Hi folks,

First thread i've made on here so hopefully it doesn't bomb and will be helpful. Not sure if any of you's will remember me but I used to be a pro and got to the top ten at super feather a few years back. Never quite cracked it but i'm still contemplating another bash.

Anyhow,I work as a personal trainer but a lot of my clients love boxing training and some of them are actually getting pretty good. I like to giove them different drills to improve footwork, punching power, speed, technique etc and whille i've got lots of my own that i've picked up over the years i'd greatly appreciate if some of you could share some of your favourites and most useful.

Please state, what you call it; basic instructions on how to perform it and of you remember where you originally got it from.

For example

Bag Change Drill (England Squad adaption)

Most gyms have more then one bag, number the bags (for this example 1-5). Boxer works bag as instructed at irregular or regular times the coach shouts out an alternative bag number. Boxer makes their way to the bag as quickly as possible whilst obeying correct footwork principles.

The idea is to keep the workout fresh and challenging throughout the three minute round leading to a greater output and thus not just hitting the bag for the sake of hitting it.

In addition the boxer will have to stay sharp and will improve their footwork by constantly being on the move and having to think quickly to navigate themselves to the new bag.

Exercise stations can be utilised too.

Its a really good one. Try it.
