How Sagat Deals with the Fear of Fighting

Learn from Legends: http://www.legendarystriking.com How to overcome your fears in the ring? Muay Thai legend Sagat Petchyindee recounts his fight against another giant of the sport Dieselnoi, and shares his amusing strategy. 62 year-old Sagat is the real life inspiration of the Street Fighter character. He holds 11 title belts in Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Boxing, and has knocked out his opponents in 151 out of 317 fights. Flashback to 51 years ago, 11-year-old Sagat fought in his first Muay Thai fight. A sign of the legendary badass that he would grow up to be, he fought not just once, but for 3 nights in a row. The rule of the fight is that you have to knock out your opponent to win. Young Sagat won 2 out of his first 3 fights. His fight purse in those days? 10 Baht (about USD 30 cents today). 1 Baht back then gets you 2 bowls of noodles. ----------------------------------- This project is part of a documentary series with Human of Fighting.
