its moving and punching in the air without hi ting a target. often done as part of a warm up right after jumping rope before moving on to hitting the bag or getting in the ring|||It just means doing any form of boxing moves without an opponent. it can be anything from practicing set combos or drills your coach gives you. Or just free sparring for a few rounds by yourself, moving around and throwing punches at will.
The main advantages are it helps you coordinate footwork with hands and also helps to visualise yourself fighting for real.|||Boxing without an opponent.Its purpose is to prepare the muscles for more strenous activity and to find the fighter%26#039;s rhythm before he engage in actual boxing.|||shadow boxing is boxing in a mirror pretty much sparing with the air its a warm up process it improves on speed and agility
but also can be done without a mirror but rare

Shadow boxing With Weights?
im 14 a boy height is 5%26#039;9 or 5%26#039;10 i was just wondering does it make your punches faster it you shadow box with weights. I started off with 5 pounds. Some people on the internet say it makes you slower. And is their a proper way of shadow boxing with weights because i heard if u do it wrong it will damage your bones.|||It%26#039;s an interesting question and one that I have struggled with for years. But after much trial and error here is my conclusion - USE WEIGHTS THAT EQUATE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE GLOVE for a limited part of your training. At most this means 1lb weights which are equivalent to your standard sparring glove of 16 oz (16 oz = 1lb).
The reason for this is that during shadowboxing you want to simulate the sport as much as you can, and by adding light weights you will get the feel of a glove added to your hand. You don%26#039;t want to train this way all the time because during the fight you%26#039;ll be wearing 10 oz or 8 oz gloves, which is quite a different experience from 16 oz%26#039;s.
Let me explain why. Years ago pro baseball players used to warm up on deck with a weight on their bat, and sometimes with two bats in hand. Coaches started to notice that players who did this were behind on their swing, reason being is that they were recruiting extra muscle fibers that were not needed to perform the swing. If your body has to send signals to your brain to recruit and fire extra muscle fibers then this will slow you down. Essentially, speed comes from relaxation and efficiency of motion (ever see a close-up of a 100m sprinter%26#039;s face during a sprint?). So, in effect, you don%26#039;t want to train too much with hand weights much heavier than the actual weight you will have on your hand during the event. This does not mean that you should exclude strength training, there are other components to boxing which requires strength.
Anyways, the best way to make your punches faster is to work on your technique until you have it technically sound, and then throw your punches is explosive punches when training. Power Endurance!!
good luck.|||Using weights while shadow boxing is fine IF you stay within your weight limits. For example, if you%26#039;re in good shape and lean at your height, you can use up to about 5lbs. You don%26#039;t need to go higher especially at 14 y/o. Not knowing your background or stats, I would even say drop your weight down to 1lb if you have them OR use your sparring gloves if you have 16oz%26#039;ers.
Another way to improve punch speed is by resistance training using something like a resitance band (giant rubber band with or without handles).|||Five pounds is probably too heavy.
If you use light weights, maybe 2.5 pounds max, you can get some conditioning benefit. It can help develop endurance in your shoulders.
You have to be careful of your elbow joints. Don%26#039;t punch full range of motion while holding weights; you can do repetitive stress injury to the joint before you even realize it%26#039;s occurring.
The best way to improve your handspeed is to focus on technique.|||Eh, I suppose it could make your punches faster. What it mostly does is condition your arms. This will help you keep your hands up during fights. I would recommend you keep shadow boxing with weights though, great work out. As for getting your punches faster, you need to work on your quick twitch fibers, this can be built up by a speed bag or lifting lighter weights with more reps|||There is only one motion you can do with the dumbells: the uppercut. And only do it in a motion that%26#039;s similar to a curl. Any of the other punches will ruin your elbow. Think about how weigh lifters do their routine. Have you ever seen them do a bench press standing up and mimicing a straight punch? Of course not. You will see curls from the upright position.
I recommend not doing it all, actually. If you damage your elbows, you can%26#039;t say that I didn%26#039;t warn you.

