    When you said "sit back" and then you did this little dance, honestly it made so much sense. Even when dancing you don't lean forward. You have so much more balance amd mobility at the hips like that - resulting in better slipping and more power. Thank you once again 🙏

      Funny you say that, I have often thought that if boxing was masculine its feminine counterpart would be dancing, and I begin to believe that balance is necessary to understand anything truly. I wanting to start dancing for this reason but not really finding many instructional here on RUclips. But to confirm my theory, the need to dance with a partner and solo, Lomenchenkos father forced him to dance at one point, telling him it was essential to boxing. If anyone has exceptional footwork, angles and strategy in boxing, its Lomo (even though I seen he just lost recently).
      Marvin, if you happen to see this, I was curious if you knew any fighters to recommend studying. Your style is very unique, and I think seeing things applied against you're more typical fighter would give alot of clicks and "aha " moments. I know you've mentioned savate in general in one of your video.
      Thanks, take care gents.

    Closing your eyes is a good trick to find balance but I don't think thats why fighters lean forward. It's putting the bait out there so you can counter hit. It also allows you to do a full weave back without having to step back. Leaning forward works great for guys with fast movement and hands, many champions do it. If you're not that fast I recommend you don't do it.

      @@333mike2 once you get your stance down the next thing you'd wanna do is yeah practice with a friend but not spar freely, a good drill for footwork and stance is to have a friend and just move around together, in and out left and right and circular motions without punching and just focus on your feet. Then just make it light jab sparring when your comfortable, this drill will help you with stance n footwork, it will help you find your range quicker too when you add the jab. And just slowly build up from there to straight punches only that will test your guard abit but that's alright you need to get used to holding shape when getting hit and not breaking stance, make certain rounds straights or curved punches only, jab only, lead hand only, just so you get a feel of how to defend certain punches without being thrown right into sparring without it. But if your a month in master the basics, work on your footwork, rotation on your punches, work on your jab and different types, and most of all stay consistent.
