when I was saying this I was referring to stances and why it's a big deal of where the liver is located depending on stance when most people are going to go for the head anyway, but not the liver lol. but still good stuff.
It makes more sense to let the hand to do the hand job (punch the head) and let the leg to do the leg job (kick the body).
My power leg and power arm are on the same side. This would not be valid for me. What works for me is to develop long range and close range punching and kicking ability. Then I don't have to worry about what range O need to be in. I just need to exploit the opportunity.
I believe it 100% I'm right handed and fight in southpaw stance..... oh wait. but I'm not left handed.Allow me to demonstrate the stupidity of the orthodox vs. southpaw "debates".
Complete with a "study" from the University of Manchester, wrapped in the Daily Mail...
Left-handed people win more fights claims study of 10,000 boxers
Experts from the University of Manchester found that left-handed fighters have a 54 per cent chance of scoring higher in a fight after studying the careers of almost 10,000 professionals.www.dailymail.co.uk
I would like to know who reads this and doesn't hurl in their cornflakes.
Theory crafting makes me nauseous.
I wonder if these are books written for right hand people?
Not books, video courses. They are all on open stance strategies, produced for both left hand and right hand people. The first two courses are taking the view of a southpaw fighter (left handed fighter), although their description says it applies to both. The latter two courses are how to beat a southpaw.
Why do you want to fight in open stance? Both you and your opponent's back leg roundhouse kick can kick the other's chest.
He didn't get kicked In the chest. Instead of balling up like he did. All he had to do is shuffle 45 degrees to the left while punching with his rear hand. He could have also just step forward into the opponent while striking. Either way takes you out of the power zone of a round house kick.
Thanks, these are written for the new people.

ha ha ha please don't
You should be able to fight from either side. Changing leads is a good tactic.
You mean I should stay 100% southpaw or you mean it’s don’t so important which stance I choose?Allow me to demonstrate the stupidity of the orthodox vs. southpaw "debates".

I get what you're saying, Dog. The liver is mostly on the right side of most people, some in the middle-ish, and a little on the left, when facing forward.
I mean the whole "choosing stances" thing is kind of an illusion.
Whatever feels right in the moment. See: Paolo Tocha in Bloodsport.
That is entirely dependent on who you are fighting and how they move. It'll vary opponent to opponent.
Your liver is open most of the time because you should be guarding your head at all times.
Straight to the liver is the death shot for most breathing humans. But as I posted just before, that shot can come from literally any side of the body.
And this is the problem, it's funny we just had this discussion in another thread on a Muay Thai teep knockdown.
Stances are kind of like cookie cutters.
You'll miss one of the best, real displays of Asian fighting arts on film. Especially Muay Thai.
More fun for me lol. The best thing about body shots is that the body is easier to hit than the head.
Depends on how you define "damage". I would consider being hit hard enough to end the fight damaging.
Bollocks. It takes a really severe injury to the liver before we ship you off to the OR. Minor liver lacerations are "watch and wait". Liver lacs are graded on a 5 scale. A grade 2 lac affects up to 50% of the livers surface area, has a hematoma up to 10cm diameter and penetrates up to 3cm into the parenchyma. Mostly those will get you a few days of bedrest and that's it. More than 80% of blunt force liver injuries will not require anything other than bedrest and monitoring. The overall mortality rate for liver injuries is a whopping 2-3%.
