Whats dope about Wonderboy is he never JUST give you tips and tricks, he let's you hear it from different people and different perspectives just so you can get a well rounded idea on multiple ways to use the advice. I dig it.
Clearly you've never seen Rocky. You're suppose to walk into 1500 head shots, then break their ribs. Walk into 1500 more and land a single left hook to their head. Repeat this for 37 rounds and defeat them in the 39th round after a inspirational comeback in the 38th. Now give a speech that ends communism.
its not rocket science. hands down leaves you more unprotected but its less tiring for the shoulders, you can play with punches from different angles, your center of gravity is lower so its easier to move and come back to the stance. all of that is harder with hands up but your defense goes 90% up and you’re more accurate with your punches for the same reason as why you’re more accurate holding rifles up against the shoulder instead of down at the waist like you see in the movies.
@@knuckle-sandwichmma681 I've learned a lot from your analysis! I might add that hands down fall outside the field of vision of the opponent and your punches can catch them off-guard more easily. And by keeping your hands low, it's harder for the opponent to acccurately judge the distance (by touching your gloves with theirs for example) and you can more easily do hit and run tactics. I'm sure there's more, that's just what I've learned about it so far.
@@lastincarnation8062 thank you for the feedback. appriciate it. like i said punches from different angles. not sure about the distance part cuz some guys can manage distance just by the feet positioning and if your opponent keeps the guard up he can still measure with their own jab cuz its not about how far your fist is from the opponents guard but how far it is from the target which is the head but then again with hands down its easier to pull from punches which requires extremely fast reflexes and boxing IQ to recognize the signals of your opponent that they gonna throw. one thing is certain, no one should keep their hands down unless they can reduce the risk with elite footwork and headmovement
I'm from and live in Nigeria. I became a massive UFC fan the moment kamaru and Izzy started getting love. However wonderboy you're the reason why I started training mixed martial arts. You make my Tuesdays really enjoyable due to your energy and your teaching methods makes it easier to learn. So well thank you keep it going. Special shout out to hard2hurt and seth.
I started Tae Kwon Do at 6 years old and at 12 I finally received my black belt. I quit not long after, and I regret it to this day. I have always had a love for the arts. I’m now 33 love working out and thinking about getting back into some type of training just for the physical training. Thanks Stephen for the motivation to get back into it and the awesome videos, you and Pops are the men! 👍🏼
Head movement is so important, thank you! I see you are wearing an Upstate Karate shirt with Kempo on it. Is there a difference between Karate and Kempo or are they basically the same?
I may be biased as a SC native.. but this is my fav youtube channel. Got to see the gym in person and it's hard to believe how nice it is. Literally like a YMCA for fighting💪🥋🥊
For me, sparring really helped refine these head movements. When I was straight drilling, I tended to exaggerate movements because it all just felt like choreography, and I wanted to get the motion right. But when someone was actually throwing punches at my head, that's when I realized I needed to keep the principles of bobbing and weaving but reduce movement as much as possible, i.e. what Wonderboy said about making your opponent just barely miss but still miss. So you gotta spar! Sometimes I see sparring partners bob their head one way to dodge a punch and then immediately bob the other way because that's how the drill goes. You keep doing that, you'll find a hook waiting for you on the other side! 😆
Been training for three years straight kickboxing and muay Thai. Done a little karate as a kid and some Japanese Ju Jitsu (not a lot). I mimic your moves and follow your techniques as much as possible. Legend. Also love the DBZ reference.
Hey Wonderboy, Sweet T, Papa Ridgeland, etc. I lost my brother due to suicide last month and my Dad is taking it really rough! I live in Arkansas he lives in Oregon. He's a Wonderboy fan and I love the whole family. I was wondering if you could send me some autographs maybe some shirts or something? I can pay you guys if I need too! I know it would mean a lot to him and me too. Thank you, Bobby
Idea for yall: How about a midweek critique? Name is eh, TBD, but the idea is to breakdown mma fights, especially those that involve high-level striking. Classic fights and new. Would be really cool to hear yalls breakdown/analysis. May give a source of ideas for Technique Tuesday as well. When you said "DBZ style" - I felt that. RESPECT!
Hey Wonderboy I love these videos, but what would you do if your wife is way smaller than you but she’s a little spitfire and you’re sick of having to take a few punches just to land your big right?
Im struggling to slip to my rear hand side. i feel very out of balance unless i bring my rear foot forward making me almost square, or if i lean back over my rear foot as I do it which causes me to slip forward ro the right and back to the left(southpaw). Any tips?
can you do a roll in mma like idk what it called i think it called a weave or sum but can u do it in mma in boxing it used to dodge hooks but idk if it ok to do in mma because you dont want to get kneed in the face when doing it .
I’m an expert of head movement: my head moves when it bounces up and down off the canvas
Luke Rockhold is that you?
@@user-tj8ys4ic8w damn…
That's good. It's hard to hit a moving target

