Do you prefer the weight slightly more on the back foot as opposed to 50/50 distrubution? I tried it like this on the bag tonight and felt good,I imagine i would probably be harder to hit in this stance as it has more built in defence.
I prefer a little more weight, on the back foot. Thats your distance. Left foot slightly lift off the Heel, for turning the shoulder with the Foot, and if you need to push back, or spin. Plus the Heel being on the Floor when engaging, isnt good, its the Biomechanical break, it restricts, speed and movement. Sprinters do not run on there Heels.
