2. Hook Punch - A "hook" is a whirl-powered
blow that is delivered while the elbow is
sharply bent .And the blow travels in a
circular direction. You must point your
striking knuckles in the same direction that
your weight is whirling See Picture 39.a below
for your reference. You achieve a pure punch.
And the more sharply the elbow is bent, the
tighter and more explosive is the hook. When
you explode a hook against an opponent's
jaw, you can feel your good old power line
running just as solidly from shoulder through
fist as when the line was straight out in a
falling-step punch.
