“Not a perfect martial artist, but a good man” -Dr. Erskin from captain america
Only killin on rare occasions
“I don’t care what sport it is, hips are the key” truth.
Learning how to use your hips and legs in unison with your core and your arms is the best way to go
👌🏼😎
You can clearly see where it all comes from, ST. Hats off to your dad. Just as much of a character too.
Wonderdad is the man
This video is great.
hard2hurt What? No sarcasm? No sly jabs? What??

No, Wonderboy is too nice a guy to do that to. Icy Mike is a good guy deep down. Only a complete prick would intentionally be a prick to WB...like Tyron Woodley
We are lucky to live in an age with all these sensei's and teachers willing to share this Information for free. What is your favorite or perfered counter to wild hooks Sir? Thank you , and God bless
"You need good hips to play chess" lmao
""You need good hips to play chess"" You do. It's called "sitzfleich," literally the flesh on which one sits. It is also known as chair glue.
To have sitzfleisch means the ability to sit still for the long periods of time required to be truly productive; it means the stamina to work through a difficult situation and see a project through to the end.
Without "good hips" in this sense your success as a chess player will be severely limited.
I do not know how the Thompson family found out about "good hips" in chess.
Oh I though he said "you need good hips to do chest" as in chest workouts. It still fits anyways
It’s not bad but try turning your hips a little less. 💯
He is the best technical striker in UFC G

Some people don't understand humor.
Always hyped to watch these videos
Btw 1st
"Hips are the key"..Twerk it using all your harnessed hip energy 😂😂😂TORQUE nahhh...TWERK OR TWEEK the hips whatever best works for you! This totally made my Tuesday..I absolutely adore this family and their sense of humor😂😂

00:57 flashbacks of that Pettis fight just went thru Stephen’s head. Lol “Guilty” 😂
Stephen didn't eat a hook though.
Anguel Roumenov Bogoev watch the fight again. Superman hook
I thought it was a straight too, rewatched it tho and can confirm it’s a hook
Stephen "NICEST MOFO" Thompson!!!!!
The master with the father!!! Aka...the grandmaster! Masterfully skilled family
Nice one Stephen! I like this counter.
Always the best advice. But let's talk about your next fight. I want u to have ufc gold by next year this time .. atleast
Totally can throw that elbow in there - wonder when you throw the hook, the elbow can follow the fist? ? Nice move.
@I offer u this 👏👏🤣 Ha ha how did you know I love El Cucuy (besides Chael of course)🤣
Hey Stephen, When is your next fight? I haven't seen or heard Dana White announce anything.
Great vídeo bro
Great to have Papa T. in on this one! 👏 Glad to be able to learn from you guys, even from a distance!
at 3:44: The blonde guy training with the white T-shirt looks very much like Bo Nickal!
Roberto Richardson I thought it was him at first
Who?
Roberto Richardson pretty sure it is
I like this one. I often find in boxing sparring my guard is not as strong as it should be against a hook. I am always aiming to roll under it / step out of range but I don't always manage that. If I get hit with the hook I usually have my glove there but it doesn't do much to soften the blow. I was looking for something relating to blocking a solid hook when I found this video. This is not exactly what I was looking for but you've given me a few other things to try :-).
Papa Thompson seems like he has ALOT of knowledge on striking💁🏼♂️ Not a surprise tho that he’s a wizard when it comes to striking😁
were you expecting to have knowledge on jiu jitsu? hes a karate guy ..
vitor fogaço Please point out the part where i say so💁🏼♂️ I just stated a fact that he’s brilliant WHEN IT COMES TO STRIKING.

Oh man i’d love to train there😫 Only thing stopping that is that i live in Finland so its a bit too far away🤷🏼♂️
Mee too wants i live in India
I live in Australia 🇦🇺 , anyone know their training routine?? I know technique Tuesday lol
Does anyone know if it is possible to drop in for a day?
@@casparbosch5615 Most gyms let you drop in with a day pass, or some have like a free week trial.

