A hook is a punch in boxing.[1] It is performed by turning the core muscles and back, thereby swinging the arm, which is bent at an angle near or at 90 degrees, in a horizontal arc into the opponent.[1][2] A hook is usually aimed at the jaw, but it can also be used for body shots, especially to the liver.
