I'm right handed but started training in Muay Thai as a southpaw to protect an injury. As a result, I've got a right hand that's stronger than my left, a left leg that's stronger than my right, and a wickedly powerful, right hook - left swing kick combo.

Keep your head up, there's a way to spin things to your advantage!

There's nothing magic about the southpaw stance, if you have trouble with it then fight orthodox and learn how to switch kick better.

But my left hand is the big one. I just need to improve my sparring. I need tips.

I'd go southpaw and train each leg to kick.
