(Public) Jean-Charles Skarbowsky - Keys to Winning in Thailand | Muay Thai Library (Public) 

Never stop these videos please . I had a stroke and I train in my house with the help of these great videos.

I love his take on fighting, winning without taking damage is a real win.

The most informationally dense 1 hour I have ever seen in this library so far, just amazing. He is such a living legend, thank you for your effort in making this posting for us.

JCS is a legend in France Thank you for taking time to interview him

It really feels like he is trying to teach a lot in a very short time frame. He genuinely looks like he wants to teach as much as possible during the training session. There are so many of his own personal fighting techniques and concepts that he is trying to show. All of it is great and worth watching more than a few times to fully grasp. This guy is truly a legend. I had no idea he is still in Thailand teaching. If anyone doesn't already know. This dude used to be one of GSP's coaches. Skarbowsky is quite well known to be a heavy drinker and smoker during his prime fight days. He's just one of those guys that were born to fight. Just a tough son of a gun.

I tried his tactic in sparring a bunch of times and it's very effective. Just using one leg as your main weapon simplifies everything and the opponent is not necessarily more equiped to deal with it. Because you can teep, jab, fake the teep, teep again, jab, fake the jab, roudnhouse, jab, teep. It overloads the opponent's mind with very simple things and gradually opens more options.

Very smart man. Explains how to fight PROPERLY.

commenting before i even watch, thank you, a big skarbowsky fan, up there with dekkers imo...too bad you didnt get to do something with him RIP Dekkers

20min in and already got alot of value that's when you know genius

He seems like a very cool guy. This was super insightful. Sometimes we over complicate things clearly, he talks a bout having good balance and block, 1 good kick in the right places and range, creating an opening for a good punch that was his recipie for success

Ah, the sniff test at 33:44! Hilarious. All jokes aside, beautiful video. Thank you to Jean-Charles, Sylvie, and Kevin. Great to see these full length public videos so new-comers can see the value of what is in the library.

Thank you for making this public, respect to you and Skarbowsky you both are legends in the western world.

Insightful and interesting as always. I should pay a visit to Skarbowsky gym someday ! He talked quite clearly and calmly on this video, I guess he was sober

Thank you for the information. Would love to see a seminar with you and Danny bill. I believe he trained at the jocky gym during the Golden Age.

Best channel with the best guest. Skarbowski est une légende 😎

He was one of George’s St-Pierre’s coaches on The ultimate fighter! Can’t wait to watch :)

That description of the different use of legs depending on positioning and stance is some seriously high level stuff. These are extremely impressive. Thank you for taking the time and sharing this with us.

Hello from France, i had enjoy this video. 😊

Brilliant!!!!! Thanks!!!!

THANK YOU SYLVIE!! jean is a funny sarcastic guy hahahah

Thank you

As an autistic, love the exceptional detail in your videos - regardless of the topic. I'm not even pursuing Muay Thai at the moment but it is fascinating to hear people explore a topic with such depth and importance to details.

Thank you very much sylvie and chong I almost feel guilty watching this and not paying. The gems 💎 dropped In this were priceless.

Wow. What a channel !!!!!

1:13:07 Holy shit I did not see those last few lines coming from JCS Really struck a chord with me What an amazing session, thank you so much Sylvie, Kevin and JCS

Skar the legend

best episode

Some things I took away from this video (no timestamps sry): Blocking kicks by bringing the blocking leg diagonally forward to intercept the kick. Form a right angle with your wrist and knee while blocking the kick to catch it in between. Only use one leg for kicking to the open side because it can't be caught there and the impact is higher than on the closed side. Aim for the wrist with the roundhouse to knock opponent off balance. Use your foot instead of shin when aiming for more distant targets like back wrist and hind leg. Use an analogous whipping motion with your arm while kicking. Stand on front leg to free up back leg for blocking. You can still bob back and forth between both legs to be able to block with both if you need to. Intercept front clinch diagonally with your back arm and put front arm on neck. Push opponents front arm down, lean on it with your chest and pull opponent down with your weight. Don't look down while clinching and keep your elbow low to block knees. Aim for bladder and liver with knees and teeps and use your toes with the teep.

