That's insightful. I don't try to be showy but I might fall into the twits category as I would roll my shoulders if I felt more comfortable with it. It seems to me that if you have good timing you can come in fast with a step and by switching sides really have some momentum behind you-- I do have my whole body coming into my punches but I'm hoping to get some additional power with the turning part of the switch stance. I also want to keep my opponent uncomfortable with jabs from different sides and angles. I'm trying to keep it real as far as what is applicable from tai chi-- but I'm certain it's making me a better boxer.
I see what you're saying-- I need to learn how to take advantage of or create openings with the switch stance-- but there has to be purposeful intention there.
