How do you shadow box in mma with the ground work and stuff?

so how do u shadow box in mma|||The same as you do in Muay Thai, Boxing and kickboxing.





The only differences is you intermittenly throw in sprawls. (i.e. fast dynamic drops of the hips to the mat and spring back up). Other than that is your full range of strikes in combinations.





Ground work is never shadowboxed, you get nothing from it. Shadowboxing is an aerobic activity, by doing it you get used to the breathing and moving and heart rate needed just to throw those blows in combinations, and to get used and acclimated to moving around.





Matwork requires a partner, because you need to feel leverage and only through working with someone does it give you any kind of cardio workout and use your muscles... otherwise you are just pantomimg going for submissions which don%26#039;t use a lot of energy.





Hope that is helpful.|||You don%26#039;t do too much ground work when you shadow-box. You might throw in a few takedowns or takedown defenses, but most ground work requires a partner, or at least a grappling dummy. It%26#039;s possible to %26quot;shadow wrestle%26quot;, in fact Dan Gable was known for it, but it%26#039;s far less realistic than shadow-boxing. For example, you might simulate a guard sweep, but without having a person there, there is no way to know how realistic it was, or where you made your mistakes, if any. With shadow-boxing, you can be pretty sure you%26#039;re throwing the same punch you%26#039;d use in an actual fight.|||Use your imagination. Sprawl, forward roll into an armbar, shrimp against your imaginary opponent.
