    agreed. i trained boxing for a few yrs and reached a but into muay thai when i had the chance. my boxing coach, former olympian alternate, was always very keen on having one stance and sticking with it. most ppl say the same thing, but i tuely believe working both stances is the way to be, everyone has a strong side, but why not make the weak side stronger too? i find myself starting orthodox and lettin my opponent feel comfortable, and then when i feel hes figuring me out, i switch stance and constantly circle outside his jab, often land rear round kick to inside leg or body, or left cross or combo of both, w,e works. anyways i say use that strong right jab 1000000 times per spar/fight, but get ur left up there too, and get used to switching stances when it suits u best. thats just my insight tho

    also i forgot to mention, if the guy is a lefty, then i usually start lefty, and witch to orthodox when hes figuring me out. same as before, just corresponding stance with his

    Im gonna go with learn to box orthodox and go from there. I think any fighter can benefit from pure boxing, and since your right handed, the other guys might be right. Try switching and working on creating a boxing base from orthodox. Step out of your comfortzone until you feel comfortable then make your decision. My left jab and hook are way stronger now and were built from scratch and my defense and counters are strong as well. In my opinion it is all about footwork. Takes forever to get, but when you do(which i havent) everything slows down and your defense will become easier giving you more confidence. Then you have the option of hitting them with a completely different style left handed.

    It is way more practical to switch in mma than boxing. But being able to box your ass off in mma is never a bad thing.

    Try bas rutten's work out, I used to have the same problem bc my dad taught me boxing and he is left handed so thats how i picked it up. Make sure you throw ur left jab and hook with intense hip motion. Develop your lat muscles and also your triceps and trap muscles. This will make you devastating either way, and also will increase coordination and footwork, providing you with new weapons. Also try pulling ur right hand in a reverse motion away from ur left jab to develop hip motion.

    22-28 of January? We've actually been talking about getting up there. Really want to but with Naga Feb 12 I'll have to check my funds. It can definitely be a possibility. Actually it sounds exactly like what I need before conquering Naga. Stayed in a borderline crack hotel last time so probably just a repeat of that, like 40 bucks a night. Yeah dude, everyone down here is fucking PUMPED about Auburn...We'll not about half the bammers. At buffalo wild wings last night I almost got into it with a bunch or them for yelling "roll ducks." I was like "that makes no fucking sense, ducks float, they swim, they waddle. They don't fucking roll!" Either way as a lifelong Auburn fan I'm hella pumped. Given the current state of Auburns basketball situation I'm not following too much but can emphasize with your situation. Either way man, how much would it be to train up there for a couple days? If I'm just up there i'd wanna get some 2 and 3 times a day if possible so i'm not just twiddling my thumbs in the day.
