Hello from Athens Alabama, I want to thank “Team Thompson” especially Gloria for allowing me to train with Mr. Ray Thompson and to meet and greet “Wonder Boy”. I will always remember the welcoming atmosphere and shear size of the Upstate Karate Studio, it was amazing to see. I never seen anything like it. I would like to make a trip to visit your fine establishment next year when I turn 67 years old, if I don't hurt myself. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving, and don't feed that huge dog too much Turkey! I'm taking about “Wonder Boy”, not the Rhodesian Mastiff puppy, haaaaaa! Douglas Lindsey p.s. I will actually work on that kicking speed drill.

​@@RoNLIocthe big X factor Wonderboy has on Shavkhat is experience, you really can't train to fight a unique veteran striker like Wonderboy. Smart money is on Shavkhat, he's a monster, but Wonderboy could surprise him, he might be able to disrupt his timing and win a technical battle. I like both fighters but I definitely want Wonderboy to win.

Ever think about how being a disrespectful internet coward just to run fangirl defense for your religions favorite fighters reflects on that religion? No, of course not, obviously you want your behavior to be seen as normal for your people with how much you're spamming it.

@@trinidaddy YOU ARE USING WRONG TACTICS TO DISCREDIT YOUR OPPONENT. I AM NOT BIASED RELIGIOSELY. I JUST SAID THAT WONDERGIRL'S STRICKING EXPERIENCE IS OUTWEIGHED BY RAKHMONOV'S MMA EXPERIENCE. WILL THEY FIGHT BY KICKBOXING RULES OR BY MMA RULES? WONDERGIRL IS A VERY NICE PERSON BY THE WAY.

What makes you great is your humility, Stephen! Youre one of the best fighters of all time but a better person.

Stephen I absolutely love your fighting style and I’ve watched every single fight you have had

Greatest striker in the UFC. PERIOD!!!

One thing that was not mentioned, I would recommend a realmgood warm up routine with a little stretching 1st. Especially when you start getting on the wrong side of 40. When you start doing exercises with explosive movements, that is when muscles like to pull and tear. These are fantastic drills.

Wonderboy being the best striker! Using those legs like arms! 🥋👊

I thank you very much for these videos. My two boys (9 and 10 years old ) placed first and second in their tournament yesterday. We drill techniques in your videos at home. It really shows in competition. They ended up having to fight each other for 1 and 2. My wife didn’t like watching that match. Thank you for taking the time on these drill and combo videos.

You and your dad have the gift of teaching Stephen. The hook kick was really difficult to accomplish and work into muscle memory...but I finally got it! Excellent vids!

Excellent video as always sirs! Thank you very much. 👊

Amazing video coach, I very much enjoy what you teach on this channel ... Could you please also make a video on the moves for improving high kicks? Also, cannot wait to see your fight with Shavkat ... He is a tough kid ... Best wishes for you!

Good job. Greetings from Transylvania!

Thank you for your valuable knowledge

Nice drills; thank you Thompson Sensei

This is one of the most informative videos I've seen! Thankyou! Bet I'm going to be coming down the stairs backwards after this workout 🤣

First you makes me hungry and then i get some really good training advices, thanks

awesome content as always!

More Papa Ridgehand content! I remember when we did this drill on a Monday and I was sore all the way to Saturday sparring 😂🫡

Oooohh WB! You got the OG passin' out some knowledge bro! Keep doin' what you do brotha.

Absolute LEGENDS!

Good teacher to the fighters

Cannonball is undeniably catchy tho. And the innocent sounding vocals mixed with a shout one... just awesome

Dams!! Yuu the Best!! Im trying to Get Work in!!

Love it!

Thank you!

Love from another karate guy🔥

Love from midle east 💙💙

Thanks

Wonderboy got me doing Karate 4 times a week 🙏🏾

The only time I knocked someone out when sparring was with a quick flip kick. It had very little power but was right on the jawline. Speed beats power …until it doesn’t 😊. Thanks for the drills WB.

I hope WB goes into this fight with a mean streak and gets the finish baby. 🤨Let’s go, you tha man!! 🤩

I am 69 years old and love to watch Mr. WB. The first fight I really remember was Sonny Liston vs Floyd Patterson so I have watched a few. Among my very favorite of all is WB vs elite wrestler Jony Hendrix. The full contact use of karate striking against such a tough opponent was a martial beautiful thing!!! 😮

Def need more Mr. T in the videos! I want to see him kick something!

