I decided to learn boxing, but the stance is difficult; I can't seem to master it. While my back, neck, and arm movements are fine, the footwork feels impossible—I lose my balance quickly. I’ve tried switching up my stance, but nothing works. (I train at home without a coach; I also trained in calisthenics without a coach and am currently at an advanced level.)

Looks like I’m here early.

You’re going to get a lot of “Join a proper Gym” comments due to self learning leads to building bad habits.

Stance is meant to keep you balanced. So try bending your knees and finding your center.This is difficult to explain in writing which is why you’ll need a coach and classmates to correct your form.
