Zak Man a spin kick is part of MMA... NOT intentionally trying to permanently injure your opponent by specifically attacking the knee joint fully aware that you will most likely do permanent damage to your opponent.... so by your logic eye pokes, ( which Jones does ) eye gouges, biting, pulling hair, tearing someones ear off, groin strikes should all be allowed
@@baroneb5043 so does a knee kick wtf you talking about, plus cte is real and can be way worse than having a bad knee, not cause you cant see the damages right away means it's safer I think you guys have a problem with the intention behing the knee attacks rather than the real consequences
Zak Man CTE is real no question about it.... however every fighter makes the conscience decision to go fight fully aware of the potential negative side effects of repeated head trauma. Your point, arguement makes ZERO sense... You are basically saying that Thompson saying he doesnt agree with knee strikes is hypocritical because Thompson kicks his opponents in the head....

it is very encouraging for me (as a person with multiple joint injuries which include knee, hip and spine) to hear that you have so many knee injuries yet managed to not only get to the very top tier of MMA using a very leg dominant style, but you are still there as one of the very best.
It's called an oblique kick because the power generating "through" the hips comes "from" the obliques. Originally the kick came from the rear leg, like a cross, landing on the knee turning your rear leg, pushing through with your hips turning the rear leg into your lead leg.... power coming from the turn & pushing your hips from your oblique.
Michael Caryoh made all of that up oblique is in reference to the trajectory of the kick. A side kick is side ways while an oblique kick is at an oblique angle. Wtf are you talking about ahaha 😂
A really useful tool is that rear leg oblique kick to the shin and calves. It doesn't cause as much damage but really messes with movement and timing and is extremely easy to learn. That being said, I'd say that everyone should learn the oblique kick for self defense because it's easy to learn, doesn't require much flexibility, and flows naturally even for non fighters and it's gonna stop or at least slow down any non experienced attacker a lot. You don't need to use it in spareing, though I think the shin and upper thigh versions should be used then, but you absolutely should train it for self defense.
Not sure if anyone has clarified but I assume they call it the oblique kick because of the Vastus Medialis Oblique which is the quad muscle that extends the knee.
ButterBall facts and they were 2 guys that were ranked super high in the vision and jon jones made them look like his sons for both the fights. Although his last 2 has been shaky, gotta respect the goat Edit: And Jon jones faced them right away after years away from the sport
@@ButterBallTheOpossum Neither Gus or Smith showed up to fight at all, so using them as examples is pretty weak. Both were shells of their former selves and barely even threw punches. Smith kept curling up in a ball crying, rather than fight. Santos and Reyes actually wanted to win, and did clinch 3 rounds (but didn't pay the judges as much as Jones did). Hell, Reyes landed more punches than Gus, Smith and Santos combined.
This kick is often used in Savate (french kickboxing) its called Chassé Bas(oblique)et Chassé bas latéral (Low side kick) and the target is above the knee .
Obliques means "neither parallel nor at right angles to a specified or implied line; slanting. " The kick is called that way because it slants downward.

For a world class fighter, I don’t know how the hell wonderboy is so damn nice! He’s the type to use “dang!” Instead of “damn”. Wish there were more fighters with his personality outside the cage.
What's old is new... In Hapkido, the first kick, when done with the heel (or even flat of the shod foot) like a side kick, is chopping side kick. The second kick, with the toes pointed to the outside, is called a scoop kick.
Jon's 3 greatest weapons: stretched arm and fingers ready to stab your eye, low/middle side kick to tear your knee apart and bought/corrupt/incompetent judges. Reyes and Santos both beat him.

