Lol true

Left-hand dominant boxer here (peek-a-boo guard). I was trained in southpaw stance by my trainers, approx. 6-7 months. I recently decided to go orthodox. What I noticed is that my jab was so much faster and stronger and my hooks felt sooo much heavier, like miles apart. Also I can protect my liver better, since it's now on my back foot (right side of the body). Switching stances to create more angles has now become much more easier. I guess what Mike's trying to say is something along the lines of "learn the basics first, then start experimenting". I agree with that. Training "the traditional way" really helped me develop my weak hand before deciding to switch stances. Fun fact! : Engage your-self in soccer/basketball and play with both feet/hands, as a side activity. Great tool for stamina + increasing your weak's foot/hand power. Developing ambidextry/ambipedality has really help my weaak hand's with power and my feet with mobility! Being doing it already for 2 months, and i've seen moderate to big improvements

I trained orthodox for years until I trained with a JKD group and they suggested I switch. Was awkward at first, putting my power in front, but it improved my sparring so much. Now, I can fight in either stance and adapt perfectly, but I always start southpaw.

Good video. I have this same bad habit. My first arts were wrestling and then stick-fighting (Latosa Escrima). In both I used a right lead. Latosa was also a boxer, and taught boxing style power generation, but when teaching weapon use, we always trained "power-side forward" (right lead for right handers). Makes perfect sense holding a weapon ...so that became my "norm". Maybe like Icy Mike says here, I would have been better off learning conventional, left lead first, but I'm old as F so it's too late now. BTW Rene Latosa just passed on. RIP coach.

I think this might apply different if you're long. Since I know the reason I do southpaw as a righty is that I want to put more pressure on my jab to make it more dangerous for shorter guys to get on my inside. I think you're right in that beginners will definitely do that by instinct since you'd be better at defense with your dominant hand. But if you're long that's a pretty decent strategy since if your opponent respects your jab they won't be running in to throw haymakers.

They can use the good technique to train their dumb hand and foot for switching stances later. I'm shocked to finally find someone teaching others to fight from either side though. I've trained, spared and rolled with belt holders from multiple tournaments even the big tournament and former professional boxers and I find it rare to see someone who acknowledges that switching stances is something that is to be working towards.

I'm right handed but i broke it really badly after falling off the swings and it's so much weaker than my left. My left is more natural to punch and do forced work and my right is a little on the flexible and better at doing more complex stuff. So which stance should i use?

Not to mention some people find it easier to move of there strong leg (lead leg dominance) and many believe movement to be more important than power and lastly your dominant eye can play a huge role in which stance is better for you as it effects how you see punches coming which is crucial for defence I understand your points but think it would be interesting to see your counter arguments to mine thanks.

Did you listen to anything he said?

After watching this video I just have a question to ask. But firstly just want to say to take comfort in the fact that I actually watched the video the whole way through, as it's clear many people didn't as they would make points that you had already addressed. My question to you is whether or not you think in my case I should switch back to orthodox, as I have been using southpaw for a while now. Basically, although I am not ambidextrous, I am cross dominant (or mixed-handedness as some call it), basically meaning unlike ambidextrous where people can use each hand as effectively for everything, there are certain things I can do with one hand that I can't do with the other. For example, I write with my right hand (therefore I am right handed), but I use my left hand for almost everything else. I use it for scissors, and almost all sport related activities like tennis. It seems to be more natural for me to use when it involves strength. I originally started Orthodox, but started training Southpaw and found it more natural (bear with me) not for the reasons you said, but because I could do more powerful hooks with my left. So my question is if you think I should continue fighting that way, or if you think I should force myself to go back to Orthodox? I would appreciate any tips on this assuming this comment doesn't get buried. Thanks in advance :)

HArd2hurt, may i ask you, given that so many southpaws are up and around in ufc level, and some are even mixed, and there are lots who win fights, do you think this statements can no longer be perceived as likely true or valid?

Definitely a right handed southpaw here. No doubt about it. I skateboard goofy, box southpaw, grapple/clinch/defend takedowns with right hand forward, and write with my right hand.

