I study Kenpo primarily, however, I just started attending a local boxing club to cross train.
Anyhow, I came accross this little "how to clip" of boxing foot work and had a question.
You'll notice, that when he first demonstrates going forward he moves his lead foot first, and when going backwards he moves his rear foot first - thats the boxing footwork I have seen. Then, when doing it as a skip or shuffle, he does the opposite. Is that proper boixng footwork?
In Kenpo, we do both a "step-drag" and a "drag-step" but I was under the impression boxers 1.) don't cross over and 2.) lead foot moves first going forward, rear foot moves first going back.
Just curious - I wont be back in the boxing club for a few days and it is bugging me.
