any benifits of flat footed bowlegged feet?

[chrisw08]

I am flat footed and have bowed legs at a 45 outward was wanting to know if i have any advantages in any martial art like boxing karate styles or other. For example when boxing i dont twist my feet inward like most people putting my body inside it goes 45 outward to regular stance with twist of the hip is this a good thing allowing me to land in natural stance and does it produce the same amount power also interested in how it effects my kicking speed and power what about grappling and takedowns when pressing feet against floor

What about what styles and fighting atfitudeid be good at?

Well, it is said that the shortest path from one point to another point, is a straight line. However, that rule isn't always applied to the MA. No. Oftentimes it's more of the opposite that dictates with certain techniques as well as with the practitioner. Two elements that should be noticed when considering any MA technique in the complete totality of the goal.

If you're able to use the hip in its fullest component, there will be power! Yes, its important to understand that the more the hip is utilized in its fullest range is optimal for reaching ones apex of their power curve.

Speed does generate its own power through its own inertia. The law of motion says...

"A body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion remains in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and is in the direction of the straight line in which the force acts. For every force there is an equal and opposite force or reaction."

These laws, imho, can't be disputed because these given laws are laws of nature, and therefore laws of physics that are proven laws.

Concerning between having one or the other, speed or power, I must admit, I prefer power. Does a MAist HAVE to have them both? Imho, no! Both have their limits, but those limits are solely the responsibility of the practitioner; either one can or one can't! In that, things must be present to generate either...speed...power. Nonetheless, power generated through the hips properly is far greater than speed alone can produce. Yes, both together is something that we all strive for, but if you can generate power and not sufficient speed, there will still be something for your opponent to be worried about.

Your limitations are not debilitating, imho, when it comes to the MA. Why? You learn to adapt your MA into your limitations, and not vice versa. If there are techniques that you're not able to execute because of any physical limitation, then don't attempt them. If you can make necessary changes in any given techniques in order for them to be effective, then that course can't be ignored; nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Hang in there, train hard, and don't let the training train you; you're the master of your journey, make your decisions that benefit YOU!!
