a check hook is a counter punch

[Yuzo]

you can throw your check hook with your turn or you can throw your check hook with your step back.

how you turn a guy is you press down on your front foot and twist and swing over your back foot in the same motion.



makes your body swivel sideways.



same way you turn a guy.



how you step back is you press down and push off on your front foot.



you can wait around for a right hand to come over with your check hook.



or you can jab and create your own counter right hand to come over with your check hook.



there are many ways you can throw your check hook. but every check hook is a counter punch.

[Yuzo]

you can counter a jab with your check hook.

I like this thread very much. Never see Kalan here though.

heres manny steward describing what check hooks are.

[Yuzo]

you can throw your check hook over the top of a right hand and come back with your right uppercut.



the two punches conform around the shape of a right hand.



your check hook comes over the top of his right hand and he falls onto your right uppercut.

Actually ... a check-hook is NOT always a counter-punch ...

It's often a lead punch that is used when your opponent is moving in but not yet punching ...

He's trying to get inside to set-up his punch ...

... but you beat him to it ...

The check-hook comes right out of your normal stance ... it comes naturally ... with just a quick twist and drop of your lead left hand ...

...

its a counter punch.

[Yuzo]

dont throw your check hook and turn separately.



punch and turn in one smooth motion.
