I can do Jack Dempsey's drop step and its awesome as is Mr Dempsey.
But I dont understand one thing.
On a normal boxing punch lets say a right cross, the weight is shifted from the rear foot to the front foot. So your weight starts heavy on the right foot while in your stance and gets transferred via hip rotation to your front left foot as the punch lands.
Well with the drop step right cross you start with the weight on the front foot, you then get pushed off the rear foot, and your hip rotates, to throw the punch. You get extra weight and speed from the drop step. BUT you started with the weight on the front foot and it stays/ is always on the front foot, theres no weight shift from the back leg to the front leg its all upfront for the entire punch.
Is that the correct way to do it?
I have found a way to keep my weight back as I drop step forward I shift it back mid flight so I can transfer it forward as I land.
My question is, is it better to always keep the weight forward or is it better to transfer it from rear to front? (when using the drop step)
I hope someone is advanced enough to be able to answer this.
