Hi, guys. This is my first time here, and I didn't see a FAQ, so I thought I'd throw this question out there.

If you and your opponent are both in a left lead stance (neither are south paws), is it generally better to circle to your left or to your right?

I trained at a kickboxing school for about two years, and we circled right - away from the power hand. Several months ago, I moved and started training at an MMA school. The instructor here says to circle to the left, in order to crowd the power hand (and reduce its power). When I went back to visit my first school this weekend, my first instructor said that that is wrong.

So, what do you guys thing? What is the "official" boxing world's recommendation - Left or Right... or both, depending on the situation. If both, then when would I go in each direction?

Thanks in advance!
