since you also share a similar view on the western boxing guard, i was wondering, do you see the "jab" from this stance as being a "short cross?" This may sound strange, but i mainly ask because the shaolin I know so far mainly consists of punches that would probably be classified as crosses. I always just figured that a jab in accordance with my Shaolin would be like a, i guess, a "lead cross."
I "box" ala Tyson ( suits my Hung kuen to a T) so yes, the jab is more of a "cross".
