In this week's mini-episode, we're discussing hooks, the main mechanic behind techniques like butterfly guard.  Hooks are a tracking mechanic used to follow your opponent and create opportunities to off-balance them.  This is the fifth in a six-part series of mini-episodes we're doing on the core mechanics of Jiu-Jitsu: frames, levers, wedges, clamps, hooks, and posts.
