Hook punches work best as one of a combination of strikes; however, for the purpose of clearly illustrating the technique, it will be demonstrated from the interview/de-escalation stance.

Pull your arm back and make a loose fist. Don’t clench your fist tightly at this time, as this would tense the muscles of your arm and slow down its movement.

Imagine that you have a piece of string that runs from your elbow and attaches to your heel. As you raise your elbow it pulls your heel up, so that you can pivot on the ball of the foot. This will allow you to drive your hip into the strike.

Keep turning your body, with the arm bent at the elbow. At this point, all of the power should be generated by the turn of the body.

As your fist connects with the target, stop your body turn and start to extend your arm; think of it as making a jab punch across your body. This will allow you to drive your fist through the target without having to keep turning, which would expose your back to your assailant.
