The front Heel shouldnt be involved in the manouver, the front Heel is the Biomechanical Break. The Balance of the manouver are the Knees The Heel locks the Adductors stopping the Abductors from working . Thats what causes leaning with the shots, and loss of oral stability and balance. Usually caused with the feet being to wide, and compensating, making the shoulders tighten and slowing down speed of delivery.

So hold on guys, let me get this straight.. and please correct me if I' wrong.


From my understanding of it.. The heel of your back leg (or your right for orthodox boxers) should never ever touch the ground. You should always be on the balls correct?

Now, in order to throw an effective straight shot, your front (or your left) heel should never touch the ground either.. meaning that a proper boxing stance would require you to always be on the balls of your feet and never let your heels touch the ground?

If thats the case, that's one of the things I need to work on, my left heel seems to be on the ground, often.

Thanks for all the hep so far guys!

ABSOLUTELY, When throwing a right hand, your back foot pivots and automatically you are on the ball of your feet. Watch every great proffessional boxer from any era throwing a right hand, The heel of their back leg NEVER TOUCHES THE GROUND

I am not sure about this one, a PROPER right hand should be thrown that way definitely with the left leg on the balls of your feet, but i have seen great champions knocking people out with thair left heel on the ground

If thats the case, that's one of the things I need to work on, my left heel seems to be on the ground, often.

TRY TO DO A TINY STEP-in to the left (WITH THE LEFT LEG) a little bit when you throw a Right Cross. You will never be OFF-BALANCED, you will generate maximum power and your head won't be a target for a counter-punch

Thanks for all the hep so far guys

Badri hari When you say step in, do you mean step in to your opponent or the inside of your body? I assume in to your opponent has in angles? If yes then i agree this step in would be proper technique, it is one of the many angles that any fighter should learn and come to love. They are simple but to use them effectively takes alot of practice. And yes i pretty much stay on the balls of my feet the whole time.


Here is exactly how i throw my straight right.

Obviously, its not all the time, out off distance, or up close things change. Plus its tiring to maintain. But if when defending or attacking it applies.Reason being thetensor fasciae latae, when the knee is bent and the Heel is raised it activates qiucker response from it. Its this the TFL that the abductors work off and get the message to react with speed and power.

Also as far as shift in wieght, there will be small shifts in wieght through the whole match but no matter where your wieght is you should be able to stay balanced. Your balance comes with proper stance. If i step in with that striaght right and have a small amount of more wieght on that front foot, i still have enough balance to throw a left uppercut, then right hook and make a quick evasive exscape.

to Fran: i saw your right cross instructional video, and You are throwing a Perfect Right Hand (with the Left heel on the GROUND) and WITHOUT doing the tiny step in/left. Nothing wrong with it, its just perfect
But me and cambay411 were talkin about a Right Hand with a tiny step in/left, which makes it more powerful without losing any kind of BALANCE and DEFENSE

in the right cross video (not right hook), you were standing on YOUR TOES (with the right foot, while your left was planted) and said that im keeping the weight in the centre. While the weight after the punch was: 65% front leg, 35% back leg at most.
