Shadow Boxing

Shadow boxing hones reflexes and cardio with proper shadow boxing form. Incorporating footwork drills elevates it to a full MMA primer, enhancing timing and endurance for combat enthusiasts.

📋 How to Do?

Stance, throw punches (jab, cross) with footwork.
Move around, shadow combos.
3 sets of 1 minute.

Maintain loose fists and relaxed shoulders to avoid tension, pivot feet with each strike for balance and power, and keep combos light to prevent fatigue—clear space of obstacles for safe movement, breathing through the mouth if needed for sustained endurance.
