Stop throwing your lead hook like a robot 🤖

[@hughghjapeenus7862]

I've been coaching and teaching for 30 years. The "robot" movement works as good fundamentals for most beginning uncoordinated students. I agree with the method you are teaching but some students are so uncoordinated that they need a robotic movement at first and over time they will feel how to be fluid.

[@damienbell1107]

Agreed. Beginners are typically awkward, and it takes teaching certain methods "robotically", as he would say, in order for it to translate. I tell people to learn the basics the fundamental way, then once comfortable apply style to technique.

it's honestly amazing how fluid you can get from messing around shadow boxing, i've seen massive improvements in my boxing from shadow boxing constantly in work and the house, you're right though it's always handy to have some base level to work from.

[@dbua4748]

When I started, I was extremely slow and clumsy. But after I started sparring with other ppl, I learned everything all over again, and naturally became more agile. Some ppl need to be put in situation where they need to be fluid and fast, to progress

[@dop01]

Start with basic mechanics then add variation when they don’t need to THINK about the basics. I disagree with putting you weight on your back foot unless you need punching room. You are already reaching. You need center balance with a twist or front foot weight if you want some pop. He is teaching a slap. Thats just an arm punch. If you don’t lock your arm at the point of contact, your shoulder and hip rotation are wasted energy. May as well just slap. Its faster and if you turn your fist it looks like a punch anyway. I think what he is talking about is Canelo holding guard during the start of his pivot. Most guys “Cock” their arm at the beginning of the movement telegraphing the hook. Canelo starts the rotation then brings his arm up. Ryan Garcia does this as well. It disguises the hook as just a shoulder roll.

[@fighttips]

Don't get confused by the comments -- do what works for you. Keep it simple: the hook is meant to land on the side of the jaw/temple, so whatever path and mechanics makes that work with the least chance of getting intercepted... do that!

[@Dan53196]

Depends on style. Tyson used the first kind of hook predominantly. But his stance is way different. The delivery system changes how you do things. If you’re in a different stance you throw the hook different. Also, it depends on your height and reach. No point teaching a longer range hook to fighter with no reach or a short compact hook to a fighter with longer reach. You have to fight to your body. There’s no cookie cutter approach. Only suggestions. You have to find your own way in to it.

[@Ggold916]

[@craigcombes]

Thank you! I 90 degree my left hook and pivot when fighters are on the inside

[@_N4VE_]

everything is situational. Mike always played the tight pocket game so his hooks were perfect for the distance. The further you are, the less 90 you should have eventually turning the fist horizontal when landing instead of vertical. Also, the front foot turn is situational as well. For me, in Muay Thai you can generate good power by fully rotating, but doing so makes you easy to kick in the leg. So you try not to fully turn the foot on hooks. If you’re just boxing tho, you can get away with the foot turn since you don’t have to worry about checking kicks

[@illygotbeats]

[@MetalizedButt]

Yeah but you’re not Mike. If you attempted his peekaboo style you’d get mauled.

[@MrBrasserie]

its almost like punching a person, whos gunna move vs punching a bag who isnt leads to throwing every punch different to make the connection.... yh doing what he say in both ways is great, but what if the guy is stepping in, moving out, stood still etc? gunna throw the same punch every time in every situation? but ive never trained at all so roast me if you want

[@LeoMyFriend]

I gotta send you some praise, man. Fighting is tough, but teaching to fight is HARD. Every video of yours has explained things so much easier than my past coaches have. Much appreciation for knowing how to break things down in digestible terms!

[@victorpagoulatos3184]

the reason u focus on body rotation or exagerate it in training is so when u fight in instinct u still have solid technique.

[@coachamber4410]

Thank you and it's taught that way because in the kindergarten stage you step with the jab bring your back foot with the cross and then follow it with the perfect 90 degree hook. (Which will be placed perfectly because of the prior steps. It's taught that way to not skimp on the fundamental. This is more of a check hook.

[@ngotemna8875]

Bad technique is bad. Overexxagerating the movements in training makes you overexxagerate the movements in a serious competition/fight.

[@csl9495]

​@@coachamber4410 a strict 90 degree angle creates a short range hook. Meaning it actually doesn't work if you're "strictly" throwing it in combination of the 1-2, which are two long punches. You would miss your hook. However Both teaching methods needs to be taught and understood. The natural feel doesn't come until multiple correct connections, because a beginners natural insticnt would probably be an arm punch. Especially when the left hook is the hardest punch to throw correctly. I can recall how stiff I was when I first learned it lol - at that point there wasn't even any concept of pivoting yet.

[@stoopidhaters]

That's what Wonderboy does. Karate puts alot of emphasis on exaggerating which is why the Techniques looks so stiff in Kata, but once you do Kumite (sparring), you can losen up while still maintaining good technique.

[@qleap99]

What I'd add is that I'd emphasize rotating the hip alone first, leaving the shoulder and arm in the original position, creating stored energy in the twist that the waist now has. Then let the shoulder follow, then the arm and lastly the fist, like an arrow being released from a bow. This all should happen in a fluid instant but those are the micro-steps to create power in the hook (and many strikes).

The simplicity of what he teaches is what makes him the best at teaching . These are things that people just take for granted, a lot of coaches never tell their guys that its okay to adapt to your body mechanics once you have the basics down. Just because we're born with the same limbs, it does not mean that we're designed the same way. What works for another person, might not work for you. The sidekick, is a major thing that causes injuries or ligament damage to guys trying to throw it in the same way that they see other people throwing it. Its not always a flexibility thing, your hip joints are not going to be a replica of someone elses hip joints. Seen guys drop to the floor trying to throw it perfectly perpendicular. Much safer and mote effective to engage your glutes into it.

I teach pivoting on the lead foot only to beginners who 1: are only boxing for recreation and 2: have trouble turning their hips into their punches. The pivot can be like adding training wheels onto the hook. Once they get that rotational awareness in their hips, they can take the pivot out. Works well!

[@theholisticmachine1493]

I don't teach it to any level of my fighters, because it is simplly poor body mechanics. A natural transition of weight is one thing....tippy toe with a 90 degree rotation like this guy is showing is anatomically stupid and sucks the power instantly.

[@voidofmisery4810]

I do like the concept of not being a robot. The hook can be done at quite a range of angles. It’s important to keep eye contact on the person, use your whole body to support the power, but have the flexibility to throw it differently (like moving backwards, forwards, or pivoting). Also, for people with weak wrists, i highly recommend keeping your wrist and arm aligned like a solid unit and not bend the wrist so to avoid injury. when you’re like me and can break wood or jaws with knuckles and have that tolerance, then it’s safer to punch at “crazier” angles.
