Shadowboxing with eyes closed

[God.in.my.corner]

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.

Ok thank you. I understand now.

Hmm.. ive never heard of that. sounds like it would feel weird, but im gunna try that for sure. haha does it actually help you? or is it just a weird feeling..?

Everyone I know thats tried it, says it works. But it takes a good 3 weeks to understand the principle. It helps Posture Balance, speed of movement and clears the thought process.

It's a new one on me....not saying if its good or bad, or arguing if there are any benefits.
I'm just old school and believe you should train as you will fight

Im really very old School, and learned to understand the Senses, on the way. If the coach is not creative, the Fighter wont be.
