Welcome back to the sweet science your go to channel for all beginner boxing lessons.
So your an orthodox boxer, or your a southpaw boxer, does that mean you should only ever stay in that stance though ?
Most coaches would say yes
There are some advantages to being able to box out of both stances though
Cutting off the ring quickly by switching stances.
Shutting down angles by switching .
Getting back onto your opponent quickly by switching
Of course the main thing is being able to have a good foundation in the opposite stance and to be able to do your footwork in the opposite stance
There is a tactical advantage to being southpaw but only if you know how to fight out of an open stance , if your just going to mirror how you fight in a closed stance it’s not going to work but the first stage of finding out if you like switch hitting is to see how you feel doing drills in the opposite stance so here’s a few ideas for you to try in your shadow boxing or bag work firstly to see if switch hitting is for you .
Maybe we will do a little series on the subject if there’s enough interest
