Was just wondering if anybody knew any drills I could try out at home to help improve my reflexes.

Cheers.

read the thread on scaring people in the lounge.

btw, prison break is a good show. it's coming back. hopefully, everything wil be wrapped up with this fourth season.

I dont think theres much you can do at home, your reflexes are probably good enough. While shadowboxing try countering (slipping, ducking) your make believe opponent this will make it more natural and automatic making it seem like your reflexes are better when really its all timing. Sparring is the best thing you can do though.

Having great reflexes is like having common sense. You either have it or you don't.

therre is a huge genetic factor here but IMO you can get better by sparring, get your opponent to throw weak punches as fast as he can at you just try and slip them.

Try using the double end bag more often. Speed bag, skip rope, or just having someone throw punches at you.

dont close your eyes when sparring even if you are getting hit over and over again.. if you cant see it your helpless

On a serious note, try shadowboxing in a pool. Roy Jones used to do it all the time.

learn the mayweather padwork. i have figured it out. when i do it, i can easily see why mayweather has such good timing and reflexes. mine feels sharper after i have done it. of course i dont look as good as he does, but its a glimpse of it and it works for me.

Type in on youtube "Danny Green training" you see his trainer drop a tennis ball and he has to catch it before it hits the ground.
