    From my blog, perfect for the gym BUT if you have a heavy bag at home, this is the workout for you... seriously one of the best workouts I have ever had. Although I have not included all of it, you can check my workout log:

    Skipping
    10 minutes (last 10 seconds of each minute sprint)



    Footwork / Shadow Boxing Drills - 5 x 3 minutes (30 seconds rest)
    I got these drills from Mr Roy Jones SR and I really liked them, the idea is for rounds 1 to 3 keep moving forward and throwing punches, once you reach the ropes (or wall!) pivot and return, do this non-stop for the whole round.

    Round 1 - Move across the ring with Step jab, reach ropes, pivot 180 degrees.
    Round 2 - Move across the ring with Jab-Cross, reach ropes, pivot 180 degrees.
    Round 3 - Move across the ring with Cross-Hook, reach ropes, pivot 180 degrees.
    Round 4 - Circle the ring, side stepping constantly jabbing and changing direction (Sugar Ray style)
    Round 5 - Jab Slip Drills. Slip Outside come in with right uppercut, Slip inside come in with left uppercut.

    Shadow Boxing Burpees - 5 x 2 minutes (30 seconds rest)

    Oh ****, Oh ****... these are sickening, seriously... these are designed by someone seriously evil. You Shadow Box for 30 seconds (aim to throw 75 punches... this is not a rest!!!) and then do explosive burpees as fast as you can for 30 seconds, shadow box again for 30 seconds (aim to throw 75 punches) and then do another 30 seconds of explosive burpees. Rest 30 seconds and repeat.

    That's just the part I would recommend for self usage... Obviously if you have a partner you can make it even better.

    Round 2
    min 1 - Power Punches (Combo's as hard as possible)
    min 2 - Outside work (constantly moving with 1-1-1 and pivots)
    min 3 - Free style combinations
    Round 3
    min 1 - Free style combinations
    min 2 - Lead Hand (Jabs, Left Hooks, Lead Uppercuts)
    min 3 - 10 punch outs with 1 sec rest (13 sets)
    Round 4
    min 1 - Free style combinations
    min 2 - Power Punches (Combo's as hard as possible)
    min 3 - Jab & Cross Combos (1-2, 1-1-2, 1-2-1-2, 1-2-1-1)
    Round 5
    min 1 - Jab, Hook, Cross (1-3-2)
    min 2 - Inside Drill (shoulder must remain touching bag)
    min 3 - Free style combinations

    Shadow Boxing Burpees - 5 x 2 minutes (30 seconds rest)
    Oh ****, Oh ****... these are sickening, seriously... these are designed by someone seriously evil. You Shadow Box for 30 seconds (aim to throw 75 punches... this is not a rest!!!) and then do explosive burpees as fast as you can for 30 seconds, shadow box again for 30 seconds (aim to throw 75 punches) and then do another 30 seconds of explosive burpees. Rest 30 seconds and repeat.

    Padwork - 5 x 3 minutes (30 seconds rest - erm... kind of!!!)
    After each round you have to do 10 press ups and 10 squat jumps/tuck jumps and therefore rest is actually about 10-15 seconds!!!
    Round 1 - Thai Pads
    Round 2 - Thai Pads
    Round 3 - Thai Pads
    Round 4 - Focus Mitts
    Round 5 - Focus Mitts

    Round 1 - Jay - 75kg Tae Kwon Do guy with ace kicks
    Round 2 - Gerry - 90kg Thiaboxer (ouch)
    Round 3 - Phil - Good well rounded Thaiboxer
    Round 4 - Jane - very quick kickboxer
    Round 5 - David - Kickboxer, very fast

    Sit Ups - 200 reps

    If you can do that workout in the evening and say a 2-3 mile run three times a week, intervals twice a week, followed by some shadow boxing in the morning... I think you will be competition ready in about 4-6 weeks.

    that's a real pro training right there. I agree if you can do that plus roadwork 2-3 miles 3 times a week plys sprints twice a week you would be ready to compete at highest level of the sport

    Nah, it is a good few of Ross Enamait's individual exercises blended into a workout though. I use a lot of Ross' stuff if you check my blog you can see Magic 50, Work Capacity 101, Shadow Burpees, 50/40/30/20/10 finishers, etc.

    Yep, I would try jumping higher than the video, if you are doing a lot a good idea is to put something down and jump over it to make sure you are not getting lazy... not anything too big or wide, but a rope supported by two chairs for example :)
