https://www.myboxingcoach.com - You may be fortunate enough to be comfortable and effective boxing out of both the orthodox and southpaw boxing stances. If this is the case for you then by far the most important thing to do is to master the tactics that work most in relation to the particular stance. These tactics include positioning in relation to your target/opponent, punch selection, movement into and out of range. The list goes on. Knowing when to actually switch your stance though is also important of course, but not nearly as important as having the plan to get stuff done when you switch. In this video I talk you through one way of switching your stance at long range. The key to success is to switch your stance under cover of your own punches. The formula is quite simple really. Starting in one stance, orthodox in this case, throw a power back hand and allow your rear foot to 'travel' through behind the shot. As the rear foot lands in the front foot position, let go the same hand this time using it as a jab. At the end of the move you are in your opposite boxing stance and still at long range ready to let go with your follow up shots. A final word of caution. There is an urge to allow your body weight to 'overbalance' forward. Be aware of and avoid this over-balance at all costs - all you do is add weight to your opponent's punches. Thoughts, questions and observations below. Cheers Fran