Where do I find out how to make a shadow box?
I want to display some of my husbands retirement memorabilia in a shadow box and surprise him with it for Christmas. I have no idea how to go about it. Any ideas?|||Shadow Box
A shadow box is a simple but dramatic display case for a treasured object or a collection of souvenirs. After making your box, decorate the inside to suit its contents.
Materials
1 piece of 8-by-7-by-1/4-inch pine (for the back)
2 pieces of 6 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-1/2-inch pine (for the top and bottom)
2 pieces of 8-by-4 1/2-by-1/2-inch pine (for the sides)
Wood glue
Card stock
Large piece of silk
Double-sided tape
Paintbrush
White, clear-drying craft glue
Woven linen tape (in a color to complement silk)
Bone folder
Picture frame hooks
1. Lay the box鈥檚 back on a flat surface. Spread wood glue along its perimeter, and attach the two side pieces and the two top and bottom pieces to form a square (see photo, left). Hold the pieces together with clamps or cord as glue dries. Secure corners with the finishing nails. Paint the outer surfaces of the box.
2. To line the box, measure the inside of the back panel; cut a piece of card stock to that size, subtracting 1/8 inch from each side to allow for the thickness of the silk. Drop this panel into the box to check that it fits with a slight margin all around it. Cut a piece of silk to match the dimensions of the cardstock plus an additional 1/2 inch all around. Center the silk on the cardstock, and attach with a few pieces of double-sided tape. Trim silk along diagonal lines at the four corners; wrap excess silk to the back of the card stock, and secure with tape. Glue silk-lined panel into the box. Using the same process, cut and cover card-stock panels for the inside walls, and glue them to the inside of the box.
3. With a paintbrush, apply white clear-drying craft glue to the front edges of the side pieces. Folding the corners on the bias as you go, lay 1/2 inch of woven linen tape along the glued edges. Smooth with a bone folder. Mount on the wall with picture-frame hooks.|||I have found DIYnetwork.com and Better Homes and Gardens have lots of information on projects and you can ask questions on DIY (Do it yourself).

I need a two sided "shadow box" to display a T Shirt with autographics on the front and back. Can I buy one?
I have a T-Shirt that has numerous signatures on the front AND back of it. It%26#039;s an expensive collectors item. I want to display it in a shadow box, but I can only find shadow boxes with a glass front, not a glass front and back. My plan is to put a hook in the middle top portion of the box and hang the t shirt on hanger from that hook. I will mount the box to an entrance of a door way in a business (very large doorway openings and high head room) Can anyone suggest how I would make this or tell me where I can buy something like this?|||The way I would do it is to actually press the shirt out flat between two sheets of plexiglass or Lexan, then fit the sandwich into grooves in a backless frame -- that way, you don%26#039;t have to have an unsightly hanger (plus, on a typical hanger, the shirt could rotate slightly and make it less than optimal to view) All you would have to do (if you decide to build it) is to build a box of desired depth, then router a groove that will accommodate the plexiglass sandwich all the way around the middle of the inside of the box. Sand, stain, seal, assemble and enjoy!|||how about buy 2 of the same size shadow boxes and remove their backs, sandwich the shirt in between them. Maybe buy 2 small hinges and hing on side and clasp the other to keep them closed. If too wide, think about 2 screen door windows (thin white aluminum edges w/ plexiglass) Or make your own with pine or poplar cut to size at a lumber yard, have plexi cut (to inside diameter) and add molding to front and back) so plexi doesnt fall out. paint or stain.|||Hobby lobby and michaels has tons of shadow boxes and cases in difrent sizes try them , also the container store has that kind of stuff too.|||There are sport collector/dealer places that have new cases that are all acrylic. So just ask at one of theses places near you and they should be able to tell you how to get them. The ones I have seen advertised in my magazines are above $100 price range.|||well if you kind find one in a store, there is always someone like me who would build one for you, Simply put look up in the phone book up under wood worker and get on the phone someone will build you one, you may pay more getting it customed made but you will get what you need and want. ive made single shadow boxes for people a double one wouldnt be a problem at all.
How can i hang a jersey in a shadow box?
im having trouble hanging a football jersey in a shadow box any ideas pins arent working the back part of the shadow box is too hard and the pins bend when i put them in.|||You must have a very big shadow box. Anyway, you could run a thick nylon cord across the top (like a clothes line) and then hang it from the line using clamps. (regular clother pins would be too weak)
Or, you could make a new shadow box and frame your Jersey number with other football memorabilia...like the GI%26#039;s do in this series of photos....
http://www.soldierstory.org/shadow-box.h...|||You could try a heavy duty velcro, fabric and craft stores usually carry it.
What you might want to think about is a thin piece of cardboard painted to match the color of your shadow box background. Then using thread, actually sew the jersey to the cardboard in strategic places. They used to do this for doll clothes and it would hold it up in the packaging.

