Circling right

[AdamGB]

When it comes to circling left it seems like I could do it all day throwing the jab. Yet when it comes to circling left, my jab loses all power and speed. I can't even throw my right hand. My left hook is powerless. What should I do? How are my feet supposed to move?

When you step to the left you are punching with your left foot. the left foot just moves, back foot pushes and creates the movement.

When you step to the right you're probably trying to throw with the right foot. Right foot moves, left foot pushes.

You can throw whilst stepping left because it's basically the same as stepping forwards in terms of balance, you can't throw whilst you're moving right because in terms of balance it's basically the same as moving backwards. You have to throw in between the shots, different rhythm and timing.

who gives a shit. if you circle and want to hit the guy, put on the breaks and hit the guy. but its easy to throw the jab going either way, and the jab is king. besides, probably better to learn to punch going backwards.

So in other words, I just gotta get used to it. Also right foot first followed by left foot.

btw Chris very good thread, I read it all and learnt a lot
