In those clips, they didn't wait for their opponent's attacks. They attack first.

In the following clip, I did try to punch at my opponent's face. but my punches could not go through.

After head lock, if you want to follow with a

- punch (such as uppercut), you may not want to wrap your opponent's leading arm.
- throw, you want to wrap his leading arm and pull.

Right, no "left hook, right hook to counter jab/cross." Again, can you provide any testing video showing the OP "A throws jab/cross. B uses double hooks to counter it:"

You can't see my opponent uses double hooks here?

I can't see your combat hypothesis, "left hook, right hook to counter jab/cross" in your "testing videos." Again, can you provide any testing video showing the OP "A throws jab/cross. B uses double hooks to counter it?"

And no I'm not taking about your well established shuai jiao record and mastery, I mean all the strategies for dealing with boxers that you are sharing.

They train partner drills in class. They go to local MMA gym and Sanda tournament to test their skill. ...

I don't have testing video. I only have training video.

Again, if I try to punch my opponent's head, but his double hooks prevent my jab-cross from going through, that's testing video IMO.

Again, that does not show "left arm wrap, right head lock, left leg step in, right leg cut." Can you provide a training (or testing) video with more realistic (e.g., punching rhythm, distance, movement, etc.) punches, like in strategy 1, that shows your combat hypothesis, "left hook (punch the jab), right hook (punch the cross), left arm wrap, right head lock, left leg step in, right leg cut?"

Your testing or training (with realistic punches) videos do not show "left hook (punch the jab), right hook (punch the cross), left arm wrap, right head lock, left leg step in, right leg cut."

Again, there is not much difference between your testing videos and the typical long guard to head control. The timing is the same:

Outside to inside blocks work just fine for defending a jab cross. What is going to determine whether you use the outside to inside double hook or a different technique is your training, your distance, your positioning, your movement, your timing, and your style. Some fighters like to leave the center open to invite attacks and counter, others like to guard the center.
