Allright this may not come across right,but Ill try,this is hard to explain on line
First we need to start you in to a horse stance
Line your feet to your shoulder in a crouching stance,staighten out your upper body but bend at the knees,if your doing it right,you should be on balance,alow someone to tap you on your chest,you shouldnt rock at all
Now since your a southpaw,make a smalish half moon with your left foo backards
Now again,you should feel solidly under balance
Now bring your ight hand up to slightly below your cheek
Bring your right to below with your chin,with your elbow sharply down
Now try to maintain that while working the heavy bag

The horse stance is made for awkward shaped toilets, and if done in a boxing ring it'll turn you into a billboard that has "I'm Open" written all over it.

There is moves from other disciplines that benefit a boxer, this one is not one of them. From martial arts you have a move similar to the drop-shift, a lot of styles don't have one foot forward preference which leaves for move flexibility when it comes to options. Lot's of good ideas, but the horse stance isn't anything more than a stretch for the hamstrings and thighs when it comes to boxing

Its a base
A cat stance isnt any good if you dont start with a horse stance,you build outward
You build your style,you dont just walk in to it
A cat stance is a base fighting style,but yours wont have any balance if you dont build it from horse

[Trainer Monkey]

Or to put it in to proper prespective
Start at horse
Half moon your leg in to cat
Now tighten your guard
Now get up on your toes
Whaddya know,a perfectly balanced boxing guard
Everything needs to be broken down,nothing is easy

[Chris Nagel]

Alright, nothing that I would do, it's cool as long as it works for you.

You read my profile , I didn't put that their for your information. To be humbly honest with you, only undercover am I perfect.

In sparring I drop my right occasionally, I also commit to my shots too much which gives my friend more opportunities to counter. I haven't been side-stepping much, not counting circling, oh yeah a couple of times I left my zipper open.

Of course I don't like any of you enough to tell you my one big weakness.

You do indead have a sense of humour
Righty or lefty?
If your a righty your probably cocking your punches,a lefty your probably doing it for vision
I do the ccocking my punchs thing myself when I m tired,Ive spent most of my life training,but gass me enough.............................

[Chris Nagel]

You don't know, you haven't even seen me fight.

I don't cock my shots back, and I don't telegraph much unless I make a mistake (hesitate) or lose my attention. I guess another thing is hesitation, only with a good friend that I've become better at boxing than him. I got him on the ropes, see an opening and I don't want to pull the trigger and hit him with a bomb. If it's with anyone else I don't have a problem at all.

Dropping both of my hands if I didin't respect the guy's power like I'm friggin Roy Jones Jr., and moving straight back even if I did. My trainer used to tell me, "I don't know why you keep winning, cause half of what you're doing is wrong".

Yeah this can be a problem. You should try and correct it quickly, otherwise you'll adapt to this way. If what your trainer told you is true..."half of what you're doing is wrong".

Guys who train wrong....they can win bouts....but eventually they will come crashing down! Hard!

Ain't nothing against you, hope you do well, just letting you know.