Hello from orlando florida 🇺🇸

merci! c'est top!

John was in Israel giving us a seminar with one of his students. I must admit it was really amazing, one of the most fun training sessions we had. He also has a healthy sense of humor

fucking love this Sylvie, Jean is a legend

Nice!

YES!

Great 👍🏻

Big fan of Jean Charles...a great teacher whose instructionals have helped me, and i now smile 😃 alot( also thank you 🙏 Silapathai for your guidance) LOVE the photographs as well 💯

Just watched the whole video. So insightful and informative. Thank you, Sylvie. I just wanted to clarify - does kicking with one leg just apply to the roundhouse kick? Or teeps as well?

The first time is saw Jean Charles was when GSP brought him in on the ultimate fighter series he was completely drunk or hungover by the looks of it and he proceeded to school all of the ufc trainees 😂 certainly a French Muay Thai legend I believe he’s a muay matt ? Or am I mistaken ? Great vid as usual Sylvie when does the Thongchai vid on the library go up ? Excited for that one he’s such a badass

These are some Jungle secrets damn absolute gold

Sylvie’s actually really pretty. Thanks for being such an inspiration.

finally!

Now I want to go back and watch the ultimate fighter episode he was on with GSP

Great video, thank you for this legacy of Jean Charles ❤ "Warming up is useless, we'll do it old school" 😂 JC S. with Greg

MASTER!!!!!!

JC notre légende ! Et bim ! Osu 🙏🏽

Wish the camera had a wider view. This was a great interview

Beautiful

YAAYYYYYYYY

Cool

How come I haven’t heard you talk about “ Dany Bill “ 🤔 He’s one of the legends if not the legend . You know 💡

nooo the mic 🥲🥲 please not forget to bring 2 mics next time plss, the advice are too precious 🤍 (awsome content thx you)

🙏🙏🙏

"yea I know dead leg." *look of sadness cuz she knows what's coming lol

Jack slack brought me here 😊

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Lmao bro became immortal after his tuf appearance ❤😂

In regards to kicking with the foot: is it best to kick with your toes flared out or curled and pointed down?

how you call the Rhythm in thai? yol ? i've been looking for the term for days

I find a lot of his teachings here in corey sandhagen fighting style

I remember when GSP brought Skarbowsky to the ultimate fighter and Jean come drunk and destroyed everybody. Funny video (not for the fighters)

this lesson is better then a few years of mediocre trainers!

I remember this guy from the ultimate fighter, GSP’s guy he brought in to beat down the contestants lol

I just watched him vs bukaw and I’m VERY confused as what he says here conflicts what he is doing in the fight. For example, his weight in the bukaw fight is on his back foot a lot as he his bouncing the front leg, also he says only use 1 kick but he uses his right kick and switch kick in the fight. So not gonna lie I’m very confused. Also the way he explains to block the kick and block catch seems very dangerous as it leaves the head open? I’m not hating at all, guys a legend just genuinely confused? Maybe I didn’t understand what he was saying. BUT the weight stuff is he talking about, did he discover his after his career? And the 1 kick stuff? Honestly so confused lmao😭 cause rn I’m playing around with were my weight should be but idk.

there's a competition to make more noise when kicking the bag 😂😂

49:45 Can anyone tell me please what the sport is JCS is referring to that the Thai legends practised that helped with their flexibility?

I really want to know the trick about how to make loud noise kicking the bag ;)!

🙏❤🇫🇷💪🏻🥊

Les gens ne se rendent pas compte de qui est JC.ce mec aurait du gagner Buakaw et a été meilleur pendant un moment mais,faut pas le dire en plus il est Français 😉🙏💪🏻🥊🇫🇷JC est une personne très humble et très ouverte.rue du Borrego Paris 20🥊🙏je me demande si JC n a pas profité de la situation pendant le corps à corps 😜
