About HowTo Boxing
The basic boxing stance is supposed to be easy for beginners to attack and defend easily. You’re well covered in this stance with both hands ready to attack easily. More advanced fighters will use different boxing stances for more advanced body movements and counter-punching opportunities.
The proper boxing stance – ready to attack or defend
Front toe & back heel on the center line. Dominant hand in back (if you are right-handed, put the right hand in back).
Weight evenly distributed across both legs, knees slightly bent.
Feet diagonal, little wider than shoulder width apart, back heel raised.
Elbows down, hands up.
Head behind your gloves, chin slightly down, eyes see over the gloves.
Relax and breathe!
*** Get used to returning to this position after all boxing movements!
