I had a lot of people that had no clue what I was talking about when I said “Slips to the Left on your Left Foot” so I made this video to clarify exactly what I want.
if I’m southpaw and I want to set up my straight left on an orthodox fighter while flanking him what headmovenet drill should I train for that consistancey .u know the splitting his jab as well as his philly shell jab line with his hand down in that case I want to get my left on his chest thanks
I would probably execute a ‘straight slip’ step with my right foot, trying to get maybe 6-8 inches outside of his front (left) foot, and fire the cross simultaneously. So, you’d be moving slightly to the right in conjunction with your cross. Usually, when I do this, I just drop it as a ‘one and done’, but if you want to fire more stuff, like a right hook to the body, you would bring your entire base with you (both left and right steps). For just the cross counter, only the front foot moving in, and then directly back is necessary! Let me know if this makes sense!
For this drill, are you supposed to keep the left leg forward the whole time while stepping forwards and backwards, or are you supposed to switch stances?

Why right foot versus left? does right foot take you away from opponent and the left close the distance?
Sometimes you want to move to the right, and sometimes you want to move to the left.
…or forwards vs. backwards as you have so astutely mentioned!

Maintain your normal foot relationship… you do not need to switch stances!
