  • I'm right handed and i fight Southpaw. It just feels right.

  • @Pantera8787 - You are not an exception or weird :) In JeetKuneDo when you are right handed you stand with right hand forward just like southpaw in boxing. Why? Because it make sense - stronger right hand dont need distance way to punch hard. Left hand is weak however in this position have long distance and body rotation to punch hard also. In this way you can punch hard with both hands. So this is pretty clever when someone RIGHT handed boxing as southpow... ;)

  • @viking2001 haha same here. but im left footed and right handed. which foot do you kick with?

  • All of the sudden erryone IS an Oscar de la hoya and manny pacquiao

  • @viking2001 same... Bruce Lee said that it's better to have your stronger weapons closer to the enemy, and hence why in his martial art (Jeet Kune Do) you have your right arm and leg leading... I know there's a difference between JKD and boxing, but that doesn't mean you can't apply the same basics to either one.

  • im a right handed southpaw, however i just implement it into a range of martial arts, im not mma, but i do do mixed styles of ma if that makes sense lol

  • Love when i box southpaw as when i follow jabs weaving into their jab arm classes as a parry and i get another point for a hit:)

  • I fight in both stances but prefer Southpaw and im right handed. I can snap jabs off quicker and more accurately with my right and when its connected it leaves them open for a big left

  • @ felaniz me to man confuses people too

  • im boxing with both stance. im always switch my stance to confused my opponent.

  • I'm left handed but use the orthodox stance.

  • i'm left handed but I don't fight southpaw...its a matter of what feels natural, not what hand you write with...
