hey tom yum, what is a shovel hook?
been watching tons of mike tyson clips on youtube. damn he's fast, love how he slips after every jab.
which is better? a jab thats from the back foot or the shoulder? i was taught that a jab should b fired from the shoulder??! |
1. Get a coach.
2. Shovel hook is a hook thrown at a different angle than your regular hook. A regular hook comes out with your forearm parallel to the ground; an uppercut comes out with your forearm perpendicular.
The shovel hook comes out at something around a 45 degree angle and is aimed at the body (kidney, liver or illegally in boxing at the lower back). I think it gets its name from the fact that the motion is like your are shoveling something.
