hey guys,
just recently, a new boxing coach has replaced a another boxing coach which had to move overseas for employment reasons.. the boxing is just casual boxing that is supplied twice a week as its based in a jiu jitsu gym (i train bjj mainly).. the catch is when he was teaching the lead left hook, he demonstrated with the palm of the hooking hand facing the floor.. i asked that i was taught to have the palm facing back at me.. he then harps on about how shit that is, how crap the old boxing coach was and how good he was (cocky much?) (old boxing coach has been training 15+years, while the new one has trained 10) which i found highly disrespectful, as i would never expect to see a bjj black belt to disrespect another black belts preferred style.. the question is who is technically correct? my old coach said both were fine but he preferred his method, while new coach said only his method is correct..
thoughts?