I%26#039;ve never seen someone try to display a uniform in a smaller box before.

What you could do is just cut off the part you want to display then use tacky glue to mount it to the back of the box.

Shadow Boxing with dumbbells?
The other day I started some shadowboxing whilst holding a pair of 1.5kg dumbbells in each hand. After 5 minutes or so I noticed my punched were ALOT faster when not holding the dumbbells. Does this mean my punches were then more powerful then before Shadow Boxing?
(Power/Force= speed+weight) or something like that.|||I think the formula you want to use is the momentum not force. when you figure out mass x acceleration you are actually finding the force you are using to get your arm moving. you are looking for mass x velocity which will give you how much momentum you are transferring over to your opponent.
And I would not use dumbbells because object in motion stays in motion. And when your fist stops your wrist is taking all the momentum that the weight still has. (this will destroy your wrist over time.) If you really want to put some power to your punch try working with cables. just put the cable around a heavy or stationary object and punch away. because there are no weights involved you get the same benefit as the dumbbell without damaging joints. (ps don%26#039;t use cable machines they also have weight so they will be just as damaging to you and the machine)|||f=ma or force equals mass multiplied by the accellaration of said mass.
this builds up your muscles so as you punch at normal speed with dumbells and at lightspeed without. (martial arts 101)
then if you divide the force by the area of your fist you get the average force per sq meter. (metric only soz)

Would shadow boxing be good rehab on a weak rotary cuff?
It can if you start out slooooowly, just throwing really loose and lazy punches with no force to work some flexibility back into the area. If you can do that for a few days without pain, go a little faster and harder. Don%26#039;t push yourself to any point of discomfort or you may do further damage.|||Not sure, the injured shoulder needs time to heal.

Does shadow boxing with 3lb pound weights in each hand help strengthen your punch?
It will help your muscles to become stronger which in turn will make them faster. Speed is the key to punching power. Once you get good technique you will develop speed. Powerful punching is achieved with speed not the size of a muscle or weight of the person throwing it.|||Not as much as core training, hopping a ton of rope, sparring, hitting the bag, and other things should. It can be part of a good warm up or cool down routine though.|||i do it all the time with 5lbs (the highest dumbbells i got :-( )

It is used mainly to prepare the muscles before the person training engages in stronger physical activity. In shadowboxing, only one person is required to participate; the participant throws punches at no one in particular. Muhammad Ali once performed a now famous shadowboxing routine next to Howard Cosell for ABC%26#039;s Wide World of Sports television cameras.
Most boxing trainers prefer that their fighters do their shadow boxing before engaging in any other daily exercise routines. The main purpose of this exercise, apart from getting the muscles ready for other activity, is usually to maintain a fighter%26#039;s rhythm and show the fighter how they would look at that stage of training against a certain opponent. This could be important as fighters envision themselves facing their immediate future opponents: it usually gives fighters an idea of what is, and what is not, to be fixed.
Fighters may want to do some shadowboxing of their own after their daily routines are over, either inside a boxing gym%26#039;s ring, or wherever they please to at home without having to look directly at a mirror.
Shadowboxing is not, of course, limited to boxers. Many karate fighters for example, also use the exercise as part of their daily routines, and it was common to see Bruce Lee practicing his kicks in front of a mirror on his films. Shadow boxing with swords and other weapons, referred to as a floryshe, is a major training tool in the Association for Renaissance Martial Arts. It is also common to see drummers using this method to critique their playing style, look and expression.
Fighters of other martial arts also shadowbox as part of their daily training regime. Amateur wrestlers also practice many drills simulating specific wrestling moves without the aid of a partner.

Shadow boxing with wieghts in your hand?
is it a good exercise?
ie been doin it latley and am wondering.
8 lbs in each hand.|||if you do it correctly yes.
but if you lock your elbow out while your punching you could hyper extend it. this is true if you have weights or not. when ever you do shadow boxing or techniques in the air weather it be kicking or punching you need to keep you joints slightly bent and not fully extend.
with weights i usually recommend not going full speed.|||actually if you are going to do that, which i would reccomend hitting a heavy bag over that by FAR.
then at least use wrap around wrist weights.
if you do that excessively it might screw up your fist (the way you make one) and teach you bad habits.
muscle memory is much of what we do- while it might provide some resistance, a heavy bag or a really fat scientologist strapped to your wall might provide more resistance and not give you that %26quot;grip%26quot; issue.|||8 lbs is a bit much if you haven%26#039;t been training with weights.

