    Jump rope.... for long periods of time... and concentrate of footwork and speed while your doing that... Thats one of the styles i've got down pact and it wouldn't come together until i started jumping rope and mastering tricks and diferent foot combinations while skipping...

    I jump sometimes for 2 hours..

    sometimes i use weights..

      skipping (or jump rope) im a pretty good mover in the ring and its no coincidence im good with a skipping rope too.

        When you are sparring forgot about hitting the guy hard. Force yourself to move around and jab. Do little things when shadowboxing move around and hitting the bag move around. Little things that count

          Try running in heavy construction boots. Frazier and Ali both did it, and after trying it for a couple weeks, I've already experienced a noticeable difference. And, yeah, skipping rope a lot helps too.

            one of the cons of dancing on your toes is that a cleverly timed punch can put your ass down in a hurry cause your balance is so high up.

            now, if you want to know what ali did, study jersey joe walcott. that's where ali got his shuffle step from and some other boxing footwork.

              also, moving around in shallow water and ankle or higher mud will make huge noticable differences and is much better than wearing heavy boots. this is an old school secret so try it out sometime.

                  2 hours staright... non stop.

                  now let me say...

                  this is not needed to be a good boxer..

                  I did it specifically so i wouldn't get tired bouncing for 4-6 rounds straight when sparring... because its hard to bounce if ya legs get tired doing it.

                  It really helps if your trying to imitate ali's style...


                  BUT again this is not really needed for boxing.
