Inside fighting

[Chris Nagel]

Well, one reason for why they're discouraging it is that they might have not have any idea how it is done themselves. I remember there was there was this guy in the Title boxing videos that was trying to teach a kid how to do it, and the trainer was absolutely clueless. He had the boxer trying to do the move from a squared up stance, and the shoulder roll became a large turning motion instead of the easy natural. It was absolutely appalling.

With good fundamentals/ the shoulder roll can be done naturally. That means good stance, not a limiting ear-muffed, squared stance. There are a lot of gaps in many boxing trainers' instruction, and therefore it's up to the boxer take responsibility for themselves. Seek out a good trainer, and learn how to train productively and figure out a lot of things on your own.
