HANDLING A BOXER'S HOOKS

Eagle Claw Kungfu

Sifu Robin and Chris demonstrate how to counter a Boxer's hooks


After handling a Boxer's jabs and crosses, we now learn to handle his hooks. There are two main ways. If the hooks are not obvious, i.e. if they appear like jabs or crosses, we can close him, treating his narrow hooks as jabs and crosses. If his hooks are large and obvious, we can intercept him. Bear in mind that a hooking attack is powerful, so your interception must be firm, preferably striking his arm at his elbow or his wrist.
