A good boxing stance is critical to be effective
in boxing, all right.
There's a couple different ways to execute
the stance.
Terry is going to execute the stance just
like he normally would, and pending upon the
style of the fighter, and how he moves, if
he's a pit bull of a fighter, or German shepherd
of a fighter, all right, a taller fighter,
depends upon how he is going to hold his stance.
But that's your home base, your stance is
everything, all right, and that's where everything
initiates from, and that's where you send
your attacks from, and that's where you come
back to, all right.
So Terry's going to stand for us, in his fighting
stance, you notice his hands are up, his elbows,
there's no space between his chest and the
elbows.
His elbows are essentially relaxed on his
rib cage, and his hands are on the perfect
position to defend himself.
He's not giving us much target area, all right.
His back feet are perfect.
Some fighters might want to step back a little
bit more with the back foot, lower the back
foot just a little bit more.
Even though Terry is, it appears he is flat-footed
at times, go flat-footed, most of his weight
is on the front ball of that back foot.
In this case, I want him to elevate his back
foot just a little bit, because some fighters
prefer that to get more of a load and a pop
on the right hands, all right, but that's
a perfect fighting stance, and that's our
home base, and that's where you work from.
