this collaboration was something that we needed from both counter parts .. truly both men with dangerous weapons and techniques yet these are men with patience ,, kindness ,, and respect !
Wow this wild, I find that very interesting that a boxer with good movement is something that you’d find hard to deal with, maybe if they have a base knowledge in karate or takewondo, but very interesting and awesome vid
Sat through the 40 mins no problem, Wonderboys knowledge is incredible and especially his willingness to share.. got a whole new level of respect for this guy. Great questions too my man, I think he enjoyed it as much as you
This took a lot of work and time to put together so if you guys would be so kind to like the video for the good old algorithm, that would be awesome! Hanging out with Stephen was such a pleasure and I hope that was evident from the video. There will be many more like this in the future. Thank you boys!
Bro this is awesome, to see his explanation of his first ufc fight and the core strength it takes to throw half hook and then the head kick with the same side is crazy. The creativity. What an experience always good to see you learning on the mats, and with the WonderBoy at that.
Good on you for putting in enougn work to get this oppurtunity, and Wonder boy is such a humble and amazing person to give people his time for their content and goals.
I'm only 10 minutes in, and I'm already enamored by WB's breakdown of his style. What he's saying makes perfect sense, and even after watching for years, I didn't understand why he did certain things. Incredibly high-level questions by MM as well. Great video!
Stephen admitting that he wanted to quit against Woodley is actually crazy to me.Takes alot of self respect and being humble to admit that kind of thing
This was legit one of the best videos I've seen in regards to a ufc fighter breaking down their techniques and the nuances of their style. You asked some really good questions as well, helped us learn more about Wonderboy's mindset and psychology around the game. The enthusiasm you have for sport is infectious, and it was fun watching you try out what he was showing you. Good job Martial. Been watching you for a while, since the ufc 2 days, I haven't been tuning in as much lately since I grew quite tired of EA's ufc, but this content is gold. I know opportunities like this don't exactly fall out of the sky, but I'd love to see more content like this, you're really good at it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch brother! I really really appreciate it. I’m going to do my best to connect with more fighters and God willing, I’ll be able to produce this content at least once a month. Thanks again man.
The Mind in Martial is not for nothin, he picked up the sidekick almost in an instant AND came prepared to talk with one of the most gifted strikers. The little nuances Wonderboy explained does get ignored often and even had me like "Ohhhhh... see that's smart!". Wonderboy is just a cool dude. The snap of his kicks is crazy.... or that stab with the toes sound sharp. Free lessons and a great chat plus the hospitality by Wonderboy is such an experience man. Great, great video.
The subtle dojo music in the background is so befitting of Wonderboy’s style/this video. Wonderful content and i love his recall on past fights/techniques
This video is like a dream crossover episode between two of the most humble, awesome people in these shared communities. Also this video is so well produced. Thank you Henry!🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the most interesting Wonder Boy interview that I’ve ever seen. Great conversation, great questions, great insight into the mind of the fighter and their techniques. I can tell that Wonder Boy genuinely enjoyed the engagement as well. Salute brother!
Told my girlfriend to literally watch this video and like it and watch the ads fully threw you truly deserve more love for this content and I would love to see more of this man I love your videos martial and I wish your videos got more views man it makes me sad honestly you really deserve so much more and your literally a father on top of that ! Much love from Texas man thanks for making my days better .
This 40 min video felt like it was 10. This was so entertaining and I cannot thank you enough for the work you put in to make this video happen. Cheers mate
A lot of fighters won’t show you their creative process when it comes to their style and technique but Wonderboy is an open book because he knows no matter how much you study him it’s not enough 😂 I’m watching this with the biggest smile, he’s such a genuinely nice guy and a brilliant teacher. This is such a brilliant video Henry, would love for you to take a trip to the UK to train with MVP over in Shootfighters!
This was awesome man. I still remember a few years back Wonderboy commenting on one of your vids where you featured his as the fighter. He's not only a fantastic martial artist, but he seems like such a genuinely nice human being. It's cool that he spends so much of his free time giving back to the karate and teaching local kids the martial art as well. He is one of the best representatives we have for mixed martial arts as a whole, he's a legend!
Hey bro, been watching your channel since I got into UFC 4 a while ago. I got UFC 5 on launch and stopped playing not long after, but still watch your content occasionally. I can honestly say that this is my favourite video of yours. I LOVE when you discuss the subtle techniques, styles, and overall art aspect of fighting with fighters. That’s what draws me and a lot of other fans to MMA. If this became your primary content, I would watch every single video. Please do more of these with every fighter you can.
i hope this becomes a series of you learning different martial arts & linking up with different mma fighters every now and then. i could watch infinite episodes 😂
