PRO TIPS...

• Remember to use your reach and not lean forward to hit your target.

• Keep your body weight/balance in the middle -- 50% of your body weight on each leg.

• Use your shoulders. If you're throwing a straight, throw your lead shoulder back. This will instantly extend your reach.

• An outfighter stays away, stays out of reach of their opponent, hence the name "outfighter", so be mindful of this when you practice this style. Get in, throw your punches, and then get out. Retreat. An outfighter doesn't depend on weaving or slipping, because they get in and get out, so their main line of defence is creating that space between them and their opponent.
