i love shovel hooks- I have no time for ranged fighting

Me too, but mostly because of my short height, arms & legs. I can’t fight at range so have to get up close & personal, like a slippery bugger — whether I like it or not.

This video from Rodney King (of Crazy Monkey Boxing) provides a good demonstration of the Shovel Hook itself:
