Upstate Karate (Thompson's family dojo and gym) should have a fighter in Karate Combat

Wonder boy passing this knowledge is a goldmine. Always grateful for the man and his time.

[dustinfant]

Great advice, love it! Will apply this to my sparring sessions this week, thank you!

[AdudenamedVince]

Giving out great advice for free, gotta love it!

[adnanarnautovic]

awesome, I suggest you to show them your yoko geri (side kick) in way you do that technik

[thatoneewokthatdied]

I always love me some wonderboy lessons! The worry I have with this is getting low-kicked the moment I step in with all my weight on my front leg but I guess you could work with feints or front-leg kicks beforehand to get him thinking of of other things as well as good timing of course.

Steven 'Wonderboy' Thompson should compete in Karate Combat.

[jonbaker]

Nice video, I love "masking the opponent's vision" jabs

[jonathanjuliman]

It's the simple moves that will help bring in the combos!

[CrunchyJayman]

Love how clean the pit looks the best fighting stage of all time! Much better than a ring or octagon.

[Pwasercan]

man, this is really advanced, I never saw such advanced techniques on Stephen's channel :O Awesome tricks

[mingkern]

This is the move that dropped masvidal when wonderboy fought him

[KevOtieno]

Like the idea, this is so cool for karate students thanks❤

[TheFlamingChips]

A UFC legend sharing knowledge with a combat karate champion. Priceless

[Atius]

I love Wonderboy. Always dropping gems.

[JoseFernandez-gicv]

Thank you! Simple but very effective and useful 🥋👍🏻🙏

[syedzaidi]

You know what a good comparison this is too? Infantrymen in CQB training are thought "Slicing the Pie" with their rifle and field of vision through a window or something. In this case the punches are his shots and the window is felling your opponent. Absolutely brilliant !

[bentoncushing]

Thanks Master Thompson great class..

[bentoncushing]

Great video, , , , many thanks, , , , that's very slick, , , forces the opponent to move head to look, , , opening the face guard..very nice..

[CrueHead]

Wonderboy is a natural as a instructor/analyst.
