Looking for Video of the "Pit Masta" teaching his left hook

Tom Corrigan · 03-28-2006, 06:34 PM

I remember there was a great video of John Hackleman showing how he trains the left hook, and he was smacking away at a focus paddle (?), and his hits sounded like agun shot! I wanted to show a friend and searched thru a lot of the WODs, but was unable to find it.

I think it was titled "What Works".

Thanks a lot,

Tom

Good video.

I really liked his breakdown of hand placement. One of the professionals at my gym was working on his stances last night, trying to keep up his punch output when he was going backwards. He was keeping his left shoulder up, left hand slightly out, right hand in front of his chin, just like in the vid.

Seems to me a pretty good stance against a southpaw as well.
