[chris_มวยไทย]

hi , i may look stupid asking this (forgive me ive only been doing muay thai for a month) , but ive been hearing about the "southpaw stance" , is it just the normal muay thai stance or is it an alternative stance or is it from a conpletely diferent matial art? any help appreciated

thanks , chris

Orthodox - left foot forward

southpaw - right foot forward

The origins have to do with baseball, and left handed pitchers throwing from the south side or something like that
