I'll never forget the interviewer asking Stephen if his students knew how lucky they were to have a UFC fighter as their coach and WonderBoy corrected him and said "No, I'm the lucky one."

[@bultronlagore2095]

Just a thought This coming from a “Nobody” in a KZbin Comment Section that will never accomplish anything even close to what Wonderboy has. Just continue to sit behind your keyboard thinking your important and leaving ignorant comments while Stephen Thompson is out there actually making a difference in people’s lives.

"keep your dukes up" -A man who fights with his hands down

[@OrdinaryAverageMan]

Yeah...he's telling his opponent to keep em up

[@YA-vd9zo]

MrGreenwizard AHAHAHAHHAA ur fkn dumb he id a mma fighter every mma fighter has to put their hands low so they have enought time to defend take downs if his hands are up than he wont have time to defend the take down plus this shirt is his merchandise for his gym and in karate their hands are up dont fkn talk if u dont know shit smh

[@checklefthook8206]

@@YA-vd9zo plus his style and high skill level allow him the comfortability to get away with it..his head movement, footwork are really good...plus his kicks are fast enough to use a hook kick as a jab...he usually keeps them at a kicking distance and makes them chase him,once they get frustrated they over reach and end up like Robert Whitaker...but it is a style thing,alot of karate based fighters have hands low(once they are high level enough) your partially right about td defense but it's also for balance on the in and out tempo of footwork..karate and taekwondo require more distance for techniques.thai styles however are more plotting,flat footed,hands high...for instance look at aldo or Shogun...plus try generating a side kick or hook kick with hands up,good luck😂

[@chadhumphries1445]

@@YA-vd9zowow "Every mma fighter has to put his hands low to defend takedowns"? Very few fighters keep their hands low. The ones that do don't do it because of takedowns. You shouldn't comment if you don't know shit. Smh . You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

[@MrRazmut]

@@chadhumphries1445 Fighters do sometimes keep their hands lower than normal to avoid takedowns but that is usually accompanied by a wide, low stance. If you feel you got the guys number and see his strikes from a mile away but you´re struggling to stuff his takedowns it makes sense to lower your guard especially if you feel your arms or shoulders getting tired and pumped from the grappling.

[@WuXingDaoKungFu]

1 Strengthen your lower body by jumping, cycling, or squatting. 2 Punch through water or sandbags to increase your strength. 3 Enhance your rotational movements by doing core exercises like sit ups and push ups.

[@DuboisDel]

I only came across Wonderboy's channel today - by accident - but I've already watched three of his videos. Me and my daughter love his cage name...definitely the best and he's such an unassuming chap that you wouldn't think he could stop you instantly in your tracks, but if he DID hit you then you get the feeling he'd be polite about it.

[@AllanEscabusa]

I love your style champ! Thanks for sharing your techniques...

[@jeffarcher400]

Thanks Steve. Always refreshed by your attitude. My favorite tool for focus and speed is the old small bag of rice hanging on a string trick. Once it starts swinging it really forces anticipation and quickness. I use a old sock so small about fist size. Used to add BBs to toughen up the knuckles. I'd close my eyes then open them very much like the hat trick. This was years before the Star Wars trainer. Feel the force.

[@brettdupreez8872]

Wonderboy you da man!

[@MartinT5600]

This man is an amazing example of what a man should be. Everytime I listen to him, I think about how proud his dad must be of him.

Thank you for clarifying on the weighted punching. When I was in high school I used 10 and 15 lb dumbbells, which was super effective for my muscles and speed, but definitely messed up my wrist haha. Luckily I stopped before I damaged the ligaments too badly lol

Man I love you fighting style. I trained in taekwondo growing up and recently started Muay Thai little over a year ago. My coach “shout out to shaun” he trained with muhsin corbbrey and he’s working with me of keeping that great balance of taekwondo but the brutal force of Muay Thai. It’s a difficult process but I watch your tape and try to get the best from you and incorporate it into my style too. Anyhow, I’m in fight camp as well so I hope you win you’re and I hope I win mine!!
