    I find shadow boxing great for footwork, we also do it with light weights helps you great for when you are fighting and you get tired hands and feel like you need to drop your guard!

    Shadowboxing is for speed, balance, coordination, self-awareness, technique refinement.

    Other benefits of shadowboxing:
    - balancing out your muscles.. and building the retraction muscles. It's too common for people to get use to punching at heavybags which "bounce" your hand back to you. When you get use to shadowboxing and punching at the air, your back and shoulder muscles will have to retract your arms back which better conditions you for fighting situations where you will hit a lot of air. I highly HIGHLY recommend shadowboxing. Do it more!

    Some days ill just do 9-12 rounds of shadow boxing.. work on openings and feints and counters, combos finished nice and balanced ready to slip or weave/roll afterwards, nowadays i try to make it a point to better finish the punches and combinations on balance with good foot, hand, elbow and knee placement for more mobility afterwards rather than concentrating on speed and power with the actual opening leads afterall its very rare you hit anybody with these leading punches no matter how perfect you throw them so its a waste as in most cases theyre just thrown to trigger reactions/counters that you want to counter in return and to set up the landing shots and its these shots i drill during shadow boxing because its these punches that need to be perfected and take more time to master, ofcourse thats after your able to throw the leading punches to a very good standard in the first place otherwise your rushing things.
