out, not many people do that. I'd be curious to know if that is based in Muay Korat style or if he calls that his own. In his movement there are full steps, half beats, feints, etc. Just the general basic movement is a lie, and it's absolutely beautiful.

There all kinds of means of ring control, it really depends on your fighting style. But, for an advancing fighter Yodkhunpon's pressuring gallop footwork is a thing of beauty, and a wonderful tool to have:

These are 27 Muay Thai Library sessions filtered out with some Emphasis on Ring Control: Ring Control: Muay Thai Library You can see these filtered out on the Posts Page of Sylvie's Patreon, and scrolling down. You can see tags there, it looks like this: One session that really sticks out in my memory is Kru San of Sitmonchai, you can see that session here: #33 Kru San Sitmonchai - Control of Pace & Distance when Advancing  (56 min) There are lots in that list though. If you really want to dive in you can watch the Intensive Series Sylvie did with Karuhat, which is over 30 hours long. It's not all ring control, but large portions of it are. Karuhat has a whole system of leading the opponent where he wants him to be, limiting options, and then striking where they are going. Intensive Series here.
