How Do You Throw A Left Hook In Boxing?
• Stand in your normal boxing stance. Power punchers generally keep their lead (left) foot closer to square with their right than straight punchers. • Do the following simultaneously: • Plant your back (right) foot and keep it there. This foot will never move. • Shift your left foot onto the toe and twist leftward as if you are stamping out a cigarette. • Lower your left arm and cock it at a ninety degree angle in a parallel plane to the floor. • Twist your torso to the left. • Keep your right hand at the chin as a guard. • Then do the following simultaneously: • Starting with the legs, unwind your slightly twisted body while twisting your left foot on its toe to the right. • Use all of the force you can muster to unwind your torso. • Keep your chin down (always) and your head facing forward. Ideally, your head will stay in the same place throughout the duration of the punch. • Keep your left arm locked at a 90-degree angle. • Strike your opponent squarely on the chin. After the point
