Video Transcript

"Hi there, welcome back. We just learned how to do the jab punch. Now, let's discuss the hook punch. When doing this, try not to raise your elbow. If you raise your elbow, it leaves you open to be hit. Instead, throw the hook punch by forming a small circle with your arms and going in and out with your fists. Let me show you from these two angles. Now, let's demonstrate with your opponent wearing the pads on his hand. Do not swing your arm all the way out from your side. This should only be done by those who have broad shoulders. If you look at me, you'll notice that I am small, weighing only 147 pounds. How will I generate the power that comes from bringing the punch from that distance? Although, my opponent's shoulder is big, I have powerful hips. From this stance, I will incorporate my body strength, to throw my punch. Keeping your arms close to your body, and holding your fists, up near your face, throw your hook punch. If your punch makes contact with your opponents face, how effective is it? As a rule, most people cannot take a lot of pressure to the jawbone. Remember, to throw the punch, generating power, from your 'powerhouse' which are your hips. This concludes the discussion of the hook punch. Thank you."
