Shadow Boxing
Shadow boxing is a low impact means in which we can focus on training technique and combinations. It can be utilized as an excellent way to warm up and/or help develop your cardio. Shadow boxing is a lot like training on the heavy bag in concept. We want to focus on the training drills or training combinations recommended in our daily TDS training program. However, we don’t want to set the 3 – 5 minute timer and just drill the recommended drills. Just like training on the heavy bag we add some of the other techniques during that time frame. For example, the drill to focus on may be jab, cross, left upper cut, cross, right kick. We will start off with some foot work, maybe a couple of defensive techniques, a couple punches or kicks and then the training drill once or twice.
Examples of one of the TDS instructors doing the shadow boxing drills are provided with the daily training drills, like with the heavy bag training filming yourself shadow boxing the drills and comparing them to the instructors is an awesome way to critique yourself.
I stated earlier that shadow boxing was an excellent way to warm up and work your cardio. When using shadowing to warm up you start off slowly and pick up the pace as you start warming up increase the intensity. To work your cardio you need to pick up the intensity and maintain it for a longer duration (20 minutes plus). If you want to increase the difficulty of your shadow boxing you can try wearing a weighted vest or put small weights in your hands, no more then 2lbs.
