ABSTRACT

Background of study: The hook punch is one of the deadliest punches in boxing. But at the same time, hook punches also require skill from the boxer. This study then aims to produce and test the basic techniques of hook punch boxing athletes aged 16-30 years.

Methods: The method used is experimental quantitative research by making a basic technique of hook strokes which refers to the concept of motor learning, beginning with the stimulus-receptor to the response-effector and muscle memory through a questionnaire that experts and practitioners validate before being used. The subjects in this study were male amateur and professional boxing athletes aged 16-30 years in Jakarta. Instrument trials were carried out in two boxing gyms with 20 athletes.

Results: The results showed that the validity and reliability tests obtained Cronbach’s Alpha value for each basic technique of hook stroke was greater than 0.60, and the r-table (product-moment) value was 0.444 <0.60.

Conclusion: Then it can be concluded that the basic technique of the hook stroke is declared reliable and feasible to use.
