I have a question. In the first drill with the tramlines, the boxer does 2 different kinds of steps. The first one, the lead foot steps and the rear follows. The second type, the rear foot almost skips to the front foot and then the front foot kicks out. Is this what is referred to as a "shuffle step"??

I am used to doing the first type, but I find the second type more effective. I find that it's both faster and you can cover much more distance.

Can someone please point out the differences among the two. Can you use both, or is it more a one or the other type of movement?

Also, with the shuffle step, if you were throwing a jab (or double jab), when would you punch? When the front foot land or the back foot lands? Any advice is appriciated. Hopefully Chris or Mr. Scrap can weigh in on this one.
