- Today we are going over the Tornado Kick and how to throw it and set it up in MMA. It is an interesting technique that is fun and flashy but you don't see a whole lot of them in MMA. I don't believe a lot of fighters today prepare for it which is why it can be successful. It is not a technique to rely heavily on in your arsenal, but it can be useful to catch someone off guard. I want to see your best Tornado Kicks!! Post them on social media and tag me @wonderboymma !!!

wonderboy is type of guy who teach Tornado how to throw tornado kick
😂😂
It's got the spinning nailed, the kick needs work
And it works! This is a video of me learning it! ruclips.net/video/3ggVASCP36U/видео.html&feature=em-comments
@@WonderboyMMA I'm out in El Paso TX what's up with a fight for real take me up on a camp I'll ko someone with the tornado kick
@@WonderboyMMA how to tag you sir .im your big fan
Come on man. Get that title shot. It is yours. You Know that.
There are too many clout chasers like masvidal which he exposed
@@unitedstatesofthekingdom6825 masvidal isn't a clout chaser. That's an exaggeration from Kamaru to get people to hate Jorge just because he does. Jorge and Usman dislike each other, and Jorge isn't ready to take the fight on short notice. He let's us know he really wants it though, trying to get in Usman's head. That doesn't make Jorge a faker or clout chaser.
@@tash5540 Who cares what Kamaru sais. Kamarus opinions does not even come from him, he seems to be as boring of a stock wrestler as they come. I'd bet a lot that everything Kamaru has said about other fighters in front of the cameras was fed to him by other people. That is why he is so inconsistant. Jorge is a clout chaser, not because Kamaru sais so but because he tries to get a championship fight, or a fight with Mcgregor (which is telling) by talking shit instead of beating the best people in the ufc. He is on 3 fight win streak against 3 fighters with almost as bad a record against top competition as he has, why do you think he is in talks for a titleshot if not for his clout chasing?
Masvidal is legit. Wonderboy was a nightmare matchup for him. Thompson deff best striker in division. I’d like to see a 3rd fight with Woodley, get that W
needs at least 1 more W , vs either Leon Edwards, Santiago P. , Lawler, Cowboy, or maybe a trilogy fight with Woodley, Thompson vs Covington would also be interesting but most likely it'll be Woodley vs Covington next
@0:12
"What are you doing on my lawn?!"
"Practicing tornado kicks, sir. Wonderboy said I could do it in who's ever yard.
"All right, but only because it's technique Tuesday. Carry on."
Love this guy and everything he stands for. Nicest guy in mma a joy to watch
yeah like im surprised that he only has around 500k subs atm
I'll tell you what i wanna see, watching you win that UFC title Wonderboy!
Ohhhhhh Burnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why? The ufc is a gimmick.
I wish I had friends like Wonderboy growing up. Feel like i would be a completely different person. Thank you for the awesome tutorial!! This is one of my favorite kicks since not many people think a 240+ lb guy would ever pull it off!
And you'd probably wouldn't. Keep practicing though buddeh
I can relate to that. Right now at 36 yrs old I'm about 275 lbs and most ppl wouldn't expect I could do this kick either but I've been practicing it since I was about 12 yrs old and have done it well ever since. Obviously, I'm not thin/skinny/average/athletic or muscular in body size but as a large man, I'm extremely athletic. I'm also a sprinter and I run unusually fast. Most ppl assume that I'm in the 235-255 bracket because I'm bigger than I look. I just happen to hide it well but I'm chubby & overweight and have been ever since I was 19 but that never stopped me from doing backflips, tornado kicks & kip-up/back springs from a laying position. From age 15-32 I've been able to execute a complete back-spring and land on my feet without a problem up until I injured my back AND sprained my ankle just a couple years ago. I was never really all that smart & successful academically in school but I was athletic as hell in gym class/P.E. & sports because I could run super fast, jump high (good vertical leap) and I knew some awesome martial arts kicks. All of this still being chubby & overweight 215 lbs+ as far back as I can remember. I later found out my skinny better looking & smarter older brother was jealous of my athletic ability, LOL. Go figure.