This video is about beginners who refuse to attempt orthodox stance for a significant amount of time because of their “natural inclination.” Not just closed minded, but intentionally ignorant as well. You are making his point for him.

I am right handed, and grew up fighting orthodox. Then I got stabbed 5 times in the left side of my body when I was 16. Almost overnight I involuntarily switched to south paw. It was weird because the transition felt completely natural and instant. As if I had been a south paw all my life. And it worked both ways. Orthodox felt foreign to me. I always grew up batting left. My dad is left handed, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it

Hey so I'm wondering what your opinion is for someone like me, im left hand dominate, I used to switch hands every time the pen came off the paper, then it became the every letter I would switch hands, now its just purely left handed. I kick a soccer ball or whatever with my tight leg, throw a baseball with my left hand, throw a frisbee with my right hand, high jump pushing my right leg off the ground so from the left side of the map, I cut my good with fork in left hand knife in right but when buttering something always use left hand to butter. I'm currently practicing south paw (I can feel more comfortable with either but I think I should be south paw cause I'm left handed and it would also give me an edge) Edit: I'm more asking honestly not trying to claim I'm one over the other

I’m right handed and “naturally” fight left handed forward as it makes much more sense to have power coming from farther away, however, fighting southpaw has proven to be much more effective for me. So idk about this chief.

Its odd too because this is a very blanketed video Im ambidextrous because I trained dance for 13 years while im technically right handed. Sensei is left handed, so when I spar with martial arts I switch but if Im doing only boxing I box southpaw, but can switch. It depends on training in boxing as well as previous training in other sports. Sometimes people enter a class and are not a blank slate.

I'm a right handed southpaw, but my left hand is way more powerful than my right hand. Am i considered left handed southpaw now? I write with my left hand, but in other stuffs, i do it with my right hand. When i play tennis, i never mind switching my stances, although, i know my left swings are better than my right ones, but i feel more comfortable with my right. I'm confused.

I have 2 questions and would like your answers . Question one , will your left jab evert catch up to the speed and force of your right hand . Question 2 in a street fight does it not make more sense to jab with the hand that can do the most force . I cant fight , but I’ve been in 2 . Both standing right hand south paw . I threw a right hand jab and seemingly broke his nose and knocked one his big teeth out . And he just fell down holding his face and i ran away . Second fight i hit him in the face with the jab and he stumbled came back and i did it again then i ran away . Does it not make more sense use the fastest punch to do the most damage in a non sport format . My assumption is that if i threw a left jab i would brake my wrist and then they would pause for a second . Start laughing very loudly at my attempt of a punch and then hit me in the face . Or swing while I’m punching and knock me out because my left hand is so useless that it’s almost like I’m just putting my hand out and blocking my Vision putting myself off balance “ will left jab catch up to right jab “ “ is powerful faster jab better for untrained nonsport fight

I feel more comfortable having my right hand forward and I started out like that and still fight that way 5 years later. It’s not wrong or bad.

The only reason I use “right handed southpaw” is because my right roundhouse feels really awkward and I don’t want to keep using the switch kick every time if anything my punches feel better in orthodox should I switch to orthodox?

Thanks for breaking this down, I was told I wasn’t a true southpaw because I don’t throw my left hand as often but that’s due to my left shoulder slightly injured. I’m left handed and southpaw since it’s right for me, thanks for breaking this down because I was thinking about trying Orthodox since I’m not nearly experienced on orthodox and I rely on my footwork mostly and my left hand but I can’t throw it because injury. I’m left handed and I step forward with my right leg, I’m having trouble trying Orthodox because I want to be the most well rounded I can

As someone that has had 4 pro fights. The southpaw stance is a great way to start the fight if you know your opponent is technical. it's nice to have the surprise factor when you switch to orthodox.

Thanks for all the great content here at Hard2Hurt it's much appreciated especially when I am having talks with my less experienced friends and they sound like you when you're mimicking the key board cowboys.

