I found two interesting videos that show Chuck teaching some of his punching techniques. I wouldn’t recommend doing these in fight unless it really works out for you. You could try it when sparring for shits and giggles. If it works out for you, then that’s a different story.

Lidell Right Hook

I was always taught to throw my hooks tight to my body, but Chuck throws it totally different. From what I got from the video, he drops his right hand a little and hooks up at a small angle. Like a normal hook, it’s all in the hips and body.

Lidell Overhand

Seems to be effective for Chuck because it can get over the boxing guard. Like you should be doing with every punch, he explains to go right through the target, whether it be a pad or someone’s face.

I wouldn’t recommend throwing all of your punches like Chuck because the fact is you aren’t Chuck Lidell. These punches are extremely unorthodox and if not executed correctly can most likely hurt you due to counter punches. I just posted because it was interesting to see how Chuck punches. Can’t say that this is all bologna because Lidell stays knocking people out. Stick to the basics, master them, then experiment a little.
