Quick on my feet.

[Jones Junior]

Hello all.

I've been on/off training for a year and a half. Went to a session the other day and whilst sparring/hitting the bag i was told ive got good technique at turning my body into shots but i need to be quicker on my feet. Im a small guy (65/66kg) and i play football and basketball so without sounding too bigheaded im quite fast. I just wanted to know if anyone could give me any advice on how to move faster. For example, whats the best thing to do after throwing, i can pivot but it doesnt provide me with enough distance. - Please nobody tell me for the 100th time in my life = lead foot goes first etc, now slide and all that.

Many thanks in advance.

Circle the bag, Side step the bag, Slip the bag. work on all 3 at once.

should improve your foot speed among other things

shadow box as much as you can, aiming to move

oh and try getting ankle weights

[Richie-G]

yeah shadowboxing concentrating on footwork is your best bet here
