Any of you guys tend to go south paw when orthodox? Or vise versa?

[Ryn0]

it's obvious some of yall have never sparred a round in your lives. it's never a good idea to switch your stance unless you have been trained in both stances, if your a conventional stance and switch to southpaw, your opponent will outland your ass all night long. You are not gonna magically beat the guy in his own stance, if you want better leverage work on your balance and practice throwing punches in different angles, and body movement.

don't listen to some over weight bum on a computer try to tell you it's a great idea to switch your stance, specially during an actual fight, it's like setting yourself up to get ktfo

I'm right handed and I fight southpaw. I can switch orthadox but admittedly I don't like it, it just feels more natural for me to fight southpaw.

And I have been sparring for years just to clarify.

I like to switch it up when I'm shadowboxing or hitting the bag, but I was always too timid to actually use it in sparring.

There newest fighter in Hajime Ippo series in the manga is a philipino fighter who is a switch-hitter.

He does not change the position of his leg but he switch just be rotating his torso.

If a person goes right he become southpaw and if he turn left he become orthrdox.

They call him in the series Randy Jr. "Asuru" which is the Indian God with many faces

I'm learning to switch for brief moments in order to control the fight better and catch them at angles. As they come in, if they're aggressive, pivot around, switch to southpaw, send a few jabs with your right, maybe a hook, move around and get back into orthadox. Whenever i've tried a backhand straight while in southpaw I have failed, more practice is needed. However, I don't intend to fight in it for long, just brief moments to throw them off or take control so the lead hand action should be sufficient.

With certain punches I like to switch stance to get in between their guard in different angles.

i switch it up alot. but practiced a lotttt on the bag and shadowboxing before actually trying it against somebody. it comes in handy once u get it down. great mentally to throw guys off. also good to start combinations from a quick switch up

[Unknown Champ]

when you spar and switch to southpaw quickly you can throw your opponent off by pumping the the right jab right away, it works for me a great deal of the time, anyone else?

i feel comfortable in either southpaw or orthodox,

seems fun to me =)

certain punches feel wierd on either side though. but other wise i'd perfer to fight in either rather than one stance
