help keeping head/weight back while throwing the right hand

[Scrap]

Pull the front shoulder back, also lift the front heel slightly of the floor 1/4inch. It will stop it becoming a brake for your right shoulder as regards movement.

What i did to help with my form is to work on body shots on the heavy bag... use big scoops. believe it or not this will help your body(legs and sholders and head) to get the idea of how to move when throwing the straight right and or jab.

Thanks Scrap, I'll try to use the front heel as a brake like you mentioned.

Killer: What do you mean by 'Big Scoops'?

[Scrap]

I said dont use the heel as a brake

Oh... I think I got ya now. When the front leg is stiff, its like a brake not causing the body to rotate thus the weight goes forward with the momentum? Is that getting warm??

Ah, I see what you mean Scrap. Thanks!

i throw a right(or try to) by not throwing it across my body,but over my hip this seems to stop that tendency to lean into it an un- balance.

[the killer]

your thumb should be facing up and your knuckles should be down... i know this is not what you were asking for but this really helped me with my stance and my posture the whole lot of it.

Stand in your fighting stance, get close to the bag and "scoop" your fists into the bag in a slow exagerated motion( moving your hips and feet).

do you kinda get it now? i hope this is better explained.

good luck
