What do I tell him, especially when he thinks that there are only two kinds of punches frontal and rear legged punches. He gets the impression that I'm afraid to become aggressive being that I'm punching off the rear leg. Is it true that your hook isn't coming from the back foot and that the weight is equally distributed to both feet?
Yes its called balance. what you are balancing is the head. that balanced. everything else is. If its not nothing else is. One little experiment stand on one leg, then move your head 20% to the left 1st then after to the right, then drop it forward then back. what happens is your answer.
Changing gyms! Due to the efficacy of that LH you so graciously demonstrated,and that the coach won't let me corrupt the gym by throwing and landing on the rear he wants us to push off the front foot. He was angry that I quit because of my 4-0 record. Its unknown why coaches want their fighters pressuring and they seem to think that the only way to do it is by launching punches off the front foot. Ex coach talks about a trigger step can this be done by your method?
