Is there such a thing as "the wrong" stance in boxing? I know people always say you'll get into your own style but I thought stances were pretty much standardised by now.
I ask because I'm getting into boxing and I'm a southpaw, my stance is exactly like pic related but I have my right hand (leading hand) on top and my left hand covering my body. In all pictures of this type of stance they seem to never have their leading hand on top, always at the bottom. This stance is what I feel comfortable with and it is lent from my karate background except being more compact obviously. I hunch my right shoulder to cover my chin on the right and have my right hand just a bit to the left of my chin to quickly block any punches coming from my left.
I've tried doing the peek-a-boo and the standard stances but they've all felt vulnerable, especially for my body, but as soon as I went into this stance it felt really comfortable and most importantly natural.
I don't have a gym atm so I'm only able to shadow box so I can't really tell if this is effective. That's pretty much why I'm asking here.
Nah, even going no guard can work. It depend of yourself and your opponent. You style is okay but you should try to box in other stance to learn how to use them even if your not confortable this it.

Okay, let's break it down.
The basic boxing stance is good, but quite simple. A well versed martial artist can pick holes in it all damn day. The following stances which I shall list and name are the more advanced ones that I have been able to apply to my boxing - I get a few raised eyebrows here and there, but believe me, it's worth it!
From left to right, top to bottom:
Open Chai (great for defending low kicks)
Forward Tiger (pressure fighting)
Startled Swan (defensive)
Waning Chai
Uchi Geri
Power Stance (I don't know the proper name, sorry)
Startled Cat
Readying Shaolin attack from Above (excellent for grappling prep)
Startled Tiger
Hope that helps!

What is your end game? what do you hope to provide us with?

He's mind broken since we found out even niggers would touch his "lady", Alison
>>756050
Ignore this faggot. He's just trolling as me.
In all seriousness as long as the rules keep evolving to favor either offense or defense the ideal stance will keep changing. Boxing has a purposely limited moveset that creates some unique situations which in turn create unique fighting stances (the philly shell for example). So as long as the game keeps evolving the "ideal" stance will change.
However, you can't go wrong with the orthodox one everyone starts off with then modifies. Even Mayweather goes back to it when he feels really pressured.
>>756251
It'd be pretty stupid to judge his fighting prowess with just a single gif,
>>756050
>no defense is the best defense
>>756252
You must be new here.

>>Implying I'm wrong
>>756302
Everybody knows you don't know shit, dude.
>>756305
So me saying that the orthodox boxing stance being reliable, everyone starts with it in boxing then modifies it, and that there's no "best" boxing stance because of the evolving rules of the sport and the general method of development is all wrong because ... ?
>>756305
No u don't know shit, dude...that's probably why you don't propose something better
>>756305
I mean, come on, cut me some slack. Like, I get I have a bad rep here, but look at that infographic I posted. All sorts of stances. What is the problem?
>>756503
I'm starting to think the real Wu became an hero months ago and now it's just a name we all use, like Pomf.
>>756503
Ignore him, he's some idiot mocking me.
>>756503
Additionally, those names were a mockery of Hung Gar. Some of them were in goddamn Japanese. If you're going to mock me, at least do it right.
>>756439
Because you said it. Even if something was previously right it becomes wrong because it was tainted by your idiocy.
>>756596
Pfft OK pal. What are you, 12?
Boxing, wrestling, judo, may thai, and bjj are the most effective martial arts.
TMAs are typically poorly taught and due to that fact generally far less useful in a fight.
Are you done being retarded now or did I just flip /asp/ on its head because it's a meme to hate posts with my name attached?
>>756625
>did I just flip /asp/ on its head
No, because we all know you don't actually believe that.
It would be like Hitler changing his mind and saying the Jews are pretty cool and that he doesn't like scat porn.
>>756596
I laughed friend. Thanks.
>>756031
Yeah it's wrong because if you jab, your left hand is gonna be too low to protect your face. When you box using these guards you always have to bring back your hands to your face when you punch or else you'll get knocked out
>>756031
by stance do you mean how to hold your guard? because in my book, the stance determines how the feet are positioned. guard =/= stance, at least thats how i learned it. with that being said, i think the rear hand should always be right on the cheek/chin on the same side as your rear hand (in your case the left), elbow relaxed as close as possible to your body
also if your are fairly new to boxing, the basic guard needs to be learned at first before going on and trying other things like philly shell etc, since its the most reliable in terms of safety imo and you can always come back to it if things don't work out in the middle of a bout
but after all its important with what you feel safe with in the ring and if you think you have the reaction time and calmness in the ring to pull off guards that leave you open like the one you described, go for it
>>756689
That stance uses the shoulder roll to deflect the jab and create a counter opportunity with the right. While it's not optimal for every situation, it's highly effective when used right. Guys like Mayweather use it to tremendous succes.
>>756635
Again, you're being childish. I posted some statements that you admit were correct, then declared them wrong because of the source, then declared another statement made as disingenuous to move the goalposts of your initial claim.
Tell me then, what is the best fighting stance for boxing since you're insisting that there is one and that it isn't the orthodox stance.
>>756839
The stance I take while deepthroating Andy the Handy with the Nine Inch Dandy, ;)
>>756942
Sick burn yo. Was it worth typing out that you take cock to try and make me mad?
>>756942
Andy the Handy pays me a visit sometimes. He's big girthy cock fits so nicely into my bum. As he's gently penetrating into me, he whispers sweet nothings into my ear, such as "take it bitch" and "you got a perdy mouth" When he fills me with his love, I then deepthroat him, careful to like my shit off his dick because I never wipe, or take care of my overall hygiene. But Andy doesn't care. He loves me just the way I am, even if he doesn't say it
>>756839
>Again
You're arguing with multiple anons.
That's the only post I made in this thread until now.
>since you're insisting that there is one and that it isn't the orthodox stance.
I'm not insisting anything.
>>756689
The shoulder is there to protect the face.
And he can still throw a hook/shovel hook to the body or upper cut without bringing his guard back up. And the upper cut is great to set up a straight or hook from the rear hand.
>>756942
>jitz
Disgusting.
>>756995
That kick is piss poor at best. That shitty jab thrown might as well be jazz hands. If he felt that it was worthy enough to post on a board for scrutiny, that probably is his best effort.
>>757012
I think the best part of this is that whoever posted it obviously put a lot of thought and dedication to visualize that kind of gay sex and wants to act like I'M the fag.
