Wonderboy Teaches YOU How To Make Your Front Kicks MORE EFFECTIVE! 

I feel entirely introduced

"It's a good thing we train these so you don't use them." Best comment of the week. lol

Mr T is just raw in the best type of way. Love it 😂👏

I'd love a breakdown on the lead leg inside kick!

I love adding Karate techniques into my Muay Thai practice and using them in sparring. My gym is VERY Muay Thai, everyone there basically just does Thai style roundhouse kicks to the thighs and torso, and the occasional teep. Adding in all of these Karate kicks catches people off guard!

Excelent front kick breakdown!! Can you do a breakdown of different styles between yours, Raymond Daniels', Michael "Venom" Page's and Conor McGregor's?

Can you do a video on getting through an opponent's guard while sparring, or do you already have a video on that or something similar that I just missed.

One day I’d love to see a breakdown on the combo you used to beat Robert Whitaker it was one of the best things I’ve ever seen

Front kicks have become such an under used technique in combat sports. Thank you for the great video wonderboy. Excellent job

When I started Goju Ryu in the 90s we used to do the Jodan Keri (front straight head kick to the bridge of the nose) with the heel. The technique was modified a decade later. We now kick with the ball of the foot as it gives range and more success in the event the opponent pulls their head back. However, as Wonderboy correctly stated the snap is very important to make it a 'hit' and not a 'push'. We achieve that by setting it up from the hip

Glad you made a channel! You taught my son Bryson years ago and he still follows you. You’re an awesome person Stephen, stay the way your are brother 🤘🤙👊👍

My favorite technique! I love the versatility of the chamber, high mid low, turn it into a snappy round kick or feint to something else. I am not a martial artist but I throw front kicks everyday just for fun!

Yeet finally some of my childhood TKD helps rather than hurts unlike re-learning the roundhouse and leg kicks for Muay Thai

I got introduced like never before. Thanks Sweet T and Steve.

1:03 ahahah, had a classical guitar teacher like that. No filter, funny, informative while being savage! You can tell Papa Ridgehand is a great teacher. Super envious of all the stuff you guys learned

I just love the relationship you all have with eachother, it's cool to be strong but love your family and God dearly. I wish I had a close family like that!

I love these. They are super effective and hard to see coming and therefore defend. PS: it works for the legs too.

As much as I miss Sweet T, this Mr. T guy is pretty awesome too.

I really liked the discussion by Papa Ridgehand about the hips square for more power. In one of the styles I train our stance is more square and one of the reasons we do that is for power.

Nahhh you gotta say this is upstate karate!! Lol loving it WB

Love the way Mr. T breaks down the different aspects of a given technique. WB would love to see you guys do a technique Tuesday of effective punch/kick combos for MMA

Love the content! Been using a lot of your content in my classes so thank you! I’d love to see some simple sparring drills for my point fighters 😎

Gread video man. Keep it up!

Ty for another great video... I really dig the content 👌

Awesome Video!

Best notification to get is wonderboys uploads.

Thank you for your sharing of your experience and knowledge

Love the training tips on point with my instructors teaching super entertaining too

Thanks for this. It's funny cause I have been practicing the same exact lead in, but for a step-in "side" kick from that karate stance that you use so effectively. Appreciate it.

Great as always, WB. You can also aim the front kick to different areas, if attacking the torso. I f you aim for the right side of the torso, you could the liver, and game over! Seen it happen!

This is great stuff. I need to practice this stuff at my gym

Love this series. Would love to see more videos on footwork

Love your work and love to watch u fight.

Thank for having me!! Had a great time training for a few days and learned a lot! 🤙🏼

Great point about hip position in a text book or perfect world vs the more likely application with the hips turned a bit!

Excellent ✊🥋!!

I love your sensei-dad. He’s clearly a lifelong martial artist who loves his art. Oss to him! I’ve also never used the mae geri (front kick) even in traditional point-fighting competitions. Point-fighters generally move so fast and can just cut angles to totally catch opponents off guard. But this and and Lyoto Machida’s chin-snap version inspire me to train more strength and speed.

I've started training.this helps .

Thankyou sirs!

Mr.T you killed it!

We love you guys. War Wonderboy!!!

Great stuff team wb

Let’s get it sweetT and Mr.T

I love the front kick or the teep, quite effective either for combat sports or self-defense scenarios as long as your skilled at kicking and it's well-timed and well-placed.

Big up Sweeeet' T and the legend Stephen thompsons dad Puppa Ridgehand 💪🏻✋🏻🤣 and WB too ! Great vid as ever guys !!! Love from England ❤️🇬🇧💯

U gotta love the classic mae geri such great insight here 👍

I wish we could see it more in Ufc. One of my favorites especially after a jab fent

This RU-vid channel is amazing

Sick stuff, would be great if there's some tips on footwork for angle changing!

Love a good front kick!

Mr T was great once again!

It would be so cool training with you guys...nice explanation about the front kick ,thanks...Regards from Norway 🇳🇴

I wanna see all the leg kick technique you know, I watch some of them like the question mark kick, and you did good breaking it down

I’d love to see a video on generating power with the rear leg back kick.

