Lerdsila’s Untouchable Defense 

Hope you enjoyed this breakdown on Lerdsila, this is my first breakdown of the year! I've been taking a hiatus because I've been showing new training methods to olympians, world champions, and elite coaches. We have produced and documented interesting results. This will lead "Striking Breakdowns" to focus more on techniques and training methods going forward. Thank you for your support and patience as I took this hiatus and re-shift the direction of the channel. Let me know your thoughts about this breakdown 🙏 If you want to fight like Lerdsila, we made a course together => www.lawrencekenshin.com/lerdsila

I am a little proud to have lived next door to him in Phuket. He was always smiling and always friendly. Typical cool Thai dude.

Amazing to have you back! Looking forward to the next videos

Lawrence Kenshin has always produced great breakdowns, but this is an exceptional breakdown on a beautiful system of defense. Jeff Chan aka MMAShredded teaches some of these same skills.

Woah, thank you for this one! Now I understands that my favorite Muay Thai style is the Muay Femur. Could have search it before myself but I just practice for the fun of it. Saenchai is my favorite. Lerdsila close second. All the names that you mentioned proved it more. Can't believe it took me this long to figure it out! 🥰

Glad your back Lawrence, your technique breakdowns always bring another level of insight and appreciation ❤ Also thats amazing you got to ask the man himself!

Love your videos Lawrence, it's always so in-depth, insightful and yet fun to watch too.

The most impressive part for me is how he reads his opponents, he's not reacting, he's anticipating

He's a master of giving and taking away. He'll stand flat footed, or drop his hands, or stick out his face to bait the obvious attack, and then dodge it easily because he is conducting the opponents attack.

Love the new breakdown! finally you are back 😍

The more you talk about Lerdsila, the more ill tune in

Met him great guy

9:22 Not only does it help with balance the arm swing creates momentum and therefore speed to the lean back as well.

The problem with leanbacks is that 'it's very vulnerable to faints. Once you lean back you can't lean back any further and if an opponent does a faint to get you to lean back and follows it quickly with another attack you're pretty much f-ed. For a nice example look at Silva vs Weidman 1

Absurd-skilled-killa!

the eel on sketboard 😁😄

Nice to see you back. Love ur vids. Keep up the good work :)

Guess who's back with a vid about the king of lean back!

Finally a video!! I was missing your videos man!

Thanks for the video Lawrence! I’m glad you sound well friend.

I’m waiting for a course with Arjan Pipa on your website 😢

You got it backwards, the matrix was inspired by him 🤣

2:42 god mode moment

Love this

Amazing to see you upload again

The first time I ever saw that kind of (extreme) lean back was from Oley Kiatoneway.

Thank you for those quality videos . Is there a fighter in curent muy thai , kickboxing or mma using a lot of evasion currently?

Glad to see you back

Lerdsila don’t dance, he just pull up his pants and do the rock-away. Now lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back.

i like see a fight between lidrisa & seanchai or bukawa

Sagat ,Lerdsila,Dieselno,.Kaoklai,Buakaw,Roampn Dekker Mine icon Hero's

Lerdzila is the Michael Jackson of muay thai 😂

Not hitting him and he not hitting you back must feel like playing russian roulette 😂 no boom, no boom, no boom, boom out dark

Is in the Matrix

1:53 absolument

Thank you!

Examine better all his movements and you'll find that he's not just leaning back.. He's literally dodging both punches and kicks. Because of the presence of kicks, his way to dodge is adapted to the context and he has to overextend and/or widen more the space between his feet. For example, at 11:38 he's not leaning back, but he's almost turned to the other side with his spine straight, even though he's still facing the opponent. It looks like an exacerbated slip. At the start of the video, you can even see him ducking like a boxer. So, let's not say again that dodging in Muay Thay is detrimental. It isn't so! You just have to know what you're doing. That's all.

Will train that hard

HE'S BACK! 🎉🎉

W

You left us starving!

♎🚬👍

Thought you quit?

King of lean backs….I think that title maybe Oleys…

First

None of his opponents are top fighters, which disqualifies any legendary status, but good on him for using his skills to become a spectacle and entertain people. Make money without taking damage.
