    Which is what he makes us do, however I've never seen this kind of technique before like when he throws the right hand the shoulders don't go across the knees even stranger when he throws the RH the right heel barely lifts off the floor resting on the balls of feet it also apprears that his back is so straight that it's almost leaning slightly backwards, with the chin bent 15% like you said. This a very new style because we're taught to kick the heel over coming up onto our toes.

    A tip, walk and understand where the foot generates maximum drive.also be aware where the head is in the relationship. theres a clue there.

    The old coach of the last gym that I was a member at taught that power was generated by the chest moving forward in this case the chest isn't going forward it looks like it's actually resting backwards at 15°.so where does the power come from?isn't the transference of bodily weight part of boxing? Also the new coach doesn't step into his punches instead he uses his back foot or what I mean to say is that he puts his hind leg back to get distance which is bizarre because I was always taught that one had to step into the punch to get power where coach puts his rear foot back to get distance,without moving the lead foot backwards.to be quite honest about it I was talking to one of the other trainers in the gym and they say that outside of the gym most trainers look on him as being a bad trainer because they think that by him,fighting off the back foot with his back straight up and tilted backwards that he's going to get hit coming in.but then the question is why does he have so much success with his fighters why is he sending a fighter to the nationals and he's trained other good fighters who have won the Golden gloves.it's weird I've never seen a style like this before. I am a little fearful that I might get hit coming in like the other trainers from other clubs say but then I trust you scrap.

    Got me confused what takes you forward is the back foot. What takes you back is your front foot.

    Sorry. I wrote to quickly. From the natural stance take your rear foot and take a step backwards. Coach now says that you've created distance. I'm not making it up.

    only time this occurs is when you are changing height, otherwise you are mechanically of balance. Puts too much stress on the groin and lower back.

    Oh oh! He's getting us to throw to the body. yeah I told you he had wicked body shots that's what he's getting us to do.okay here's what is totally different the old coach said in order to go to the body you had to sit down on the punch and what he meant by that is putting the weight on the front foot to throw flurries he said that you can't throw flurries off the back leg is this true?
