Sideways Stance

[platinummatt!]

How are you going to be able to throw and of the punches coming from the rear hand ?

Frazier's stance is for slugger-types I think. I know that at Frazier's gym, the trainer teaches me to stand square. At another gym for pro's though called Schulas, the trainer teaches people to stand sideways.

If you're a puncher then stand square. If you're not, then stand sideways is wat I figure.

If you line up your shoulders, you lose the use of your right hand unless you are really quick, but gain faster use of the left and better body coverage. If you square up, the right comes off quicker, but with less power, and the body is more open. Depends on the fighter whether it is better to square or not. Joe Frazier had great body movement and power in both hands. As a smaller guy, he had to be able to use both hands and get inside, but he had the strength to pull if off. You've got to try different strategies to find the one that works best for you.....