Wow! Incredible segment. The layering of Wonderboy's strategic thinking while in combat is so impressive and fascinating, and his explanations are so articulate. Perfect guy to do this kind of segment with, and his charisma is effortless, too. For your part Martial, bravo. This is without a doubt my favorite MMA interview ever. Nobody ever goes into this kind of depth on the nuts and bolts of the actual combat and the thinking behind it. This is a niche nobody has cornered and it's GOLD content. Please make more!
Honestly I’ve never done any sort of mixed martial arts ever but watching this was unbelievable in terms of knowledge and how skilled strikers really are. Talking through a sidekick I really felt like I was learning so much more😂. Fantastic and informative video man!
Dude, the work you're putting into your channel is amazing, constantly putting the extra effort in, trying new things, expanding your knowledge and sharing it all with your viewers, it's incredible. That said, what an awesome day for you! Learning from a legend like Wonderboy! There's so many little details that fighters do / think that you really don't see in a fight, love this.
Salute to The Brother Stephan Wonderboy Thomson for making TIME for Our Brother Martial Mind. This IS a big deal. Comprehensive and informative work as usual Martial Mind, 👊🏾🦁🦁🇳🇬🇺🇸
Interesting Thompson talking about being scared of Hendrix pushed him to another level of work ethic goes to show you fear can have pros and cons. You can either let fear defeat you or it can drive you to success!
i actually really love this style of video, it’s like a long interview/podcast on fighter mindset and technique that really makes you relate to the athlete, with some practical technique work in, i think if you do a few more of these martial, you will really iron out the details and it will be something special i truly believe!
Henry after watching you for the last 3 years streaming UFC games and uploading your Martial Arts Learning Journey knowing how much you are a fan of the sport I am super excited that you got to do this my brother and shout out to Stephen Wonderboy Thompson for letting Henry in his doors. This is awesome
HOLY SHIT this was great!!! All the way from him talking about distance management to the little side kick personal training 🔥 helped a lot and I was zoned in the entire video ❤️🙏
Excellent stuff; it’s great when creators who have actual knowledge of the sport(s); get to speak with some of the greats. Hopefully you are able to do more of these in the future. Great video!
I love this. Wonderboy will forvever be one of the greats, not just for what he did in the octagon but for how genuine of a person he is and how willing he is to spread the knowledge of martial arts.
Bro it’s insane to see you come up in the world. I remember this channel when it has 50k subs and you were beating up trash talkers on ufc 2 😅 it’s amazing to see how far you have come bro
Man very few minds out there with this type of knowledge when it comes to the striking game been training boxing for a pretty long time but wonderboy is one of the few that made me really wanna indulge in kickboxing that front kick is different 😂💯
Fascinating that Wonderboy said he feels it's safe to attack when he advances and the opponent doesn't retreat. Corey Sandhagen emphasizes the opposite: if he advances (with jabs) and the opponent doesn't retreat, Corey bails. He prefers to attack when the opponent is retreating and isn't planted to strike back. In Wonderboy's lesson, it seems the focus is on the opponent staying, remaining in range for his attack, so that he doesn't miss. Both concepts are awesome and highlight subtleties of footwork.
This was incredible. We appreciate the time and effort you put into this for us Martial. The way that Wonderboy uses even just his lead leg combined with movement is like a swiss army knife. He can do so much with even just one leg
This was absolutely incredible. Give yourself props as well, not everyone can balance letting their star guest do their thing while also asking engaging questions. Well done.
It’s crazy to me how many things fighters have to calculate and watch for and think about in fights, my mind would be so busy I’d forget to start fighting lol
Yo Martial thanks for putting this out bro. I'm a big fan of Wonderboy, so this was fun to watch but also a fan of yours. Excited to see who you get on the channel next. Good stuff man
I haven’t been watching the ufc 5 vids lately bc I never got the game, but I couldn’t miss this one. Sweet video man, you and WB are two awesome dudes.
Wow, its incredible to see the Growth of this Channel. Very Happy for you Bro. Well Deserved. Wish you nothing but continued success and growth with this channel.
Martial! Amazing video man, love the direction you are taking your content, to get the opportunity to work with the world’s best in their respective fields will always be so interesting to see, keep up the good work!
been following you for awhile but as ufc 5 has become less of a go to for me, i havent been as active. This irl type of content is super dope and refreshing to see!
Excellent interview! Great questions and you gave Wonderboy plenty of room to answer them. Your genuine curiosity and knowledge of fighting really shows through also. Man this would be a great series, I imagine hard to pull off but would love to see you interview other fighters at different levels.
Another great video, bro. His speed and technique are on a whole Nother level. You can tell it’s almost like the camera. Can’t keep up with his fast movements. Keep up the great work bro have a good one and I’ll catch you on the next these style of videos, good stuff
This was an absolute treat to watch, incredible video with so much to digest. Thanks to wonderboys vast knowledge and your intelligent questioning, thank you Martial and thank You Wonderboy!
I love that you being in Charleston have the ability to drive down to simpsonville😭 I met Stephen at Haywood mall while living in Greenville, he’s just your regular everyday ninja
Was a pleasure to have you in town my friend!! You're Welcome anytime. Great Vid!!!
Thank you sir!