I want to see a martial arts buddy comedy starring Wonderboy and Scott Adkins, give the people what they want!

Bro I’d watch it once a day for a month 🔥🔥🔥

At the end of 2019 I committed to Freeletics because I saw Wonderboy on their display. Eventually I came to learn body control through fitness exercises and this way I also realised the bads (and goods) in the training program of my Senseis. Since I'm a traditional Karate practitioner, I noticed that there are a few things (which tend to become too many) that are explained totally wrong or from the wrong perspective and which eventually tend to produce this stream of practitioners that have either a perfect form but not really usable as is in fighting, or good fighters which are not that good at forms because they over adapted to fighting. So basically what WB and Mr. T show us is a set of functional fitness exercises adapted to fighting. This is awesome, and I believe every teacher/Sensei should follow a similar approach.

How do you over-adapt to fighting, isn't that the point of MA?

train your hand as strong as your leg, and train your leg as fast as your hand - Bruce Lee

The second drill is where i guess it'll get hard for me. As a tkd guy i'm used to throwing my arms and shoulders away on every round kick.

Wait wait!! Hands as boxing cover/distraction

I'm vertically challenged and have horrible flexibility, but I do have powerful low kicks. I work within my limits, while seeking to expand them.

Maay, Moashi and Yoko, Thanks WonderMan

NICE CAT, WONDERBOY!

Guess we're trying this in tomorrow's practice :)

A big ol' thank you from the bottom of my heart to WB and Pops for putting this kick strengthener out there. I'm a white belt, about 1 1/2 months into training shotokan, and I am training every spare second I get. The kata we learn as a white belt is Taikyoku Shodan - while I appreciate how important the fundamentals that Taikyoku lays out are - it doesn't train any kicks unless I add kicks in. Front kicks, specifically. And man, at a month and a half, my mae geri just seems ABYSMAL. I have a hard time shifting/rotating my hips from Zen stance to square up and following that shift with my knee. As a bit of a heavier fella, I already know I have zero issues putting force behind my front kick. So I'm doing everything I can to dial back my tendency to really send that leg out there in order to focus on the precision, technique, and timing of it all. Having these few works outs to train the individual motions is going to be a great addition to my Kihon. Much thanks! One day my legs will feel like they're made out of more than paperclips and rubber bands lol

WB, what is your cool cat's name that appears in the ads? UFC296...Stephen Wonderboy Thompson victorious via headkick k.o. 2nd round. Yep yep! USA USA USA USA.

Where can I get theses rad Upstate karate or Wonderboy t-shirts ?

WB is so likeable as a person. Don't change yourselve bro always be the same even if the UFC tells u to be mean.

Oh yuh WB we knocking out Shavkat with one of these fast kicks or what?!

What ufc fighter gives this info? Bc Cory

I see one big issue related to the speed drills for the "leg lifts". For someone advanced like wonderboy there is a speed limit, above which this exercise won't help him make anymore gains. If Stephen executes the movement as fast, that his momentum causes him to fall, he will fall. Now the body as an organism with a nervous system that will protect itself from falling, no matter what wonderboy wants to achieve in training. So the body itself will be limiting the speed to rpevent Stephen from alling. I know two approaches for this, that migh also help to test, if my assumed problem applies to wonderboy: 1. Put weights on your standing leg, just find a way. 2. (The harder one) Keep you standing leg bend during the whole "leg lift". That way you can redirect the momentum into the floor. Wonderboy is stretching the leg he stands upon during the "leg lift" a little. I'm curious about your results.

It's all in the chamber!

I want to see you spar legends and travel all famous gyms in the world.

You should do a DBZ technique video

December 16th will be your biggest win of all time. Instant title shot.

Hi wonderboi can i please ask you something ita extremaly important for me🙏🏻

don't forget too tweet Jack Black too sing you in. its needed from a fan

Stephen, my hips are super tight and I've never been able to kick higher than waist-high. Last time I tried, my other leg came out from underneath me and I landed on the mat face first, in front of everyone. Are there stretches or exercises I can do so I can kick higher?

Literally just put your leg up on something high up sideways to the point where you can feel it stretching significantly. That's not the only thing, but it's really easy and it actually works, overt time. Just make sure to be careful when you do it

Lol I feel like Wonderboy would look good with a beard. Where the facial hair at lolll

so this is why WB has a massive dumpy

Wonderboy please smoke your opponent in December

if you do as many as they say, you'll be doing 115 reps per move for one leg. that's a full training session and a half.
