Question about Southpaws

[ScubaSteve86]

I do agree that fighting Southpaw is inherently different to Orthodox, and not just the 'mirror-image' that many people think it is. When I switch between the two, they feel different. Because I am a natural left-hander, Southpaw feels stronger and more stable. However, I also find that the placing of your feet and guard is a huge issue. I used to have to think about it all the time (thankfully, I am getting into the habit now).

Regards to footwork, when sparring I usually circle to the right, trying to keep my right foot on the outside of my opponent's left foot. I find that it puts my opponent within my range and also partially nullifies their ability to throw a hard right.

Thanks for the comments, and best wishes for your knee Dadi
