The WRONG Way to Throw the “Check Hook”
ฝัง

- I learned about the “Check Hook” a long time ago, but I missed the most crucial step: the proper #footwork. It wasn’t until Coach Thom Whillock of Norwegian Combat Academy showed me the proper way to throw this lead hook variation, that I understood the importance of stepping off center-line. This video will breakdown how to throw the punch, when to use it while fighting backwards, and how #boxing’s greats used it with much success... and also took advantage of their opponents’ improper technique.

2:05 The POV method you use here to demonstrate your point might be the clearest instructional tool I've ever seen on MA TH-cam. That was cool.
That's exactly what they teach us in Russia. Trainers also give a tip to think about this side movement as about a drop rather than a step. Helps to get right feeling and improve speed
And that the punch should land at the same time as you finish your step, and dont exaggarate the movement or youre gonna be left off-balance.

This is exactly what my coach and Tom Yankello teach on throwing the check hook. Joe Louis also throw his check hook this way. Golden knowledge here ladies and gents.
I was watching this trying to remember how Tom Yankello taught the check hook.
Yeah, that's the Cuban/Soviet style of check hook. I've been throwing it without the step for years until my trainer told me to do it that way. since then I get caught a lot less with the step than without it in sparring. Good video!
It's taken a long time for people to realise this has been taught wrong!
Well done Shane.
Lol when Shane talks about the bonus at 4:15 all I can think of is coach Anthony
I can see that being turned into a modern kata, linking a few of those gems together. This video is instantly one of my favourites to date. Thank you
I was working on this earlier and was having some trouble. This video was actually very helpful. Thank you sir
The little animations are so fun! I love the advice!! I’m taking my first kickboxing class today! I’m mainly a grappler so this should be fun
I’m gonna have to practice this again, thanks for the video 👊🏾
This dude NEVER ages!!! 😂
☺️
Great to see you back 👊
Definitely one of my favourite punches
If you fight with very aggressive opponent this is a must. I also love to make step in with a jab to provoke the opponent, then quickly step back with a cross and then get out with this pivot check hook. Effective and also very fun to do
This is the way to do it. Set up the check hook first and you might not need that extra step.
@5:48 Getting off the center-line is one of the basics in Aikido. A small step for a man a giant leap for the enemy. Thanks for your vids !
Great coaching! Good stuff!
Great video! Thank you for breaking this down.
Yes! Exactly what I was looking for
Excellent video!!
Fights tips is single handled the reason why I’ve had such improvements in all my technical skills
I needed this advise I’ve always been afraid to throw that when a cross is coming my way, feel like I would get caught
Just spar more man! Practice your moves slow at first and get your form perfect. Once you practice enough everything is really a lot of muscle memory. Practice the moves you wanna do in the ring before you try them with someone else. It’s all about getting your form perfected.
your examples and tutorials are next frickin level angles as well gawddamn
Great demo! Check hook is an amazing tool
had you added those short clips of the fight references/examples, would have made this video perfect 👍
Glad you liked it 😄👍 I'm always careful with copyright infringement, but I'll add links to the description!
What a great video! full of knowledge!
This was a Certified "HOOD" Classic
U mean hook classic
@@kalpanakain2063 improved his comment instantly well done😂
You are one of my best coach 🔥❤️❤️...im learning alot from you... greatest fan!!!!!!!!!!
Neat stuff bro. Awesome tips.
Love the content
Great vid man
You and Bob got a vibe goin
Loving that little animation.
I should point out that it's ok not to take a step out with the check hook. Keep in mind that many fighters still check hook without the step. It's not nescessarily wrong to do. Whittaker was doing it a lot against gastelum. You can see it used a lot from elite boxers like mayweather. The reality is that you can hit using both pivot styles. Aldo uses a step with his pivot and ive seen him get hit with it. Likewise ive seen people get hit using the check hook without the pivot. This is a movement that requires good timing and precision.
The step helps open up your pivot angle wider but if you dont step, the pivot angle is not as wide. Never the less, you still move the head away using either method. The big difference is that taking a step out is one more sequence you have to do, meaning it gonna be harder to time since you have to do the step. Without the step, you can just fire right away with better timing. Theres pros and cons to both ways. Neither is invalid and both have their downsides.
I wouldnt quite say either is wrong to do. It's a rahter rigid way of looking at things. It's more useful to provide insight to different ways instead. My word of advice to people here is not to tell someone at the gym that theyre check hooking incorrectly. Just understand that different methods exist.
Borschev just scored an excellent hook KO to your point just moments ago on the Contender Series. Faded back by stepping his rear leg back and evaded his opponent's jab (from southpaw), then countered with the hook and exited by pivoting.
Love this channel ❤️
Nice tips Shane 👍
Nice .. pretty informative 👍🏽🙏
thank you for teaching me to throw hands Sensei Shane!
I was do bad at this. Thanks for tips!!!
