Members Area | Hook Tutorial

We’ve been look at different types of strikes lately, one of these is the hook. Krav Maga is fundamentally a striking discipline so its important to understand how and when to use this tool. Jack & I have prepared this tutorial but please note this is not a technical breakdown just a recap on what we have worked in class while building striking combinations.

Checkpoints:

• This is a circular strike and is thrown towards the body or head.
• When striking, keep the elbow high (in line with the fist) while turning the hips to generate power.
• A hook should be thrown at the correct distance, when close to an opponent.
• Keep your body tight, recoil and always keep your hands up.
• See the video above for practical applications – this can be used as part of an attacking combination or when slipping straight strikes.

Watch this space for a recap on some of the combinations we have been building over the last weeks and months. These will appear in the members area.

Most importantly, enjoy your training!

Kida!
