Light Shadow Test.

[!! Shawn]

Some light shadow boxing. This is not here for advice or people to say "keep your hands up more". This is a light shadow boxing round from me to you. I tried some lateral movement, but the rug started slipping on the hardwood. I filmed this mainly as a test to see how well my digital camera recorded video. I think it did pretty well so I am going to take it into the gym tomorrow morning and record some of my workout.

Yes, those are my new IMF tech gloves sitting on the table.

You don't step in with your jabs, your uppercuts aren't even uppercuts, and your hooks look half-assed.

There's your critique.

Perhaps you do not understand the concept of light shadow boxing. Its one of those things you do when your muscles are COLD.

All of my punches are half assed, that is the point of light shadow boxing, to warm up and not pull any muscles.

I didn't extend half my jabs. I didn't get under my uppercuts. I didn't bring my elbow up on my hooks. I didn't fully turn my right hands. See the pattern?

why show a video of it then?

why show a video of it then?

The real question is why not?

another pointless thread from shawn.
wouldnt have been pointless if you were willing to accept critique however, so ill give you some.
looks like your in decent shape.
all ill say is why the **** are your hands moving up and down when your practicing rolling and slipping? theres no point putting your hands down and up. also, keep your hands in fists between shots
good luck
twist the front foot for hooks

That is incorrect. You want your hands open unless you are punching. And Open hand can be used for catching and parrying more effectively. It is also faster, and it allows you to snug the glove up close to your face when you block punches.

This is the reason I did not ask for critique, I have FAR more boxing experience and knowledge than the majority of people on this forum. It is not an ego thing, it is a simple fact.

Putting my hands down on my hip allows for faster head movement. If you are going to drop your hands it is wise to drop them all the way and not half ass it. With your hands down, head speed is essential.

If you are talking about the choo-choo motion I was doing when rocking back and forth, that is the Walcott shuffle.

Hands should be kept moving and feinting as should the head.

Despite what you might think, I do know what I am doing.

I will be recording my pad work tomorrow.