@@joshedward2330 wasted talent, gifted with potential but wasted it
@@KillerDoh As much as I would LOVE to use this opportunity to be defensive, offended & argumentative?? I'm gonna choose to swallow my pride & actually AGREE with you. You're absolutely right. I truly should have used it to my advantage but I wasted it, unfortunately.
😂all it takes is practice
Hurt my knee grappling so im stuck lifting weights for a couple of weeks, def cool tho, gonna try this when my knee gets better
"One of the most powerful kicks in karate"
-Johnny Lawrence, Eagle Fang Karate
Yeah boi cobra kai never dies
Thank you for this video, Mr. Thompson. Because of this tutorial, this kick not only has become one of my favorites to practice, but I was able to successfully (and safely/carefully) pull this off in sparring the other week. Keep up the awesome work!
Wonderboy would be a good actor for a Martial arts movie, kickboxer style! a conversation between Jean Claude van Damme and Wonderboy talking about kicks would be epic 🌟
Blood sport remake lol
I love this kick. That's why I did a tutorial on it about a year ago. Taekwondo usually sets it up with a round kick instead of taking a step. And if you open your hips up it allows the kick to land with the instep of your foot and it makes it more consistent.
This dude has such a positive vibe, it is inspiring!
Hey Stephen, I’m not sure if you know me but my dad is Mike Storm. A few years ago he was refereeing muay tai fights and you and your dad sent me a video saying hi. GO GET THAT TITLE SHOT!!!!
it's confusing how this guy can be so nice yet able to break your face if needed. Thank you for making the process fun.
Cover, in-depth, the spinning hook kick. How to learn, practice, improve it and differentiate between wheel and hook kick. Also, setup of course. I’m thoroughly enjoying your techniques! Keep it up brother! I’m a big fan, much love homie.
This one is taking quite a bit of practice to nail. You always make things seem so effortless, you are truly one of the best out there.
The tornado kick is my favorite kick! I love how it looks!
Imagine not knowing who wonderboy is and your walking through the woods and you come across some dude with no shoes or shirt talking to himself throwing kicks
Edit " thanks for the 4 new subscribers guys !!
Edit 2 wow 3 more subscribers, thanks everyone!!
Dana White talking to some dude with a camera named “Sweet T”
I think its a backyard or smthng lol
@@samuelvanburg4147 looks like the backyard Carol Baskin killed her husband in
that's when you'd know you had met your sensei
I'd like to see you do that Dana
Let's start a challenge for charity
Love that you just made this, learnt this from my teacher a month ago and it's easily my favourite kick
Hey Stephen Big Fan, Im a 4th dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Just wanted to give you a tip to land the tornado kick faster, when lifting up your back leg out in front of you lower your knee so that it is straight and you'll find that your kick is a lot faster than normal. If you find that your technique works better for you then do that. :)
Bro, its impressive how much knowledge he has. He doens't have many muscles compare to the others of the same category, but his fighting IQ is just from another planet
love this man one of the first people i watched fight didnt get into UFC that long ago but i love him
I love you wonderboy, I literally watch your highlights when I’m working out I only do boxing but I gotta tell that you motivate me champ, WOONNNDERRBOOYYYY !!!! 💯💪🏽 i hope one day I get to meet you, the one and only WONDERBOY!!
This makes me miss my sensei Alex, he was the best karate sensei I've ever had. Weekends on the bag practicing our kicks and punches were amazing
I want to improve more because of watching this channel. I become excited.
Thank you Wonderboy. Finally someone is explaining this move, in a nice calm friendly way. I was wondering how to do the move, and you showed it perfectly. Thank you very much.
this brings back memories of my childhood. The last exam month of high school .I tore my knee ligament doing this in my Dominant leg..despite doing this move hundreds of times was off my feet for 6weeks
Wonderboy got some of those nastiest cool camouflaged kicks. Love his powerful sidekicks. Do more tuitoral
Wonder boy is best person you wanna hangout with in this lockdown time
You without a doubt, best instructional TKD/Karate style videos. When I get my international gold back I will bring a massive banner of your channel😂. Great vid WB
My favorite martial artist by far, in MMA or any arena. You are divinely blessed! I pray you get another title shot.......at least I can call you B.I.C.
sweet-t can win the belt if he fights.he looks like a beast,pretty certain he can fight like a beast too.once again wonderboy delivered it.good job, keep them coming...
