As a young 15year old, would be the first time I have met my first Thailand Muaythai Teacher FANTA Attapong at city Leegar. Fanta was a household name in Thailand in the early days of muay thai crossing abroad. Many of the early Leegar students have been so lucky to take away this kicking knowledge.
I continued my studies under Fanta Attapong for 3yrs on. I remember watching this footage of Fanta Phetmueangtrat, fighting my kickboxing favorites Dragon Wilson in Hong Kong, was supposed to be a exhibition.. but watching this better version video, it looks more like a real all out war of kicking power and great footwork from the dragon. When fanta started teaching me his amazing trademark Leg kicks, I didn’t think much of it back then, and went on throughout my career and kicking alot of my opponents legs out and causing alot of stoppage and creating k.os.
As I grew up through the years and I will remember fanta always refined my legs kick during class and there was a unique way of looping it over and chopping down onto the opponent thigh. .
For those that have not seen this fight before ?
Enjoy both of the two oldschool legends before your time.
Fanta reside in new Zealand now and has been contributing to the growth of the sport still, as Promoter and Referee.
