Should i be a southpaw???

[blue63]

I'm right handed and used to stand orthodox in HS wrestling but once I started training MT/Kickboxing aboot 4 yrs ago I transitioned to southpaw.


Our Gym also does the stand with your feet together and then lean and use the foot you first step with as your lead foot.. but more importantly, do whatever you feel comfortable with and what your coaches think you should.

Yeah...then his opponent moves into a piss weak cross, realises it isn't a threat, and fights with more confidence.

Also nevermind the fact that to even get to a level where you may confuse your opponent, you've got to completely relearn everything backwards, this video makes it seem like it's something you can do in a weekend, it isn't. So while your other teammates are getting fights and actually competing, you're still working on a "trick" to use on future opponents.
