Jabbing Mistakes.

I agree with Greys, interestingly the Arms have a Kinetic link to the Hips, not knees. the knees are orchestrated from the hips as are the feet.Everything comes from your centre of gravity, what gives you better balance, is where the thing you are trying to move, the Head, is balanced.

Scrap bent elbows and knees create a shorter pendulum that swings faster.

I know, whats the point.

Point being harmonize the elbows with the knees by sinking the hips! Rear knee is soft allowing for high cadence.

Ok got you, I prefer it on both knees, with the backfoot being your distance and drive, and stability. Backfoot being the anchor, as in anything you do in life as regards balance.

How does the backfoot provide distance whilst being planted?

I don't know if I can explain this...your right foot is where you really are. You can cheat close with your left foot and leave your right foot behind- get a wide stance-and you will be short with your right hand. To hook to the chin (you can push off the left foot to hit the body, not so much up top) you will pull back to your right foot.
We talked above about how Floyd and Archie Moore created distance by stepping or leaning forward but came back to the right foot to land blows.
And I'm not sure planted is the right word. In boxing your weight is constantly shifting from foot to foot. That is the essence of balance and the source of power and force.

Okay so back foot distance means taking a step backwards with the right leg!? Just got a pm telling me to move my foot from 2 to 3 to create distance. Pivoting isn't creating distance it's merely buffering blows?
