Uppercut, Body hook
The Uppercut is another off line attack that circumvents most guards. Traveling in a semi rotational and vertical thrusting motion it drives up to its target. As with most punches it hits harder with the body behind it so it starts with a slight lowering of the knees and torso. Driving with the legs and scooping with the back, shoulder and arm, strike at your target.

These hooks are thrown very similarly to the high line hook and the uppercut but are designed to strike the abdominal region of the body. The body hook is thrown with the body lowered at the legs and back in the same manner as before. The shovel hook strikes upward at about a 45* angle and achieves it results in much the same way.
