Muay Thai Hook Punch vs Boxing Hook Punch

[@jasononeil3816]

Fantastic demonstration into the hook variations and foot placements for effective delivery.❤😊

[@skyhookschool]

Thank you! Very much appreciated 💪

WHY IS THIS NOT GETTING MORE VIEWS?! THIS LITERALLY ANSWERS 99.99% OF QUESTIONS ON MUAY THAI PUNCHES!

[@skyhookschool]

Yesss that’s what we like to hear! These were literally all of the questions I used to ask, and I’ve spent so much of my life researching this stuff to only get part of the story 😂 so glad my experience is paying off. I hope to solve more problems like this! You ever have questions, I’m your guy Hopefully it does blow up, we’ll see 💪 in the meantime anything you do (likes/shares/even this comment) will help it spread to more eyes, so thank you 🙏

That "tall hook" thrown around 45 degrees angle was exactly what I was taught with back in 2012 in Kaewsamrit gym when Anuwat and Bovi were there, but with really bad English. Please kee up!

[@skyhookschool]

@@Sj0414ah, very cool glad you have had similar training experiences. I loveee training in Thailand, but they’re not (in my experience) big on explaining in detail. Sometimes you’ve gotta nerd out a bit an focus on/communicate those little things you know? The little “why”s are what always help me to remember

[@socialist-strong]

In my Muay Thai training the left hook is often a “get their guard nice and high” set-up for a big body kick. It’s not a meaningless shot, but it serves a greater purpose than itself and isn’t intended to do big damage

[@skyhookschool]

Not a bad way to do it! Bas Rutten had a lot of success with what you’re talking about, left hook distraction with a heavy liver kick underneath. Love it. I’ve also got a fighter buddy that is good at doubling up (head/body) to open up the liver punch, or will even go body/head to get that guard high and will sneak in a close-range spinning back kick to the liver. Anything that sets up a heavy body shot, I’m a fan 💪

How is this video not popular?!?!?!?

I completely agree on how this channel deserves more audience. I usually watch Gabriel Varga's content everyday but I stumbled upon yours today, and I legit thought this content right here is as good as his. I guess you can make the video pacing a little bit faster in editing to cut the gaps between talking (with all due respect, purely my opinion only from watching various youtube contents and being a video editor myself), but the materials you bring are absolute top notch! Learnt a lot from 1 video, subscribed instantly, keep it up Coach!

[@skyhookschool]

Awesome, thank you so much 🙏 huge compliments there. I love Gabriel Varga’s channel too, he really knows his stuff. To be compared to him is quite flattering Also, I appreciate the tips. I’m attempting to get a little better with each video so feedback like this is what I need to grow 💪 if you ever have any ideas for content, questions, etc. please let me know and I’ll be happy to help!

[@ISinForALiving]

Comprehensive take on a punch that leaves so many (myself included) confused. Great content!!

[@skyhookschool]

Awesome, I’m glad it was helpful! If you have anything else that needs to be covered, please ask 🙏

[@botanozsan7843]

Best explanation so far I have seen on KZbin. This video needs many more views. I appreciate!

[@skyhookschool]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. Hopefully the word will spread someday. KZbin success is tricky to say the least

[@dresdenwinterknight9553]

dude, this video was awesome !! I train muay thai and i've started getting boxing lessons but I was so confused, and my instructors keep "correcting" me when i bring a technique from one class to the other lol now everything is much clearer

[@skyhookschool]

Happy I could help! I know the pain. It seems like everywhere I’ve trained, they teach different stuff and expect you to do it their way. It’s good on one hand, because it shows you new methods that often become new favorites…but at the same time it gets old lol. Despite what some may tell you, there are rarely “incorrect/correct” techniques…it’s all circumstantial. Try and look for the universal concepts (i.e. remain defensively sound, maintain balance, throw the mind elsewhere, etc.)

[@rogue1290]

Great clinic. Thank you.

[@damieongrey5377]

this is actually really insightful. especially when you mention to turn the hip more and the lead leg less to deliver a powerful hook and still be safe/ defend leg kicks

[@skyhookschool]

Ayyy love it. Glad it was helpful to you! This is my favorite kind of stuff to nerd-out on haha

[@damieongrey5377]

@@skyhookschool do you have a video on clinch work?

[@skyhookschool]

​​⁠hm I’ve got an old one somewhere, but I’ve learned a lot more about clinch since then so I should probably make a new one. You looking for pure MT clinch? MMA clinch? Having any specific problems with clinch?

Error amigo. En boxeo usamos también la rotación interna. En dónde el pie no se dobla. Enseño muay Thai. Boxeo y Bujutsu. No siempre se hace el pivot.

[@skyhookschool]

I understand, I often throw my hooks with internal rotation being the focus as well. This video’s simply highlighting the versions that are most commonly taught in each style

if you want shoulders problem you can choose muay thai hook

[@skyhookschool]

Care to elaborate?

[@user-eb2kv7bg4t]

A good muay thai coach would never teach you to throw the left hook while standing on tiptoe with both feet, balance in muay thai is the most important thing. the muay thai hook and the boxing hook are different but your " muay thai hook " is not a real muay thai hook. for example some real differences between the boxing and thai hook are 1-boxers like to exaggerate the pivot of the front foot, while Thais prefer it to be more subtle, so they don't end up in a position where they can't come back quickly to block a kick, 2- in muay thai we prefer to plant the front foot and use rear foot pivot for the hook or step with the hook, stepping and punching is super important in muay thai. 3, the hand position. In muay thai we prefer palm down or even out and in boxing they prefer thumb up.

[@skyhookschool]
