  • *SPOILER ALERT* In this weeks episode of Technique Tuesday I go over a technique that was used by UFC 241's Main Event, Stipe Miocic! The UFC Heavyweight Champ used the lead hand hook to the body to open up Daniel Cormier's guard which allowed his right hand to get through. Another variant of the hook was used as a counter by up and comer Sodiq Yusuff to drop his opponent leading to a ground n pound stoppage. UFC 241 was an amazing card. Be sure and check it out if you haven't already! Thanks for watching! #UFC241 #CormiervsStipe2 #MMA

    This is amazing, I haven't seen too many karate schools share hooks. I know a kempo practitioner and they have this hand book filled with philosophy that keeps them humble to every style even though they retain their original stance. I already feel that this will be the best martial arts resource on the internet after a few years of developing its library. Your open mindedness and entertaining ability to teach confirm this feeling. I'm grateful to be a student

      I trained Kenpo hard for almost two years at one point. I have to say that their focus on functional hand strikes was impressive. I've mentioned before on how much I respect Thompson in the ring, but I love how he is willing to share what he has learned with the world as a martial artist.

    video is good I almost skipped over bc i know I have good lead left hook since I practice orthadox but what u did help was with my moving forward lead hook I would use it more on the inside and not to much power from not having it in close (I'm a shorter guy so I don't have that reach for a hook so I always drilled it on the inside not really using it to move forward or covering distance) and my elbows weren't straight which now as soon as I get home I'm practicing this on my bag!
