    Default jab angle?

    how do you line youre jab up,should my jab be aimed at whatever my big toe is pointing too? and from what i understand my big toe should be aimed at my opponent at an angle of 40 degrees is that correct?

    Perhaps i can make myself better understood if i use a clockface as an example,Lets say my front foot is at 11 oclock and my rear foot at 4 oclock does that then mean that i aim my jab and right cross at 12 oclock or should it be further round than 12 to make things more balanced....

    Yes thats what i mean so that things are nice and symatrical but i sometimes find that a little too narrow but on the other hand i always feel the more square i get with my stance the jab dosent really feel right,i guess its coz you are unable to get the shoulder behind the punch and it becomes just an arm punch,i remember someone on this forum once reffering to tipping off the jab,i wonder if this was what they were reffering to...

    Depends on what you want to live on
    A more square stance will give you a meaner cross and a hook

    i thought that the narrower stance was better for the cross coz you got more leverage on it

    Naw,Frazier fought with a wide stance,he lived on that rising cross
    Hopkins started his career with a wide stance,his hook back then was brutal

    As long as the back foot has a good view of his chin there shouldnt be a problem

    Theres a tendon muscle that everything when punching works off for speed and power filled with fast twitch fibres its to me an amazing thing Tensor Fasciae Latae, at 5 to 5 its a dangerous thing to have around the secret is how to use it.

    How do you train it to work with your punches?
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    Cc. Congratulations on reaching the big 3k.

    Anyways what I should have asked instead is, how do you improve it? Strengthen it, or make if neurons fire faster?
