Cast off - typing again.

lol - is this forum gone so quiet that the administrator doesn't even log on anymore??

Any chance of moving this to sports science sub-forum??


A lot of older boxers at the gym have been disputing this approach cause they favor the "stand up straight and use your length" type of approach.

But my reach advantage is not negated here (I'm 6'3 btw)

Then length of my arms isn't reduced just cause I'm more, "hunched over".
I may reduce my height, but that lowers my center of gravity and reinforces my stability.
It doesn't detract from my range with my arms or legs.

I've also find taking a wider stance with more of a bend in my knees, again lowering my overall height, facilitates with movement, having a lower center of gravity, and vastly increases reaction time.


I'm thinking a lot of the old school approaches toward boxing are becoming outdated.
Guys seems to overlook taking a more insightful and mindful approach, and styles and boxing development are stagnating.

But hey - that's just my opinion man, but it's gotta be said cause, the older dudes at the gym, it would seem to me, are really set in their thought processes of how one should or should not box.


Translated into thai boxing, the wider stance definitely assists me with throwing and checking leg kicks, cause I never favored them previously.
