My name is Tony Jeffries, Olympic medalist and undefeated professional boxer. I am now co-owner of Box 'N Burn, two boxing fitness gyms in Los Angeles, as well as the Box 'N Burn Academy where we train professional boxing trainers. This is why and how boxers shadowbox for boxing.

When you shadowbox, it is very important to concentrate on always having a good form. Keep your hands up high and throw punches realistically as if something is actually in front of your head. Focus on perfecting your boxing technique above everything else.

If you are a beginner, it could feel really awkward at first. However, the more you shadowbox, the easier it becomes. When shadowboxing always choose s few areas to work on such as your boxing stance, footwork, pinches, combinations and defense.

Through the video, I will demonstrate how you can shadowbox with a concentration on footwork and defense. I will also show you a punches and defense example.

Feint and attack concentration is another example of shadow boxing we will go over in this video. We will finish with a high intensity concentration example. This one will really get your heart pumping and prove to be a great workout.

As you shadowbox, start slow, get comfortable and then you can move on to high intensity shadowboxing. Practice makes perfect holds true to shadowboxing as well, so don’t quit because you couldn’t get your form right the first time.

Whether you are boxing for fighting or fitness, shadowboxing is a must-have training session. This is largely because it will surely turn you into a better boxer and helps you achieve your fitness goals.
