    Default Shadowboxing with eyes closed

    What is the purpose?

    Is it just balance or is it more than that?

    Any things one should know while doing this? What to focus on or stay away from??

    It helps Proprioception, and Speed. By canceling out the sense that slows you down, Sight. your fastest receptors for Speed are, Touch and Feel, Your eyes are not good as regards Balance, both seeing different aspects and override the message the Ears are giving, Your balance mechanism, its interesting.

    I didn't follow the answer on how it can increase speed. If you are shadowboxing without looking in the mirror or at an opponent, how do your eyes slow you down? Does it make you focus more one "feel" or your form, thus speeding it up or something??

    Looking in the mirror, you are looking and reacting to the past, Eyes shut, relying on Feel its now. With a better understanding of movement, with less Stress.
