Does he train mainly amateurs?
The reason I ask,is that stance is usually used as a cheat for that level since there isnt alot of body shots to worry about

That may be the answer... He's only training amateurs as far as i know, and he's actually a young amateur himself. He seems to be more interested in teaching us pro style though... encouraging us to go to the body and usually working us on 3 minute rounds for example. my options are kind of limited here though and i think he does a good enough job with the basics... plus we have classes 6 days a week whereas the last gym i was with only had instruction two nights a week (up until they shut down without refunding)
