Please, i need boxing help?

im a martial artisit and wanted to ask, when punching and you pivot on your feet how do you get used to it, when i pivot my stance goes akward and my 2 legs cross lines. how do i get used to it and should i shadow box with my gloves on or off, what will increase my hand speed





i used to do boxing, for a year and now do martial arts





thanks|||I dont know if your southpaw or orthordox but, make sure legs are shoulder with apart and put your back leg a few inches out. This may help you .|||To make your punches faster..





When hitting the heavybag, just lightly tap it. go for speed not power. Than when you really rip into it.. BAM! amazing power.|||I recommend adjusting your stance so you are turned more towards the target. A boxer%26#039;s stance is more sideways to make it easier to reach with the jab and minimize your upper body target area. But in martial arts, it%26#039;s better to have more of an open stance (feet and body almost facing completely the opponent), so it%26#039;s easier for you to throw kicks with either leg quickly and also avoid the opponents low leg kick to your front leg. Another advantage of the more open stance is a better base to shoot in for the takedown or to avoid them.


You can get use to it by sparing with a martial artist who will kick your leg if you leave it out too far. By yourself, shadowbox and throw in kicks with your back leg often, this will force you to open your stance while punching and privoting.





To increase your handspeed, you can try shadowbox holding light dumbbells (2lbs to 5lbs) for a few minutes, then drop them and box without them for a few minutes, your hands will move faster. Go back and forth like this to work on your fast twitch muscles.|||You can increase handspeed by using the speedbag. Rubberbands and other isometric exercises (like holding your fist against the wall and trying to push forward like a punch except only you can%26#039;t.)
