All great replies there. Alot to think about.

Once you have it down ,so balance is corrected or unaffected as the case may be .

Then you can move and hook too and bring it into play at unexpected situations which is when they are unseen/unexpected and so more devestating.

Stepping out on angles while throwing a hook for good measure as you land and turn; catches some people cold because they are following your movment.

You can use them as counters or even as a guarding inner blow that has you covered on the same side as you land it;

EG: if you were to say slip a jab to the outside ,move your feet and adjust so you close on in on him and your head slides up to around his elbow point or further in and you then turn with full hip swing and land the inner hook between his arms ,so as it lands it has his other arm covered, Surprize..


You can land a lead hook (off the lead arm) by sliding your rear heel in towards the shot.

You have to really think out 'when' you can get away with this!

One time, is hooking around a striaght shot or a jab ,the move gets your head out of distance ,but places you in a long stretched out front stance ,so be careful where and when you use it.

IT can allow you to exit fast into retreat or out distance them futher as your rear foot is facing out and away already;
OR: To move in further from there, you have to collapes the rear leg ,duck down and twist as you turn in then shuffle further forwards low and safe.
but you have to train for the correct time .so have a think about it hard and imagine different situations and practice 'like dance moves' alone ,then you get a mate to help and watch and feel their reactions and body positions and adjust yours accordingly .
then introduce it into sparring, before bringing it to the ring.