@@migoorara8637 Jon Jones turned tail and ran away from Dominick Reyes punching on a few occasions during that fight now how can you call that octagon control in favor for Jones
Massively frowned upon kick in Asia too! In Goju Ryu and Kyokushin they call it ‘Kansetsu Geri’. Was taught by Fairbairn in his combatives program tho the SOE in WW2!
Happy Birthday, WB! Reyes definitely should have gotten his belt. That whole thing about "beat the champ to be the champ" is silly. He beat the champ and it's ridiculous to make excuses as if Jones isn't allowed to lose. Glad you mentioned Larkin, he was a creative and interesting fighter. Too bad he got himself cut to the B leagues.
I like that rear leg version of the kick and I use it plenty but I always preferred to keep the leg mostly straight and use the hip to get that extension outward.. that way, if they’re a heavy dude and trying to push through your kick they run into that brick wall of a straight leg.
What do you think about the Taekwondo version of the cut kick for this? Basically a sliding front leg side kick. In Taekwondo because of the rules this would be aimed at the upper portion of the hip at the bottom part of the pad in order to stop an incoming kick. These were really popular for so many years that people were leaving their leg up to counter kicks until they changed the rules to disallow such behavior.
Stephen, the "oblique" part of the name refers to the angle of the kick's trajectory, not to the part of the opponent's body as a target. It goes down and out on an oblique angle.
JON JONES WON In my eyes, Jon Jones knew Dominick Reyes was going to bring in every tool he has. Jon Jones kinda tested them tools to see how they was, and like Jon said he felt them, And Dominick Reyes couldn't keep it up till the end like a heart of a champion. At the end of 2nd there was no more tools Jon slowly pick him apart. I wish there was no judge or time. But the judge rule it to Jon. Dominick Reyes Wasn't the champion so you can't run from the champion at the last moment of rounds. You need to prove your the champion well heart of the champion. Jon Jones prove that IT WAS 2-2 5th round Jon took the heart of the champion and keep everything going not Slowly run the clock out because you have no tools left But fair play to Dominick Reyes. I love you too buddy

Was a bit unsure about Wonderboy's problem with oblique kicks after the Till fight but I get the permanent damage thought process about why he doesn't like them which I can respect even knowing if it's legal they aren't doing anything wrong by using it.
Jon won. He control the octagon and put pressure almost the entire fight minus a couple of resets where he ran backwards. And Jon dominated the grappling and wrestling aspect. I don't know why this win is such a controversy. Reyes already started gassing in the second.
if you make your opponent back off and you still get outpunched you lose that round that's why moraes won the aldo fight aldo pushed him back but moraes outlanded him nothing more to it no takedowns in the first three rounds either
I saw on sherdog forum that it's called an oblique kick because of the angle of the kick. I guess there's something called an oblique triangle 🔺️ which I don't remember from geometry
I find that when I use this kick in sparring, It usually makes my opponent Almost fall forward with their upper body first towards me. leaving their head open to my hook or cross for a split second But if I time it right (especially when opponent is coming forward) it’s gold. I aim for the mid Thigh. Doesn’t hurt as much the knee but it forces a slip up, opens up defences
If Masvidal beats Usman, they'll have him fight Connor as champ. I think regardless of what happens in that fight, the next fight for Masvidal will be that wonderboy rematch or Covington. I'm personally really hoping for that rematch though. I definitely think it's gonna be tougher this time around for WB, but I still think it'll be a great fight.
Its called a oblique kick because when thrown properly the power comes from your obliques feel your side and throw the strike you feel the muscles stretch
I see your point, but what would you say to those who says if you dont wanna get hit by it you have to switch your stance,, they are just taking advantage of your karate stance Which has it prose and cons?
The muscle used more so than usual in the executing of the oblique kick is/are the oblique(s).. I think, again I think, this is how the kick got it's name.
First person I seen do that kick was Bruce Lee. He did it in the movie return of the dragon against Chuck Norris, and before that he did it on a TV show called Long Street.
Happy birthday wonderboy. Not sure if your gonna see this or reply to this. Not sure if you remember but on a live stream way back I recommended the Anime The Guyver and the Movie The Guyver (1991) and The Guyver Kick. I'm wondering if you ever watched it or not Curious on what you thought of it, that's if you watched it of course.
It’s a sidekick. Just one more version. I’ve taught it for 40 years. Even as a check to an aggressive opponent without a chamber, it can do damage. Also to hip. Timing it so your opponent impales himself on it. Never used with intent when sparring.
Happy birthday WONDERBOY! 🤘also i had dominick by split decision 48/47 3 to 2 1 2 3 dom 4 5 jon 2 was the closest in my opinion but i was counting the strikes the whole fight and dominick won rd 2 outstruck jon one of the greatest fights of all time aswell just like you and t wood both of them 🖤🙌

Oblique kick because of the diagonal or “oblique” direction of the kick. “Downward diagonal kick” is a mouthful, hence oblique kick.