1:50 the last thing Wonderboy’s opponents see before they get knocked out
Your tutorials are really clear and easy to follow keep up the nice work
That 540 Tornado kick was awesome. Even in UFC game still work like a charm. Excellent demonstration!
3:29 Damn, Stephen. That 540 was awesome.
I liked the emphasis on Ankle has the source of kicking and upper body evasion.
All fighters are not Martial Artist...but truly you are Fighter also a true Martial artist.
Greaaaat!! Thanks Stephen I still don’t have the flexibility but still working to make those kicks 🦵
Thanks for the video NMF! We appreciate it Wonderboy. 🤙🏻
That head level mom dora dolyo tchagi is... superb... flawless... n all the other MK adjectives
Much love Champ. Thank you for all the knowledge every Tuesday💯👊
Wonderboy is truly one of a kind. He is amazing as a person and as an athlete. Hope you can get the belt. Awesome video by the way.
I love the quick set ups. When I first learned this I would do left foot forward in orthodox, cross my right foot over like if i was gonna throw a hammer first and then twist my body counter clockwise almost spinning on my left heel with the right foot following it. Not sure if i was doing it wrong but it still feels good and lands in sparring lol
Wonderboy: starts spinning
Me: naa I'm out dawg
Dude you can do it! ruclips.net/video/3ggVASCP36U/видео.html
We're doing this spinning shit now?! 😂😂😂
Subscribed when you had 800 subscribers, glad to see you getting the following you deserve! Awesome content as always.
We all have our unfortunate moments, some have less than others. But you Mr.Thompson are Champion Caliber 🤟🦵💪 thanks for all the RUclips videos they are helping me teach myself
WONDER BOY I just wanna send love and greetings from London, England. Thank you for your videos, I wanna say youre a really cool, nice bloke - and we appreciate your content. I wish more people had the upbeat enthusiasm and good nature you have! Best regards, Chris
You're the best wonder boy it took me 2 months to finally get this kick down:)
I just love how everyone is so nice on the comment section in wonderboy's channel
Best subscription ever... love this channel... wonderboy u are a legend
Less goo baby Wonderboy over here starting some fit trends. Big fan homie 💪
Stephen, I only wish you the very best and please keep yourself & family safe during this Coronavirus, that is more important than anything. I always considered you the real life Karate kid sort of speak with traditional skills and I thank you for bringing the traditional arts into mma. Keep up the great work however keep safe during this deadly pademic please. God bless you & the family.
i have always said this, i will always say this. MMA is the most wholesome sport in the entire sporting industry
Been waiting for your guide on the tornado kick, finally!
Technique Tuesdayyyyyyy. Let's gooooo! I feel like Tuesday's wouldn't be the same without your content!!
This is probably the easiest "show-off" kick to learn. Looks cool and isnt too difficult to do
Been a fan for a long time, this is as cool as hell. Great to see them actually being used in the octagon because its rare to see the art now in all its glory. The kicks and tricks are supersmart, but most of all they are affective and powerful and absolutely surgical when they land. Its great showin us at home how to do these, but it would also be good to just showcase all the "spinning s##t" and flying kicks with the supercool landings telling us what they are, just for kicks. The video with Crossfire in the background and clips from past battles is awesome. All the best and stay safe from lancashire uk.
The video, showcasing the skills, with crossfire by stephen is on mma reels.
👍👍👍
WONNNDDEERRRRBOYYYYYY!!!!! Big fan 😭 I freaking love you man 💪🏽
This and front kicks are my personal favourite kicks
Im an upcoming kickboxer and this is really helpful thank you wonderboy
Thank you!
Been looking for a video that i can comprehend (since my mentality is different) but this one definitely takes the cake!
