http://www.myboxingcoach.com - As a boxing trainer I coach 3 basic types of boxing hook. In this 90 second boxing tips video I am going to talk you through some very simple rules when it comes to using the 3 types of boxing hook. The simple rules that I provide here will enable you to maximise your power and importantly prevent you from 'slapping', which eagle-eyed boxing referees are always on the look out for. The 3 types of boxing hook that I teach involve one being thrown for each range, noting that when 'in range' we can either be at close range, mid range or long range. So the hooks are the short range hook, the mid-range hook and the long range hook. The Key Lessons of Boxing Hooks The short range left hook (or short range right hook) is thrown with the forearm at an angle. This angle be just below horizontal all the way down to just off the vertical (if the forearm is vertical when the shot lands then what you have is an uppercut). The mid range left hook (or mid range right hook) is selected when the target, the head of the opponent, is at least the same distance away as the length of your extended upper arm. The mid range hook may gradually change into the long range hook. For both the mid range hooks and the long range hooks, the forearm is parallel to the ground when the shot lands. Unless the shot lands clearly with the knuckle part of the glove impacting the target then the referee is entirely within their rights to issue a warning for incorrect punching. These are fairly simple rules and rules that in my opinion will add variation, power and precision to your ability to deliver the best possible boxing hooks. I've a feeling that people may have some comments or questions on this one, so let me have them below!!! Cheers Fran
