Kevin and I are starting a new effort in our Preserver The Legacy project. With the support of our patrons we are hiring translators to create subtitles for classic Muay Thai fights. We’ve all enjoyed watching great fights and hearing the enthusiasm, but we are missing a ton of information when we can’t understand the commentator. The fight above with Chamuakpet going for his 8th national stadium belt vs Paidaeng, younger brother of Nokweed Davy, is our first translation fight. There are so many great things in the commentary, from discussion of how the odds were moving through the fight, to the specific strategies Chamuakpet was using as an older fighter, at the age of 32. It’s all part of making the Golden Age of Muay Thai more accessible to everyone.

If you’d like to support this translation project and so many other things, and get access to the huge Muay Thai Library, consider becoming a patron, the suggested pledge is $5.

You can study Chamuakpet’s Muay Thai straight from him, in two sessions from the Muay Thai Library project:

Below is an extended 7 minute excerpt from session #81, lots to learn:

Who Did Chamuakpet Thing Was Great?

We also asked Chamuakpet who he thought were the 5 greatest fighters of all time. Check out his list of the greatest of the greats:

Watch His Battles With Langsuan, there was a Murder in the Ring

Kevin and I also do Watch With Mes where we sit down and geek out at old fights. One of our watch with Mes followed his two fights with Langsuan, two incredible Muay Khao masters, during which Chamuakpet’s manager was shot in his corner.

Muay Thai

A 100 lb. (46 kg) female Muay Thai fighter. Originally I trained under Kumron Vaitayanon (Master K) and Kaensak sor. Ploenjit in New Jersey. I then moved to Thailand to train and fight full time in April of 2012, devoting myself to fighting 100 Thai fights, as well as blogging full time. Having surpassed 100, and then 200, becoming the westerner with the most fights in Thailand, in history, my new goal is to fight an impossible 471 times, the historical record for the greatest number of documented professional fights (see western boxer Len Wickwar, circa 1940), and along the way to continue documenting the Muay Thai of Thailand in the Muay Thai Library project: see patreon.com/sylviemuay
