Why hasn't someone hired Wonderboy to work for TV ? He has a good personality, a lot of charisma and he's very articulated to speak in front of a camera, everything needed to host some kind of TV show or even being part of UFC's broadcast team, especially since he's a long time striking specialist and he must have a lot of fighting knowledge

This was actually a really good tutorial. I've been trying ti learn this kick for a while but no other tutorial has explained it as clearly as this and now i can actually do it. Thanks

Had DOUBLE HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY in May 2020 at 32 years old. Just started kickboxing in January to get back in shape. THANK YOU for making these videos! Getting my life back!

This guy is so chill and informative. It's awesome he's willing to share insight with the fans. Thank you Wonderboy!

My favorite fighter!! This is probably the best question mark kick video I’ve seen. Please keep them coming, Wonderboy!!!

Loved the systematic coaching and the brotherhood. You've got a new fan. Thank you for the content! 🙏🏼

Great to see you representing this style of combat. Training in ITF and WTF Taekwondo since I was 4 and also some Kenpo Karate, my Dad is my coach too.

Absolutely made for this platform! Humble af, dad humour, high tier martial arts tips, engaging and just a fucking beast in the octagon!!! Keep it up my guy, much love from Australia

Beautiful kick. Best explaination and breakdown i have seen so far. This looks cleaner that what i have been doing. Will tweak my technique accordingly. I'm grateful you are doing KZread.

Been waiting for this one. The way you sneak it up and around the shoulder is a thing of beauty

Keep em coming Big Guy! Love your energy and personality in these videos and general. You are the same guy. Don't ever change that. Wins or losses - or even draws? jk We will always support you. Can't wait to see you back out there!

I've done this for years, but your follow-through is really great. I'll start practicing with a full follow-through. Thanks!

I’m absolutely in love with all things tricky in the fight game. This kick is a staple!

One of my favorite fighters! So glad you’ve got a channel !!

Hey Wonderboy, I just saw a picture of your ol' man during his fighting days. You are a spitting image him.

One of my favorites. Great attitude and exciting fighter. 🦵

This kick was the key for my first ko! Now you’re teaching it perfectly and I’m already writing down the ya tips Thanks wonderboy

Thank you have never been able to learn this kick, your break down of the mechanics is awesome. I have know learnt how to deliver this kick off of both legs.

I really love Stephen's energy. Happiest man alive!

Cool to see it broken down like this I can remember how blown away I was seeing Adamir Da Costa doing this kick on grainy video tapes at Kyokushinkai tournaments from the 80's .

U are the single most honest and humble ufc fighter. We already know you have got the skill and discipline the question isn’t if it when ur getting the belt. P.S Most entertaining fighter to watch.

Probably my favorite karate technique! Incredibly satisfying to land.

Dude! Evan was at my old RCJ BJJ school in Dallas! Good to see Y'all both out there doing it big! Great video.

Wonderboy one of my all-time fav fighters in any sport!!

This is awesome!!! Wonderboy you rock!!

You guys have young minds. That's a good sign!

i wish i was a kid or teeneger and had Wonderboy as a teacher.. Love his arsenal of kicks and how cool he is.. Max and him seem to be real cool dudes

Awesome work out brother ...great!

Great energy, great content!

Your real life action hero! Much respect

Amazing, I was just practicing this recently and wondering as to how I could utilize it in my taekwondo matches. Thanks, Thompson!

Tuesday is now my favorite day of the week!!!

Thank you brother i will be getting the practice everyday

I'm. Not flexible enough my kick is more of a semi colon lol

I've thrown my rear-leg roundhouse kicks like that for about 20 years. I always found I got more "pop" out of it with the sudden torquing of the hips at the end. Plus, it brings the knee up in front to keep people from rushing you when you pick the leg up. Also, you are right about not throwing "full power". Best to focus on speed. Force=mass x acceleration.

This man is a legend

Thanks for the tips

That kick looks really cool and fun to do!! Lol Evan at the end tho 😂

🔥🔥🔥 Thank you wonderboy 🙏👊👊
