A simple but very effective drill to improve your balance, stability, and body weight distribution when throwing punches. @Mary Kazakou @Demetra Gartagani How does it work? Starting from your boxing stance, throw a single punch or a 2–3 punch combination. The challenge? Freeze and hold your position after the final punch. For example: 🥊 2–3 → HOLD 🥊 2 → HOLD 🥊 1–2–3 → HOLD 🥊 6–3–4 → HOLD 🥊 5–2 → HOLD The goal is to understand how your body weight shifts with every punch, maintain your balance, and stay in control throughout the combination. It’s not just about throwing punches. It’s about knowing where your body weight is when you throw them. 👊 Give it a try!

When shadowboxing, don’t get into the habit of constantly moving backwards. Why? Because in a real fight, you’ll eventually find yourself against the ropes, trapped in a dangerous position. Instead, get comfortable with cutting angles and moving around your opponent, rather than just moving away. Visualize your opponent in front of you. Stay connected, practice your footwork, and use your angles to create better positions. Remember, shadowboxing isn’t just about throwing punches. It’s about learning how to move, react, and position yourself. Don’t just move backwards. Learn to move smart. 🥊
