how to keep balance?
I can throw a hook (badly), I can (sort of) grapple & I can do a (very bad) sort of roundhouse kick. These are the three moves I can sort of do against a test dummy, when I land them I only get 1 hit because I spend the rest of it half a mile away trying to get my balance, I try to get a back foot under me but it just launches me further away, any tips to be able to regain control after a punch or kick to be able to throw another or even tips on how to keep my feet anchored when I take a (crude) boxer's aproach?

I would also like to know how to throw a jab/cross, uppercut & proper hook from anyone who knows how, but preferably have it tie into how to be able to throw another afterwards and not fall over and flop like a fish for the other 450 or so frames.

Any help is much appreciated, haven't even tried online and haven't tried to get much power behind my hits yet.

Edit: Just fought a uke dummy and punched his arm/head off with a poorly executed jab before falling over backwards myself.
