See Body Hooks in Action: A Quick Heavy Bag Drill

The Shadow Boxing App is a boxing workout app that calls out combinations and drills so you can train shadow boxing or on the heavy bag, no partner required. Most people live at head height when they hit the bag and forget the body is a target at all, which is a shame because body shots are where a lot of fights are quietly won.

This short clip is heavy bag work focused on body hooks: dropping the level, turning the hip into the shot, and digging a hook into the ribs instead of always aiming up top. Landing it on a bag teaches you how much you have to bend your knees and rotate to get real weight behind the shot, something that’s easy to fake in the air. It’s the kind of thing the app mixes into workouts so it doesn’t slip out of your rotation.

If you want to add body work to your own training, you can do it for free. Download the app, pick a bag session or a shadow boxing round, and start throwing to the body as well as the head. No signup hurdle, just start punching.
