Even though you mentioned his time in the US in your opening words, I did not make that connection while watching and digesting this session. But now that you point towards it, it makes perfect sense. Seems like, in some underlying, meta-level way, Kaensaks way of teaching is a lot more similar to what we are used to here in the West, compared to ... let's say... Karuhat's way of teaching. Maybe also because it is more about specific techniques here and their application. Whereas Karuhat (we started with the Intensives on Vimeo) is less about plain techniques and more about spacing, timing, feeling, pressure and rhythm, if that makes any sense. It's a bit harder to comprehend through the screen, but your voice-overs help a lot here.
Yet, both Kaensak and Karuhat are so much fun to watch.
On a side note: We watched the two Kaimuay Diary episodes with Dieselnoi at Petchrungruang yesterday and they are SO awesome too. I wrote it once and I write it again: following you and Kevin on all your channels and diving (almost daily) into the library is, imho, the closest thing to living and training in Thailand without actually being there. We love and enjoy every second of it!
My personal Top-5 library "hidden gem" sessions so far:
