Ali also never switched to a south paw stance he always stayed orthodox.
This bring us back to my point earlier, it is human nature to fight with your two feet o the ground. |
I'm in complete agreement with you.

So, when TKDers do it, per spar/competition, in accordance to their style (as going against their own), and if they realise it is something that it is not defense applicable, why is it so bad?

Really trying not to get irritated. Did you read my post? I think Bruce is awesome but, I don't consider him a fighter, so why did he bounce I don't know it looked good on camera? Boxers bounce as I just stated a few posts ago is done at a distance to increase head movement. Boxers IN GENERAL do not switch their lead foot changing from orthodox to south paw. Boxers plant or STOP bouncing when they throw a technique, except for the jab which can be thrown from either but, needs to be modified. When in close boxers will NOT bounce they will use head and shoulder movement instead.
TKD bounce into their techniques, they switch their lead foot. This is very very icky!!!