^ to my knowledge Finland has alot of top teir places to train your striking. Be resourceful and youll find a good spot.
Check out our page for the Wonderboy interview in Ireland, pure gentelman!
I’ve been throwing my hooks vertically for as long as I can remember and one of the instructors at my gym corrected me, said I should make a horizontal fist… I’m glad to see im not the only who thinks vertically makes the most sense
Yeah my coach has always said to throw hooks with your thumbs towards the ceiling lol but ig for some people it's personal preference to do it differently
@Andrew Love the "Fedor"/Russian casting hooks!He throws them so fast one after the other!
They are not so easy to learn though, imo.A bit of an awkward feel to them initially.
They have tremendous range (casting hooks) and can sneak past the guard.
For those who cannot get their lead hand high enough to block because they are hands low style fighters emphasizing vision as defense, a better, fancier solution to this is to somersault inwards the moment the opponent throws the overhand, rolling in and away from the overhand right, simultaneously ankle picking the opponent's lead leg like Tony Ferguson to establish a dominant position while on the ground. because the opponent's force is heading clockwise when throwing the overhand, it is extremely easy to use that momentum against them while ankle picking their lead leg - a perfect Wing Chun principle of attacking and defending simultaneously. No wonder Tony Ferguson is among the greatest fighters of all time!
0:48 nice fight choreography! I thought Stephen really got tagged for just a second 😁
Ps- you can’t interchange ridgehand with karate-chop! That would make the master Papa Karate-Chop... and that’s just, nope.
I was so angry when I sparred with some kid and he just kept throwing hooks I didn't condition myself to block hooks mostly straight punches and he just kept throwing hooks looked like he was swimming I'll get him if I get the chance to spar with him again
An awesome Technique Tuesday. Escaping on an angle is very important.
Great video from Montgomery Alabama
Who else Loves WonderDad?? Man you are Blessed to have a Father like him. Take care man
Quick question for wonder boy, would you try to block fedors hook with this technique?
Who the hell would dislike this video?
Against Masvidal you gave him a master class
damn i thought the guy drilling in the background was bo nickal😂
6:23 Wonderboy channeling his inner bmf.
You dad.He's the man, same hook than i used in my boxing time 12 years. Was for me a ko tool.. And a lots of trainers, tried to make me change my hook for the other one than your father explain, the danger to brake you hand... Thanks a lot.. Love your stuff, .Your kicking ability is amazing..
Master Gouken and Ken Masters
Really laughed at melon knuckles. I've a melon head. I'm tryin' to get on Mr. T's level. No I ain't. Please don't ever hit me Poppa Ridge Hand, love ya man!
Great video!!! Keep the boxing videos coming so we can put them together with the great kicks you have provided
Stephen and his father throwing the uppercut, left hook like Anthony Joshua
Papa Wonderboy will mess you upppp lol. Awesome knowledge dropped here. 👍👊
Them hands are amazing Floyd Mayweather ain't got knuckles 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I’m an oldie now, but I use to fire a hook counter off the same arm that covered. Always caught them out.
First time I have seen one of those striking dummies with arms on them. Seems very practical and useful, especially for counters.
Stephen thompson ...baddest mothfuckin in ww ufc ..he actully beat masvidal😜😜
How does one counter the lead hook? (as opposed to the rear hook shown in the video)
I find this counter is difficult for a lead check hook because there's less time to see it coming and get inside/in range.
Love your work my man!
“Guilty”
*Pettis flashbacks*
Goddamn
That's better than
Jackie Chan..
No seriously.
This deserves more subs. Great info as usual
Thank you guys really appreciate the knowledge you giving 🤛
Need more combos lol let's work on some more of these and common street fight counters haha
i fucking love wonderboy, he's the NFM, but i really need to somebody teach me how to counter the "superman punch"
I thought this would be MMA specific but it really mixes well with my Reality-Based Self-Defense stuff. 😁
You don't want Sweet T to ridgehand you, go hit that subscribe button.
Last time someone threw a hook punch at me, I ducked under it, and came up with a SHORYUKEN! Gamers would understand. Lol
I like this one
if nyou don't see black guy in a boxing gym, you know it's boxercise at best
Love it. Being a boxing loyalist I was always for horizontal fist with the hook. Papa T makes good points. I'll try out vertical a bit on the bag.
Horizontal fist for medium distance, vertical fist for close range. That's what I always did for years and I never damaged my hands.
