Southpaw Boxing Stance - basic technique for left-handers

[@Goldfishbites]

It's about time someone made a video for southoaw boxers.. a lot of boxing videos out there are bias towards Southpaw .. it's always about how to defeat a southpaw .. it's very frustrating...

[@expertboxing]

hahahhaha, so true! we'll have to even up the odds for you

[@Zylbtw]

Bro same thing with tall fighters 😭

[@Robin_8Bit]

I'm left handed but my teacher learned me in the right handed stance because I was scared somebody would judge me back then so I'm here to correct myself

[@yunggk7776]

Same orthodox really holds you back when your naturally left handed

[@yunggk7776]

@Aloe Jae I'm just going to assume you're joking and I give you an intelligent response because people are definitely born left-handed I am one of those people

[@yunggk7776]

@Aloe Jae Are you trolling or are you legitimately dumb if you don't answer seriously I'll know if your still living with your parents or not

[@Reputationbruh]

cool

[@charliemancuso6980]

@@yunggk7776that’s exactly what I’ve been feeling too. I’m ambidextrous but left hand dominant and I boxed for 6 years orthodox. I’m going to try to unlearn everything and start at the basics to learn southpaw fundamentals.

[@Frp_xbox]

Southpaw boxer is dominating the boxing industry now... If you love southpaw boxer give a thumbs up 👍

[@Twinsuns2187]

Very nice and informative video well done. South paw alway felt the correct stance and my knee strikes are so much more powerful coming from the south paw stance.....I do everything else write handed

[@expertboxing]

thank you and glad you like it!

[@rainbowbrony12]

I’m actually ambidextrous, but I do Southpaw because I hit way harder with my left arm. That extra power really helps me out.

[@chickenoodle3397]

I never knew how to throw a punch but this was always the stance I went in naturally.

I use the southpaw because it's the style I got used too.

[@1500rockoutjock]

I'm a predominantly right hander i do everything with my right hand but for some reason I natural go into southpaw stance an its comfortable asf i actually get better results southpaw fighting orthodox for me is uncomfortable

[@expertboxing]

If you’re a new fighter, putting the right front feels good because you’re still a one-armed fighter. Once you have 2 good arms, you may prefer your dominant hand in the back. But hey, keep doing whatever you want. As long as you’re winning, no one can say you’re wrong.

[@Imjustspeakingmymind]

Same I feel faster with southpaw but I'm right handed

[@AlliyahMarco]

Same 😭

[@Skimaskerbate]

It could also be a liability if your rear hand is not as dominant as your lead, for eg: if you’re a right handed south paw you may be inclined to throw jabs with the right alot especially if your rear isn’t packing enough power to hurt your opponent, so it’s not about feeling comfortable it’s about commitment you’d need to be able revert your dominance from your right hand to your left to be efficient enough in this boxing world and I.e being south paw doesn’t give you an automatic advantage over any opponents it’s not about your stance or your own comfort it’s all about technique.

[@MichaelImo]

probably has to do with leg dominance... we tend to only focus on arm dominance but we also have a dominant leg and your stance might favor pushing off your dominant leg.

[@donnieanddad2012]

[@its_just_marvlus]

Im not naturally southpaw but because i injured my right shoulder so im learning southpaw and keeping it that way bc i know my right too much

I absolutely hate fighting southpaws lol

[@expertboxing]

Hahahah, I know exactly what you mean!

[@kailondillon1134]

Why ?

[@markmessi9020]

Just turn you jabs into left hooks about a third of the time. It's so easy to throw left hooks against a southpaw

Great video thanks

[@FBillz]

So I'm a lefty but when it comes to baseball and boxing my left foot being lead feels better in the front. But I also unkownly switch stances a lot. All ik is I have a powerful jab and the lose straight right surprises me every time when i let it go. It's only useful in fighting and THATS it.

[@deb4594]

Same tho and I don't know why, my coach tell me that I should stop switching stance in sparring but I feel like I am comfortable switching stance and also I can throw a proper punch on either a southpaw or orthodox stance.

[@ImInsider300]

fr i fight this way too i’m able too, so i train like crawford feel like my coach is gonna hate me when i go to an actual gym 😂

[@haji5140]

I heard that your dominant foot should always be behind, is that right?

[@expertboxing]

In conventional boxing wisdom, yes.

[@Qmim]

It feels so wierd. Ive been right handed my whole life but there are certain things i can do with my left hand better. It feels like my body is divided since i feel left handed but im right footed.

[@expertboxing]

Go to a gym and the coach there will tell you which one is you. Whichever hand you write with, put that hand in the back…that’s your stance.

[@Englshman1970]

Weight on the front foot ? This is confusing i thought you place more weight on the back foot .Also by leaning forward your offering your head up ?

[@baughtown5596]

I’m left handed but for some reason I feel comfortable standing like a righty when I fight . A lot of people I had fought threw out the hears I had always knockout with my strong left hand jab . Is that normal ?

[@raptorfn7875]

Me too man

[@baughtown5596]

@@raptorfn7875 Waow I thought I was the only one 😆it has work for me from the past experiences times I had fought in the streets. How do u throw them hands when u fight ?

