I hope we can get some good footage of his return to the ring. He’s one of my all time favs. Not just for his ram muay. His technique, skill, and fight strategy=awesome.

Hmm He does look like he has A Lot of Balance when he does it, and very flexible. You can see his physique is Good.

Is it 6 7 or 8 Lumpinee titels he´s won? I have one of his fights with Saenchai, think he beat Saenchai twice. And You Gotta be good to beat him even thoug he was a bit heavier. But damn he looks good when he FIGHTS. I respect the tradition of Ram Muays, but Im all about the Fighting, not saying all you guys arent, by my attention span is somewhat fleeting and I must admitt that I watch max 50 sec of it and then fastforward, but reading all you guys praise of Namsaknois Ram Muay is making check it out so here I go. Havent seen many of his fights but he is definetley Skilled, and his Record of titles says ALOT.

I am a relative MT noob, and I think this guy seems to be an ideal fighter to look up to. Very simple, very technical. His Ram Muay shows his beautiful balance and coordination. Someone somewhere talked about how effortless he looks during his fights. It looks like he’s just training, but actually beating the crap out of his opponents.

I trained with Namsaknoi last year in May when I was travelling around Thailand. I had no idea who he was at the time. He was an awsome trainer and it was my best training experience while I was there if not ever. He was retired and was just training and reffing fights. He was an excellent trainer. I forget the actual Camp name but it was just outside Thong Sala on Ko Phangan. Thanks for shedding some light on him.

Can’t wait to see this.

But seriously, why is that everyone that has a video camera thinks it’s a great idea to shoot straight into the light? Can someone please set an example and put up a tripod and keep the light behind themselves?

Numsaknoi…definitely one of my top 5 fighters. He is GREAT!!…He is one of the Greatest fighters of all times and YES….he has the most beautiful Ram Muay I have ever seen in my whole life. Thanx a million for that Nopstar. Can’t wait to see him fight. Him, Buakaw and Chok Dee made a nice tri at Por Pramuk.

I’ll ask neungsiam, but I actually doubt it. 135? that is waay too big for neungsiam. Also, he is one of the fighters in Thailand that sports the traditional Muslim garb. Another thing that’s pretty cool besides his English, is his hair is very 80s mullet like- short on top and a bit long in the back!

Can’t wait for his return! mid 30s? I remember him fighting in KOMA in 2002 (??).
