The designation hook comes from the meaning of a fishing hook in English. As its name says, the form of this punch, making an acute angle from the shoulder to the tip of the hand, is hook-shaped.
The left shooting short hook (short hook) is outstanding in power because it hits the opponent at a short angle with the left hand that is the closest to him. By contrast it is more difficult to effectively hit with the right shooting long hook (long hook) because of the long orbit of its punch.
Here I will explain, along with the shooting straight, by focusing on the shooting short hook that is one of the basic punches.
2) Shooting long hook:
In order to accurately land the shooting long hook, the orbit of whose punch is long, necessitates an advanced level of technique. This book focuses on the basics so I will explain, for beginners, as a substitute the right straight and swing hook.

Training method for the shooting short hook:
At first hold the ball with you right hand under your arm and practice lightly swapping it whilt taking care not to make this into a telephone punch.
When you can do this smoothly, practice entering your hips and shoulder without using the ball.

Point: “When throwing a hook punch with a step, don’t let the neck (head) to move by being pulled by the shoulder’s movement. The neck tends to move to the right when hitting the left hook or to the left when hitting the right hook. Always draw in your chin and make sure your face is facing the opponent’s front.”

Shooting Swing Hook:
tigermask192828×399 63.3 KB
Pattern in real fights:
From a close distance slide with a big step to the left and at the same time your right hand should start the movement of the shooting swing hook. In photo 4 you can see the balance between the sliding and the right punch.
To hit the opponent with a shooting swing hook effectively in a real fight, it’s necessary to pay attention to 2 points: 1) how to enter a position where you can easily hit him; and 2) how to move in a way that cannot be predicted or anticipated by the opponent. For this, it’s effective to employ the sliding step characteristic of shooting and strike while deflecting the opponent’s counter.

Shooting Swing Hook:
- Posture in the low-center-of-gravity upright style.
- Slide to the left with footwork. Swing the right hand that was in guard, making a big circle, to the back while scraping your flank.
- While moving your body in a large motion to the left, quickly hit the opponent by swinging from the diagonal back.
