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.

Image

makes your body swivel sideways.

Image

same way you turn a guy.

Image

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

Image

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

Image

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

Image

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

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

Image

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

Image

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 ...
