- The hook is one of the most common strikes thrown in all fight sports. Today I give you a simple and effective combo to counter a hook when in the pocket. Most of the time I rely on my movement for my counters but every once in a while you may find your back to the cage or ropes. Use this counter combination to create space and put your opponent on their heels.

“Not a perfect martial artist, but a good man” -Dr. Erskin from captain america
Only killin on rare occasions
“I don’t care what sport it is, hips are the key” truth.
Learning how to use your hips and legs in unison with your core and your arms is the best way to go
👌🏼😎
You can clearly see where it all comes from, ST. Hats off to your dad. Just as much of a character too.
This video is great.
hard2hurt What? No sarcasm? No sly jabs? What??

No, Wonderboy is too nice a guy to do that to. Icy Mike is a good guy deep down. Only a complete prick would intentionally be a prick to WB...like Tyron Woodley
We are lucky to live in an age with all these sensei's and teachers willing to share this Information for free. What is your favorite or perfered counter to wild hooks Sir? Thank you , and God bless
"You need good hips to play chess" lmao
""You need good hips to play chess"" You do. It's called "sitzfleich," literally the flesh on which one sits. It is also known as chair glue.
To have sitzfleisch means the ability to sit still for the long periods of time required to be truly productive; it means the stamina to work through a difficult situation and see a project through to the end.
Without "good hips" in this sense your success as a chess player will be severely limited.
I do not know how the Thompson family found out about "good hips" in chess.
Oh I though he said "you need good hips to do chest" as in chest workouts. It still fits anyways
Papa Thompson seems like he has ALOT of knowledge on striking💁🏼♂️ Not a surprise tho that he’s a wizard when it comes to striking😁
were you expecting to have knowledge on jiu jitsu? hes a karate guy ..
vitor fogaço Please point out the part where i say so💁🏼♂️ I just stated a fact that he’s brilliant WHEN IT COMES TO STRIKING.
Who else Loves WonderDad?? Man you are Blessed to have a Father like him. Take care man
The master with the father!!! Aka...the grandmaster! Masterfully skilled family
00:57 flashbacks of that Pettis fight just went thru Stephen’s head. Lol “Guilty” 😂
Stephen didn't eat a hook though.
Anguel Roumenov Bogoev watch the fight again. Superman hook
I thought it was a straight too, rewatched it tho and can confirm it’s a hook
Great to have Papa T. in on this one! 👏 Glad to be able to learn from you guys, even from a distance!
Thank you wonder boy & pops. Love these videos I can use
I love your synergy
ah straight out of training to check the technique of the day! Perfect! Love to see your fights man...best training/info/entertainment channel out there!
You dad.He's the man, same hook than i used in my boxing time 12 years. Was for me a ko tool.. And a lots of trainers, tried to make me change my hook for the other one than your father explain, the danger to brake you hand... Thanks a lot.. Love your stuff, .Your kicking ability is amazing..
Great video! Lots of useful tips. Thanks for your time.
Awesome techniques thank you for posting this!
Amazing technique for a street fight or MMA. Once again you hit the nail on the head when it comes to technique.
Great video!!! Keep the boxing videos coming so we can put them together with the great kicks you have provided
Love that wonderboy asks questions, always a student and learning!!
Oh man i’d love to train there😫 Only thing stopping that is that i live in Finland so its a bit too far away🤷🏼♂️
Mee too wants i live in India
I live in Australia 🇦🇺 , anyone know their training routine?? I know technique Tuesday lol
Does anyone know if it is possible to drop in for a day?
@@casparbosch5615 Most gyms let you drop in with a day pass, or some have like a free week trial.

^ to my knowledge Finland has alot of top teir places to train your striking. Be resourceful and youll find a good spot.
This deserves more subs. Great info as usual
Beautiful. Just beautiful. A family not only of martial artists but excellent teachers as well. Much love and respect. Peace❤🙌✌
Such valuable content, thanks so much 🙏
Sir you are simply the best. So simple yet such a great technique!
Great vídeo bro
I can’t stop watching, great content, thank you so much!
Love your content. You and pops make a great team.
I like this one. I often find in boxing sparring my guard is not as strong as it should be against a hook. I am always aiming to roll under it / step out of range but I don't always manage that. If I get hit with the hook I usually have my glove there but it doesn't do much to soften the blow. I was looking for something relating to blocking a solid hook when I found this video. This is not exactly what I was looking for but you've given me a few other things to try :-).
First time I have seen one of those striking dummies with arms on them. Seems very practical and useful, especially for counters.
Beautiful combinaison for boxing, or Muay Thai good job sir!
Always great technique, which is rare these days.
All My Appreciation and Respect,
Samurai Steve🙏
You're videos are so funny..so much respect to you & your Pops! Stay safe 🙏🥋
Stephen. This video just popped up in my recommendations. I liked what I saw and heard here. Subscribed. 👊👍
VERY cool!
One of my favorites!
Love this, didn't know you had this going on. I'm definitely subscribing Mr Wonderboy! =]
Thank you, Mr. Wonderboy T! 👍🏽
This is so good. I love this video
Thanks for sharing some of the gold to us.
I’ve been throwing my hooks vertically for as long as I can remember and one of the instructors at my gym corrected me, said I should make a horizontal fist… I’m glad to see im not the only who thinks vertically makes the most sense
Yeah my coach has always said to throw hooks with your thumbs towards the ceiling lol but ig for some people it's personal preference to do it differently
@Andrew Love the "Fedor"/Russian casting hooks!He throws them so fast one after the other!
They are not so easy to learn though, imo.A bit of an awkward feel to them initially.
They have tremendous range (casting hooks) and can sneak past the guard.
Great video! You da man Wonderboy.
We all appreciate you, Brother. Very well and good, exceptional
"Hips are the key"..Twerk it using all your harnessed hip energy 😂😂😂TORQUE nahhh...TWERK OR TWEEK the hips whatever best works for you! This totally made my Tuesday..I absolutely adore this family and their sense of humor😂😂

