Does crooked arm work in boxing?

[ChinoXL]

I am a righty, my right arm got piped and broken, it got healed but is a bit misshaped, i can't straight jab correctly or it hurts, and when i punch with my right i'm a inch short, but other then that should i be a boxer? because i really do enjoy boxing and muay thai

[Ben Martin]

if you enjoy it why not. ok so you may never be a champion. i like most people tarin in MA because they enjoy it. so i say yeah go for it.

 

By the way nice name, he's a sick MC

I say go for it also if you enjoy boxing and Muay Thai. However, if when you punch it hurts I'd check that out more seriously. You wouldn't like to injure your right arm again would you? Maybe it just so happens that you shouldn't punch like boxers do if it hurts, so I'd be careful. Make sure boxing isn't bad for your arm, and if this is not the case well continue

well.. my right arm caan't punch straight but there's a extra bump on my elbow.. maybe i have a stronger elbow o.O.. but yeah.. since i'm a righty i have to compromise it by practicing using my left to change into primary arm

That's what I was going to suggest. You won't survive if you can't use your jab, so it would be best to work having your left side forward. Other than that, yeah, definitely stick with it.

Sounds pretty bad. Maybe it's a good thing like that Movie where the kid broke his arm and started pitching in the Major League or something like that.

i usually have my right facing out for baby jabs.. do u think thats good? my left is a little stronger now so i do power punches wid my left.. and i'm thinkin of takin muay thai

[Rank7]

i have an ulnary atracia on my left arm i had surgery . i never had that ball on my left wrist. does this mean i stopped? NO

 

and who said you cant be champion?

[SevenStar]

heck, baxter humby only has one arm, and he still competes muay thai...

Try switching your lead from left to right and back in the middle of a match. That screws people up. You can use whichever arm is best for any situation.
