I've just gotten back to training after a year and a half lay off (I'm 17 at this point in time, 2-0). I'm orthodox and I've always had fast feet and hands and a overly powerful left hand, but terrible technique. So while I finish year 12, I won't be fighting this year, but I want to improve my skills, and polish myself to a level in which I can pretty much return to the amateurs with extraordinary fundamentals and achieve a lot, before I turn pro at around 24? So, I am working out of a gym two nights a week, but for those off nights what could I do to reinforce correct bio-mechanics, footwork and skills? Please don't just answer shadow-boxing, I'm looking for drills/specific sequences. Thank you and god bless
in boxing you can only learn what there is to know by sparring ,,you will then understand which part of your skills need improvement block & parry with spar partner bag drill ,,,moving right (back foot first) around the bag none stop punching 30 seconds then move left (front foot first) 30 seconds 2min round if you can punch while moving you will catch your opponent of balance
I've been training, since I was 13. 2 fights after, god knows how many exhibition matches between the ages of 13-16 I know how to block, slip, roll. Sorry if I sound dismissive, thanks for the sugesstion. But I don't have access to a partner, nor the time to teach someone enough to drill with. I was just asking for nifty little solo drills, ideas to improve mechanics ec't
Shadowboxing. Lots of it. It stops being boring once you've done enough of it. **** drills, they're always boring. You cold rig up a maize ball and slip rope at home, but it's still shadowboxing. I just started doing a good amount of shadowboxing on a balance board. It may or may not be improving me but it's hella fun.
As far as which techniques to work on, usually people use their sparring sessions to prompt them on that. Maybe consult your trainer, since we have no clue about you. If you're just scratching for ideas for general all purpose drills, most boxing instructional videos cover stuff like that. Maybe checkout guys like Kenny Weldon for things to try out.
