Why don't you see more fighters turning their feet when punching?

    LoL how interesting, I also started to learn at a MT gym bcz there wasn't no boxing gym. I remember they told me to pivot the front foot with lead hook and pivot the back foot with straight right. I had been doing it for a time probably but now I realize I dropped that habbit somewhere, even though no one told me to do so.
    Boxers when shooting the right don't apparently or clearly pivot their back foot, it's already facing the opponent most of the time and helping the body bouncing off the floor when shooting, so it's pushing down and releasing.
    And in MT they, now I remember, pivot their lead foot w lead hook even though they don't load/shift weight on the lead foot. And they are also pivoting w jab and most of the time jabbing w their weight on the back leg and lead foot toe on ground. I think it's all due to their MT stances, you know, tapping to the floor with lead foot toe and lead hand dangling outside
    Yeah, the MT method is geared more for setting up kicks and loading power into those for damaging blows. My coach at the time had me jab a few different ways...1 was to throw the jab, and rotate the hip into the jab to gain a little more distance. The other was simply stepping into the jab...a power jab I suppose. He wasn't much on the flicking jab because of the quick counters that can come over the top.
