Stephen Wonderboy Thompson - How To: Striking Combo W/ Angle Change

In this weeks episode I add on to the shuffle jab to create a quality striking combo that I used in my fight vs Jorge Masvidal. By adding a cross, another shuffle, and another cross, this combo has become deceptive to the competition. With the added angle change this combo also adds an evasive element as well. I hope you enjoy this weeks break down! Thanks for watching!

This is crazy seeing Wonderboy doing KZbin , I love these videos

[@chris-Ribble-Roots]

Amazing isn't it. Problem is though, I wanna see him win but he's giving away all his moves 😂

[@fadingsolitude1327]

@@chris-Ribble-Roots It's not as simple as that. It's about mind games, experiance, setting it up in a real fight, having the right body type... Most fighters won't come even close. I'm sure he ain't tealling all of it. Anyway he's close to retirement so it doesn't matter

[@shanemccarthy265]

I remember when you used this technique to knock down Jorge Masvidal.

[@paragon1782]

I think that was just a jab to a angle change cross but very Similar.

[@shanemccarthy265]

@@paragon1782 Yeah, it was a striking combo w/ angle change, just not the exact combo in this video. Still has same principles though.

[@ilopgaara]

@@paragon1782 That jab was almost like just a faint to get him blinking and hit him with the angle changed cross, he schooled Jorge so hard that fight, I loved it.

[@dramaticreaper]

I really like how he makes lessons fun. Where I train its all serious and gruelling and I'm the only one cracking inappropriate jokes and getting soft chuckles here and there but NO ONE would joke back. The only reason I haven't stopped is because of amzing content creators like'im reminds me of the fun part of martial arts.

[@cambodiaphnompenhhh]

Love these videos. Please upload more frequently. I think all the fans here will appreciate it too. Much love.

Its Wonderboys enthusiasm that makes it easy to understand and want to keep listening/watching. The blooper at the end is a symbol of ones ego being in check. Great to watch

[@jayn8392]

I don't know where I learned this originally but I used to use it when I boxed in the amateurs about 10 years ago. It is super effective once you get it to the level where you don't have to think about it. Great technique. Wish I could remember who showed it to me. I think it was another youtube video but from either a boxing or muay thai guy.

[@bnc2060]

Where has this channel been all my life

[@apolloarts687]

this is really an amazing technique as most orthodox fighters don't have ways of running offence towards their power hand, moving to the left and fighting as natural for most which is why being able to run offence to the right is incredible

[@djdontgetcooked]

Your channel inspired me to start working out again. I bought myself a punching bag. Every other day I'm doing 5 3 min rounds and After that I'm just doing perfect strike practice, heavy punching and 30 by 30.

Stephen Thompson the Striking Goat of MMA

[@CobraShadowz]

Colby The King of Brazil Covington Anderson Silva

[@reservoirfrogs2177]

Wonderboy, Conor (as much as people hate him when it comes to striking few can compete with him), and Anderson Silva are all tied in my book. The gold standards of MMA striking

[@CobraShadowz]

Ku Ku Klock For me Silva will always be number 1 the things he did in his prime were ridiculous dodged punches like he was in the matrix and made it look easy. I’ll agree Conor is a great striker but his style is limited so that when facing sloppy brawlers like Alvarez he looks on another level but when facing someone that can take a punch to give one back like Diaz he doesn’t look nearly as good. Wonderboy is a great striker all round but he hasn’t been able to finish many top guys if any at all.

[@paragon1782]

@@reservoirfrogs2177 Silvas level of competition was very very very low during his prime. Which is why he looked so good. He used to be my favorite fighter before I actually understood boxing. Conor wonderboy isreal and Holloway are all much much more skilled.

[@paragon1782]

@@CobraShadowz silvas opponents were shit. Conors wins over Mendes aldo and Alvarez are all more impressive than any of silvas wins except that diaz fight where he was roiding and barely won.
