All and ane advice is appreciated?
my left jab in orthodox is very fast and accurate it lands basically anytime i throw it ---but the problem is its not that strong pressure fighters swarmers and people with great chins usually juss eat my orthodox jabs and juss come forward with combination's because they dont respect the power of my orthodox jab-------------so recently i did some experimenting to cut a long story short i found out my right jab in southpaw has about 80 percent of the strength of my right straight in orthodox im juss starting to learn southpaw but when i spar in southpaw my right jab gets respect like it can push people back like a straight right but i found also it feels natural for me to throw it (but also for whatever reason the southpaw stance does feel more natural to me then the orthodox stance like i have the potential to become a converted southpaw also known as a right handed southpaw )
your success is probably based on the fact that a southpaw causes a mental disruption to a lot of guys that don't fight lefty's all that often. bet you straight left is less powerful and the right hook feels awkward. you can train yourself to be a left hand fighter, it takes a few weeks to adjust but work your footwork first or you will always be getting stepped on or tripped up.also your coach will yell at you till you switch back. most coaches want rights to fight orthodox and lefts to do the same(ideally) . if you take a serious blade art like Kali, they switch between the two constantly, this may be good but a lot slower to learn than the boxing.again i can't stress how badly you need to work the footwork. watch the tape Kali Tudo to see how its done.
If your not naturally a southpaw then you never will be a natural southpaw. But you can still practice and become very effective using a southpaw stance. You just have to get into a southpaw stance and spar, hit the bag, etc. Also one more thing make sure you get good using your natural stance first then start mixing it up.
