“Blue” Muay Thai?

If my memory serves me correctly, this guy/girl :) (aka “ladyboy”, as they call them in Thailand) appeared in Thai action films "Chocolate", "Sanctuary", "Dynamite Warrior", “Ong-Bak 2”, and then in several videos with Thai stuntmen published here on the website Martial Arts Information. Even Seiji Ozeki, leading actor in the film “Yamada: The Samurai Of Ayothaya”, mentioned in his blog that almost all Thai hairdressers, make-up artists and stylists in Thailand were gay. And about the film crew he said this:

Amazing Thailand!! There is constant laughter during filming, someone is always chewing something and giggling.

His name is Sakchay Yukachen (Sakchay Yukachen), and there are many people like him in Thailand, but on-screen fighters are rare...

I present to your attention his recent video and showreel.

    Thai paradox.
    Questions, just questions. How could 1 Thai “pistil-stamen” overnight outshine the directors of fight scenes, many major action films, of last summer (I wonder if he came up with the scene himself or is it not his work)?
    In principle, there are answers, but in my opinion they go deep into the “pockets” of the financial directors of the films =) Because, to this day, I can’t understand how people who staged the fights in “never back down” could have “fixed” things like that in the expendables? The director of the video “Blue Muay Thai” shot a wonderful demo-fight, did an excellent job (that’s what it means, a mind unclouded by Hollywood parties). This experience (filming short demo scenes of fights) should be adopted by European choreographers the sooner the better. I would really like to to see similar videos, for example, with some type of karate or jujutsu with Shorinji Kempo or with military taekwondo would also look very interesting. That is, we already have such experience, stunt teams very often shoot similar videos, but they are unfortunately oversaturated and overflowing with empty tricking and elements of “Extreme martial arts” that are so fashionable today. In the video with Sakchai Yukachen we see a pure demonstration of the technique of the style, techniques, attacks, counterattacks, defense, that’s what needs to be shown, the essence of the system, what it consists of. Of course Let’s not forget about the visual part: “thick partisan beards”, “a suit of rags and burlap” or “pimp style” do not greatly attract the viewer to the screens.

    Hmmm, I immediately had a suspicion when I saw him... He’s great for becoming a stuntman - I think that you can hit him with all your might :)
