Scrap, one of the stretches you posted for me actually helped a lot. I've noticed a strong correlation between punching speed and the amount of time I spend doing stretches.


But what are your thoughts on the transfer of weight between legs while you punch?

At first I figured it made sense, but lately I find more and more I'm comfortable keeping most my weight on my back leg, even while throwing shots. I feel that some weight naturally transfers to the front but, too much throws me off balance.

The other day I had a guy tell me to keep my weight always evenly distributed between both legs, and to never step or pivot with the jab and to always maintain that balance between the two legs... and at this point I'm pretty confused as to what the correct way is.

I dont want to build habits that are technically incorrect, regardless of how comfortable I am doing it.
