If Wonderboy was a dog he would be a Golden Retreiver.
He is like the De la Hoya of MMA, does not look like a fighter but def is
He wouldnt be Wonderboy...he'd be Goodboy
Marshall Rogan???
He literally LOOKS like a golden retriever 😆
@julio1c1saga 🤣😂u totally destroyed this dude 😁
Good job
This guy is a good representation of how a fighter should act. Wonderboy
Wonderboy is the man!
@@adriandunlay7262 he would break your face
Adrian D u won’t say it in his face
@@adriandunlay7262 salty
@@adriandunlay7262 he is nerdy. but SSI's comment wasn't about Wonderboy's name. Thompson carries himself like a consummate professional and is a great ambassador for martial arts.
I began my martial arts journey with karate when I was young and then switched to kick boxing and muay Thai. I lost my leg dexterity even though I developed more power. Wonderboy's videos motivate me to work to get that style back
Wonderboy and conor are the only two guys in top league mma who found success with the karate stance
@@ishansaha24 Machida? Cejudo started to adopt that stance as well.
Valentin Rain find your mix of the two and perfect it
Me too.
@@ishansaha24 Machida, Shane Mosley off top of my head.
Wonderboy’s genuine nature is what makes him one of the best in the world. His hard work and honesty with himself is what really stands out to me
J. D. Hernandez exactly even in interviews after fights whether he wins or loses he’s completely honest whereas other fighters always have to tune what they say to make them look good
Damn, it's such a pleasure to watch wonderboy kick. It's like he's playing an instrument.
Bro you're so positive that every time i feel depressed i watch your videos and i swear it fixes my mood and makes me happy again , much love and appreciation Stephen you're the best 🥊🥋
I feel like you just need better friends..
@@nateborden3260 Thank god you told him. Now he can have many good friends and be happy. Depression cured.
The precision I've learned from karate is unmatched by the strength I got from kickboxing. It's so important to be precise and have the right technique. The snapping of the knee is something I feel every striker needs to learn.
I transitioned from taekwondo to kickboxing and I feel the exact same way!
Such a master. Saw a comment saying it's like he's playing an instrument. Couldn't agree more
I respect you more than anyone...I remember seeing you work with my brother for his blackbelt over 20 years ago in SC....good for you! Maste at your craft! Thank you for all your help amazing info!
Also, love the isolated movement drills. SNAP 😂👏
Damn coronavirus makes a couch potato like me love Wonderboy even more .The best coach on RUclips for mma
THE LEG MOSSCLE
This guy is not wonderboy anymore. He's WONDERMAN now.
7:35 I'm not really hitting it hard thWAAAAPPPPPPP
Moon自殺 being a bodybuilder can mean you have mad muscle imbalance from the perspective of a fighter
@Moon自殺 yea bodybuilding doesnt mean anything in the scope of fighting
I am 65. I took kick boxing for a while back in the mid 90's. Stephen makes me want to take it again.
Great video bro
Thanks, I put a lot of work into it!
So cool to see a comment from Mestre Gimenez on a WB video. Really unexpected
this is like the opposite of bass rutten style, and works just fine for skinny ppl like me who have mor DEX points than STRG points. thank you man, thx to people like you and horiguchi i was encouraged to fight amateur kickboxing
DEX builds represent
Bas is also a Karate guy, but his school (Kyokushin Karate) is more about brute force.
I also was impressed by Kyoji Horiguchi. His speed was beast. Imagine throwing a mawashi geri while circling around. And the guy always keeps himself busy moving in all direction. If Machida is the representative of the traditional "Go no Sen" approach (waiting for the opponent's attack to counter) and Wonderboy is the representative of a more Westernize "Go no Sen" approach, Horiguchi is definitely that "Sen no Sen" guy (attacking before the opponent begins)
@@shazamsakazaki kyokushin guys throw their lead leg up without telegraphing as well. Bas is just a tank of a man, I think that's why his style was like that
@@MrRazmut It's not like I'm saying Kyokushin guys telegraph when throwing lead leg kicks. On the contrary they can throw a kick even in close distance where people expect exchange of punches and don't think a kick is possible, and that's great about them. I just comment about why Bas style is different than Thompson.
@@shazamsakazaki Rumble has a nasty lead kick too and he was able to throw it in a tight space against DC
I've just started watching this channel. I was already a fan of the way it seems you carry yourself in and outside of the ring. You've done such a great job with these videos. Thanks Stephen for the motivation to get up and train when I needed it. Cheers
Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan Practitioner since i was 14. 28 now and love the Bushido life. Wonderboy is my fav guy to watch in MMA. Much love and respect to him. Hope to have a Convo with the man one day!
