How many people shadow box at home, other than improving ur martial arts skill is it a good way of keeping fit?

I use a little bit of shadow boxing in my routine, but not as a way of keeping fit.

 

:D

Keep Smiling!

Yeah, very true it can be excellent cardio. Good at focusing your breathing with the hits. Same as form training. Except you can m ake the moves more realistic for fighting and change the patterns.

 

 

 

Shadow boxing is excellent in getting the repetions in for muscel memory. working on relaxing the muscles while you hit so you work on relaxed speed. Also good for working on foot movement with it and hits. And basic form.

So is it better to relax right through a punch when ur shadow boxing? becuause i'm usually quite tense when I do it.

Just out of curiousity, when you guys shadow box, do you practice specific combinations. As in, a set routine, or is it mostly freestyle?

I'm no longer posting here. Adios.

I mostly go freestyle, feels more natural and alot faster, i'd only really do set combinations if I was practicing for a grading or touching up on a technique.

Snap punch, reverse punch, snap punch, back fist, roundhouse kick(mid section) and then step through with a side kick(Head), thats of the top of my head, but I dont really do set combos I just make it up as a go along, using an arsenal of techniques as a go.
