I was doing a bag workout today (A full one! Not a slacker hit-the-bag-a-few-times-cause-I'm-bored one) and noticed that my hooks well, don't hook. They don't snap off the bag, rather I end up driving through the bag.
How should I work on getting the proper form? A resource on proper mma hook form would be great.
My woeful punching also led me to rethink how I strike at all.
Thus, if it isn't too much to ask, a resource on a mma jab, straight, and uppercut would be great and much appreciated.
I am asking for mma striking because I'm more interested in the mma sport than pure striking ones such as kickboxing and boxing.
Thanks a ton for helping out a nub like me!

On an unrelated note, I've FINALLY been able to secure wrestling training because my school doesn't have a wrestling team or program. Due to Bullshido.net's encouragement on grappling, I've spent the past 2 months or so talking with my school's administrators as well as wrestling coaches on how I can wrestle for school.
After talking with three coaches, 2 athletics directors, my principal, my vice principal, and a CIF referee, I've succeeded in gaining free school Wrestling! There is still some debate on whether or not I will be allowed to compete in the state tournament (CIF), but at least I can train now. Yay! :) My first practice is next Monday I believe. My dad's also bringing me to check out a Judo dojo and club this next week since AP testing is over! Woot!
