How To Start.

Keep your feet space shoulder width apart while turning your left shoulder to the front of your body. I like my fighters angled this way as less of their body is exposed and they can punch with more leverage this way. You must not start squared up.

Keep the knees bent and your elbows tucked in the side of your body protecting your ribs. (Ribs) Feet turned out a bit so they're not facing sideways.

Your hands are up and chin tucked. This is a proper setup for boxing stance. I'm going to teach you a great drill that teaches you how to move while keeping an ideal punching stance.

The Box Drill

Boxing stance starts in ideal position and ends in ideal position. The box drill teaches you how to do this. You must learn how to move well and stay in your ideal punching stance if you want to punch with scary authority and not become a target.

To begin the box drill, get into your stance and move to the right with your right foot initiating the movement. You end the drill in ideal punching stance. Again, start in ideal stance/position end in ideal stance. Be sure to keep your left shoulder in front, elbows touching the ribs, hands up and you move while being on the balls of your feet. It is a big mistake to square up while moving.

When moving to the left, you begin by moving your left foot, with the right following and ending in proper stance. Be sure to keep your left shoulder in front, elbows touching the ribs, hands up and you move while being on the balls of your feet. It is a big mistake to square up while moving.

Moving forward the front foot leads while the back foot follows and you again end in ideal stance. Be sure to keep your left shoulder in front, elbows touching the ribs, hands up and you move while being on the balls of your feet. It is a big mistake to square up while moving.

When moving backwards your back foot leads while your front foot follows, ending in ideal stance. Again...When performing the box drill be sure to keep your left shoulder in front, elbows touching the ribs, hands up and you move while being on the balls of your feet. It is a big mistake to square up while moving.

Closing Thoughts

The box drill will lay the foundation of moving with proper stance and keeping it. This basic skill is lacking in many amateur and even professional fighters today. Many Fighters punch with their feet too wide or too close together limiting their balance. It's really disgusting to see.

You cannot be taught anything new until you have this basic skill down. This drill will make you a MUCH harder puncher, because you will punch with optimal leverage and force. Fighters who lack potent power usually have a weak boxing stance.

You will also be less of a target when implementing this drill properly. Many fighters make the mistake of squaring up when moving laterally. A good fighter will see this and capitalize on it by letting his hands go on you.

The solution? Do it right!
