    Is that so? Many women have strong lower bodies, and they can not hit hard at all. What does science say now? Ever see tommy Hearns skinny legs?

    Most punchers have strong shoulders and back muscles. Legs can add for sure, but I am advocating balance over the need to twist.

    but the twist keeps everything in balance and the Tendons working efficiently and naturally giving direction and less chance of injury.

    Why wouldn't you pivot with a left hook? Any trainer that tells you not too needs a slap.

    He's probably like some of the idiot PT's I've seen around. They do completely wrong or really different things, people see these things and get drawn in thinking he/she must know something special as nobody else does it that way. In reality nobody does it that way because it's ****ing stupid or just plain wrong.

    A lot of the power is generated with the right shoulder, while the legs are stabalising the Head

    :rofl Is he an actual boxing trainer or does he just help out? I thought some of the am coaches round my area were bad with their very very very basic style of jab right hand, hands up, walk forward.

    Surely he knows to keep the right hand as close to your face as you can as you throw a jab?:lol::lol:
