what sort of hooks?
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?

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.

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.
