    Yeah work on being in balance all the time by being in the correct stance, dont lean down or over commit to them. Practice correct stance correct footwork and control the opponent with your jab and use your reach. Not going square with your feet when chasing them or retreating but keeping the correct stance while moving your body around behind your stiff jab will have your belly a touch more side on and out of any direct trouble too.
    May pay to take up something else that gets you lighter on your feet too,table tennis, dancing,skateboarding, ice skating, fast balance correcting things.

    Scraps standing board on top of a pipe exercise would do the trick too and you eventually shadow box on top of it while maintaining balance would be great for you. Look up his routines by going back through his posts.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    Thanks Andre! I'll keep in mind what you said about taking up a balance-requiring hobby as well, but I know it will be a big load to take up two new things at the same time, so for now I will focus on specifically boxing basics :P

    As it happens, do you have any other hobbies that you do that help you with boxing? just askin for funsies.

    and this video is what you're talking about, eh? http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...ml#post1142228
    I'm at school(well, work) right now, so I couldn't listen to the audio of the video, but I get the idea of the exercises! they look like they take a lot of practice >: ) I'll listen to whats going on when I get home, thanks for that!!

    Would do you good to look through all of Scraps works he is prepared to share on his channel.

    This one: The logs at the end are great. From memory theres one you'll find eventually with a pipe and a board too.

    thanks for the videos Andre! I'll try picking up some materials at the hardware store to get going on some of these exercises--my balance is really bad!! :P haha

    As it happens I have some other questions; if anybody can answer that would be grand!

    1) I've read to keep your hands relaxed and not clench your fists, but when you throw a punch is it okay to clench your fist then? it seems natural for me to do it, but I want to make sure while I'm learning the basics that I'm doing it as exactly right as I can be.

    2) My boxing coach said that its good to do sit ups as an exercise, I was wondering if situps could be replaced with crunches in this case or if there is a boxing-specific reason that situps should be preferred over crunches? thanks!
