You are right. I do think that boxers who are so successful have to know their stuff. I'm glad I found this forum since it does give me a chance to ask questions which might be taken as being disrespectful in the gym. I appreciate how patient everyone is being in answering them!

As for the knee pain thing I have a dickie knee at the moment so that hits a nerve! Also a young kid in my gym is suffering a bit at the moment. I hope parallel feet are not the cause because while I don't mind forming my own opinions for myself I don't consider myself experienced enough to go against my trainers coaching other people.
