Elastic Bands for Footwork

[Scrap]

Should be your walking gait, thats your biomechanical balance. Use 5mil elastic that will give you variation when working at diffent levels for foot placement, and gives a better feel.

A little tip, go to a shop that sells things and apparrel for Horses and get Horse shackles. Cost £8, use them for your ankles and tie the elastic to the clips on the shackles. Makes it comfortable, they are wool lined.

at the proper distance, I assume the bands will not have any slack in them, but they wont be stretched either?

They will stretch, thats the idea, gives the receptors Feel.

I know this might sound obvious, but is the point of these bands to make sure your feet dont over-step. Or the tension keeps them under you so you dont reach with your punches? What about posture?

Through feel the oral cavity, The Head, the communication centre, works with the feet and Coxxys to estabelish posture qiucker. By giving a better awareness through Feel your qiuckest sense.

Personally i think this little trick is one of the quickest/easiest ways to improve any fighter wether it be a beginner learning the basics or an experienced fighter ironing out those creases and steps with less than good economy of movement and balance etc to find their weak points and at the same time correct them, saves repeating yourself over and over as a trainer and like scrap says through feel it will teach you good technique and without feel we would be useless numb lemmings plodding about now wouldnt we so as you could imagine feel is quite important whatever where doing , does wonders for foot speed, balance, mobility and the double jab.. tbh it would be quicker to list the things it doesnt do.. erm.. it doesnt make toast good thread god, very interested to see what others think about this one.
