jumping rope and focusing on footwork when shadowboxing. if u shadowbox 10 rounds, take 2 or 3 rounds just working you feet and maybe throwing out a jab now and then and a quick combination, but mainly just work your feet. u can put tape on the floor, eighter in a cicle to make sute u circle rather than step back. or to make sure not going to teh ropes. just practise. footwork is imo the most boring part of training except for stamina training. but once u get it down everything else gets way easier. i dont know too many drills, but shadopwboxing is the key to any form of boxing skill.

This is one of the techniques I use when training my fighters in their footwork....
First, if you have a ring preferably, tie two ropes, string, hand wraps, whatever you have that isn't too course a material from one ring post to ring post directly in front of one another. Like this:
Go to 3:27 of the video, it shows Antonio Margarito slipping and throwing punches through the ropes. This is a great exercise because the point of it is not only to practice slipping, bobbing and weaving but to make sure your feet are moving appropiatley. When you move in boxing as you should already know, you should be moving with the front foot or back foot first, sliding the other one afterwwards. Moving side to side or front to back, your feet must never be together and you should always be in perfect balance.
this technique alows you to move as well as slip, bob, weave all the while throwing punches and moving forward and backwards. In time you will get faster and faster at it and you will be able to move away from swarming fighters.
There's a lot of other techniques but this is a good one for you to start with because it keeps you in a straight line and teaches you fundamentals.Comment
