I have recently made strides in improving my balance, and I think I have stumbled upon the answer. Before, I spent hours and hours shawdowboxing and hitting the bag keeping my chin down. By keeping my chin down, this inadventenly caused me to square-up more and my head would also be forward, compromising my balance. After punching, many times my head would be over my lead knee. Moving my feet, my quickness and combinations were hindered since my balance was off.

Now, I don't keep my chin down anymore and I focus on having "no hump in my back" as my trainer put it (shoulders hunched forward with chin down). I move faster, punch better, and feel this slight change has made a huge impact.

My question is this: Are you supposed to keep your chin down or back? How do you keep it 'back'??

I still put my chin down when Im inside, but when i'm outside, I just keep my head natural and relaxed. Is this wrong??
