An Orthodox stance in combat sports such as boxing and karate refers to someone who boxes right-handed as opposed to a left-handed fighter who is referred to as a Southpaw. The term is also used to refer to a stance in which the boxer places his left foot in front of his right, so it is possible for a left-handed boxer to box with an orthodox stance.[1]
Alternative stances
The corresponding designation for a left-handed boxer is southpaw, and is generally a mirror-image of the orthodox stance.
"Orthodox stance" film
Orthodox Stance is also the title of a film documentary about jewish boxer Dmitry Salita. It has been rumored that a movie about him is in the making, starring Eminem as Dmitry Salita, to be made by movie producer Jerry Bruckheimer.[2]
He was offered a small role in an HBO boxing movie, "Undefeated", as a fighter who loses a match against the film's protagonist, played by John Leguizamo. Salita turned down the part: "It was tempting, but if I did that, lot of people who never saw me fight would see me lose".[3]
