Ali footwork

When i moved, my feet will tend to change angle.
Meaning it won't be 45 degree, not facing the inner of the opponent's feet.

Three pieces of advice:

1. Don't do that <grin>
2. Practice, practice, practice (watch yourself in the mirror)
3. Use that pushing idea, so that your first foot moves and the following foot drags/slides up while staying in the same relative position/angle.

Maybe taking smaller steps will help too, if long steps are your problem. With long steps you are more likely to reposition your feet and lose the relationship.

Coach has some guys wear a tether between the feet and work lots of shadowboxing that way.

Grin as in the feet? V shaped?

My friend Derek Roche the 3 times British welterweight champ has some really smooth footwork tips. The way he moves to the left is awesome. It takes some practise but you can get it to work well after a while as long as you use it at a distance.

It looks just like what Ali used to do,

Here's the link - just play the video on the page.