Twerk the hips
Is he "Papa Ridgehand" because of his knuckles or because he knows how to throw that ridgehand, kenpo-style?
I noticed two things, Papa Thompson has a Texan accent and Stevie T looks a lot like your dad Wonderboy.
Great stuff as always.
If this was bare knuckle would you block the same way? How do you handle the concern that the fist might slip through your blocking arm?
Do you ever go or have students come over from other schools and styles to train with, here at Odessa Texas in our WTF TKD studio sometimes we have some students come over from a kungfu school to do our sparring class, I’m trying to also do that with some of the other schools like kajukenbo, Tukong, and ATA and ITF taekwondo
I used to hit with my 2 little knuckles and I payed the price. (Nate Diaz would be a perfect opponent BTW)
Wonderboy, why haven't u gone up to 185 for the belt? I think you can take it easy. They might just hand it over honestly.
Wonderboy I saw a video one video of Sensei Dwane from Bang Muay Thai talking about now extending your elbow in a punch. To save your joints, taking care of them in the long run. Also I have seen videos of Tyson when he punches he doesnt extend his arm at times.
Would love to hesr your input.
Knuckle conditioning? Just go light on the bag and do fist pushups on a solid ground :D Maybe add a little wrist flexibility to it and BAM! 2 years later you have an iron fist!
I would love to see what you guys do to condition the knuckles
but what if i'm southpaw against an orthodox? wouldn't be risky going inside towards the strong hand? just asking love you wonderboy!
"As he's resetting I can hit him again" he was wondering just thinking about it.. that's why they call him Wonderboy I guess
WOW impressive stuff. Is this Wonderboy's gym?
Beautiful combinaison for boxing, or Muay Thai good job sir!
K I S S! Love it.
Mr. Thompson Sr. is a treasure!
yo mr.wonderboy can you make how not to flinch in the fight, because i'm flinch a lot during sparring or fight
Had to subscribe. I didn’t want sweet t busting through my door to karate chop my neck
Bullshit. The lean back is the response to a hooking punch. You'd get killed with an uppercut here.
Stephan ur mom favourite fighter bro like if you saw this comment I train everyday
Maybe you can weave to his side after the counter and keep hitting him with short uppercuts while sticking to his side, Pac man and Tyson, needs great footwork
Hand conditioning in 3 things
Makiwara (karate wooden post)
Heavy bag
Fist push ups
Cant wait to see what wonderboy says
Like father like son thanks wonder boy we need to see you doing for us and explain fighter technique and slow motion study for us let’s start with lyoto or Anderson Silva 🙏🏻
I subscribed and the next day sweet T came to my house kicked me in the nuts and said thank you
So if I unsubscribe can i still get karate chopped and/or punched in the throat by Sweet T?
You're videos are so funny..so much respect to you & your Pops! Stay safe 🙏🥋
Do a technique Tuesday on how to slap like Brian Ortega
Where's Saaaaa weeeet Teeeeeeee?!
This guy's father is the hips from Sunderland(hendon) beautiful hes dad and him the g
So basically summon a Spirit Bomb to your hips and let it rip, Check.
Could you launch any kicks into this combo.what is a good counter to the overhand?
I love how u present the information where you don’t come across as an arrogant i know everything but like if u are learning with the lesson as well, like when ur dad says u can elbow your like that’s right MMA or how u ask now am I keeping the hook tight , I think the information presents better when you throw those lead in questions even though u know the answer
How about a video talking about and showing martial arts from movies and tv, is it based on reality and could it possibly work or is it all just fantasy
I literally got hit with this yesterday at the back of the ear and the edge of my jaw and its all swollen got jumped by like 20 guys on 2 of us ahahahah still banged 5
Nice guy cobra Kai lol That’s the only thought that came to my head the whole time I’m watching this video
Great dad produced great son. Im so happy for you guys. Subbed
Wonderboy could u make a video on ways to defend headkicks ??
I feel like you rlly shouldn't block to counter the hook
Well one I staduvervtymortavnahardess universe then…
Ayyyyy there's that saying from Mission Impossible,"Those who can't do, teach" and this boi out here doing both and killing it at both!!!
Lmao you think that originates from mission impossible? That's hilarious
deathboyinc bruh I said Mission Impossible cause that's like pretty popular and more chances of people recalling the quote lmaO chill
Real deal teachers, no gimmicks or ego, just logic.
*Wonderboy and Wonderdad, can we get a video on exercises that enhance footwork?*
Can we go back to the basics like basic punches with footwork :D