Ty for the knowledge, love from triad
Please do more videos with your dad!!!
This was an epic video. South Carolina represent.
Next time I visit my family in Myrtle Beach I definitely need to pop up to Pitch Black and work the hips..
Much love from the UK Stephen!
Love this crew
Nice one Stephen! I like this counter.
Always the best advice. But let's talk about your next fight. I want u to have ufc gold by next year this time .. atleast
Thank you for these videos, Wonderboy! Love it when Mr. Thompson drops those #knowledge #bombs! Cheers and love from Canada!
Good lesson man..definitely have to go over this in tech sessions.
This is a great counter combination!
In the short time I've known you, you have become my favorite MMA fighter. Keep up the good work 😁
Awesome techniques, awesome dad/coach
Good stuff!!!
Love it. Being a boxing loyalist I was always for horizontal fist with the hook. Papa T makes good points. I'll try out vertical a bit on the bag.
Horizontal fist for medium distance, vertical fist for close range. That's what I always did for years and I never damaged my hands.
thank you. good stuff, I approve of vertical hook.
Ur great fighter Man U just learned me a thin or 2 great fighter u are a legend
An awesome Technique Tuesday. Escaping on an angle is very important.
Great video as always :)
Great dad produced great son. Im so happy for you guys. Subbed
Awesome. Thxs!
I love how u present the information where you don’t come across as an arrogant i know everything but like if u are learning with the lesson as well, like when ur dad says u can elbow your like that’s right MMA or how u ask now am I keeping the hook tight , I think the information presents better when you throw those lead in questions even though u know the answer
K I S S! Love it.
Mr. Thompson Sr. is a treasure!
Thanks Stephen Thompson
Thanks coach
Great video.
What a beautiful move
Much love from London Ontario
Beautiful.
I wish I lived in S.C. I’d definitely be a student at Upstate Karate. If I learn this much from CZcams, I know I’d learn a lot in person.
Love these videos always highlight of my day. btw can you make a video with combo's for southpaw's
I’d love to see a part 2 just breaking down that slick angle change
I’m an oldie now, but I use to fire a hook counter off the same arm that covered. Always caught them out.
your dad seems like a fighter like you man the old timers are the ones you can learn from
You the champ wonderboy
Perfect
Papa Wonderboy will mess you upppp lol. Awesome knowledge dropped here. 👍👊
How does one counter the lead hook? (as opposed to the rear hook shown in the video)
I find this counter is difficult for a lead check hook because there's less time to see it coming and get inside/in range.
Love your work my man!
I like this one
100% works, used in my sparring yesterday
This dude's awesome
Always hyped to watch these videos
Btw 1st
Great video from Montgomery Alabama
Great move
Love how it’s eye view , plus I’m y’alls height so it felt like a hands on just from watching 👊🏼
The initial parry looks similar to the good ol' age empi elbow strike you learn in week one karate, and by itself can be pretty darn effective. Paul Felder cracked Alessandro Ricci at FN 105 with the elbow while intercepting a jab, shattering Ricci's nose and setting up the finishing sequence. Simple but devastating.
Stephens dad has to be a great guy. Raising a world champion who’s humble and nice must require so much character
Ayyyyy there's that saying from Mission Impossible,"Those who can't do, teach" and this boi out here doing both and killing it at both!!!
Lmao you think that originates from mission impossible? That's hilarious
deathboyinc bruh I said Mission Impossible cause that's like pretty popular and more chances of people recalling the quote lmaO chill
Combinacao dura!
Nasty comboage papa thompson
I enjoy watching Mr. Ridgehand. 🙂
Hell yeah!! I can tell that's a nasty combination
Hey wonderboy,can you make a video on timing your move drill and countering attack drill next videos?
Like father like son thanks wonder boy we need to see you doing for us and explain fighter technique and slow motion study for us let’s start with lyoto or Anderson Silva 🙏🏻
Y’all rock let’s goooooo!!
Marvellous both father and son!
Wonderboy I saw a video one video of Sensei Dwane from Bang Muay Thai talking about now extending your elbow in a punch. To save your joints, taking care of them in the long run. Also I have seen videos of Tyson when he punches he doesnt extend his arm at times.
Would love to hesr your input.
Thanks Stephen, might try this on my sister later
Totally can throw that elbow in there - wonder when you throw the hook, the elbow can follow the fist? ? Nice move.
@I offer u this 👏👏🤣 Ha ha how did you know I love El Cucuy (besides Chael of course)🤣
Hi, great, thanks
Would be a dream if the thompson family could do a seminar in Adelaide, South Australia :D would be there 100%
