This might be a stupid question considering how long I've been training boxing (10 Months now, Sparring 8 Months). But my trainer does not ever have me take a step when I jab. This has made me "reach" for punches during sparring and I ultimately am never really aggressive. Every time I take a step when jabbing or doing any sort of combination during mitt work my trainer always tell me to "remain planted for more power." While I agree with this, it seems limiting because it forces me to wait until my opponent is in range to attack. I've got good length in the arms for my size. (5'10, 68.5in Reach) and would like to be a Amir Khan style linky combo puncher.
Am I wrong here? Should I take a step when throwing? Thanks.