I learned it the second way but, I'm definitely going to add your way into my training. It seems like a good counter when your opponent is aggressively moving forward while punching.
Shane coming in clutch with another banger
Luv u brooo...
Nyc tips...
He’s back!
Very helpful video.
Shane knows what’s up excellent content
شكرا لك أخي كلما شاهدتك تعلمت و إستفدت أكثر
وفقك الله
Thank you
Nice power!
Fun to see Coach Whillock show up in your videos, just because the Norwegian Combat Academy is local to me :-) (I don't train with him, though. Been to an intro class once, but I don't really have time to join up there in addition to what I'm already doing)
thank you
Love the transition to southpaw, big fan of the smooth stance shift.
Bro please show us the difference between the basical movements and shadow movements... Big fan of yours
That transition to southpaw is genius
The step before the actual hook also is a wonderful setup for a cross or hook to the body/ liver....for all of my south paws and switch hitters out there
Thanks
more boxing drills pls
What are the odds that the check hook was literally the lesson I was planning to teach my nephews this week
Love it!
I use to avoid the straight hand with that left feet step never thought of using that step with my check hook that little move movement is good if your opponent is faster than you, you can get away with a lot of things if you have fast hands
That step out and hook reminds me of Tyson
Always the best, could you show us how to do the dempsey roll?
So I went to watch the may weather video you said and I skipped ahead EXACTLY to the point when he threw the hook 😂😂
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!
I have those EXACT brooks he has on they are so comfy I work out in those all the time, the ankle support is just nonexistent because they're running shoes
That heavy bag behind you is a handy marker
This can be used on yhe retreat also, seen it called the Soviet hook on McLeod Scott boxing channel. The dropstep is great for evading out the corners too in my limited experience. Greetings from Jamaica Shane,miss the dreads!
2 recent examples: Leon edwards getting caught by Diaz in round 5 and Masvidal getting KO’d by Usman
True, this is what happens when you grow too comfortable with throwing one technique over and over again
Also Tavares caught by shabazyan
Great Video Shane, Thanks !!!...Id like to hear more from Bob, if ya could get him to come outta his shell ;-)...God Bless You and Yours always !!!
Wow this is great for open stance/southpaw vs orthodox
i needed this, this is really useful in kickboxing but i always do it wrong and get hit with a cross
thanks shane
Always get caught when doing this incorrectly but know it's corrected
Nice
Looks like what happened to Masividal against Usman in their second fight. Jorge wanted that check hook but got caught by Usman's straight right and got KO'ed. Awesome video man! thank you!
Hey Shane, great video! This was always one of the techniques that intrigued me the most! Would you advise this same way in muay thai or other rulesets with low kicks? Most of the time, I've this russian/cuban step in boxing and the way I see it in muay that is a step 45 towards the left but less pivot on the front knee, so that the outer thigh isn't as exposed
Hey shane, will you please make a video on how to fill your heavy bag with sawdust, sand or whatever. This would be a pure underdog stuff.
Youre a god
Love that thumbnail lmao
Amazing video! Thank you! I have a question, always when we read check hook, check kick, check ... Is It about defense or safety?
Could you also check hook to the body?
the first time i heard about the check hook is the one with just the turn and no sidestep... those days im still puzzled as to how that kind of hook will make me not get punched while doing it... now im more practicing the europe/russian check hook, it makes me feel safe by stepping out of line of fire while doing the hook...
I'm just here for Bob now
Left leg side step is basics of old Soviet school
Yeah thats how the check hook is taught at my gym in Finland
Love the comedy
Shane, question. Can you use this to get into a combo as well?
🖤
🔥
Shane should become a professional boxer with all this amazing boxing knowledge 🤔
Often times when sparring very aggressive guys, I find myself in an endless circle throwing check hook after check hook. What are some other ways I can deal with guys who just keep coming forward? (MMA)
You can try letting them run into take downs, or clinch and circle back into the middle of the cage. If you prefer striking you can keep them off with leg kicks and teeps 🤷♂️ but in my experience getting good with feints and fakes make a ton of difference with aggressive people
As he said
Work them sweeps.
Post on head and sweep their front leg
Can you please suggest a proper diet a fighter should maintain?
I always injure my shin and it's really hard to recover the bones, even by eating calcium tablet
Great intel!!! This even covers you against southpaws.
I cant count the number of times ive punished orthodox fighters trying to check hook me.
Id love to hear your thoughts on the Russian check hook as well.
Beautiful thumbnail
Try throwing the right hook as you shift into southpaw off the left check hook.
Can you teach me in your next video how to do dirty techniques in boxing
Dude, you have one of the best channels out there. Glad to see youre still crushing it. Thanks for all the good info.
where to buy Bob? He looks exactly like my boss
This looks workable using some may thai techniques workable
Is this the same as a pivot hook? What’s the difference?
The check hook is just a pivot with the hook, modifications can be made on the front foot depending on the situation