This is not true
Absolutely! Wonderboy is the best! I still believe he can get that belt.
@@devinb5937 You liked your own comment and you are wrong!
1:28 smaller version of Jake Paul
WonderDad should be a part of every technique vid. He's clearly an ocean of knowledge
Wonderdad should get a title shot
@@AstroBladez74 there is a reason he does not compete, no one wants to see a bunch of 5 second KOs in ufc. Wonderdad is too powerful.
@@whatsnerdypodcast3649 Wonderdad vs kumshot set that shit up💯
I've been meaning to say this for while, but I like the new camera you've been using for your production. It's looking really good 😉
That looks like a Huawei phone camera tbh bluring sht out in the background and focusing on the main view =]
Day 2 of trying to get Wonderboy himself to reply with a "What's up everybody?"
What’s up everybody?! Lol
Mission Accomplished
@@WonderboyMMA LETS GOOO. Only 2 days for Wonderboy to reply you the real mvp
@@ChinFinder MissioN aCCOMPLISHED
Gotttt emmm!
I just wanna say the UFC needs more guys like you, Wonderboy! Thank you for the great content and amazing fights
You should do a "wonderboys guide to counter striking" or "wonderboys guide to range/distance management" next
Yeeeesssss
Yeaaaa
Awesome breakdown of head movement drills! And you know the DBZ reference is always appreciated :)

U guys should break down hands up vs hands down fighting, the pros and cons of each
YES

They listened lol
It's cool but disorienting to see Wonderboy in coach mode. So serious!
Shout out to the GOAT, Edmond Tarverdyan.
Yo I actually for some respect for him after he revealed Shabazyan is his pupil. He's actually pretty good
day 1 of trying to convince wonderboy to make "what's up everybody" his walkout song
Awesome content as always! :) love your whole gym and everything you guys represent. Never stop being awesome!
These are my favorite type of vids! Thanks wonderboy!
1:43 Ben askren needed that advice before the Masvidal fight ...
First
Orochi Doppo and Orochi Katsumi in the real life
Wonderboy, Leon Edwards versus Jorge Masvidal is happening. Who do you place your bets on?
Yeet
Always looking forward to technique Tuesday’s….YOU THE MAN WONDERBOY!!
You're a legend Wonderboy, given so much to the MMA community
Wonderboy is the type of guy to call his father "brother".
WonderBoy will be Welterweight Champ in the very near future!!!
WONDERBOY!!!

As a beginner this really helps me understand headmovement better thanks Stephen💯💯
Liked and commented, now time to watch the video lol
Yo man I got a question:
Why in KB is round kicking 45° inward rather than straight across favoured?
From my experience, it's easier to get past the guard/check (elbow, shin, or knee blocks) of an opponent

Kempo is under the “umbrella” of Karate. It’s a style of karate. Hope that helps. 👊🏼
@@WonderboyMMA Thank you so much!! You really are the nicest guy in the UFC :I hope you reach your goal of another championship!
Wonderboy: "Head movement is not really talked about a whole lot..."
Edmond Tarverdyan has entered the chat.
In fairness he didn't say it isn't shouted about a whole lot 😉
Put me in Coach I'm Ready
Thank you!!! Maybe some combos to practice on the heavy bag?
Ayy
I may be biased as a SC native.. but this is my fav youtube channel. Got to see the gym in person and it's hard to believe how nice it is. Literally like a YMCA for fighting💪🥋🥊
Amazing video! Gonna use these!
Dude, when you said Mr. T. I honestly expected pity for some fools 🤣🤣🤣
fun part : once you start tying these , you'll see the effect
❤ Wonderboys content👊🏽

Now onto the real pro tips: HEAD MOVEMENT! HEAD MOVEMENT! HEAD MOVEMENT!
Israel Adesanya, Sean Omalley, Dominick Cruz. They're good at head movement
Wow clay loves the updated gym and very good job on your intro also your really good at teaching karate and fighting keep up the good work.
Wait, whut? "Head movement!" isn't just a punchline? Punch... line...

