The hook Punch is a deceptive punch. When
preceded with feints. The hook punch comes
from the side outside the range of vision. And it
is executed by sneaking around the opponent’s
guard. The hook is best used when your
opponent is coming to you. The hook acts as a
quick counter attack. The hook is a short snappy
punch with enough power that can put to it
without pulling the arm far back. See Picture
39.b for the rear hook punch mechanics.

Your striking knuckles should be pointing in exactly
the same direction that your body-weight is moving,
for you to have your weight behind the punch and
will have frozen solidity along the power line when
you attempt to explode the punch.
