Just started boxing. I find the hook so far to be the most awkward punch. Then again, my body is pretty stiff that the trainer would always tell me to twist my body more Great video!
Thanks, bro, and good luck with your training. You can pivot with your punches at the beginning to get used to twisting with your hips. Hope this helps.
The best advice I can give as someone that also used to struggle with hooks is to ignore your arms for a bit. Keep your arms at your side and go through the motions of pivoting, turning your hips, and your shifting weight to your rear leg as you rotate. You will look ridiculous doing this. But I promise it helps with getting full rotation. That'll make your hooks powerful. The punch itself is the bullet. Your body is the gun. I hope that makes sense.
Cuban and Russian boxing trainers teach their fighters to throw lead hooks by pivoting off of their rear leg. It keeps you on balance if you miss and you can throw a cross much faster afterwards. You sacrifice a little power (not much) but you have better balance, weight shifting, and a faster follow-up. It's not wrong. It's just different.
@@TitoMcFaddenbut that leaves you at a far greater disadvantage if thd person parries that punch or dodges. That punch is dangerous for the person throwing it and doesn’t seem to have any real benefit. The speed won’t be there as it’s coming from your strong hand and then you losing power. I’ve never been trained to throw it just my observation.

Thanks bro 🙏
The strong hand hook is not a real punch… shifting body weight on your back foot is not ideal
Thanks
