Toe-heel alignment question

[Thedeadgamer]

Hello, in regards to keeping your feet toe-heel aligned, does this mean that the toe is on one side of a line and the heel the other, or they both are in a straight line? Also are there any drills that will help me maintain this alignment and not get too blades or too square?

It depends on what you are comfortable with. I tend to fight flat-footed at times because I get cautious that if take too much weight off my foot I might get decked.

Alight your elbow with your heel.. your first with your toes.

I was taught a similar stance when I started.
You imagine a T on the floor.
If you are orthodox your lead foot big toe is on the left side of the T line and your back foot heal is
On the right side of the line. Feet at least shoulder width apart ( I prefer slightly wider feet).

I can�t think of any drills right now. But I would love to hear some as well .
Your foot placement kind of always varies you might be steeping in for a body shot or something but when you are done punching and bounce out to reset you should try to be in a proper more controlled stance.

This is how I was taught as well.

Heel of the rear foot on the right of the line. Toes of the lead foot on the left side of the line.
