How To: The Lead Hand Hook | Stephen Wonderboy Thompson

This is amazing, I haven't seen too many karate schools share hooks. I know a kempo practitioner and they have this hand book filled with philosophy that keeps them humble to every style even though they retain their original stance. I already feel that this will be the best martial arts resource on the internet after a few years of developing its library. Your open mindedness and entertaining ability to teach confirm this feeling. I'm grateful to be a student

One time doing contracting work I was whacked with a 5lb to 10lb metal hook in the side of the head once it snapped off the pick up truck.

If that was someone's cheap shot I would have had a lot more fun 😂❤

If this man had a full online curriculum, I'd take every lesson!

👍

If I follow these steps woul I be able to
Punch like ufc fighters

“Ima bring my bro tony out here” idk why but I just imagined Tony Ferguson break dancing his way into the camera 😂

Lol his stance so far apart prob can just make him lose balance so easy 😅

Good informative video

Hey, what does your short consist of?
It looks very nice :)
Love u

My last knockout was a lead hook. My lead hand is my strong arm and my power leg is my left. I stand southpaw. Just more comfortable, which is weird because I'm left handed but my right is way more powerful.

Hey WB, do you fingers hurt when throwing your hooks? Can you please make a video on how to correctly throw a hook specifically with the hands. I have an upcoming fight and as I hit the heavy bag or even in my padworks, my fingers would hurt when I throw my hooks and uppercuts.

Sir,iam your fan! Love from India.

You look like freaking Guile dude! Perfect!

Haha oh, man. I was just watching a random highlight video of yours of your Karate days and was impressed for that check hook. Came to look for the technique tutorial and came yours right away. Magic of technology. Cheers from Torreón, Mexico, Wonderboy AKA NMF!

Driving from the rear foot is the key to having range on the lead hook.

very cool learning from the Wonderboy himself

the movement !!! dude ... so freakin smooth

This long hook was how Oliveira took Chandler down. Beautiful technic

Yes the short hook should be vertical, the long hook should be horizontal or even more like a ridge hand hitting with the hammer or wrist bone

Karate stance lead hook babyyyye

You seem good! Have you considered fighting professionally?

Well done thank you

Thank you so much for this

Pad Guy: Sensei Seth from Wish

from the point of classic boxing , everything you do look like a rookie in the first year...dont get me wrong maybe its ok for mma , but in boxing , shoulder is to deep (which may is ok ,cause of grabbling parts in mma) your stance is to wide (maybe ok for throwing kicks)...but these are points well which we may can skip ,according to mma ...but the hook sir ,no iam not with you ... first of all the hook technique you had , is for the inn fight ,your explaining of well its may is ok if some turn there hand ,but this leads to fractures, is so wrong, from the view of a boxer ...this hook technique is for the normal range (medi ) because using your technique will lost power the further someone stand to you ...your hooks will lead to good results in infight situation , at medium you may feel fine ,without noticing your lack of power , in long range jeah you noticed that your kind of style loses power...now here is the magic trick , do a full turn with your hand , so that your thumb and knuckles show downstairs...this is called baseballbat in my country , its the 3rd technique you getting drilled ,if you just do boxing , it feels awkward for beginners and rookies (like any kind of hook do at the start) but if you getting used to it , your hook on long distance becomes a killer , sparing you gas for jump in or close the distance techniques ...if you ever try to get even better than right now , try it out ,train for about 1-2month and you will be fine ...cheers

Your balls look exposed shin kick nuts.

I’ve been training on the bag in my basement for about a year now. I’ve learned a faint 1,3,5 with a few different head movements. The Stipe hook won me $2000. I needed to learn it. The O’Malley faint uppercut, jab, straight is lethal if they have their hands out wide. I just want to find a gym in metro Detroit. I just wanna fight

but do fighters actually throw punches like that in the match? when I look at the slow mo I've never seen fighters throw jabs or hooks exactly like they teach you at the boxing gym. why is that?

Fantastic overview!

SWEET TEEEEE.

Sweet T did DC dirty with that KO impression 😂

Can't wait to try this on my wife when I get home and dinner isn't ready. So we put on the focus pads and do some striking practice while it's still cooking.

Wonder boy fights like goku very similar style and techniques even the playful personality

Random thought... him wearing green reminds me of Guille? Right?

I was always told a '' traditional left hook only travelled 6 Inches '' ? Pivot the front leg same time as the hook is delivered and shift weight to the rear leg. Any responces appreciated please

Anyone else find it abit difficult to keep elbow up high as hand

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! I was looking for a good hook guide and a video from you is perfect! hell yeah

One of the best

Excellent breakdown wonderboy.phenomenal technique.he's not popular now...but the best lead left hook in the business in my opinion is tommy Morrison.vicious.and he was using the merge of gravity. 👊👍😊

I love you, but you look like Guile from street fighter

something popped into my head when you were talking about body shots... as a GoJu Ryu practitioner, i dont know much about Kempo, but do you guys do the Sanchin kata too, with your sensei beating the crap out of you while you do it too?

thoughts on application of the breathing techniques in Sanchin with combat sports?

Phenomenal professional insight from one of the best strikers in the UFC 👌 need to get a lead hook during Carona 😂

With all the problems from corona virus and loosing my job and rent being screwed, I watch your videos and it perks me up. Thanks man..

I command you always but you dont reply or put any heart
