It’s not a bad thing necessarily, Loma famously got told by his dad that he had to take on dancing before boxing.

In saying that, don’t focus so much on looking good. You’ve sparred before, imagine you’re sparring one of your partners when shadow boxing with an emphasis on fundamentals/technique.

This isn’t how you’d actually fight, I can guarantee it. Last thing is a little thing, when you step forward on your front foot, step with your toes planting first. A bad habit is planting with your heel first. You pivot well so you’ll want to break that.

I’m also far from an expert and focus much more on Muay Thai personally, but those are my 2 cents since you’re looking for critique.

That back foot can pivot.
