CagedWarrior Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Why? We've learned along the way, not to mention it's almost surely a more combat less "gentlemanly" oriented sport these days.Think about this- until the 19-somethigns (I want to say 40s???) there was no such thing as the jab. No one did it. Can you imagine boxing without a jab!?

Can you imagine boxing without a jab!?Having seen old texts from as far back as the 18th century which discuss how to throw a jab, I'd say you're mistaken.

Rich_2k3 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Boxing has been around for a long time (including the jab!), it was first used (as the form of boxing we know today) by the British army back in the 17th/18th centuary as a way of toughing up the soldiers and also to settle disputes.

And even after invented they sure didn't use it like they do today.
Rich_2k3 Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Why did they change the way they do the high jump? Becuase over time they discovered a new way to do it that was better. Same thing here. "When my enemy contracts I expand and when he expands I contract" - Bruce Lee
OneHitKO Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 so u can jump around, weave, block, kick, ect it is not the size of the dog but the size of the fight in the dog...
Justfulwardog Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 My coach told me when I first started boxing, many moons ago, that they used to drag there back leg around. They kept it sideways so that when they threw the cross, it would be with ultimate torch of the body. It was very immobile though, so the sport evolved to being "faster on your feet." So now we point our rear toe toward our opponent, heels off the ground. I only do this in punching range. I prefer the Muay Thai stance in kicking range. I use the one where my rear leg is at a 45% angle.