if you do that excessively it might screw up your fist (the way you make one) and teach you bad habits.
muscle memory is much of what we do- while it might provide some resistance, a heavy bag or a really fat scientologist strapped to your wall might provide more resistance and not give you that %26quot;grip%26quot; issue.|||8 lbs is a bit much if you haven%26#039;t been training with weights. Punches with weights must be done carefully and correctly or you can damage your elbows by hyper extending. I start my students with 3 lbs and work it up to 5 lbs or 8lbs depending on the stature of the individual. |||Umm....since you%26#039;ve already been doing it, shouldn%26#039;t you know whether it%26#039;s good excercise or not?
But for the sake of answers, I%26#039;ll just NO. It%26#039;s awful excercise. You should go to Rally%26#039;s regularly and get 2 Big Bufords and the largest cup of pop they offer and eat them in front of TV. That would be better.|||I fail to see the point, unless you%26#039;re punching upwards. Maybe for uppercuts it would work. Better to shadow box/hit the bag.|||It will build your arms up without sacrificing speed so I would say that it is a great exercise.
SHADOW BOXING, does shadow boxing help your agility and speed?
and is there any exercises you can do to have fast jabs, hooks, and ,uppercuts?|||Shadow boxing helps on your cardio and speed/agility. It helps a lot for me, i also practice my jabs with 5 pound weights or lighter to help then get faster|||Shadow boxing is maybe the most helpful training in all aspect without using any apparatus.
It helps your dexterity and your foot step.
It helps your mind to be more focus and evaluate or imagine the posture of your opponent.
Shadow boxing is like a vicarious of boxing, it gives you the initiative and presence of mind how to handle you opponent and beat them with great determination.

Is shadow boxing with ankle weights a safe and effective way to train?
i wear 2.5 pound weights on each hand and 5 pound weights on each leg.|||Not something I%26#039;d recommend if you%26#039;re training at full speed. The extra weight in unnatural locations may cause damage to the joiints (especially elbows and knees) as the punches and kicks reah full extension and the weight pulls on the limb. Training at slower more controlled speeds shouldn%26#039;t be a problem, but pay attention to how you feel during and after your workout.|||yes it is effective , so is doing it without the weights, i hope you do more than just that
How many calories are burned shadow boxing in front of the mirror?
I heard it was a really good excercise and im just wondering i weigh 150 lbs|||There is no definitive answer. It depends on the intensity that you are exercising. If your heart rate is consistently high and you feel like you%26#039;re in a cardio workout, then pretty high in calories burned.
I also assume not a lot of calories because you%26#039;re not using any type of resistance (using weights or punching bag, etc).
It%26#039;s exercise...but not a %26quot;really good exercise%26quot;

Does shadow boxing improve upper strength?
i was talking to a friend and he said that shadow boxing can help to improve upper body strength, i know the basic idea of what shadow boxing is but what can i do to make it effective?|||If your 90 years old shadow boxing is a warm up or finishing exercise but must be done properly to avoid bad habits|||it doesnt improve upper strength. just improves technique and hand speed.

Can 3 pound Dumbbell's on each arm durring shadow boxing help me punch faster?
i want to know if 3 pounds can help me punch faster while shadow boxing?i started yesterday shadow boxing with 3 pounds and tied up the dumbbells to my hand with these wrist gloves.will shadow boxing with 3 pounds help improve my speed?|||yeah but be very careful as punching with wieghts can strain the lower back and the elbows. I would suggest 1lb wieghts to start and if you feel any pain jus wear gloves when you shadow box use 16oz or 18oz gloves to build up your speed.|||If you%26#039;re a strawweight, probably not. If you%26#039;re a middleweight or above, maybe.
If you just started yesterday, you probably should concentrate on basics rather than enhanced training techniques.
I agree with The Watcher. If you shadowbox slow, you%26#039;ll spar slow. And if you spar slow you%26#039;ll fight slow. As Muhammad Ali might say, %26quot;If you fight slow , out you go!%26quot;|||Yes, eventually your muscles will be used to having that extra weight when doing those boxing drills, then when you box without them, your muscles will still be moving with the same force they%26#039;d use if you still had the weights in-hand, or at least a little more force than if you hadn%26#039;t trained that way.|||yes|||Different trainers will give you different answers you can%26#039;t have two chefs in one kitchen. My opinion is that the weights will make you keep your hands low thus getting you used to keeping your hands down. Boxing is muscle memory %26amp; if you do things wrong like keeping your hands low you will fight this way.
Even heavy bag gloves are bad most people think that they are good because when you use smaller gloves you will be faster or stronger? Nope, again when you get tired with those big heavy gloves your hands will be kept low %26amp; you will keep working like this %26amp; the end result your hands will be kept low.
I would suggest that when shadow boxing try doing it at full speed, get use to this %26amp; you will pick up speed. Watch guys who shadow box really slow %26amp; then watch them spar its almost the same speed. Now watch the guys shadow boxing really fast %26amp; watch them spar, you will see the difference yourself. Speed comes from quick twitch muscles.

