    It seems that due to always pivoting, your rear knee can get messed up eventually. Did any of you experience ACL tears/knee problems from boxing (not running, jump rope, etc.)?

    To explain, its Posture again and Body mechanics. Hips have 6% lateral movement, Ankle the same, But the knee has only 3% Feet too wide, Head over front Foot lose Posture lose Power, lose natural movement. Using the Body wrong, Injury waiting to Happen :yep

    My rear knee hurts from time to time.. but to tell you the truth.. I think it is from my job where I am standing on my feet for hours at a time.. and out of habit I tend to turn my rear foot sideways during the majority of the time

    Nope, your knee barely gets taxed compared to sports like football/soccer/basketball

    I have knee problems as well as ankle problems. Infact my ankles are terrible. But i always done the injuries playing football (soccer for my American friends). I have always wondered if the weak, injury prone ankles and knees have been brought on by my thai boxing days.
