Left hook counter.

[$HandsOfFIRE$]

At 1:53 One of the guy drops bombs and the other guy covers up. Is that sort of the monkey defense? Cause i have a mean left hook and i mean this guy ended it with a left hook. What do you think? Will it benefit me in sparring? And if so how should i set it up?

First off I think the Monkey defense is garbage, body is wide open, your fighting blind, if fighting MT your set up perfect for leg kicks......... just my opinion!

To answer your question: as you turn towards your left side (coiling up) lift up your right shoulder (like a shrug) and move your left elbow (while your hands are still high) down to your waist. Then from that position (you should be coiled and loaded for the left) violently drop your right elbow towards right hip and let your left shoulder roll forward extending the hook........... likely to the body, otherwise it is more of an overhand left.

Hope that helped!

the cmd can be applied in fighting. if you're rocked and you need time to recover you need to cover up the cmd will work if you don't have the energy for body movement to slip or room to create distance.

here is a good video to counter the left hook to the body
