Overview

Lawrence Kenshin Striking Breakdowns is a YouTube channel created in November 2013 by Lawrence Kenshin. It focuses on "the art of legendary striking": the techniques of great strikers and historic fights in Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA.

The channel is independent, runs a companion website at lawrencekenshin.com and had about 604,000 subscribers as of September 2026.

What you'll find

The videos are carefully edited breakdowns built around one fighter and one technical idea. In 2026 the channel released pieces on Samkor Kiatmontep and a kick drilled millions of times, on Tawanchai PK Saenchai and his left kick, on Rodtang Jitmuangnon facing a kickboxing great, and several videos on Saenchai, including his sweep against bigger opponents and why he wins without chasing knockouts. Other videos cover "the most feared genius in Muay Thai," how to beat a much bigger opponent and a grandmaster whose fighters look faster than human.

MMA gets its turn too, for example with a video on Asadula Imangazaliev, billed as "Dagestan's Bruce Lee." Short clips zero in on a single move, such as Lerdsila Chumpairtour's dodge.

Why follow

Each video explains the reasoning behind a technique: why the fighter picks it, how he sets it up and what it forces the opponent to do. Slow motion and repeated sequences let you see details that disappear at full speed. The narration stays on the fight footage and the technique, not on the news cycle.

The channel helps you understand where part of today's MMA striking comes from by going back to the great names of Muay Thai. Many of the fighters covered competed long before highlight clips were common, so the breakdowns also work as a history lesson.

MMA Official's take

Lawrence Kenshin is for people who train striking, whether Muay Thai, kickboxing or MMA, and for fans who want to understand stand-up technique. Uploads are less frequent than on news channels, and each one is built to be watched from start to finish. The most recent uploads date from spring 2026.

Start with the Saenchai videos, then watch the Tawanchai PK Saenchai left kick breakdown to see how the channel connects a technique to a training method. The Rodtang Jitmuangnon video is a good follow-up if you prefer pressure fighters.
