As a rule of thumb your usually taught to standmore square in mt/kickboxing due to kicks. I've bene training in kickboxing for a few years now,but for the past 3 months or so I've been ata all boxing gym and they've really improved my hands but a downfall is my stance is considerably more boxing orientated and after coming back and sparring with kickboxer I've obviously now have been getting leg kicked a lot more then before.
Sucks because I feel like I can box way more fluent in a side stance then square but my love is for the art of kickboxing because I've been doing that for a bit longer.
My question is has anyone actually had success with a boxing stance or even a bit more sidways in muay thai? If so what do you do differently and if anyone has a video of any pros that stand more of a boxer and are successful that'd help a lot.
Obviously checking would be out of the picture in a side stance,correct? How else would yous defend kicks?
Like I said I'm really just experimenting with using my hands more so all help would be great. Thank you
