[@David-yh9bb]

Wonderboy's father is absolutely right about bone strike/palm strikes they are the best thing to throw if you have unconditioned knuckles or fighting barehanded. Its amazing that they are little used in mma today given how devastating they can be. Bas Rutten and some of the Pancrase fighters are sometimes mocked by casuals for using slaps in a fight. Which immediatly displays to me a basic knowledge of striking. Yes, that organization had different rules or if your hands are properly conditioned it probably wouldn't matter if you used a closed or open fist. Nonetheless, it is a very effective strike given the general overall strength in the bone. Thank you Wonderboy and Wonderpops for another fantastic video.

[@youindeedsuck323]

Bas Rutten literally made a career in Japan with that striking system Def underrated in modern mma

[@ShamGam3]

You lose a few inches of reach though

[@shazamsakazaki]

When they have that gloves on, the fists are more effective. Fists can deliver the same amount of power no matter which angle you throw it, the only thing it depends on is how much force you throw that punch. The palm is also easier to block since you open your whole hand to strike. Furthermore, in the context of combat sport, if you use palm strike to the face, there's possibility you may poke your opponent's eye, or he pretends his eye being poked by you, hence points taken away. Hence the reason why Bas mostly palm strike to the liver, where the angle is easy to adjust, out of his opponent site (make it harder to block), and no eye-poke. The only drawback of the fist is that it's easy to be broken(which is the reason why palm strike is far superior when we're talking about no glove fights), but the gloves have minimize that risk

[@flyinpolack6633]

I agree! Also, slaps were the only head strikes allowed in Pancrase. you could kick a dude, (they wore leg pads). but not punch him in the nose

[@playapapapa23]

2:16 is exactly correct. I almost exclusively hit the heavy bags without gloves or wraps. Over the years I’ve adjusted my power based on how much my knuckles can take and how well the rest of my body that is delivering the force, ie wrist, shoulders, lats etc, can handle it. This also makes you mindful of how you’re delivering power with each punch.

Excellent to see some spreding of this. I specialise in this sort of training for the last 19 years. Not many people do this but i would agree with the guys, it is a long and awsome road. Great to see some MMA guys spreading the good word of traditional martial arts.

[@Alpha_Jay]

I totally agree with hand conditioning I've been doing it for almost a year. And I can tell a HUGE difference when I first started hand conditioning! My knuckles almost doubled in size. Also I feel less pain and I can hit longer

[@KingD0ngo]

Doubled? You sure?

[@Alpha_Jay]

@@KingD0ngo yes! Especially my pink knuckle! It was my smallest knuckle and now it's about the same size as my first pointer finger knuckle!

[@KingD0ngo]

@@Alpha_Jay danm but how tho? Wolfs Law dosent work fast enough to make that change in a year. Even those iron fist guys in china who devote themselves to hand conditioning soley don’t ever double their knuckle sizes rarely do they even increase beyond 1.5 size? And that’s years. Even shin training produces rarely any visible changes beyond the occasional knot? And you can condition those almost every day and much harder

[@Alpha_Jay]

@@KingD0ngo all I can tell you is that constantly hitting bags and also hitting my fist together and letting them heal gave me good bone density! The first 3-4 months or so took my hands like 5 days to heal because I over did it. And eventually the pain and tolerance/endurance of hitting stuff grew. I WOULD PROBABLY SAY IT WAS MORE LIKE 1 YEAR AND A HALF

To be brief, how to read an opponents next move is really something that comes with fighting experience, he could briefly outline it, but really the only way is experience as much of that skill is reliant on subconscious recognition, even then mostly you can't really "read" an opponents next move, you can only estimate it, there are so many equations to it, like feigns etc, though countering is a definite skill which could be a video in itself.

Can we just take a second to appreciate how wholesome these two are? Also, Pops mentioned going no glove bagwork? Should I still use wraps or just go complete bare knuckle?

[@evanthompson1984]

Flourish. Try it without the wraps first and if that causes a lot of discomfort then wrap those hands really well and hit the bag. After a few weeks of that, take the wraps off. But like my dad said, Let those knuckles sink in so those bones can become stronger and don’t start off hitting the bag hard as if you are wearing gloves. Start out light then gradually build up the power😎👍🏻

Wonder boy should do a food challenge Great video btw

[@FilmaticProductions]

My first traditional karate (technically okinawa-te) instructor was Soke Takayuki Kubota, a true warrior and martial arts legend, and I asked him how I could condition my hands. He told me to put my hands up and then he tapped my knuckles with his fist, using almost none of his strength. I honestly thought I broke my hand on the first day of training. Throughout my 4 years at college, I had a glass bottle that I filled with sand and watched old kung fu movies while hitting the bottle. I probably have early on-set arthritis now, but during senior year, he punched my knuckles again during sparring practice and I didn't even flinch. He gave me one nod and I swelled up so much with pride. Thank you, Kubota Soke. I owe so much to your teachings and your passion. I understand many of your lessons now as an older martial artist that I was blind to as a young man. Thank you, Chico Sensei. I'm grateful I've never had to use my martial arts skills in a real situation because you taught me to control my fiery temper and talk or laugh my way out of danger before resorting to violence.

What a genuine dude. He beat Lucque and he still compliments him.

Whos your pick for Tony Khabib Wonderboy??? Also, when`s your next fight??

And the forearms.. I trained with a man who, 40 years into his Kyokushin training, wrapped a thick piece of plastic around cement. Then he would pound his forearms into that modified makiwara. Love the instruction and your sharing of wisdom.

Tony Ferguson the type of guy to watch on Sun to condition his eyes

[@catalin5945]

For real tho

[@rynoerasmus7869]

Amen! It’s a looooong process. The makiwara bites back!!

Wrist injury recover video? I’ve had a wrist injury for a few years now and every so often I hurt it again. Anyway I can help recover this lingering injury? Anyone responding to this would be great help. I’d love to hear different opinions not just wonder boys. Thanks.

It's possibly a result of bad form. In that case get better coaching one of their responsibilities is to keep you from hurting yourself. Unless it has never stopped hurting and you injure it more than once every 3ish months. In the case you have a more serious problem that requires a real physical therapist's input.

carpal tunnel syndrome can set in if you been throwing a punch incorrectly or you tried to push through a injury and ignore the pain. I was guilty of both. I learnt to throw my punches at lower power and focused correct form like I throw a hook palm in not palm down with a solid structure behind the wrist. Second thing make sure you use wrist wraps when going full power on a heavy bag that is what works for me and oh learn to give your body time to heal

[@ManHandleSnowflakes]

Stop pulling yourself so much.

[@nowmma3292]

Incredibly important to transfer knowledge to younger generations, for me to listen to this video is priceless, I know for sure that what is said here is legit and it’s so exiting

[@nathankeys1368]

Was your dad in the military? Just by the way he speaks I feel like he was stationed in Japan and learned karate there.

[@psychopunk8817]

That would be some badass history if that is true

[@nathankeys1368]

@Zeek Banistor true... But I still think however he learned karate has to be an interesting story

[@realMaverickBuckley]

@Zeek Banistor Mark, why? High rank in the US Air Force. Edit: Apparently there are 23 US military bases in Japan. I've only heard of the one my cousin was based at and Kadena. militarybases.com/overseas/japan/