Huge fan of Mr T

Nice stuff wb

Wonderboy 🔥🔥🔥

I have absolutely no martial arts background. After watching this I feel confident that I can kick someone into the pit of death.

Essentially you can use the snap frontkick how you use your side kick when you change to a more square stance to better check leg kicks. Love the lead front kick its a martial artists second jab.

My absolute favorite kick to throw outside of my fade-in sidekick 🥋

I've started trying to teach continuous/full-contact combinations to traditional karate students by disguising it as kata bunkai. So the maegeri -> junzuki -> gyakazuki -> junzuki combo from jion becomes the front kick -> blitz that Machida hit Jon Jones with. It's a fun way to teach and seems to appease students from a variety of backgrounds.

BEST INTRO EVER!

12/10 introduction!

Technique Tuesday with Sweet T!

Dude, Weston keeps good company these days! Congrats

I like the respect WB has for his dad, yes sir no sir, it's nice to see

Huge fan from Sri Lanka ❤🙌

Sad for no podcast this week 😭 but good video!!

LETSSSSS GOOOO YALL

I’d love to see a breakdown of your favorite kick knockouts in MMA and how to do them effectively in different scenarios

God Bless your dad he's a great example of someone who makes men! I know he's not perfect but Golly he sure looks close, I grew up in THe bronx with a sick dad, and was born missing my right hand, survived cancer and now have 2 boys and a girl, about to be 47 If God is willing and was picked on my whole life . But when I see you guys and how you love eachother , makes me happy but kinds sad I never had that. My boys are doing great though in school, one goes to Vanderbuilt on scholarship and got possibly another on the way and my daughter all honor students. My wife is a great preschool teacher, I guess I just wonder what happened to my life, trying to find some reason to push on but I'm so tired. Sorry guys for this, Love and peace.

I’d love to see one about switch kicks.

I'm 6'1 and I use the front kick probably the most out of all my techniques. It's so versatile to setup hand combinations when their hands drop

the pendulum step is what you call it in JKD and they do it like this too, except they throw the hips forward like a knee right before impact for a little extra power.

Legit intro

I saw your comment on Mr Ballens 'true crime' type channel, Wonderboy! Literally 100's of folks were so excited to see your comment on that channel! You are a lot more 'famous' than you realise! Edit - WB comment has 8.9k likes and 449 replies!

I've been practicing these for a couple weeks, so good timing, cuz I suck

kicks are like spaceman moves . wow thats neat

Wonderboy is out there showing some karate to the common folk.

Was interesting that Mr T wants the hips square with the kick. I would think turning the hip as you deliver would give you a bit more drive. Will try when back in the dojo

Guys, remember about hip movement, all the power comes from pushing that pelvis to the front while extending the leg. If you bend to the front, youll just push yourself away. Also no mention of feet placement. You are not doing this with your legs |-- or even worse \-- You are supposed to have this type of angle of the legs /-- so you push him, not yourself. You do that by mastering the range of the kick, if you are too far, youll fall to the front exposed, if you are too close, youll push yourself away, or fall on your back. Just a bunch of quick tips to improve quick.

Yooooo wonder boy, wasssssaaaaaa 😝

3:50 Wonder man thinking.....never let a boy teach a man move.🤔

Great lesson! This isn't taught properly often enough, every kick can be a pushing kick to push your opponent into other strikes but every kick or knee should have snapping and pushing variations. My Seido Kai Kan instructor use to say, it was a good addition to feints and fakes and the best use of bag work, alternating pushing and snapped kicks to set the bag up for the next strike. Plus, Muay Thai guys hate when you snap kick em in the face 🤪

This is not just a front kick it’s a hopping front kick which is still nice

This technique reminds me of the Reyes vs Jiri fight!

Believe it or not Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu has a front kick with the body turned sideways. You strike with the heal, and with training you can get a pretty good bit of power. They call it a side kick, but the foot is upright.

Wonderboy whats you opinion on Muay Thai RoundHouse kick?

Great video, if you're soliciting suggestions for topics to cover, I would like to see Wonder Boy teach & demonstrate some effective feints to utilize

Front kicks are great. Specially when u can sneak them just out of sight when partners hands are busy hehe

Maroon shirt on his left has some excellent power.

WOW!! is it a new camera?? Really nice bokeh

Sweeeeeet T!

Wonderboy you are forgetting when you put jorge masvidal on his butt with a front kick! I might be misremembering it for a side kick but he went flying.

We call the footwork technique a slide shuffle. It's the same footwork Rose Namajunas used when she knocked out Weili Zhang: slide shuffle lead round kick- JKD's bread and butter

When's the podcast dropping?

I want to meet Wonderboy and Sensei Seth and shake their hands! Oh, and hopefully, get an autograph and picture! These guys are great! True Martial Artists! Do they still do UFC meet and greets?

Your gym looks *insane* In a good way.

How about doing that kick with both feet leaving the ground at the same time? To make it faster.

Well, I mean it isn't Sensei Seagal level front kick teaching, but I guess it's pretty good for all that.
