How to Throw a Lead Hook | 4 Variations of Lead Hook

Do you want to learn how to throw a lead hook? On this video, Tony shares the 4 ways or variations to throw a lead hook. The lead hook is one of the most devastating punches in boxing. However, it can feel very awkward when learning it, especially for beginners. I have even seen some so-called boxing coaches on the web throwing the lead hook all wrong. For this reason, I have put together this video to explain and demonstrate the 4 perfect ways to throw a lead hook.

My name is Tony Jeffries, Olympic medalist and retired professional boxer. I am now co-owner of Box 'N Burn, two boxing fitness gyms in Los Angeles, as well as the Box 'N Burn Academy where we train professional boxing trainers. During my career I won the national championship 7 times, and also became European champion. These are the 4 ways you can throw a lead hook.

To throw the perfect lead hook, the first thing you need to keep in mind is your starting position. The wrong position won't allow you to get as much power behind the lead hook. If you are orthodox, you will use your left hand, southpaws, on the other hand, will use their right hand. I am orthodox, so I will use my left hand to throw the lead hook.

First, I am going to get into position. To do that, I am going to throw a punch with my right hand. This puts the weight on my front foot, and that's the perfect position to throw a lead hook with maximum power. You can also slip while moving your weight to your front foot to get into position for a powerful lead hook. Anything you throw with your backhand will get you into the right position.

The lead hook also has its variations. In this video, I am going to demonstrate lead hook variations such as the mid-range hook. I will also cover the short-range hook, the long-range hook, and the lead hook to the body.

The lead hook to the body is by far my favourite punch in boxing. It has helped me win a lot of fights as a professional boxer. I was able to really master this punch but as you may probably guess it didn't quite happen overnight. It took a lot of hours of practice, but with strong determination, I was able to prevail.

Remember that the lead hook can be hard and awkward at first but once you have mastered it is the most powerful punch.

Regardless of whether you are boxing for fitness or fighting, mastering the lead hook will help you achieve your goals.

What you need to keep in mind is that transferring your weight is what will give you maximum power.