6:21 A quick lead-leg high kick with no step or telegraph is one of the most beautiful techniques
I’ve always wondered how to stretch the hips to get my legs in the air like you. Thank you Thompson. Found my new favorite stretch
Stephen is the best. His videos are so helpful.
There is a ton of good advice in this video. Thanks Wonderboy for being open and sharing your training!
Been involved in the martial arts for 42 years...gave private lessons when I was...well, a long time ago...and I still learn something from every one of your videos...rock on Wonder Boy!!! This is a little like superfood bill Wallace stuff...love it Bro!!! subbed!!!
Thank you so much Wonderboy for those tips. I've doing Martial arts for 27 years. Everything you give for information is so vital for me. Thank you for being there too Sweet T! Papa Wonderman also! I love you guys! Keep on kicking!
Thank you WonderBoy!
At an amazing #5 in the welterweight devision Wonderboy is a refreshingly humble and down to earth bloke. Probably one of the nicest killers around.
love your tips
Bro your stepping/shuffling guide video and conditioning guide improved my sparring level by 3 folds :) Definitely adding this one to my routine. Wish you all the best!
Thanks for these videos, man.
this channel is a blessing amongst karatekas.
I've been looking into ways to improve my kicks for quite some time! With all the free time I have now I will finally be able to improve! Thank you!
Love it, Thank God for my man Stephen!!!
Thank you for the knowledge
Stephen you’re the man bro
Thank you Sensei Thompson!!!
Dude, you are literally the best. Always looking forward to the next video!
Love it. The lead leg is my favourite weapon these days. Originally just for the side kick, but I've been working on a good roundhouse and a sliding axe kick off the lead leg.
This channel is a Gem
I appreciate this alot. Been wanting to improve at my taekwondo but always found my hip strength was one of my disadvantages. It meant i couldnt throw turning kicks or hook kicks very well. This will help me increase that strength to improve. Wonderboy the goat.
His technique is so solid, great lookin athletic build too. So much insight and information to digest
Love this!
"Wonder boy" always be bringing that fresh perspective.
Thank you!
Love your training insights! Thank you Stephen.
glad somebody explained this 🙏
These videos are awesome. Thanks for putting in the work day after day !
Excellent video, thank you.
This is who I trust to get MMA technique from, a proven A1 Fighter.
This guy is so natural and nothing is fabricated about him. Wonderful is a justified title for such a wonderful person
This man is so likeable, so lucky are his students
Wonderboy chill as hell. Thanks for your instructions, man
Great stuff. These are some of the exact same things my master drilled into me and that I've been drilling into my students for the last 20+ years. I have a lot of great drills for hip control, endurance and strengthening. Nice breakdown and emphasis on correct form first. This proper form isn't just important for the speed and power of the kick but also the health of the hip and knee.
The sheer lack of kicking form that exists overarchingly in MMA drives me crazy. It is something that has really set you apart from the crowd and something that has gotten me interested again in watching the sport.
This is excellent knowledge with in depth breakdowns.
Great demonstration. At one point I was wandering whether karate is useful at all in a fight, but you and Machida had removed all the doubt and karate techniques are so much more aesthetic than other striking martial arts. Nice example of this are these lead leg kicks. Thanks for the content you are making. Much appreciated.
Bro the best MMA channel in the game!! Keep up the good the work Mr NMF
So Good!!!
Thank you Sensei
thank you for the tips sir.
I’m 45 and still practice my taekwondo and kickboxing at the gym with the 20yr olds. Stretching is everything in kicks, then muscle it out. Awesome video. Toughest I’ve done at a visit to an American Muy Thai academy was a half hour of squat kicks against the heavy bag. Front squat side squat round squat switch leg repeat and one. Then they finally allowed me to spar with them. My legs were rubber bands for two days. Now it is a regular work out. Awesome content.
Absolute gold
Man, I subscribed to this channel earlier today, and I simply can't stop watching! A TON of useful information and entertaining. Thank you very much, Wonderboy!
Once again Wonderboy comes through with the goods! With his help after forced isoloation my kicks will be on point. My aim is to better when I return to the gym once it opens.
You are really an amazing fighter but also a fantastic teacher!
Thanks for sharing
Sharing the gosh darn gold with us. Thank YOU 🙏

I never knew Wonder Boy was so chill. You can tell he's not being phony either.

This is great for helping me improve my kicking speed.
Great tips! Thank you gonna try these next time I practice
Thanks Sensei! Would love to see one for the back leg and how to build strength for power kicks. A humble student from across the world bows!
Such a good coach
I naturally switch between a Muay Thai and Karate stance too!! I always wondered why I started doing that without thinking about it whether it was that I got it from watching you or what but thats so cool that Anderson does that too.
Amazing mate! Cheers
