    Default question on stance

    anyone got any advice on stance, ive been changing from a regular stance to a side-on stance (very side on feet in line) lately, i get hit a lot less in the side stance and find my general movement (and jab) better but my coach doessnt rate this side stance, says i will have no power in my cross?? any advice or suggestions are much appreciated, thanks

    Thats funny,because thats the base stance I teach, and my fighters are notorious for their power

    It's different at my gym. They advocate the fighters to stand more side-on like what you've been experimenting with. On the contrary of what your trainer said, I find that I have a lot more power in my cross when I narrow my stance.

    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    In martial arts a straight line stance is called a cat stance,and as long as you sort your hips out, its the most punishing stance to deliver punches from

    thanks for the good advice guys, my coach reckons cos i am short and a southpaw that the regular stance is better but im def getting better results from side on and not eating as much punches so i will keep working on it and try and get the best overall way .