Have you ever knocked yourself out while shadow boxing?
I was Shadow boxing the other day. I was throwing some fierce punches and attempting kicks. I was watching myself throwing hooks and thought that was pretty good. In fact one of my hooks looked so good I actually made my knees wobble. So I%26#039;m just wondering have you ever knocked yourself out while shadow boxing? Also will I eventually knock myself out if I keep it up? Then one last question if I do knock myself out and no one is around will it be a knock out or a figment of my imagination cause no one is around to tell me whether I actually fell down or whether I was just day dreaming?
Please provide only serious answers to this question. I don%26#039;t want to knock myself out so I need insightful answers, I mean deep deep insightful Zen shadow boxing type answers.
Thank you|||the logical person would say: you were off balance chicken leg boy. stregthen your legs and structure.

Is there health benefits in shadow boxing?
I%26#039;m curious since I tend to do this every night, and I find it fun. Am I burning calories/carbs/fat/anything?|||Yes - any movement that gets your heart rate up (and doesn%26#039;t hurt you, of course) is good for you. Not only is it good cardio, it%26#039;s great strength conditioning to tone your muscles and get them used to working in unison, becoming more powerful in the process.|||Yes, there are health benefits in any exercise. Boxing is one of the best cardio workouts there is. And a huge plus to shadow boxing is that you always win!!|||Not really.
How effective is shadow boxing with dumb bells?
Does it have a high benefit of increasing speed and power? =/
Answers are much appreciated {^_-}|||Work great. Give it a try for a few weeks and let me know how it works out for you!|||I never did it and no one at my club ever did it,i feel that shadow boxing is to work on your rhythm,speed and technical aspects,weights and big muscles dont always make for big punching power,rhythm and timing does
Thats why people shadow box in front of a mirror to keep there form,using weights could get you into bad habits|||It%26#039;s a terrible idea, and the people telling you to do it are ignorant, in the literal sense of the word.
You CAN do uppercuts with them. But I%26#039;d rather you not use them at all. You%26#039;ll shred your elbows.
Just think about the stress on your elbows the further away your hands get from your body. Now increase that stress just mimicking a punching motion.
Simulate this by holding a dumbell away from your body and hold it as if you%26#039;ve just fully extended a jab. Feel that twinge in your arm? It%26#039;s worse if you%26#039;re actually moving the weights, the momentum will kill you, but since you%26#039;ll be loose and warmed up, you won%26#039;t feel it right away...say, once you%26#039;ve cooled down.|||im just giving you my opinion this may or may not be true
but i think you will just end up hurting your shoulders and wrists
i would stick to a punching bag or speed bag
i know that ankle weights can end up weakening them instead of strengthening them
just go to a mma center and ask them|||yes this will increase your speed and your power , i also recommend actually punching something , like a punching bag so you get use to contact.|||25%26#039;s work best

Is shadow boxing a good excersize to bring into my home training?
if so, are there any risks i should watch out for, also, how long should each %26quot;session%26quot; be.
thanks.|||yeah its great exercise all of the modern martial artists do it to practice and become good fighters. I do it in my martial arts class to warm up and practice. Just make sure you know what youre doing and warm up before hand. We shadow box for 1 minute for three times. Just as a warm up drill. Then we sometimes drop down on the floor and do crunches or push ups and come back up and finish with our shadow boxing drills in the air. Quite tiring indeed.|||boxing with weights is REALLY good and i recommend you do that.

