Your Leg Assessment

February 3rd, 2009
I happen to agree whole heartedly w/ your leg assessment. As an athlete all my life I was told that success starts in your legs; as far as posture, form, & technique are concerned. After leaving high school I became heavily involved in power lifting. I had a trainer friend come to me after asking him to critique my leg work out he told me ”You can’t build a good house w/out a good foundation.” As someone trying to get into fighting (been training for aprox. a year) I have learned that I can make a fight more difficult for myself by not moving my feet. Also, as a former weight lifter I punched w/ my arms in my early days of training. It wasn’t until I was taught how to use my legs in my punches, that I was able to get the full potential out of my strikes. The more you can involve your legs in your strikes the more powerful, and economic your strikes become. Now if I can only remember to keep my head moving, & not move in straight lines…
