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.

[@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]

same with soviet boxers like the main 4 Champs who rule their division, they know that power comes from the ground up with rotation and tight non telegraphs

[@zanerichter3806]

Idk Mike Tyson did it that way and it seemed to have a lot of power😂😂

[@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]

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.

[@Vinnay94]

[@Antleredangelbun]

Throw each example yourself and find out that each has their application. Front foot pivot - quicker with deeper follow through in exchange for less distance and less ability to maneuver out of range, should be used in a step-in combo where you're not concerned about your opponents offense or counteroffense Back foot pivot - causes more strain on the lower spine. a sharper snap on impact and a more maneuverable position in exchange for less knockback. Should be used in a step-out combo where you are worried about your opponent's offense and to evade, duck out, easier. It isn't so simple as "one good the other not". Great teach though.

[@richrodriguez1356]

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]

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.

[@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.

Yup great advice, at the end a good thing to remember is on long hooks make sure you’re “stirring the pot” that motion will help long hooks feel really good. On the inside hooks make sure thumb is up… creates a shit ton of power!!!

[@yololivesonce]

*pivots on lead foot* "i can absolutely do it without pivoting"

[@MediasmokeGaming]

I started my boxing career 7 years ago in my garage and your video. My biggest takeaway when teaching the cross and lead hook is the shift of weight from you front leg to your rear

[@boxinggorillavlogs7887]

“Can we please stop throwing the lead hook” sounds better to me lmao but ye lead hook is def an advanced punch

[@AzureCrook]

Average infighter watching that jaw line up perfectly 😅 you got 2/3 steps of throwing a punch in this video

[@Law-of-EnTropy]

funny enough, this was how my Karate teacher taught me how to do a hook punch. it's like a normal straight, but you're leading your body to the direction of the hook and it just comes naturally

[@LeRiderOP]

Been following Fight tips for quite some time, got to say Shane has come a long way... Keep up the quality content. 😎💪

[@businessman73693]

This is exactly what I needed. If you see this thanks so much you made a dofference for me

[@Mummymunmuggy]

Thank you Sir! Great explaination and great form, as always.

[@JA-1993]

This guy is a 3x boxing champion, he knows his stuff !

[@fighttips]

One of these statements is a lie

[@dustinellerbe4125]

You pivoted the whole time lol

[@R-cv5tv]

Garcia is like: bro have you not been watching me cook all those years?

[@Native_love]

Okay, so I could've been a pro boxer with terrible defense, but I'm barely 207 lbs and just a tad under 6'0. My coaches taught it a little differently but my Kenpo background caused me to train the open hand palm strike a lot. It ended up like you just taught, and I could knock anyone out with my lead hook. It's so beautiful that you teach this as I always felt like I was doing my hook wrong! Turns out it was right all along! Thank you coach!

[@FPSKole]

Been watching Shane since I was young. Definitely helped me over the years 🙌

[@austinneveau9387]

Fundamentals aren't meant to be innovative and personally molded. It's for building a strong foundation. Once that's done, they'll be able to grow on those fundamentals and create something more fitting to them.

[@pokerbuddy62]

This is an example of someone who’s naturally good at something being a bad teacher because they don’t understand that people who aren’t naturally good too need to learn it the “robotic” way

[@l337l0gan]

Man it took me a solid 18 months to learn this. I listened to people tell me exactly what shane said, pivot front foot and 90 degree bend always

[@yush4673]

Had to figure this shit out on my own, watching footage of myself wondering why my hooks look soft af 😂

[@dbox9120]

....yeah idk about that. That's how I pop my shoulder out. I reach to far and pop it

[@believein1]

It’s crazy how the mechanics in throwing a pitch and a punch have so much in common. I used to play tennis, and a forehand shot with topspin is just a hook. 👍

[@lucas13789]

Dude did about 10 separate things but said “jUsT SmAcK ThE FlY”…

[@skarhead7597]

I learned how to generate MASSIVE power with the way Shane says NOT to do...Not at first. I couldn't generate any power, but I stayed with it and never gave up. A few months later it was there...a few years later I can throw it easily, effortlessly, fluidly, and from any angle....No wind up or reaching back...very little space required...SOLID & sitting on it HARD with full weight & power...Don't give up on a great & proper technique out of laziness or because you can't make it work at first...LOL @ bailing on it because it doesn’t feel "natural" Natural is swinging wild like a pissed off baboon 🤣😂

[@niceguy3882]

Explanation of my coach: “Don’t spill the beer”

[@GLPitt1]

There are about 35 variations on how to throw a lead hook. The 90 degree bend with the pivot is fine. But you have to be at the correct range and it takes a bit longer than the slappy hook.

[@Kingpapichulo626]

Ahhh yes the good ol "pulling the body away back onto the back foot and taking power away for the hook" move.

[@ep073132]

that 90 degree lead hook is to hurt the ear when your opponent busy protecting his face

[@chiefmwase4562]

Both techniques are good, You throw the "wrong" hook at the end of a combo disguising its delivery and u knock the opponet out. Throw his recommended hook as a lead hook. Fact is one has more power than the other

[@vincentlaw1415]

I remember the first time some boxer taught me that move and I thought "this feels stupid and wrong, but hey, he probably knows better"

[@robertjackson3819]

Shane's my boy. He knows what he's talking about.

[@GamingBrothers_1]

Bro does not know what he is talking about 😂 Him: “What I need you to do is not pivot your foot” Also Him: *Instantly pivots his foot numerous times*

[@redflag8970]

It’s a very positive lesson and addresses the hook well
