The best way to learn is to visualize an opponents moves, footwork, and thier boxing style. If you go to a boxing gym, watch one of the boxers moves and how they punch ect. Then when you shadow box you pretend like that opponent is in front of you and you pretend like you and the %26quot;imaginary opponent%26quot; are fighting.
