Running and walking

[j]

i'm not sure that punching while jogging will do much for you. otherwise, listen to pork chop.

just don't ever run then stop immediately.

On the contrary, It is a good exersize to get your body used to being in balance while punching. And keeping in rythim while punching and moving. I have never had balance issues, but have noticed a few trainers sugest it to kids who lean too much with there jabs and straight punches. I tried it an noticed the benifits. Wouldnt call it a magic exersize to correct problems but a good muscke memory exersize. Try it you may change your mind

advantages for running are stamina, calories...everything

One other thing I like about punching while running, that I haven't seen mentioned is that you get using your feet in coordination with your hands, punching as you push off with each step so you get the most behind your punches.

Right on that, the thought crossed my mind after I posted my last comment. I agree that it helps your timing and coordination in tandem. Its a good exersize. J from what I have read is more oriented with the marial arts. It wouldn't in my opinion be very beneficial for that type of defense oriented fight platform. So I agree in a way with J. I like the exersize and see why trainers perscribe it to younger guys.

Well it's not that he hates running, but he'd rather shuffle along doing his 5 elements instead of straight jogging. (he'll get what i mean)

I got u,
I also didn't think he meant he hated running, he just didn't see the benifit of punching while doing it.
How does that 5 element thing work anyway out of curiousity

5 element thing corresponds to 5 different strikes which i think you can get from emptyflower.com - i remember they had decent movies and explanations.

each of the 5 element strikes has a sort of shuffle step associated with it. The boxing equivalent would be the shuffling footwork associated with a 1-2.

One of the famous hsing yi masters in china supposedly did 5 miles of a certain move every day to & from work and the story goes that he could knock down a brick wall (think Chinese style brick wall, like from Jet Li's My Father is a Hero where the bricks are more like plates and not very well mortared).

damn could you imagine 5 miles of sidesteps pivots and shuffling? You'd be invincible.
