Description: myboxingcoach.com - This is the final video in a series of 3 in which we work on ways of doing aggressive and defensive shadow boxing. The first video youtu.be/rsuLZK1vk1Y described the concepts of aggressive and defensive boxing. The second video youtu.be/fLIBNu334Xw gave you a series of boxing drills that enabled you to put those concepts into solid practice. This video is about bringing those drills to life by bringing your aggressive and defensive boxing skills to your shadow boxing session. Just as a refresher from the previous videos, we examined the science of defensive fighting and my 4 aspects that mark out quality defensive work: 1. Occupy the edge of range 2. Use triggers 3. Use a killer jab 4. Get comfortable with front foot pivots We also covered my 5 components of super-effective aggressive boxing: 1. Be dynamic - occupy the edge of range 2. Use proactive defence 3. Volume and intensity 4. Rear foot pivot and lateral movement 5. Be inventive at close range. Once you have the concept, then you've begun the process of building the muscle memory with the boxing drills, the final step is to execute - and your shadow boxing session is a great time to do that. Round 1 of shadow boxing is defensive. Don't be afraid to dance around, it not only feels good but you also get the benefits of developing your upper and lower boy co-ordination. But you also then need to build into your shadow boxing the lead foot pivot, small foot movements and power shots on the retreat. Rounds 2 and 3 of shadow boxing are about dynamic and effective aggressive boxing, mixing up the ranges from long range to close range and back again. Shadow boxing is an activity that all boxers do. Some don't jump rope, some don't use speed ball, but all do shadow boxing. Enjoy it, and always look for ways of spicing up your shadow boxing...theming the session is a great way to do it.
