HELP!!! New trainers technique conflicts with old trainers!

Hi guys i hope you can help cos im in quite an awkward situation.

I've just started training with a new coach as my old one retired.

the old guys techniques match that of old school boxing. If you read the dempsey book, you'll know what i mean.

one of the things I was always taught was to bob and weave from the waist ala dempsey, henry armstrong, sonny liston, dwight muhammad qawi and recent fighters like joe calzaghe.

however the new gym im at, everything technically is perfect, but the coach is trying to convince me to use my legs when i roll without bending forward. he says by leaning in i am at risk, so he wants me to roll with my legs and not bend my waist at all. Problem is he notices it instantly when I roll how I normally do, so I can t get away with it.

I dont like this technique. My legs get tired as if im doing a squat, and in a fight you want to put unneccesary pressure on the legs, and I feel it affects the balance. And from watching all the major boxers especially the mexican fighters, you see they roll from their waist.

Please advise me how I can get around this tough situation without leaving the gym or hurting anyones feelings...
thanks

regards

 

how could you argue against ATG like the above? they have proven it works. imo bending at the waist is less strenous on the body (legs)
the only time i bend from legs is when im in close...too close.

heres 3 weight world champ henry armstrong doing his thing.

even his opponents rolls from the waist at 5:00 mark.
rolling from the legs is a bad innovation imho.

 

so your telling me, that jack dempsey who teaches it from the waist, henry armstrong, sonny liston, joe frazier (sometimes, in his book he teaches one thing yet does another in his fights), joe louis, dwight muhammad qawi, calzaghe, brandon rios, magarito etc etc have a style that cant be taught? are these guys away from the textbook?
I can give you a clip of each of them fighters rolling the proper way (waist)

i just think its a matter difference of opinion. you do what suits you.

from what I have seen its a british thing to roll from the legs (almost like a squat!) not only does it look wrong, it is wrong.
the americans/mexicans do the roll from the waist.

im just gonna stick to what im doing, i just hope he gets tired of telling me.

 

thanks for the comments

 

:goodMr jeff thomas this is exactly how im being told not to roll

you sonavabitch, learn some respect

i've already stated i dont always bend from the waist, when im in close i use my legs.
but as a rule i still believe bending from the waist is the way to go. maybe we should tell joe frazier's, and most recently the chavez's and calzaghes that they were wrong, and that we should all listen to pussies like 'killsomething'

time to post some clips i previously studied when perfecting this move

all the top fighters and trainers teach the way i was taught at first....ie freddie roach.
