Cuban style of training...

[bbos]

I never knew shadow boxing carried such importance, I'm going to start shadow boxing every day again, since I can't train at a gym right now in college.

Like I said, it was a documentary, not calling you a liar never even read your post where you mention all your knowledge about the Cuban system. I do find it funny thou that after all those years in Cuba you don't even know it's not "Havana" its "La Habana" with long b. If you say shadowboxing for 2 hrs a day would give Cuban am fighters the edge and that what I saw was an all bs documentary, I take your word for it boss. Olleme chiquitico note ponga comemierda tu!

and you seem kind of bitter over a comment like do your research. i know a lot of Puerto Ricans and they wouldnt get bitter over someting like that, you dont know how proud thoes ppl are. im not sayin your talkin bs i just find it odd thats all. lol.

but seriously i dont care who belives me or not im just sharing information that i have for those who chose to listen.

i know many Puerto Ricans and to say that they all write and think and spell a like is very silly dont you think? and for my second language i think i write very well. and this site is in ingles no?

LOL, you sure are Cuban! Now lets talk boxing Fidel, tell us more about the Cuban system, if you could enlighten us. Those shadow boxing sessions, are they in partners, doing drills, working on something specific, how's that? I mean 2 hrs a day of shadow boxing is pretty much a pro's daily workout time in the gym.

That's very normal, usually we do 20 mins, but that of course depends on your coach. Does your coach keep an eye on you while you shadow box?

sometimes, but not always specially as there are many boxers coming to train in the gym but when he see's some mistake he always tells me like being relax and snap back after throwing and keep hands up and not to be flat footed always be on proper stance all the time.

I live in Puerto Rico, I know many Cubans, can't picture a single Cuban who would write Havana, English or Spanish, you don't know how proud this ppl are. Not saying this dude is talking bs, just thought its odd that's all.

There are cubans in PR?

I totally agree with dchamp. I shadowbox for at least a half hour each day and its done a world of good for me, it gets things to be automatic and smooth (which makes it seem quicker). However theres a big difference between just shadowboxing and shadowboxing well. You really have to work on defense and footwork even though no one is swinging at you so that its automatic and you'll "accidentally" (its no accident) block shots.
