Circling??

[younghypnotiq]

i was taught when circling to move the right foot first when going right, but i was watching some video and it said to move your left first. does anyone else do that?

[austyn]

If your movin right move right foot first, cuz i'm pretty sure u leave urself open for a kidney shot

[isaac11]

your leading foot goes first

[JMonster]

i dont' knwo what they say nemore, but i know in older days they used to say to move away from ur opponents power hand, or power shots. so if they're right handed, ur supposed to move away from their right hand

The point is to not cross your feet up. So if you are moving to your right. (considering you are right handed) then you'll want to step with your right first. And if you are moving to your left, you'll want to step with your left first to maintain your balance.

I was always taught to go forward push off your back leg ,to go back push off youre front ,and side to side just the same push off your left leg to go right and right to go left while all the time not bringing youre legs too close .this is one of the first thing new people are taught in my gym

[BITCH ASS]

Move right, move your right foot, drag your left.

Move left, move your left foot, drag your right.

Don't jump though. Use controlled motion. You have to maintain your energy.

Always be at an angle. It's about balance and angles.


When you move foward, move your lead foot first, followed by your rear and when going backwards, move your rear foot first, followed by your lead.

Always keep an angle on an opponent, and never square up, even if you know you're the stronger guy.

Move right, move your right foot, drag your left.

Move left, move your left foot, drag your right.

Really?I cant imagine being able to move in and out of range quickly like that

[isaac11]

Really?I cant imagine being able to move in and out of range quickly like that

its step and slide and its very easy to move around with

[blan]

its step and slide and its very easy to move around with
yeah it sounds like a more natural way of moving but I just cant imagine getting in and out of range very quickly using that way

[younghypnotiq]

thats what i learned but this video said. if you wan to move right then you take your left foot and try and step on your right then quickly move you rigght foot

[isaac11]

yeah it sounds like a more natural way of moving but I just cant imagine getting in and out of range very quickly using that way

well maybe if you try it and stop complaining you will see that you can do it like nothing

[blan]

its step and slide and its very easy to move around with
the way youve descibed it hes probably propelling off of the left leg taking a small step with it and then moving the right leg after.

Like with any sport, you have the basic rules and then at the higher levels of the game, you have to know when you can get away breaking the rules. Same with boxing, you watch the best footwork in the game, i'm talking PBF, Whitaker, Prince Naseem and Sugar Ray, they do at times cross their feet when evading punches especially. Not something you would teach a beginner

[magnificentdave]

You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out,
You put your right foot in
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about.

[austyn]

Just practice doin that ova and ova

[austyn]

You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out,
You put your right foot in
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about.

Lmao!!! u stupid tart ahahaha!

[younghypnotiq]

austyn you have an AIM? i dont use MSN what is your AIM?

[Bazooka]

if you are circling to your left you move your left foot one step and right foot a half step, if you are circiling to your right move your fight foot one step and your left foot a half step.
in other words if you step to the left start with your left foot first if you move to the right start with your right foot first.
This is so you dont cross your legs in there if you get caught crossing your legs you have no balance and can be knocked down with the lightest of shots, ie Toney being dropped by a jab from Peter.
balance is key, it allows you to move in and out safely and get your punches off with some sort of steam on them. with out balance you cant box.

[younghypnotiq]

another good one was if you watched the hatton castillo fight castillo got knocked down in rd 1(i think or mayby 2) becasue he was off balance

[boxbible]

If you step to the right with your left foot first, you gonna cross your feet. At that instant, you're VERY vulnerable because:

1) if you get hit, you're balance is not strong and you can get pushed over
2) you're not in any position to throw anything if an opening comes up

It's an inefficient way of moving to your right.
