I fight just like you and it works really well with less experienced fighters but I keep having problems with pro fighters rushing in and forcing an in-fight, clinch situation.

      If he fights Kamaru usman, he has to utilise his weakness, kamaru is a forward fighter that pressures forward with that very good jab and puts u to the wall and then clinches to tire you out then takes u down and control u on the ground and break u down and wear down ur durability but lacks in lateral movement which is what wonderboy big part of the game plan and I think if wonderboy uses the side kick to the leg or a counter spinning back kick after usman jab, that will be really good for wonderboy and very damaging for usman and working that karate style stance, if he goes deep in to the inside of usmans jab and overhand would be good as well. That is the same with soo many power punchers in the heavier weight divisions and wrestlers. Woodley on the other hand is a weird type of wrestler, he is a very feint power slam wrestler who uses lateral movement for that single leg or a grip to then go up for a clinch and then put ur head down for a guilotine or take u down and smash and control the top and positioning, but in wrestling he only puts soo much control that he really puts the focus and pressure on one side of the body and crusifixes u and it is easy to get out, but when u get out, twood has a great grip and if u hip escape and try to stand up, u will get punished really badly but if u don’t stand up, he won’t take u back to the ground so he’ll let u stand up only for massive punishment and u cant stand up u will lose by tko finish

I drilled it over and over by myself and used it in sparring the next day with good success. Thank you for sharing your martial arts knowledge sir, Osu!

      @By His Holy Cross no it's not. A wheel kick is a straight leg spinning kick. A spinning back hook kick is a back kick that hooks at the end. Very similar in appearance, and some styles may cross the names, but the kicks are performed much differently.

      @theunqualifiedamerican 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@grandmasteryorick2255 yeah that's my point about the difference. I know the impact is the same, and actually a wheel kick will have increased power because of the whip. A spinning back hook kick is more linear until the hook at the end. Which makes it harder to see at the expense of power.

    • @djbray7
      @djbray7 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The back hook kick is performed very differently than the wheel kick. The back hook kick is faster and has more of a whip effect. You spin around, lean away from your target, and you "hook" your leg through the target. Your body only turns about 75% of the way through the kick. With the wheel kick, your body is far more upright and you keep your leg almost totally straight and try to use your leg like a club. You also turn your entire body with the kick. The wheel kick is a little more powerful, but both will knock out your opponent if you land it on the chin. People confuse them because they look quite similar and people often use a hybrid in combat sports.

    • @theunqualifiedamerican
      @theunqualifiedamerican 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@djbray7 agreed. The only thing I'll say is that for our hook kick, or any kick for that matter we always remain upright with our head. If you let your head go away from your opponent, so to does your reach and power. Many people do it to make up for flexibility and increase kicking height, but your head leads the body so if it's leading into the strike your power goes the same way.

    He does lift the knee up! I thought it seemed that he kept his knee quite low. I was wrong. It's just in the beginning of the kick. He throws that leg like a whip, and when the impact comes, it's like a snab. Like a snab jab! But the knee is high. You know, it's not like his leg bends from the knee so that the knee points almost down. I've seen that style and I think they have not been taught properly. But, it's very sneaky how Wonderboy throws that kick. It's surprising and many don't have a solution against it. Unorthodox. I think that's how Wonderboy has been so successful.

    I like to think of side kick as jab because it is direct and stops your opponent from moving forward like a jab. Round kick is hook punch. But, you have incredible control on your front round kick. As usual I have a couple of ideas for you. Try ball of foot to the head. Most MMA fighters don't block round kicks away from the head. Instead they cover allowing a ball of the foot kick to wrap around and penetrate. Also, it is better whenever possible to follow through on the kick. If your kick misses and they advance you can side or hook kick from wherever your foot lands. And, try throwing your front leg round kick after the jab, cross. Don't retract the punch before you kick. As soon as the cross locks out throw the round kick. Another variation that is super effective and deceptive is to throw the reverse punch or cross to the body followed by the rear leg round kick. Again, don't retract the cross before kicking. Finally, use the kick of death as portrayed in the old movie Five Fingers of Death. It is a simple combo really. All you do is round kick the head followed by a side kick with the same leg to the body without putting your foot down. So, if your round kick misses or is blocked they won't expect the side kick. Practice all these on the heavy bag. But, just clip the front part of the bag with the round kick so you can follow through it. I love your training partner. He is funny. Keep working hard Wonderboy. Your next fight is always the most important one of your life. I hope they give you a title fight soon. You are ready to be the champ!

    Anyone seems to remember how brutal and beautiful was full Contact karate.
    The wonderboy has showed us again what is full Contact karate like Benny urquidez and Don Wilson did before.

    Sharing the tactics and techniques of one of the most unique fighters in the game is much appreciated. I always heard great things about you and your team from Stryker, but did not know you were this hilarious.
