    I found this video on youtube and he says there are two ways of tucking your chin

    http://youtu.be/JrCgR4xwg0A around 2:40 to 2:45

    he says lean to one side and what do yous think of this

    aftre experimenting it felt really awkward :)

    Leaning isn't the same as tucking the chin. Keeping the head off center is an old school stance a lot of trainers prefer, but the chin should always be behind the shoulder.

    It reminded me off the old school black burn crouch for some reason :) ill try it in sparring. seems to make the right hand seem easier to see

    Better use a tennis ball places between your chin and left shoulder (for right handed) when shadow boxing.
