The secret

shadow boxing is awsome, but I highly recommend that you have somebody watching you if you havent been around long. Even if you have been around long you can not see when you do wrong, bad habits. Thats where a good trainer is priceless, they will see..........Rockin'

even people who are not afraid of bing hit can get tense. there is emotional tenseness and physical tenseness. first timers have both.

also, losing/failing is a great way to learn. so failing is a good thing - as long as your failing is part of your training and not the outcome/product.

That's a really good post.

I do have the same question as some friends above: is it better to shadowbox with gloves on? with weights? free hands?

Thanks in advance!

shadowboxing is great as someone said but nothing beats sparring.