I'm southpaw not because of my hands but because of my legs. Having my right leg forward is much more comfortable I tend to fall over my self if pressured when fighting orthodox. But ig that means I should practice more orthodox

What are your thoughts on this: I’m 6’8”. I figure that if I need to throw fisticuffs in a self defense situation, I’ll have better luck with my strong hand jab, jab, jabbing, from distance, instead of trying to set up combinations. I have only minimal boxing skill. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

As a lefty I can confirm that we pick up more dexterity in our right hand making adjustments to a right-handed world, but most of us aren't ambidextrous, And yes I can swap back and forth between orthodox and southpaw but that from practice and being nice to confused sparring partners

I write with my left hand and kick a ball with my left leg, but I do everything else with my right hand (throw a ball, drink etc) and it feels more natural standing orthodox, would you recommend I stick with ortho or stand southpaw?

I'm a competitive athlete who'd done karate for 17 years or so (we used to learn a technique from both stances but in fighting I've mostly been orthodox, occasionally switching when it feels right for my offence) The thing is, when I came to a kickboxing gym and they started to teach me their way to punch, i really struggled with the form of my jab and hooks, even the rear straight. But whenever I stood southpaw, it all came out naturally. With time it stopped being a thing, all it took is some experimenting and I was able to fathom the technique) Practicing at home also made me realize that my legs are probably of a slightly different length, the overall alignment of my body is not perfect, the condition of my joints and tendons adds up to this. All this really affects the way I move. Not arguing anything, just adding to the discussion))

Any pursuit really.

I come from a JKD, eskrima, and silat background. For the most part we trained southpaw first because A.) our fine motor skills are more developed in our right hand which lends itself well to trapping, parrying and other movements that require more finesse B.) it's the hand that's going to be holding the melee weapon, and C.) to utilize footwork against orthodox fighters. We treated the left hand as the shield and General purpose slugging weapon when finesse wasn't called for.

When I first walked into a kickboxing club aged nine the guy never asked me was I left handed. I've only ever dalbbled since the age of 14 on and off but looking to get back into it properly at 32 and training on my own and with a few friends during lockdown and I find it impossible in South paw. I'm told my jab and lead hook are fantastic and while my right hand isnt great there's nothing wrong with it either, is it worth changing back?

I'm a little weird i write with my right and throw, hit and shoot left handed. I've been training for a few months as a southpaw should i look at switching to orthodox? Or continue the southpaw?

I feel like he hates southpaws

Hey right handed southpaw here and can fight orthodox - and I agree with you entirely. I actually learned Orthodox first and once I got good with my natural fighting style and defence I started to work on my southpaw then switched as my primary stance due to it becoming more effective for me. Right handed southpaw is hard. Very very hard.. Right handed southpaws don't do 1-2 combos, they tend to do 1-2-1 combos (power jab, cross, power jab) and tend to fight with a leading hook which is very hard to catch a skilled opponent with. You need to be careful against infighters as your left cross can be very weak and you won't generate enough power in your jab to really push them back. It's very hard to counter if you are a right handed southpaw, to me it's a very offensive stance - You can apply pressure to the opponents lead hand but if you start throwing combos that are easy to read and get caught on the counter especially against another southpaw I find. You need to apply constant pressure and it can be tiring but I've been told it's very difficult to defend against if done correctly.

What if I am "right handed" in that my right hand is my most dexterous hand that I use to write, eat, etc., however, my entire left side has been stronger for my entire life? When I played baseball, I would pitch with my left arm, but when I was up to bat I would swing from my right side for accuracy. When I snowboard, I ride with my right foot forward. My right side is infinitely more flexible, dexterous, and double jointed than my left, but my left has always been stronger, sturdier, and it's even slightly longer and has more reach than my right. Should I box in a regular stance instead of a southpaw? My problem is that when I'm in a regular stance, I feel like I get way less power from my right, whereas when I'm in southpaw it feels like my stronger arm is in the rear, even though it's not my "dominant" side. My "dominant" side is also my weaker and more flexible side.
