    when ever i go on pads with the head coach at my gym he trys to get me to stand slightly more side on. i know it make me less of a target but im short and bob and weave a lot and feel more balanced with my feet wide apart plus i feel i can throw my straight right with more power when standing more square on. is it just down to my core strength why i feel so unbalanced an something i just have to adapt to or is it just my style of fighting? i also think it might be because he wants me to fight like an amateur and pitter patter punch then dash away rather than be a come forward fighter. i dont like the whole left right run away style of the amateur fighting style. i rather have a war.

    u have to get used to learning new things that make you uncomfortable..Your right should be stronger when you're not squared up, it's probably because of you being akward from not being used to the new adjustments. So shadow box alot

    If your feet are too narrow then you lose lateral balance and restrict your right, turn your body more side on and your feet less so

    Exactly.. not saying learn to do it exactly, but its youll learn once you get your first bad hits, body square makes you a very easy target, to easy.

    This.

    Think about the first time you were sparring and how long it took to get used to getting hit and not turning away.

    Its just one of those things.

    When I first learned the stance my coach made me do stance/footwork drills for 6 rounds a day in front of a mirror every time we worked out, until I was doing it without thinking about it.

    He said it would be like riding a bike eventually. He was right. Now I do it without thinking about it.

    The other thing to keep in mind is that when you are squared up, when you get hit there is no rear leg to transfer weight to, and you have nowhere to go but on your ass.

    Styles is just the range of 4D motion...... if you feel better as a strong Arthur Abraham rather than a weak Froch then fight as Arthur Abraham.

    Won’t do harm to learn Froch.

    Power is generated by the position, of the 3 top vertebrae.
