Re: Strangest place you've been caught shadow boxing?
Ye I do it now and again actually, again F*** knows why because I don't box at all just like knowing and reading up and joining in debates about it.
The sport I play all the time is Tennis so I keep myself in shape for that as I play in the Liverpool Men's league but Boxing is the sport I love most even though I don't do it.

Re: Strangest place you've been caught shadow boxing?
This is going to sound even worse. I don't shadowbox but i do footsweeps and reaps. Sometimes i'll open a door by footsweeping it.
Odd looks i can tell you.

I once was shadow boxing in the kitchen and punched the light switch and nearly broke my hand or at least knuckle. Went running to my mum, bleeding hand (I was 12) but secretly pleased i had shattered the switch with my punch. I do not do it as much as it is knackering.

I used to practice katas and hand strikes when I was a printer and had the press running well.
This doesnt sound to embaressing,but it would get twitchy when a customer walked in and I didnt hear the door open

Me and a mate were surfing over in King Island (a mans place of nasty sharks fishermen and big waves etc)
We were in the public toilets in town just having a piss and my mate read from on the wall next to him, out aloud "If you want anal sex just ring me on 0419887433 " ! etc ,just then a local came out of a cubicle and just stared both of us up and down.

The trophies and the medals say I was.But I honestly never thought I was good enough.
Which is why Id spend half of my work day circling the press going over everything,no matter how good you are at anything,you can be better.
Believe it or not 8 point blocking and the accompyning hand strikes,as well as cat/horse stance,translate very well to boxing

Re: Strangest place you've been caught shadow boxing?
Now you mention it Daxmon, Ive slow motion hooked a few builders and clients while they have been either talking dumb shit or asking the impossible of me.
I also love holding out two fingers outstretched towards their eyes while saying to them "Here ,let me explain"
You can get away with anything so long as you smile and hold their gaze.

Re: Strangest place you've been caught shadow boxing?
I was at a back part of our corporate office and was going pressing forward with a bunch of jabs and found myself infront of the meeting room window with several of the managers looking out at me....
Surprisingly I've never minded someone seeing me shadow box in an odd place. They always look at you strangly though, but sh!t there is worse things you could be caught doing in a toilet at work by a stranger. O0

Ask Senator 'Wide Stance.'

Re: Strangest place you've been caught shadow boxing?
Lol, this happens to me all the time while I am walking my dog.
I will be in the park thinking no one is around. It usually starts out throwing a few odd punches, but then I usually end up getting all focused and intense.
Sometimes I try to do footwork around my dog as she tries to bite me, she always attacks me when I shadow box :)
More often than not someone ends up walking by and sees me doing this. It's awkward.

Re: Strangest place you've been caught shadow boxing?
Not quite shadow boxing but I caught myself one night years ago I used to practice under no moon over the road in the middle of a school oval around midnight so noone including me could see anything, practicing a nunchuk kata and got my self in the temple and dropped out for a little while.
