Savate training: Lesson 4 - The hook

After straight punches it's time to learn the hook. Hook punches can be thrown either by your lead or rear hand. A hook is usually aimed at the chin but sometimes also to your lower body. Before watching the video where Ray Medel teaches you the hook I'd like to emphasize you the importance of using the kinetic power of your whole body. The power of the hook punch should mainly come from your body and not from your hand muscles.



A hook is a powerful punch that in can be used for knockout in the boxing competitions.