[@unities9260]

I'm the same way

[@expertboxing]

It’s normal for beginners to put the strong hand in front because they’re still one-armed fighters. When you’re a 1-arm fighter, you have no skills or experience and leave your dominant arm in front where it has a better chance of scoring. But once you have two well-trained arms, you realize the front arm is better for weaker “setup” punches with the weak arm and the back arm is better for stronger “knockout” punches with the strong arm. Listen to your goddamn coach.

[@jamestoalan3274]

Same here!...

[@silvernightsaberultra5998]

I'm lefty but the orthodox stance is more comfortable and I can balance it easily but that stance you said to use is not syncing with me also sometimes in orthodox I can't perform the hook after cross it makes me like freeze for 0.73 seconds I just measured it with my camera and even I perform it there is a high chance I will fall any ideas to fix this

[@expertboxing]

If you can’t hook after the cross, you’re falling through your cross. But I’d have to see video to know what’s really going on.

[@MeruutoTWO]

Wait so I can use both right handed southpaw and left handed southpaw because I'm ambidextrous?

I'm left handed and just started trying southpaw cause I've always fought in a right hand stance I wanna do southpaw and it's mad uncomfortable so I ask should I pursue south or just stick to what I'm used to what would be the big difference and will it screw me up in a fight if I fight dominant hand front

[@Rodmoraga]

I am an orthodox fighter, very sluggish, How do you fight fast fighters.

[@Slick8787]

im a lefty but when i used to box my trainer told me that i jab with my right hand and my left hand was my power arm so i want to how to fight in a southpaw position

[@Abdollah.]

I'm left yanded but i naturally go with the right handéd stance wtf

[@expertboxing]

Many beginners put their strong hand in front. But a typical boxing coach will have you put the strong hand in the back.

[@CRUSHBLOX]

Hey im a new boxer i learn boxing via by mobile and internet and im a lefty i watched the other vids to but this one was so simple for the southpaws , but i have a question my lefts are very fast and strong but my rights are weak and slow can someone help me w/ what's wrong w/ smth in my position or like some drilles

@@expertboxing thanks for the word, appreciate it . still some drill that can make my right fast and strong .

[@hamzataj9451]

I am left footed but right handed, I have practiced kickboxing in orthodox before but I think southpaw suits better as I would have a precise jabs with my right and a tank of a leg at the back. I need practice tho, I don’t have good balance or movement in southpaw

[@theo2220]

Why are you learning forward in the stance? I was taught to have my weight central or towards the back. Is this forward stance just for south paw?

[@expertboxing]

Just a little bit. But yes…you can try center as well. 100% for sure not leaning back.

[@Imjustspeakingmymind]

I'm not left handed but I just like my right leg in front it makes me comfortable for some reason maybe cause it's my right side which is my stronger side of my body

[@expertboxing]

Beginners are one-handed so they might feel better with the dominant hand in front. But once you develop 2 hands, it’s probably better with the dominant hand in the back. You can read my guide about why that is.

[@gavinmoody5678]

I'm left handed through and through a gun is the only thing I use from the right. I do that so shells don't kick me in the neck or face. I jab with my right and also use my right as a measuring stick. I could never imagine getting off a quick left handed jab. I keep my left drawn back so far that if I ever tried to jab with it anyone could see it coming a year away.

[@gavinmoody5678]

Also want to add I could never in my life imagine trying to fight from orthodox I can't torque as much power out my torso and hips drawn back with my right. I no nothing about boxing but figured that another reason you didn't really mention for having left foot and arm drawn back for left handers is because of weight behind your hit. You can literally throw your body weight into a hit but you better connect or you're exposed to the whole world and then some.

[@expertboxing]

The more your left sucks, the more it belongs in front. If your left isn't fast enough to jab, it definitely won't be fast enough as a rear cross. You shouldn't be "throwing" your weight into any shot, to the point that you risk being countered. If you don't know boxing, go to a gym and let a coach correct you instead of you trying to correct yourself with self-made theories.

[@altyt2071]

Before i learned boxing i would naturally jab first with my right since it was natural but after my friend taught me the proper way for right handed, whenever i go southpaw it feels unnatural

[@expertboxing]

Yeaup!!!

[@deb4594]

I'm a southpaw and I trained wushu since when I was 14 y/o but the reason why I'm here b'coz I feel like I am more capable in orthodox stance than Southpaw I don't know why.

[@expertboxing]

my guess why you like your strong hand in front is because you never trained in a boxing gym and developed your weaker hand to be a functional weapon.

If people have a high tight guard then yes. He’s not a boxer he’s a kickboxer but Giorgio Petrosyan A 104-3 Kickboxer He’s the goat. He’s a southpaw and he does it all the time. It easily gets people off balance too.

[@matthewdavidson9472]

Pushing people to make them off balance might be illegal in the amateurs. In pro boxing, it's a good tactic you do it when you're posting your jab. It's good against primarily power punchers as it throws their momentum off, and they can't sit down on punches.

[@flowstanzabeats6990]

I’m right handed but I feel so much more comfortable in a southpaw stance. Can someone help me make sense of it ? 😂

[@expertboxing]

Most beginners are because their non-dominant arm feels much too weak to land anything. And their dominant arm feels too far and untrained to land anything from the rear as well. Especially if they’re naturally slow…so then the only way they ever land anything is putting their dominant arm in front.

[@reygantorreon157]
