pls elaborate on the type of hooks. Is it boxing hook punch or those typical of preying mantis hooks.
Are the hooks aimed at your head or your back? Where are they grabbing you?

I see my master seated in Paradise and Paradise is beautiful and green; with him are men and boy servants.
He calls me. Take me to him.
shrimp up and use destructions to dissolve hooks.
when yer shrimped, keep your guard up.
when you see the hook coming, the destruction motion is akin to slicking your hair and creates a shield on the side of your head. You can eat a hook with this move and counter with your other side.
if you need pictures just ask, Im sure I can find examples, but you have to promise to do a google on shrimping and a google on pugilistic destructions first.
Kung Fu is good for you.
accept the hooks and drive deeper in to them. if you are inside the outermost arc of the hook then it hurts less.

I agree with Oso, the hooks have significantly less power when you drive into the opponent. The shedding (or destruction) techniques that DJ described are great to help carry the hook past you as you move in. Just keep you guard up and be ready to launch into an immediate counter.
I agree with Judge Pen agreeing with me.

Kick 'em in the nads!!!! Datz what I doo.........
they tend to grab forearms that just mostly bugs me. any blocks would help from the back? i was also thinking of putting more power in my blocks
basically what we are doing is one attack and one defending after a minute or two switch off. i have a feeling if he keeps grabbing im going to have to head butt him in the solar plexus
you must have one pointy head.
so, he's trapping/sealing your arms and hook punching around the same side as the arm he has trapped to hit you in the ribs?
If so...
counter grab as soon as they start to lay on and circle to the outside of the arm he is using to seal your arm and give him the same but quicker.
you could also attempt a chin na or throw them.
if they 'keep' doing it then there should be some predictability in their movement.

thank you guys i will keep those in mind when i do the drill again
I suggest you practice low stances (cat stance, cross-leg, front stance) combination. you can let the opponent attack you without fighting back.Originally Posted by dainos
practice the stances until the movement comes out natural. your feet will know where to go automatically, you can keep phase even with very fast opponent.
play the distance, safe and unsafe.
keep center of gravity low for balance
low stance will give ur opponent such a small target.
relax your arms and shoulder. your opponent is like grabing air when he tried to hook your arms.
your opponent will have hardtime trying to catch you before he can make the grab or hook.
i hope this help.

thats true if the one doing the hook is not an expert. if an expert hook or grab you, even if you move forward you'll be drag all over the place.Originally Posted by Judge Pen
just sharing
well, it's not like you wouldn't be doing unto him as much as you can while you're in there.Originally Posted by MyDrills
I agree with you as I'll hook punch to wrap the head as well.
It just works better for me to get inside and short punch and grab the head or get underhooks and throw...so, of course, I think that's the mack daddy of all options.
