The hook kick generates snapping power - enough power to knockout. The kick is delivered from a side-forward stance and can be used deceptively as a progressive indirect attack with other side-forward kicks. It can also be used if your strikes drive your opponent from punching to kicking range.
The hook kick can reach around a boxing style guard and still hit under the ear, the neck etc.
