The kid is good. Implement punching too ehen drilling footwork.
I love doing that but I really have no time.
Pivot to the left ones, then next time when pivoting to the left add left hook.
Pivot to the.right, then next time do it with a right cross.
Stepping backwards - add a couple of jabs.
Side steppngg to left add a 1-2-1. Side stepping to right add a 2-1-2.
My now 80 years coach with an olympic medal has always insisted we use hands too when we drill footwork. He insist on good feet placement and punch throwing.
We seriously warmed up 10 mins going forward and backwards while punching and doing double jabs to left disgonal then switching double jab to right diagonal with the opposite stance.
All of this kind of starts looking like a shadow boxing instead of footwork drills.
To mix it up you can do a round purely with footwork, a round mixed footwork with punches. A round around the bag dedicated to footwork and punching mixed again. Then repeat all that.
I posted already on this thread about it. But not long ago I met an ami boxer a student of my coaches who went setious trough their system. He said the most important is proper setting of feet under the body otherwise you do not punch but.swim. So feet to punching coordination is extremely important. And this is what I notice when I watch the.videos posted in this threat with the.cuban coaches.
Your coach knows whats up!
