Consider too that the reaction to the hook is usually different than the poke. The hook tends to keep the head in place and turn it before they try to pull it back (the natural reaction to being hit in the eyes). A poke tends to move the head backward along the line it was struck on. In short, the hook turns the head and the poke moves it back. There’s a “dirty trick” the Silat people use in which you take the man down on his back and poke at his eyes. His reaction is to pull his head back and so he hits it on the ground even when you don’t get him with the poke. This could be used against a wall, too or of there were two opponents close together. Neat.