Was a bit unsure about Wonderboy's problem with oblique kicks after the Till fight but I get the permanent damage thought process about why he doesn't like them which I can respect even knowing if it's legal they aren't doing anything wrong by using it.
Is it better to throw the kick with a slight twist on your legs vs just a straight front kick to the thigh/knee? Talking about the rear leg version.
Jon won. He control the octagon and put pressure almost the entire fight minus a couple of resets where he ran backwards. And Jon dominated the grappling and wrestling aspect. I don't know why this win is such a controversy. Reyes already started gassing in the second.
if you make your opponent back off and you still get outpunched you lose that round that's why moraes won the aldo fight aldo pushed him back but moraes outlanded him nothing more to it no takedowns in the first three rounds either
@@pauldank3453 in rd 3 jones won a takedown and that's huge. That's why he won Rd 3.
Nice break down of the knee kicks.
I saw on sherdog forum that it's called an oblique kick because of the angle of the kick. I guess there's something called an oblique triangle 🔺️ which I don't remember from geometry
I find that when I use this kick in sparring, It usually makes my opponent Almost fall forward with their upper body first towards me. leaving their head open to my hook or cross for a split second
But if I time it right (especially when opponent is coming forward) it’s gold.
I aim for the mid Thigh. Doesn’t hurt as much the knee but it forces a slip up, opens up defences
Thicc man with the wonderboy back flip. nice.
nice editing !
If Masvidal beats Usman, they'll have him fight Connor as champ. I think regardless of what happens in that fight, the next fight for Masvidal will be that wonderboy rematch or Covington. I'm personally really hoping for that rematch though. I definitely think it's gonna be tougher this time around for WB, but I still think it'll be a great fight.
Happy birthday dude. 👋
I have a plate in my wrist and wanna get back into jiu-jitsu and striking. What would you do?
Its called a oblique kick because when thrown properly the power comes from your obliques feel your side and throw the strike you feel the muscles stretch
Happy Birthday on your Technique Tuesday Mr. Thompson! Have a great week 🎂🎂🥋🥋💖
Sweet T's backflip was 100% legit.
That backflip was wonder boy Lool I actually thought 💭 it was the other dude
Now that karate is in the 2020 Olympics would you do a live stream of that
I'm very happy with u Stephen u put karate back in MMA after lyoto y'all my favs type fighters win lose or draw
the origins of what’s up everybody
Reyes clashing kicks with Jones really slowed down those Kicks.
Try the Arm Post Defense used by Jon Jones and Khabib Nurmergdov
I see your point, but what would you say to those who says if you dont wanna get hit by it you have to switch your stance,, they are just taking advantage of your karate stance Which has it prose and cons?
4:22 "NOT SUPPOSED TO" I'm confused, is it against the rules to attack the knee directly? Then why is it allowed? Does it get a warning?
Right wish they would elaborate on that. Is it like a chop block in NFL?
Nice backflip Sweet T!
Happy birthday Mr. Wonderboy!
If you google the definition of oblique the reasoning behind naming the kick as such is clear.
Knee stomps should be illegal. The rarely, end fights but they often shorten careers.
You mean oblique kicks?
The muscle used more so than usual in the executing of the oblique kick is/are the oblique(s).. I think, again I think, this is how the kick got it's name.
Joseph front kick is frontwards. Side kick is sideways. Oblique kick follows an oblique angle .
Happy Birthday Wonderboy !!!
when your backflips so dope you get an instant sleeve tat
First person I seen do that kick was Bruce Lee. He did it in the movie return of the dragon against Chuck Norris, and before that he did it on a TV show called Long Street.
His greatest weapon is banned by usada *wink wink*
You know that picogram helped him win the fight? I know you truly believe that "wink wink" 😂
*wink wink*
Then how did ge manage to become the goat of mma?
Happy birthday wonderboy. Not sure if your gonna see this or reply to this. Not sure if you remember but on a live stream way back I recommended the Anime The Guyver and the Movie The Guyver (1991) and The Guyver Kick.
I'm wondering if you ever watched it or not Curious on what you thought of it, that's if you watched it of course.
MICHAEL VENOM PAGE VS STEPHEN WONDERBOY THOMPSON
I LIKE THE KICK IT OPENS UP OTHER ATTACKS
It’s a sidekick. Just one more version. I’ve taught it for 40 years. Even as a check to an aggressive opponent without a chamber, it can do damage. Also to hip. Timing it so your opponent impales himself on it. Never used with intent when sparring.
George Kondylis it’s a side kick thrown at an oblique angle which is why is an oblique kick
Back flip like it's nothing.👌
dayum... he backflipped so hard it gave him tattoos :O
Would you ever consider going to 185 or is 170 where you are going to end your career? Love the videos brotha they help a lot God Bless
Happy birthday WONDERBOY! 🤘also i had dominick by split decision 48/47

First I think
Nice edit on that backflip
I think so but I’ll look into it
Oblique means the angle of the kick, an oblique angle!
i wonder if wonderboys opponents watch these videos before they fight him,God Bless.
