Boxing Footwork Drill #20 – Shadowboxing Down Low
Once you’ve mastered the tough yet rewarding hoppers drill mentioned on
the previous page it’s time to add onto the hopping motion and add in some
shadowboxing! That’s right – remove your hands from your head and perform
combos of between 2 and 4 punches while bouncing on your toes, opting to
occasionally pivot and change directions as well as moving forward and
back.
Notice how much harder it is to shadowbox down low than if you were
standing?
That’s the exact purpose of this drill – to put you through the hard yards in
training so when you stand up and compete against an adversary your
endurance, balance and movement as a whole are that much better.
Perform your shadowboxing for multiple rounds of 3 minutes while ensuring
you remain bouncing on your toes in your low squat position for the duration
of each round.
