Tactics

These are general, not absolute rules. 

1. Circling Away From Power (Rear) Side 

One of the most fundamental defensive positioning tactics is, at long range, circling away from your opponent's rear hand (power hand). The rationale is straightforward: by moving away from the power side, you reduce the likelihood of walking into their strongest punch.

2. Foot Positioning Against Unmatched Stance Opponent

With your lead foot outside, both your jab and rear hand have a direct path to your opponent's centerline, while their rear hand must travel around your lead shoulder. This gives you cleaner angles to land power punches.
