The Set Up

You want your feet spaced shoulder width apart and your left shoulder in front. I like my fighters corner of this less so as their body is exposed and can punch more weight that way. You should not start squared up.

You want the knees bent and elbows resting on the side of your body. (Odds) Feet turned out a little for they are not facing side.

Your hands up and chin tucked. This is a good configuration for boxing position. I will now briefly explain a drill, you can use to learn how to move and keep punching ideal position.

The Box Drill

Boxing begins ideal position to position and ends in an ideal position. The drill box that teaches you how to do that. You'll need to learn to move and stay in your ideal position if you want to punch with authority and not become a target.

To start the drill box, go to your position and move to the right with your foot right to initiate the movement. You end up being in your ideal position. Again, start in the ideal position / end position in an ideal position. Sure keep your left shoulder in front, elbows touching the ribs, hands up and move while on the balls of your feet. You never want square up while moving.

When moving to the left, we begin by moving your left foot with the right following and ending in the correct position. Be sure to keep your left shoulder in front, elbows touching the ribs, hands up and move while being on the edge your feet. You never want to adjust upward during the movement.

Moving forward with the front foot leads while the rear foot follows and you again find the ideal position. Be sure to keep your left shoulder in front, elbows touching the ribs, hands up and move while on the balls of your feet. You never want to square up while moving.

When moving backwards your foot rear driving while your front foot follows, ending in an ideal position. Again … When the execution of drilling box sure to keep your left shoulder in front, elbows touching the ribs, hands up and move while on the balls of your feet. You never want to adjust up during the trip.

Closing Thoughts

The drill box lay the groundwork to move with the proper position and keep it. This power base is lacking in many amateur and even professional fighters today. They punch with their feet wide, or they walk everywhere. It's really disgusting to see.

You can not be taught anything new until you have this basic skill down. This will make you a much better hitter because you punch with optimal leverage. Combatants who do not have to have an attitude generally Boxing through.

You will also be less of a target in the application of this exercise correctly. Many fighters make the mistake of squaring up when moving laterally. A good fighter will see it and benefit from leaving his hands down on you.

The solution? Do it right!
