Maintaining Composue

**artistmoving** · 10-28-2012 12:01 AM

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.

Hello southpawed et al:

*Bows deeply*

That would be me... my tripod archives and my newer blog/site (can't post URL's - against the rules). Both are a mess and my sincerest apologies for that. Work on them as time permits.

Very truly yours in the Martial Arts,

Wow.. No way. You have no freakin idea man. This is like seeing the elusive bigfoot. I kind of have so many questions about those old threads. None of really that much importance, but ones that i've had for years nonetheless.

Yea, I don't see a problem with it, as you have boxing content ( and other fight stuff) and so long as it isn't straight up promo it can only benefit our community. So welcome (back?) to Saddos.

I noticed you were checking out of Important/Useful forum in this section. It is a bit thin right now because we recently lost about 7 years of posts from pro and amateur trainers and others (Scrap, greysnotsoold, AdamGB, Chris Nagel etc) in a forum mishap. Well, don't know we lost it all, but it is buried so deep it will take a lot of work to find it all and get it back in place. We'll get there though.

Again, welcome.

There was a guy around here that taught the elderly how to fight and protect themselves with a walking stick. Very clever business,he aimed his promos at the right people at a vulnerable stage of life. I always look twice at fit looking old boys who just happen to carry a hooked stick around.
