Got a very noobish question here....
About 10 yrs ago I was a TKD practitioner, and got fairly good. One thing about TKD, at least the way that I was trained, is a fairly sideways stance. Smaller target profile, more room to swing the strong back leg for roundhouse kicks.
I have started training Muay Thai and some of it feels really natural to me. However, I am having some difficulty transitioning to the more square thai boxing stance. It gets me tangled up sometimes, like if I throw two knees in a row and muscle memory/habit has me trying to twist back to a more sideways stance. Has anyone else had trouble with this transition? Are there thai boxers who work the sidways TKD stance, or do I just need to keep drilling until the more square stance feels natural?
Thanks for the help.
