Southpaws - Stop Whining. You have a BIG advantage (if you are orthodox, you need to watch too!)

Go Here to Download Your Book - https://www.myboxingcoach.com - I have been posting boxing training videos for a long time. I'm often asked by southpaw boxers to make videos specific for them. But, this feels a bit like whining. As a southpaw, you have a big advantage over orthodox boxers...it's down to familiarity. When it comes to boxing training videos specifically for southpaws, it's really very simple. Remember, you have a huge advantage because orthodox boxers are generally not used to you. Only 1 in 10 people are left handed. That means 9 out of 10 people we meet are orthodox. You are more familiar with them than they are with you. All boxing skills that coaches like me teach are the same. The mechanics are the same and the faults that occur are the same. So, if I'm teaching someone how to throw a jab, it will be exactly the same but in absolute reverse. Boxing skills don't care about southpaw or orthodox, they just want to be executed well. So, reverse them. Tactics are slightly different. There are some basic tactics to deploy when you meet an opponent of an opposing stance. So, a southpaw vs orthodox and vice versa But the reverse rule is in play here too. If I'm coaching a southpaw to box against an orthodox, there are some simple tactics that I would encourage: Dominate the lead hand exchanges Dominate the ground to your right (get your lead foot outside theirs) When moving left, move slightly away to nullify their right hand If I'm coaching an orthodox against a southpaw, I get them to do the exact same but I reverse the final two: Dominate the lead hand exchanges Dominate the ground to your left When moving right move slightly away. So, reverse it. Cheers Fran https://www.dropbox.com/s/y24pqb0fwua... https://www.dropbox.com/s/n2kz7srl5ok...
