GREAT QUESTION. It's heavily debated in the boxing community, but truthfully, either is fine. For some, it boils down to preference; for others, it's situational or specific to each opponent's distance and height. As a personal trainer, I focus on form and injury prevention. So, my tutorials will use the "thumbs up" method just because there's less opportunities to injure yourself. Throwing a "thumbs facing you" hook adds another level of rotation to your wrist and additional strain on your shoulder, so I don't recommend it to beginners starting off. But as long as you're keeping your wrist firm and connecting with the flat side, either method is fine. What's more important to perfect is the pivoting because your power comes from the hip. How well you balance yourself and transfer that weight will determine how powerful your punches will be. Hope that helps!
Finally the video has came let's get into it :> ❤💪
