Throwing a Jab in Boxing

Very good, very clear. One thing, you say you shouldn't move forward - just use the arm, but when you throw it in real time, you seem to rock forward with it. Is this to throw more weight into the jab?

Leo mentioned in the stance video that he's a rightie, so his left hand is forward, stronger/right arm back. I'm rightie also, but when I did Tae Kwon Do, I was encouraged to put my stronger--therefore right--hand/arm forward for speed as well as power. The idea was to hit hard with the jabs, and the lesser strong (not really "weak") arm, in my case the left, was going to have extra power from it's position and body twist. When I did Isshinryu, I did contact with a friend, and sometimes it was an advantage, but other times not. When I do Soo Bahk Do now, I use the arms and the legs, and, sure enough, my right leg has more speed and flexibility for technique (Power? I don't know). I'm putting it forward with the right arm, so I'm fighting as a leftie with both arms and legs. I'm not so sure I should be fighting southpaw if I'm a rightie, and I wonder if I should shift from rightie to southpaw and back again. Maybe sparring as a leftie when I'm not one isn't helping me if I want to prepare for an actual situation, when holding back isn't for on the street.
