Thoughts on Right Handed South Paws?
Hi everyone,
I started training about two years ago. Since starting I always felt much more comfortable in Southpaw stance despite a few trainers telling me to be orthodox.
To me it make a lot of sense to be a right handed southpaw:
- if your jab is your most important weapon, wouldn’t you want it to be your dominant hand? Lead hooks also feel very crisp
- I feel more control with my right lead leg to be able to check
- My kicks always felt strong so my roundhouse with my left is still very strong (perhaps stronger then my right at this point)
- Since most people are orthodox you have a slight advantage since people don’t know how to fight as effectively against a southpaw
