squad what's going on this is how to shadow box like a champion a proper guide
coach wayne and i are gonna take you through it wayne's gonna push
me through like he always does and to show you how to progress
from a beginner to a world champion shout out box are you guys ready for it let's get into it
what is shadowboxing shadow boxing in my opinion is not a warm up it is a
workout as you begin your workout with shadow boxing you may not start at a full intensity
until you become a little comfortable doing the moves you want to practice
your footwork start in and out then you can incorporate a jab with that in and out
then you want to go in and use a little bit of lateral movement you have to use
your visualization to imagine an opponent being in front of you that also you have to imagine
that opponent can hit you back so then when you shadowbox you have to execute defense as well
remember this is a workout not a warm-up so let's advance the movement now but let's not forget how
important that jab is that jab's used for offense that jab's used for defense it's
used in combinations i can't overemphasize the importance of having an effective jab now we're
going to incorporate a few faints and then side to side movement and make an angle for yourself
and imagine that you're actually boxing somebody so have visual intensity
you want to have cognitive intensity in this
our next step will be incorporating combination after combination put combinations together when
you throw a combination at a point you have to anticipate what might happen and be prepared
for the next step if you have the next step you throw a combination you say to yourself
this what might happen i might hit him he might move he might hit back then you want
to go into the next thing right away at a high intensity boxing don't forget is a contact sport
as we move on we want to make sure that you use your angles and your combinations but i'll take
the target from the body to the chin and then with your movement as well and don't forget when
you go forward you're going forward into a combat zone you have to be prepared to defend yourself
all right let me show you what this is going to look like nathan's going to start off with
this movement with the jab there's going to throw combinations he's going to pivot off
make different angles then he's moved the target from the chin to the body
and doubling up its combinations
don't forget the importance of having that effective jab offense defense combinations
say good work nathan keep the intensity keep the intensity
as much as we want to be perfect on this it you don't have to be perfect to be effective
pick your two best world champions and look at their basic skills their basic skills when
people say man look at sugary leonard look at the speed he have look at the jab he had look
at his footwork when you look at a fighter like oscar de la hoya both are olympic gold medalists
you look at oscar de la hoya his jab is straight right in his left hook those are the first basic
punches that you learn look at their stance look at the phone look at their defense these are
the first basic steps you learn or taught in the first week going into a boxing gym
but then when you see a fighter like that you're amazed by you're in awe of it so this is what we
have to do when we're training our fighters to be very cognitive of the basics don't skip them
and get into something else before they're ready if you have the intention of being world champion
the basic steps of shadow boxing is is the utmost importance every workout you should be doing at
least three three minute rounds in shadow box you practice those moves you increase the intensity
you move you practice your footwork your hand speed combinations
moving the target around doubling up your combinations this is not easy
as you see that very few fighters other than the best fighters are able to execute this
you want to be a world-class boxer repetition is it you have to repeat these moves over and over
again visualize your boxing somebody mix up your combinations make your angles and there you go
coach wayne once again bring in the heat try these and put them to work what i want to know though is
what boxer right now has your favorite style leave that in the comments and maybe we can do a workout
based on that style coach wayne once again thank you and i'll see you warriors for the next video
