Advanced Boxing Footwork - The Stance Switch

www.myboxingcoa... - I consider the following boxing footwork drill to be something that an intermediate to advanced boxer should build into the skill set.
If you are a regular visitor to the site, and especially if you are a member of The Boxing Training Foundation, you will know that I am pretty fanatical about boxing footwork drills. My years of experience have taught me that they work like a charm and this drill is no different in it’s effectiveness.
When we talk about switching the stance in boxing, most people think purely about switching from orthodox to southpaw and vice versa. That is of course the most obvious stance switch and I will cover it in this video (well I will cover one method of doing it, as with most things in this wonderful world of boxing there are many ways to switch southpaw to orthodox.)
The boxing stance switch that I am going to demonstrate in the video is a very specific type of stance switch - it is a stance switch that is designed specifically for setting up massive hooks and uppercuts. After watching this video and working the drill yourself you will be switching and hitting in Mike Tyson style in no time at all :-)
I will demonstrate two stance switches:
Orthodox to Orthodox
Orthodox to Southpaw
Please post any questions or comments below the article. By the way, the video is 15 minutes long. I know this is a bit lengthy, but I wanted to make sure I got the right level of detail for you

Man this is huge. I've been playing with the stance switch for 5 days now and it's really cool how I can seemlessly find new angles. Also it made me realize why my right hooks and uppercuts never felt as useful as the left. Now I can actually close distance and right hook or whatever from the south paw stance. Very fun.

I have been training boxe for almost 5 years and I had never done this kind of exercises. I mean every one should have all this background before going in a ring. I hope I can improve more watching all your videos. All movements you show are very useful and if well trained the person will be a good boxer. I just would like to see in the end of the video after all technical explanation how it should work in a real situation. I believe it could make easier to apply in a sparring. At least for me. But again congrats for all your videos. I hope you keep doing for a while. I hope I have the opportunitie to training with you one day.

Awesome vid sir! Always wondered how boxers (e.g Mike Tyson) switch stance because most tips that i found always say that you should never switch. Although I do have a question. When you switch from orthodox to southpaw, how do you move away from the opponent, assuming he's able to face you instantly, when your feet are in a different position? And a beginners question(Just started boxing 2 days ago), when you hook using your right hand in an orthodox position, does the left leg need to pivot? if so, at what direction? Many thanks to your awesome tips and videos. P.S. A partner in your videos might help understand how it works in a real fight. (No disrespect meant) Peace!

@myboxingcoach 7 жыл бұрын

No worries, thanks very much. Given you've landed a solid lead hand hook (with the right hand) you could follow up with a back hand (left) and push away with a duck, taking you under any right hand counter from the opponent. There's a bunch of ways, do a bit of problem solving with it :-)

Hey there Fran, I just box for fitness but I feel I should show respect for the art. I find when I get tired I do all sorts of jumping and dancing to get inside the bag and get a jab in. I'm currently remedying this by getting the bag moving in circles then taking my time take a step in, contact and return. Is this the correct way to go about building this skill, if so, should I throw some side steps into the routine. Perhaps, side step, step in, jab, return; then repeat moving in the opposite direction? Thank you for the videos, I'll have them on blast tomorrow in the gym! J