Wonderboys my favourite fighter got very unlucky against Gilbert burns can't wait for his next fight
Wonderboy's gonna compete on professional boxing or fight Jake Paul, i just know it.
Love Your videos. Used some of techniques in my own fights. Greetings from Poland.
Yoooo Wonderboy.....could you break down Paddy Pimblett and how he could possibly rise in the UFC? We would love to hear your input Wonderboy!! 😁😁🙏
What do you think about MYPE Sports hyping up Tom Aspinall as the new NMF?
no one can say wonderboy doesn't have a chin after that geoff neal fight! WB GOES THE END LETSS GOOOO!
Wonderboy is the definition of martial arts discipline, focus, and respect.

When you said "DBZ style" - I felt that. RESPECT!
...watching the ending segment and I cant help but think about a fathers pride.. and well, holy smokes!
Great video! I just realized Papa Ridgehand should start doing voice over work.
where is you gym located and what programs do you offer ?
Literally got hit in the head so much a few days ago. Perfect video for me right now.
Wonderboy deciples in the video. Lucky people! Train hard!
WB can you please do The Battle Royal Sparring Challenge Part 2 with Sensei Seth , Houston Jones and Sweet T🙏
Wonderboy should move upto middleweight. Him and adesanya would be a treat to watch.
Love and support from Sri Lanka.. Thanks for the tips..Hope to train in yout gym oneday❤
U my favorite fighter wonderboy please beat usman and get that fucking belt pleaseeee
Hey Wonderboy I love these videos, but what would you do if your wife is way smaller than you but she’s a little spitfire and you’re sick of having to take a few punches just to land your big right?
Question - can you slip that lead job to the midline and sabaki that right cross giving you a little more dangerous offensive options?
When you think WB couldn't get any cooler he drops a dragon ball Z reference casually into a technical video!
Im struggling to slip to my rear hand side. i feel very out of balance unless i bring my rear foot forward making me almost square, or if i lean back over my rear foot as I do it which causes me to slip forward ro the right and back to the left(southpaw). Any tips?
Dude I would do crazy things to learn from wonderboy and papa ridgehand
Why do I feel like this vid was slightly inspired by Paddy Pimblett holding his chin two foot in the air a couple weeks ago😂
nice one. please more footwork drills - tutorial for the blitzing would be nice!
papa ridgehand with the tucked in shirt is a major league dad in this vid😂😂 all love, just got done with drilling head movement at the gym at furman!
This is stupid. I just wait until my opponent hits me in the face and moves my head for me. It's far more cardio efficient.
Thanks wonderboy. Now I be bobbing and weaving from my mom coming at me with the belt. Any tips for how to escape when she got me by the ear?
BREAK DOWN LAST FIGHT. AND SEE WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY. I KNOW YOU CAN BEAT HIM ANYDAY!
Can you do a technique Tuesday on breathing cadence? Thanks Wonderboy
Great drill to work on. I have a fight Saturday night can you in the near future make a video on tips on how you stay calm leading up
wonderboy please do a maize bag tutorial for head movement!!
After head movement can you do a Guide to Headbutts like Letwei? lol.
can you do a roll in mma like idk what it called i think it called a weave or sum but can u do it in mma in boxing it used to dodge hooks but idk if it ok to do in mma because you dont want to get kneed in the face when doing it .
Problem with all these head movement is low kicks and body kicks.
Reverse punch. In your fights you use in your own way???????
I would love a technique video on the black widow flying triangle
More bending at the knees than the waist or you’re gonna cop a knee/uppercut 👍🏽
You guys should do a break down of the ridge hand knockout done recently in the karate kombat league
Why don’t you go to 185 pounds and go for the title you have a better chance of getting a title shot
Do a fake street fight in public with sweet tea
Wonderboy hooking us up with the drills !!!
I love the Mike Tyson reference! Thanks guys!
I only think 1 thing when I hear head movement .. Edward and Rhonda 😆
Wonder boy, What style of Karate is it you practice at your gym?
So basic but so helpful with a break down like this!!
Somebody tag Paddy Pimblett as he has a lot to learn from this...
Did you just say “mr T love you brotha” 😂😂
keep it up Sir, love this technique Tuesday
If he was more aggressive in last fight he would have one.
I really want those pitch black gloves
This video for mike perry👍🏻👍🏻🤟🏻
still kinda upset you didnt walk out to thee intro song LOL
