6/27/2023 0 Comments Boxing star training guideWith your guard, keep your hands covering your chin with your palms facing you, doing so will not only protect your jaw but also your ribs and liver. The important thing to remember is to stay on balance and protected, which is done by keeping your guard up and staying centered. If your legs are straight and you get caught with a good shot, you will most likely be knocked off balance. When in your stance, it’s generally beneficial to have a slight bend in your knees to help you absorb punches and lean back and forward. Your best boxing stance will be the one that gives you optimal range, balance, power, defense, flexibility, and mobility. There is no real right or wrong way of doing things, only guidelines. The advantage of having your dominant hand forward is you will have a very powerful jab, with the downside, of course, being that your rear hand won’t have as much stopping power as it would the other way round, though this is something you can build up over time. There are a number of exceptions such as Henry Cooper and Vasyl Lomachenko that favor having their power hand up front. Not all fighters prefer their power hand at the rear. This means that in an orthodox stance, you should have your left hand and foot forward, or if you prefer the southpaw stance (generally favored by lefties) you will stand with your right hand and right foot forward. Generally, boxers prefer to have their more powerful hand at the rear. The vast majority of fighters are orthodox, and the reason for this is that most people are right-handed. Before anything else, the first thing you need to decide is what stance you are more comfortable with.
