How To: The Lead Hand Hook | Stephen Wonderboy Thompson
*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.

Can't wait to try this on my wife when I get home and dinner isn't ready. So we put on the focus pads and do some striking practice while it's still cooking.

It’s not something you can teach on a KZread video it’s pretty complicated
Your boy Stipe just got the HW strap back by using the lead hook to the body, genius fight IQ by the champion.

Damn.....I love this channel!
nice vid wonderboy!
My dude wonderboy, such a great fighter
6:55 That technique on that ground and pound. WB was so quick with it that Sweet T didn't even have the time to hit the ground. LEGENDARY STUFF
Thank you so much for this
One of the best
Gotta hit that KZread algorithm with a hook mate this is the first time I've seen your videos pop up, much love from Australia. Subscribed !
Those body shots worked well thanks
That was a great tip about the difference in power when your elbow is not directly behind the fist! Something I will remember when practicing and sparring!
awesome video!
Good informative video
Legendary advice..
Man! Loved it! I wish Wonderboy Thompson could make Technique Tuesday videos everyday😝... All our goals would be boosted to rocket solid performance
This is another great video, Wonderboy! Are you ever worried you’re going to give your opponents too much information about your style when you teach us what works for you? This is one of the most useful informative KZread channels for fighters out there! Thank you!
Absolute Legend
Gotta love the part where DC started dancing after that ground and pound 😂😂
Bro your the best.
This is great, my favourite fighter besides chael of course 😂. Defently my favourite fighting style and it's on KZread for me to learn, hell yeah thank you so much
very cool learning from the Wonderboy himself
this was a good one
That flurry at the end was textbook 📚
Well done thank you
Sick Ground n Pound !
i train here at his school Upstate Karate i have the upmost respect for you Mr Thompson your school has taught me a lot
Stephen I'm a huge fan I also do karate and kickboxing one of the reasons I looked into mma was because of you. Ps I think you won against Darren Till 👍👊
thank you coach for the insructions. the enemie of the lead hook is telegraphing.
Good lesson
loved the vid with shane btw hes the man 😁
This is one of the hardest things for me to get consistently. For some reason my left feels awkward throwing anything besides a jab. If i switch to southpaw the right lead hook is much easier and faster for me
Any idea when your next fight is? I literally can't wait man. Favorite fighter of all time. Love your high energy style.
