HOW STRUCTURE AFFECTS MOVEMENT

Page 1



The 5 phases of movement

1. Reach - The front leg reaches forward as far as his angulation permits
2. Pull - The shoulder musculation pulls / transfers his weight forward
3. Transition - The middle of the stride
4. Push - The rear musculation takes over and pushes his weight forward
5. Drive - The rear leg drives through as far as his angulation permits

The Correct Boxer

On the following pages I will attempt to show how just how much small differences in ...

• Amount of, or lack of forechest
• Balance of shoulder and rear angulation
• Length or angle of upper arm
• Length or angle of shoulderblade
• Length of leg and pasterns
• Length of second thigh
• Incorrect pelvis angulation

.... Can make a difference to a Boxer’s style and movement, and how to recognise it at a glance.
