Study the trebuchet!

 

I've been told on a million occasions to study it. I've looked at it and prefer to study boxing. At the end of the day I'm not saying being on the back foot or the front foot is better, it all comes down to the skill of the fighter. I personally prefer the back foot, it makes more sense to me than the front. My comment was regarding Mike Tyson in those padwork videos and his shadow boxing work, not a trebuchet.

Thanks for the advice, but no thanks.

 

I agree with you there. The shots are very easy to tell, if the fighter is very skilled it can be more difficult. I find you can't get a good flow on the front foot. Working off the back, everything is consistent. It's to easy to catch a front foot fighter in between his combos because theres a delay in the rhythm. You use that back leg to 'reload' your shots and work off the balls off your feet and you can fire shots all day at someone.

This is why boxing today is garbage. You see a fighter throw three shots and its 1,2,.....3. A good fighter will catch him in between the second and third punch because they are simply to slow and inconsistent combinations.

 

If you want to destroy castles and be an expert in trebuchets then yea i would say definitely but for boxing no.

 

Simply watch a child taking its first steps, theres your answer.

 

Fighting off the back foot is very dangerous because you will get hit coming in also there's the threat of being cut in-fighting. Standing up haughtily erect on the right foot was actually part of British boxing up until 1910 and then with the birth of American boxing came the front foot defense where fighters are actually cut less due to the fact that back leg fighters are cut to ribbons during infighting I have attached article that I found and I will demonstrate it. http://coxscorner.tripod.com/hunnicut1.html:deal

Great examples of fighter fighting on the back foot:deal

 

You are very knowledgeable about this topic.
I would like to know, when throwing a left hook and you have your weight on your back leg like you suggest, do you momentarily shift weight to your front leg in order to rotate it and throw a left hook or do you always keep your weight on your back leg no matter which punch you are throwing?

 

Understand, your back foot is your distance. Front foot is your direction, come off your back foot theres no balance
. Front foot is there to direct power of the back foot, and to move it.

 

Study the trebuchet:good

 

If you are a fast bowler at cricket, it might help .
