Improve Your Footwork For Boxing | 4 Exercises/Drills 

What's up guys, in this video I go over 4 exercises or drills you can do to help improve your boxing footwork. There is beauty in simplicity. Footwork for boxing does not have to be flashy or explosive all the time. Notice most boxers at the highest level make subtle movements just enough to get out of harms way. Yes, there is a time to make those explosive leaps towards or away from your opponent either when you are hurt or if you have your opponent hurt. The key to successful footwork in boxing is to always be in motion. If your hands aren't moving your head better be moving. If both your hands or your head aren't moving then MOVE YOUR FEET.
Don't take any punches you don't need! If you have the energy and strength to move around the ring after landing a combination do so! Protect yourself at all times.
4 Drills/Exercises used in the video:
1) Shadowbox without throwing punches-
This will help you focus and concentrate on your foot movement. Don't worry about what your hands are doing pay attention to your feet. Go through the motions.
2) Jumping Rope-
Jump rope is a great tool to develop cardiovascular endurance but also leg strength. It teaches you to be light on your feet and comfortable with always moving. In a boxing fight you rarely are(or should) be stiff and heavy footed.
3) Move towards last punch-
This drills enforces you to move after you throw a combination. You don't always have to move to the same side you punches last but it is a great reminder to punch and move.
4) Agility ladder, cones, hexagonal rings etc.-
This is contrary to the jump rope drill in which we focus on quick explosive movements. There is a time to be heavy footed especially when your opponent is hurt and you need to take them out. These exercises will help you build power on your legs.
