[@unitedstatesofthekingdom6825]

There are too many clout chasers like masvidal which he exposed

[@tash5540]

@@unitedstatesofthekingdom6825 masvidal isn't a clout chaser. That's an exaggeration from Kamaru to get people to hate Jorge just because he does. Jorge and Usman dislike each other, and Jorge isn't ready to take the fight on short notice. He let's us know he really wants it though, trying to get in Usman's head. That doesn't make Jorge a faker or clout chaser.

[@esscate]

@@tash5540 Who cares what Kamaru sais. Kamarus opinions does not even come from him, he seems to be as boring of a stock wrestler as they come. I'd bet a lot that everything Kamaru has said about other fighters in front of the cameras was fed to him by other people. That is why he is so inconsistant. Jorge is a clout chaser, not because Kamaru sais so but because he tries to get a championship fight, or a fight with Mcgregor (which is telling) by talking shit instead of beating the best people in the ufc. He is on 3 fight win streak against 3 fighters with almost as bad a record against top competition as he has, why do you think he is in talks for a titleshot if not for his clout chasing?

[@DrEvil-os9dc]

Masvidal is legit. Wonderboy was a nightmare matchup for him. Thompson deff best striker in division. I’d like to see a 3rd fight with Woodley, get that W

[@MrRobjs83]

needs at least 1 more W , vs either Leon Edwards, Santiago P. , Lawler, Cowboy, or maybe a trilogy fight with Woodley, Thompson vs Covington would also be interesting but most likely it'll be Woodley vs Covington next

[@paulclarkson4657]

[@corykobe3769]

[@KidDinomite07]

I wish I had friends like Wonderboy growing up. Feel like i would be a completely different person. Thank you for the awesome tutorial!! This is one of my favorite kicks since not many people think a 240+ lb guy would ever pull it off!

[@DalerMehndiDeekSheik]

And you'd probably wouldn't. Keep practicing though buddeh

[@joshedward2330]

I can relate to that. Right now at 36 yrs old I'm about 275 lbs and most ppl wouldn't expect I could do this kick either but I've been practicing it since I was about 12 yrs old and have done it well ever since. Obviously, I'm not thin/skinny/average/athletic or muscular in body size but as a large man, I'm extremely athletic. I'm also a sprinter and I run unusually fast. Most ppl assume that I'm in the 235-255 bracket because I'm bigger than I look. I just happen to hide it well but I'm chubby & overweight and have been ever since I was 19 but that never stopped me from doing backflips, tornado kicks & kip-up/back springs from a laying position. From age 15-32 I've been able to execute a complete back-spring and land on my feet without a problem up until I injured my back AND sprained my ankle just a couple years ago. I was never really all that smart & successful academically in school but I was athletic as hell in gym class/P.E. & sports because I could run super fast, jump high (good vertical leap) and I knew some awesome martial arts kicks. All of this still being chubby & overweight 215 lbs+ as far back as I can remember. I later found out my skinny better looking & smarter older brother was jealous of my athletic ability, LOL. Go figure.

[@joshedward2330]

[@thatbroman6409]

Hurt my knee grappling so im stuck lifting weights for a couple of weeks, def cool tho, gonna try this when my knee gets better

[@KungFuCooter]

I love this kick. That's why I did a tutorial on it about a year ago. Taekwondo usually sets it up with a round kick instead of taking a step. And if you open your hips up it allows the kick to land with the instep of your foot and it makes it more consistent.

[@john-thomaschavez8306]

Thank you for this video, Mr. Thompson. Because of this tutorial, this kick not only has become one of my favorites to practice, but I was able to successfully (and safely/carefully) pull this off in sparring the other week. Keep up the awesome work!

[@benjaminstorm2763]

Hey Stephen, I’m not sure if you know me but my dad is Mike Storm. A few years ago he was refereeing muay tai fights and you and your dad sent me a video saying hi. GO GET THAT TITLE SHOT!!!!

[@romanoonamor7690]

[@mslaughter001]

Cover, in-depth, the spinning hook kick. How to learn, practice, improve it and differentiate between wheel and hook kick. Also, setup of course. I’m thoroughly enjoying your techniques! Keep it up brother! I’m a big fan, much love homie.

[@-infinity-1778]

Hey Stephen Big Fan, Im a 4th dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Just wanted to give you a tip to land the tornado kick faster, when lifting up your back leg out in front of you lower your knee so that it is straight and you'll find that your kick is a lot faster than normal. If you find that your technique works better for you then do that. :)

Been waiting for your guide on the tornado kick, finally!

[@aleksandrmerchant]

I love the quick set ups. When I first learned this I would do left foot forward in orthodox, cross my right foot over like if i was gonna throw a hammer first and then twist my body counter clockwise almost spinning on my left heel with the right foot following it. Not sure if i was doing it wrong but it still feels good and lands in sparring lol

The kick is awesome. It's probably my favourite kick (this and the lead teep). Love Technique Tuesday. Techniques have been broken down, how about exit angles after moves (in the future). Staying defensively responsible, especially, after big moves like this is important too Can't just let 'em take your back. It's not sexy, but it adds up. #WeLoveYouChamp

[@topshot2787]

Been a fan for a long time, this is as cool as hell. Great to see them actually being used in the octagon because its rare to see the art now in all its glory. The kicks and tricks are supersmart, but most of all they are affective and powerful and absolutely surgical when they land. Its great showin us at home how to do these, but it would also be good to just showcase all the "spinning s##t" and flying kicks with the supercool landings telling us what they are, just for kicks. The video with Crossfire in the background and clips from past battles is awesome. All the best and stay safe from lancashire uk.

You break it down nicely..I was in korea in 1965 studied mu Duk there..I could jump then.now at 75 I can hardly get off the ground but still train and keep my kicks grounded.if you have 4kicks that work well for self defense purposes its all you need provided you can generate enough power in your technique to inflict max damage. Regardless I'm gonna practice ur technique to see if it works for me..lookin good young man...keep training for life
