Your front foot is pivoting when u throw ur lead hook. Isn’t that bad for Muay Thai and mma because your leg is exposed to kicks and will be kicked off balance? So should u not pivot the front foot instead?
That’s a great observation for me in my opinion, it depends how close you are in my opinion nobody’s going to kick my leg if I’m throwing a full blown hook at them especially if I’m inside tight close range but if you throw a pivoting leg with a hook and it’s far away you can definitely be low kids, so I understand why they teach not to do that. I like to do it to generate power in the heat of the moment to be honest I’m not really turning over my leg that much, but I like to mechanically practice it, so that my whole lower half is engaged from my ankle, up to my hip to my shoulder to my turnover of my hook.
