As we execute it, the initial movement is an upward angle of the roundhouse, then it reaches a peak and descends in to the target., so upward angle, then downward angle. It doesn't go back to a hook kick.

So a downward angle roundkick, then an upward angle hook kick?
No, not an upward angle hook kick. When you finish executing the downward turn of the foot, you move your leg and foot upward and backward, then drop the leg and foot down the last part of the arc. You don't hook with the leg.

This is just as plain as mud, isn't it?

MBuzzy has described a practical application of it. I think our only difference is the initial drop and turn of the foot to make the forward part of the arc.
