TAKIMOTO II is the most insane documentary I've ever seen [Discussion]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OP: FightFanatic2024
Just finished watching TAKIMOTO II. I'm still shaking. The palace fight scene is absolutely unreal. 29 people vs 50+ armed terrorists. No guns allowed because they can't damage the palace. So they just... fight. With their fists. For like 40 minutes. This is real. This actually happened.
TopComment: MartialArtsNerd
The fact that they were literally trained by Tony Jaa, Van Damme, Iko Uwais, and Donnie Yen makes this feel like a movie. But it's not. It's a documentary. I can't process this.

I live in Bangkok. When this happened, the whole city was in lockdown. We had no idea what was going on inside the palace. Now I know. Holy shit.
Reply: ActionMovieBuff
Van Damme taught him the 540 spin kick. And he actually used it. In real combat. Against a Spetsnaz guy. I'm losing my mind.

Can we talk about how the camera crew almost died filming this? They got shot at THREE times. And they kept rolling. Netflix owes these people hazard pay.
Reply: FilmmakerDude
That's the most dedicated documentary crew I've ever seen. They followed them INTO THE PALACE during an active terrorist attack. Absolute madmen.

When Takimoto used the Muay Thai elbows Tony Jaa taught him, I literally stood up and screamed. My neighbors probably think I'm insane.
Reply: ThailandLocal
Tony Jaa posted on Instagram after this aired. He was crying. Said he was proud of his student.
Reply: MuayThaiPractitioner
The way Takimoto chains elbows and knees is textbook Tony Jaa. You can see the influence. But it's rougher. More desperate. Because it's real.

The scene where Sara grabs the Spetsnaz leader's ankle so Takimoto can land the 540 kick... that's not choreography. That's trust. That's years of training together. I'm emotional.
Reply: WomenInCombat
Sara is incredible. She held that ankle for maybe 2 seconds while getting kicked. That's all Takimoto needed. Real teamwork.
VanDammeFanboy
Van Damme is going CRAZY on social media right now. He's posting every 5 minutes. "MY STUDENT USED MY KICK" "I TAUGHT HIM THAT" "NETFLIX CALL ME"
Reply: 80sActionHero
The man is 64 years old and more hyped than anyone. I love him.
Reply: KickboxingLegend
He's already demanding Netflix make a movie with Takimoto. Playing himself. Teaching him the kick.
Reply: RealistDude
Honestly? I'd watch that.

Technical Analysis: The Palace Fight in TAKIMOTO II
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OP: BlackBeltAnalyst
Okay, let's break down what we saw in that palace scene from a technical perspective. I'm a martial arts instructor with 20 years experience, and this is the most fascinating real combat footage I've ever analyzed.
Takimoto (瀧本)
Primary style: Muay Thai (Tony Jaa lineage) + Silat (Iko Uwais lineage)
He switches between styles mid-fight. When facing strikers, he uses Silat's evasive movement. Against the grappler (Spetsnaz leader), he tried to keep distance with Muay Thai but got taken down repeatedly.
The 540 kick at the end was desperation. He was shot in both legs. The fact that he even attempted it is insane. The fact that he landed it is a miracle.
Johnson
Sammo Hung influence is CLEAR. Heavy hands, uses his weight, doesn't waste movement.
The way he threw that guy into three others? That's Sammo's "bowling ball" technique. I've seen Sammo do that in movies. Never thought I'd see it in real life.
Chen Zhiming (陳志明)
Wing Chun. Donnie Yen's IP Man style.
His chain punches are textbook. Fast, straight, no wind-up.
He took out 6 guys in like 90 seconds. The efficiency is scary.
Nikolai
Scott Adkins taught him those kicks. You can see it. The spinning heel kick that came out of nowhere? Classic Adkins.
Then he got shot in the leg and kept fighting. On one leg. For another 10 minutes.
Martinez
Michael Jai White influence. MMA-based. Ground and pound.
He got his side sliced open and you could see his intestines. AND HE KEPT FIGHTING.
That's not martial arts. That's pure will.
Sara
Silat. But the real Silat. Melayu Silat from Yayan Ruhian's lineage.
Her movement is beautiful even in chaos. She flows.
The ankle grab on the Spetsnaz leader was perfect timing. She knew exactly what Takimoto was going to do.
TopReply: BJJPurpleBelt
The Spetsnaz leader's grappling was legit. That was real Sambo. He read Takimoto like a book. "Muay Thai and Silat mix. Aggressive but weak defense. Once I grab him, it's over." He was RIGHT. Takimoto got thrown like 6 times.
Reply: OP
Exactly. That's why Sara's intervention was crucial. Takimoto couldn't beat him alone. No shame in that. The guy was a trained special forces grappler.
StandUpFighter
Can we appreciate that these people chose NOT to use guns to protect a building? They took bullets to protect art and history. That's honor.
Reply: HistoryBuff
The palace has 200+ years of history. Bullet holes would have been permanent damage. They literally chose to bleed instead of letting the palace bleed.

As a Thai person, TAKIMOTO II made me cry
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OP: BangkokNative
I grew up going to the Grand Palace. My grandmother took me there when I was 5. It's sacred to us. When I heard terrorists attacked it, I was devastated. I thought it would be destroyed.
Then I watched this documentary.
These people—foreigners, most of them—fought and bled to protect OUR palace. They chose not to use guns because they didn't want to damage OUR history. They got shot. They got stabbed. One guy's heart stopped three times.
For us. For Thailand. For a building that means nothing to them personally.
I'm crying writing this.
ขอบคุณครับ. Thank you. All of you.
TopReply: ThaiInUSA
Same. I live in America now but I called my mom in Bangkok after watching this. We both cried.
The scene where Takimoto drives a tuk-tuk up the palace stairs... I laughed and cried at the same time. That's so Thailand. Only in Thailand would a tuk-tuk save the day.
Reply: IsaanGirl
My father is a palace guard. He was injured that day. He told me about the "farang who drove a tuk-tuk like a madman." Now I know who he was talking about. ขอบคุณนะคะ Takimoto-san.

The part where they arrested the corrupt politicians... that was the real victory. For years, these people were untouchable. And then these outsiders came and took them down. 27 arrests. Finally.
Reply: ActivistThai
One got away. He jumped from the 12th floor rather than face justice. Good riddance.
ExpatInPhuket
I've lived in Thailand for 15 years. I've seen a lot of corruption. A lot of injustice. This documentary gave me hope. Real hope. These people proved that fighting back is possible.
"こんなんで死んでたまるかボケェ"
I don't speak Japanese but I learned this phrase. It's my new life motto.

The fact that Tony Jaa, Van Damme, Iko Uwais, Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung, and Scott Adkins ALL trained these people... and then they ACTUALLY used those techniques in REAL combat... this is the greatest martial arts story ever told. And it's not fiction.