I can't believe the UFC doesn't capitalize more on Wonderboy! He's the whole package! He's one of the most talented fighters, he looks good, he's good in front of cameras, his style is one of the most entertaining... he could be such a cash cow if he was promoted the right way... I don't get it
How many nice guy cash cows have their ever been? Not saying he doesn't deserve it though
MC Grindah one of the biggest ever and by many considered the GOAT... GSP
Great info. I do a tornado kick with a Chinese broadsword tucked behind my right arm in one of my seven star praying mantis forms. It really makes you focus on using your legs for spin momentum
“1……2…………………. 3” ,
“As you can see there are a LOT of steps to this kick”
Thanks Wonderboy! Ur awesome man one of my favorite fighters today. I've always loved this kick Israel Adesanya landed it in the kickboxing ring a couple times it was beautiful
Why you gotta pump me up like that wonderboy. This freaking ninja coming every Tuesday with some bangers
Wonder boy went to the Virgin Islands an when he left they werent Virgin anymore lol big fan of yours brother hope I get to meet you some day I watch alot of your videos think your a good dude an hall of fame fighter I would love to train with you an learn from you I believe you'll hold UFC title in the future
I'm jealous of your backyard it looks so peaceful out there! Great tutorial Wonderboy I'm gonna work on my tornado kicks!!
Izzy talking about tornado kick and the Wonderboy does it straight away
Helping us through quarantine. Top man.
Can't wait to see you get a title short and become the new welterweight champ... Rooting for ya
You break it down nicely..I was in korea in 1965 studied mu Duk there..I could jump then.now at 75 I can hardly get off the ground but still train and keep my kicks grounded.if you have 4kicks that work well for self defense purposes its all you need provided you can generate enough power in your technique to inflict max damage.
Regardless I'm gonna practice ur technique to see if it works for me..lookin good young man...keep training for life
Thanks for giving me something to forward to every Tuesday. These videos being normality to these crazy times. :)
Man can’t wait to be done with my contract in the Army and go back home. Your gym is like 30 minutes away from my place. I would like to start training.
Thank you for shearing your your knowledge & experience with us! Os !
I wanna see you win that title man!!! The most deserving fighter out there, cool channel bro.
Thanks Stephen. I swear you’re like naruto mixed with goku
I'm going to tell my kids this was white Bruce Lee.
thats not how the meme works
hahaha!
I don't think you understand the meme just remove the word "white" and it makes more sense
You ruined it
Frankie Cal all respect to wonder boy but I thought that was Chuck Norris
I have very stiff legs and can't stretch to kick high. Make a video on stretching from beginners to advanced please
I was taught this in 7th or 8th grade PE. They taught us self defense for like a week but the way this was taught was to kick with your back leg from an orthodox stance, like your stepping tornado kick but just a kick instead of a step.
Great vid! I had just started really practicing that kick about three weeks ago when everything started getting crazy!
Get back to it! It's such a fun kick to learn. This is me figuring it out after watching this video ruclips.net/video/3ggVASCP36U/видео.html&feature=em-comments
Bro great video, you made it with a very simple breakdown, good job!
never thought about throwing the tornado low. good tip. thanks for the content. we can all use it.
Looking forward to your next fight wonderboy!!🥋🐐
Did this a lot during my taekwondo days. Nice video!
Looking forward to see you here soon in the Philippines ...
Stephen is the man.
Loved the video my man!. I would like to watch the full explanation of the 540 because I didn't quiet understand it hahaha. Thanks for the vid!
Great step by step bro!
I hope you and your family are staying safe
love how humble you are! have you ever got into a street fight? Thanks for the free lesson!
YES. I love this kick.
You are the best. Period.
I want to see more stuff like this and a few videos of your dad just punching holes in solid things with his concrete fist !
Felt the gush of wind from that kick all the way here in the UK.
That thumbnail should be a poster. Also the UFC needs to realize the gem that is Stephen Thompson. All they care about is marketing a-holes not realizing they could be on the wrong side of history!
Wonderboy you are my favorite fighter ever
Give us a technique Tuesday with some of your set-ups for your kicks! Particularly low and high kick setups. The content is great keep it coming W.B. and Sweet T!
You are the best youtuber so underrated
Oss! Another great video! Thanks wonderboy
