Shadow Boxing
This is a form of training where you fight your imagination; you physically throw punches and kicks at an opponent that is not there.
This is a very useful tool for preparation of fights and encountering dangerous situations, you can safely understand how you will attack and defend.
Imagine 5 targets give yourself some space and play out the scenarios of the different ways they will attack you, and then shadow fight your way to a victory. Imagine the first guy falling to the floor after two hard blows to the face then quickly move to push the second away then throwing a devastating elbow in to the chest of the third.
By playing through scenarios of shadow fighting you are able to better prepare your muscle memory, the sensations and movements will feel common and you will better handle the different stresses and movements, your balance will be better and you will be able to better control the rush of emotions the speed of thought between movements and how to breath and remain calm and focused.
Shadow boxing is a very good cardio workout, if you think throwing combinations in to thin air is easy try doing it full stop for 10 Min’s, the best way to practice shadow fighting is to do it in sets, fighting in rounds.
Some fight in slow motion visualizing each hit landing in the perfect spot to do the most damage, with the maximum force. Or seeing every attack your opponent throws in super slow-mo to be able to watch where they are off balance or weak.
Or you can practice fighting full stop as if your life depended on it. Throwing punches, elbows, head buts, kicks and objects until you can’t fight any more! See if you can push your boundary little bit each time until you can fight at full force for several minutes at a time.
Remember this is all in your mind so pick opponents that will test you! Shadow boxing old ladies is fun but may not be such a good idea in the long run.
Then shadow fight at full force and full aggression, ensuring all your effort goes in to destroying your opponent, throw hundreds of combos until your sure they will never move again. Use up all your energy, see how much you can fight before you can’t fight no more.
Create scenarios where you have different objects, imagine playing pool in a bar then being threatened, how you would use the different objects, imagine holding the cue and swinging. You have to visualize these scenarios as actually playing out in front of you.
Practice this daily as part of your cardio/general health/confidence/fighting workout
Top boxers and fighters use this technique in the coming weeks to a fight, they study videos of their opponents watching how they fight, how they stand, there body language and defensive style. They use these videos to get a mental model for which they fight over and over again. 90% fights are fought and won in the mind, so they repeatedly win and destroy their opponent over and over again. By the time they get to stand of in the ring they have already spent hours fighting their opponent, there mind is used to the idea of throwing punches at this guy and being attacked by him also. The mind cannot distinguish a thought that is clearly visualized to what is actually real and in front of it.
Shadow Boxing can also be used against objects, see the wall or chair in your room as being the enemy, throw combos at it (don’t actually hit the it!!) See how you would attack the different areas. Looking at an object gives a better practice for accuracy.
Stand in front of a mirror and shadow box your own reflection, look at your own weak spots see what happens when you open your guard how would you attack that, if you was your opponent how would you beat the guy you seen in the reflection of the mirror, would this be an easy or a hard fight? Make sure your stance is good; a good way to improve balance and stance is to throw punches and kicks from awkward positions. While jogging or standing in different stances, every fight will not always allow the perfect form so understand your weaknesses and learn to adapt your fighting style to suit.
Remember this is training your muscle memory, a safe and effective way to fight for hours each day without having to be injured, the whole point is to prepare your senses for action.
Focus on, Speed, Power, Accuracy, Deadly efficiency, Breathing, Aggression, Motivation to win, Your Offence and defense.
Don’t throw your punches and kicks too hard as you may overstretch and cause harm to your ligaments, fight smart and listen to what your body can do. Rest between rounds and think of ways you can improve.
Your mind and body

This is a subject that is very close to a lot of people and definitely a touchy topic to tackle, but because I feel strongly about it and have encountered it, I feel it’s appropriate to take it on.
A real man would never think of laying a finger on his nearest and dearest and so it’s all the more upsetting that it’s fairly common. I have never understood the need to hit women, and find any man doing it is the lowest of the low. But why do they feel the need to do it? Insecurity, prior abuse and jealousy seem to be the main motivations, sometimes brought on by alcohol or drugs, and instead of celebrating a person’s achievements, they feel threatened or see it as a need to express ‘masculinity’ and impress their mates.
The fact that the only thing they’re expressing is the fact they’re a coward seems to go straight over their heads and it’s repugnant to overhear them laughing about it, expressing pride in what they’ve done.
It’s important to be straight up and honest in any relationship and commit to a loving and caring environment, otherwise what’s the point in getting into the relationship in the first place? Communication and mutual respect is equally important and without those factors, all relationships are doomed, but instead of just walking away if this happens, why do a lot of men feel the need to attack their other half? Why not simply agree to disagree and move on? It seems some men can’t let go and when they feel threatened or given the cold shoulder they resort to intimidation, threats and out and out violence. All this is going to achieve is making the other person scared and rejected and lead to bad feeling all around. Even threatening violence and intimidation is morally and socially wrong and taking it further is on the same level as murder as far as I’m concerned.
People in the public eye who partake in it should be ashamed of themselves. People may look up to them as heroes or as an example of how to act and how to behave. For them to use such methods is a disgrace and they should get out of the spotlight for the good of the many and TV shows and movies which show it should be edited to remove such material from prying and impressionable eyes.
Having been with a girl who was previously in an abusive relationship (I won’t name names), I can say it took a long time to overcome the fear and discomfort she felt and to build her confidence and trust. It was well worth it eventually, but it was a lot of work to make her feel relaxed. Fortunately, she’s now fine and has got over her experience, but a lot of other girls and women are probably emotionally scarred for life, and it shouldn’t be this way. There are helplines and support groups but a lot of people are scared to talk about it, and understandably so. While this article is primarily about abuse of women, there is also a fair amount of men who have been abused by women and are equally afraid to talk about it. While the situation is unusual in the context of a male/female, it certainly isn’t unique.
It doesn’t matter how you look at it, this is a major problem in society and needs to be dealt with severely. Punishment should be quick, sure handed and hard on offenders. Children should be brought up to believe that’s it’s wrong and should never be done, and whilst most kids are taught this, the message doesn’t seem to get through or is lost in translation when they reach adulthood… It’s a very sad state of affairs and it leads to broken families, emotional turmoil and long-time distress for victims. Let’s sort this out once and for all.