How can I be good at shadow boxing but suck in an actual match? My opponents sometimes are lower belts.?
Or their technique doesn%26#039;t seem as good as mine when shadowboxing tbut they still do better when we spar! How can this be?|||Because shadows don%26#039;t move or hit back.
As others have said, it%26#039;s all about speed and timing.
James|||shadow boxing is practice, just get more practice in live situations. like find soembody to beat up on ahaha Report Abuse
|||Your reaction time! You might punch fast but do you block fast too?|||Because sparring has a LOT to do with measuring distance and timing.
In shadow boxing, you don%26#039;t work distance and timing -- you work form for footwork and strikes. Consequently, as helpful as shadow boxing can be, it doesn%26#039;t prepare you for sparring.
The other thing is, in shadow boxing, you don%26#039;t practice defense. You may practice blocks or covering up, but without the timing down, its useless. While you don%26#039;t practice timing for strikes either, strikes are a bit more obvious -- in terms of what you do with them. Without the sparring experience, you won%26#039;t have any idea of how to %26#039;plug in%26#039; the defensive techniques that you know.
Long story short, there%26#039;s no substitute for sparring. Drills, in which your opponent resists your technique, are pretty helpful too.|||You are being intimadated.... When you come up to the opponent again be strong and agressive as you would with the shadow... Put the intimidation on you side.... Good luck Grant M in Pa|||I would guess it%26#039;s because it%26#039;s alot harder to have a perfect form when someone%26#039;s throwing back at you. Heck I might look alright shadow boxing, but if someone punches me back I%26#039;ll curl up in a ball and cry.

Why do some professional boxers not fully extend their arms when shadow boxing?
i have seen a few boxers shadowing recently such as roy jones, calzaghe and when they shadow they only extend their arms a few inches, why is this?|||Have you ever thrown an %26#039;air%26#039; blow and hyperextended your elbow?? That%26#039;s why. Shadow boxing is for loosening up your muscles so you don%26#039;t go into the ring cold. Or for some boxers it%26#039;s all for show.|||Shadow boxing is part of warming up. It is used to limber up your arms.
If someone throws a punch and fully extends the arm they can damage the arm.
When punching a bag or sparing you contact something at the end of the punch. If you not contact something to stop the motion of the arm you can easily injure the joints or muscles.|||Shadow boxing aids your timing and rhythm as well as warming you up.
The fully thrown punch usually hits an object, opponent, thus the force is taken through the shoulder down to the feet. If you throw a forceful punch into thin air this causes unnecessary strain on the arm joints and muscles. There is nothing wore than throwing a punch, with considerable force and not hitting your target.|||Warm up basically, losen up muscles :)

What should I keep in mind when shadow boxing?
I%26#039;ve been in a traditional noncompetitive art for years. We do forms, ground work and locks.
I%26#039;ve decided that I want to learn muay thai. For like 5 minutes they had us shadow boxing. I%26#039;ve never done anything like that before. I%26#039;m used to kata, but not this.
What should I try and focus on? How useful do you think shadow boxing is? What are the pros and cons?|||Shadow boxing is very useful in a number of ways. Gentle type shadow boxing is a way to warm up and elevate your body temperature so you can more effectively stretch. It also can help to make your combinations smoother and faster; especially some of the more complicated ones where your body or muscles seem to lock up or freeze when doing them at full speed. It can also help show you small mistakes since the combinations and techniques are being executed more slowly and you can more closely pay attention to them rather than worry about an actual opponent. It is also effective in helping people develop their foot work, balance, and coordination and teach them how to better move laterally, backwards, and at angles-not just forwards when throwing combinations and techniques. It is much easier to start to develop all these things first rather than in an actual sparring session if you are not particularly coordinated or light on your feet. Besides the above reasons it is also a good way to cool down so that your body is not as stiff and sore after a particularly hard workout.|||you must think that you are punching your worst enemy|||Combos, footwork, punching through the target,
and.... ADRIAN!!!!!|||Don%26#039;t just throw one punch at a time, throw combo%26#039;s.

And lastly always keep your hands up, since in most boxing gyms you shadow box every day it%26#039;s the perfect time to make holding your hands up feel natural
Thats all I got|||Shadow boxing is one of the toughest things to learn as a student and teach as an instructor. It will only be as good as your imagination. Just like a kata, during shadow boxing you need to imagine an opponent. Unlike a kata it is not made up of predetermined moves, which makes it a hard concept to grasp for a martial artist.
You need to imagine yourself fighting someone. Do lots of combos and defenses. Move around a lot, but not in linear motion. Let your mind run free, no matter how crazy the attacks you can imagine. And most importantly have fun with it.|||Try not to hurt your shadow too much as you are boxing it. It will never forgive you and may even leave home.
