Boxing Footwork – 5 Things to Know and Try

In this video you are going to learn some very simple principles about your boxing footwork and your boxing stance.

However, when considered in the right way, these principles will allow you to be adventurous and versatile when making the trade-off between power-based fighting and being mobility based fighting.

There are 5 things that we cover about the boxing stance:

1. The relative position of your feet
2. The angle of the front foot
3. The posture of the front foot (up or flat)
4. The posture of the rear foot (up or flat)
5. The angle of the rear foot.

Two of these things are absolute, in my opinion non-negotiable, if you want to maximise the effectiveness of your boxing footwork.

The other three of these things give you the ability to vary your stance depending upon the type of boxing style that you want to adopt.

And bear in mind, versatility is a huge advantage to the boxer, and that versatility can show itself by change style from minute-to-minute and even second-to-second.

So, think about these five boxing footwork things. Experiment and try out new configurations to see how things feel and what they do for you.

Cheers