i watched the video and was like, that was 40 min? we need more! fire video!

dude changed his bone structure from pivoting so much to beat someone’s ass lmao
do my eyes deceive me
They do not!
Yes. You have been genjutsud. Mangekyo sharingan for infinity
@@MartialMind congrats bro. Naija dey go far!
@@MartialMindW as always
WB actually does CZcams as well so it's not that much of a stretch.
Love the fact he recognized Rory MacDonald for his all around skill. Two of my favourite fighters all time for sure.
Rory so underrated/underappreciated
The Mind in Martial is not for nothin, he picked up the sidekick almost in an instant AND came prepared to talk with one of the most gifted strikers. The little nuances Wonderboy explained does get ignored often and even had me like "Ohhhhh... see that's smart!".

Holy crap, wonderboy is FAST! Been looking forward to this for ages, absolutely loved it. Great stuff my guy 💪🏻

You’re a real one brother. Thank you so much for your continued support.

what a great teacher he is. no pretend, not full of himself at all. I see a good teacher when I see him. This is a hell of a teacher. IMPRESSED.

OH MY GOD I wasn’t expecting this. My all time favorite UFC fighter/youtuber and my favorite UFC player/youtuber collaborating! ⭐️🌟✨🌟⭐️
Man two legends just talking about fighting. W content
I swear, WB is a real life anime main character. Much respect.
HOLY SHIT this was great!!! All the way from him talking about distance management to the little side kick personal training 🔥 helped a lot and I was zoned in the entire video ❤️🙏
wow man watching 5 years ago and thinking you would be making a video with wonderboy and training with him is amazing martial, so proud of you brother
Maaan Wonderboy is great.
He even has the pose of a master while explaining things.
What a guy… Wonderboy is a great dude… Rarely do you see a guy that can be such a savage yet super respectful and humble
I could listen to Wonderboy talk about this stuff forever. Super cool that you got to meet up with him
Proud of you Martial, it's awesome to see you picking the minds of one of the greatest fighters to do it.
Great video Martial !
It’s been 20 seconds brother 😭
Bru watched a 40 minute video in 6 minutes ig😭
@@ROO_17 😂😂
Thank you!
Excellent stuff; it’s great when creators who have actual knowledge of the sport(s); get to speak with some of the greats.
Hopefully you are able to do more of these in the future. Great video!
I am so happy u did this Marshall u inspired me to keep going with my ufc career 💯keep the videos up
You can do tons of content like this and I’d be here for it. I didn’t just sub for your UFC stuff, I subbed for your personality in general
I love this. Wonderboy will forvever be one of the greats, not just for what he did in the octagon but for how genuine of a person he is and how willing he is to spread the knowledge of martial arts.
Bro it’s insane to see you come up in the world. I remember this channel when it has 50k subs and you were beating up trash talkers on ufc 2 😅 it’s amazing to see how far you have come bro
Wow Martial that was great! happy to see you get to this stage...from video games to this type of content.
Stephen was dropping ELITE knowledge and you delivered 💯‼️🙏
Wonderboy collab 🔥 that’s dope!
This is your signal to start training MMA. I used to base my life around UFC 3 and now I´m on cloud 9 training everyday.
What you do is amazing and i wish your channel had more exposure because I love that your doing content like this
Man very few minds out there with this type of knowledge when it comes to the striking game been training boxing for a pretty long time but wonderboy is one of the few that made me really wanna indulge in kickboxing that front kick is different 😂💯
Thank you for this brother, new tools I can practice myself and try to use in sparring, more of this content pls
Getting this information from Wonderboy is genuinely priceless.
Wow, that was fantastic can't wait for more videos with Wonderboy in the future. I didn't even realize it was 40 minutes long, time just flew by.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO I WATCHED IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I never lost interest at any point. Great work Martial🙏💯
The questions were gold, the way you studied his style to know what to ask him was spot on. Amazing video 💯💯
Awesome man! Very cool video and what a sweet opportunity!

Dude you have come such a long way. Just amazing
Yesss this is what I've been waiting on. Training with my fellow south Carolina resident
so proud of you man. only direction is up!!!
Been waiting for this video to come out ever since you mentioned it. Doing a showcase of the NMF in real life you came a long way Martial
Love how is sister is named as one of the elite fighters he had to overcome. Love it!
This is the coolest youtube thing you’ve ever done congrats man! Wonderrrrrrboyyyyy
This was incredible! Great video man shoutout Wonderboy
This is outstanding Martial. More like these please 🔥🔥
The sheer speed and control on this side kick absolutely amazes me. Watched it at least 5 times 😅
This was incredible. We appreciate the time and effort you put into this for us Martial. The way that Wonderboy uses even just his lead leg combined with movement is like a swiss army knife. He can do so much with even just one leg
such a great video! been waiting on more WB instructional content!
This was absolutely incredible. Give yourself props as well, not everyone can balance letting their star guest do their thing while also asking engaging questions. Well done.
So cool how passionate of a teacher he is even just for a little unserious lesson
It’s crazy to me how many things fighters have to calculate and watch for and think about in fights, my mind would be so busy I’d forget to start fighting lol
The fact that he brung up Baki is fucking amazing. The visualization is spot on.
Epic moment right here
Yo Martial thanks for putting this out bro. I'm a big fan of Wonderboy, so this was fun to watch but also a fan of yours. Excited to see who you get on the channel next. Good stuff man
Wonderbra is such a gem of a human being loved him his entire career. Legend❤
