1.Throw close range
2.Keep both hands by chin
3.Throw with entire body
4.Keep the hook arm bent through entire R.O.M
5.Throw from a squared stance, avoid over rotating

Great videos, Shane. I don't belong to a gym or anything; just boxing for fitness. Your videos are a huge help. I like how you break the biomechanics down and make it easy for beginners like me to practice proper form.

I know this was 5 years ago but I’m glad you mentioned the turning of the foot when you come in for that left hook. You can generate the same amount of power without turning the foot, as long as you turn your hips. Great advise 👍

[shocktrapproductions]

I like these tips. I haven't done Muay Thai for that long and practicing these tips makes me feel like an expert.

Keep it up, Shane.

I sprained my wrist on a hook in training a few weeks back - thanks for the breakdown!

Making the adjustments presently :D

Great video! It helped me to better understand things I do automatically and take for granted so that I can better communicate those to my students, and I picked up a couple details on the ranged hook that I hadn't thought about before. Thanks!

Plot twist: Shane was just lip synthing and his dog was giving us tips

[raulcavalcanti]

SHANE! I cannot pay attention! That dog is too cute!

[JohnJDNB]

Glad you left the bit with the dog in there. Shane OG as hell!

[anonymous_pro]

Yo Shane I have a suggestion for your next vid: could u make a vid where you show us how to block/dodge/avoid body shots?

[drshiteaim]

Thankyou so much, very useful, my hooks were always feeling awkward and slow in comparison to my straight shots, but I instantly improved my hooks using this video

[amartyapandit]

The turning hand when hook punching from too far away actually came to me instinctively it wasn't until I watched this video is when I realised it! Your body really adapts when it knows how it wants to hit

#5 the Mike Tyson punch (the video game) from a hook instead of uppercut lol. Great video as always man.
