No Gym? Memorize this 6-Step Solo Footwork Drill

With gyms closed due to COVID-19 quarantine, solo training may be your only option for the next couple of weeks. I will guide you through my 6-step #footwork pattern, so you can take your #shadowboxing to a much more realistic level.

6-step Footwork Pattern:
1. Probing Jab
2. Retreating Jab
3. Pivot Cross
4. Advancing 1-2
5. Backpedal 1-2
6. Switch Jab
7-12. (Repeat from #Southpaw)

Practice this footwork pattern at home to build solid fundamentals of balance, hand-foot coordination, and proper weight distribution when punching while moving.

Practice it in order 1-6 (or 1-12), randomize the numbers, or incorporating these movements into your freestyle #boxing, kickboxing, and #MMA shadowboxing.

I live in Italy, here where it’s rougher than other countries. Since our gym has been closed for a while, we decided to pay our monthly membership of the month we couldn’t train into a “fundraiser”. We will then donate what we gather to a hospital. Just today we raised 700€. Our sensei was very proud, and so am I: proud of my gym, and of the fighters community! Especially since mine is a small gym, from a small town of only 16k people.

If you guys go to a gym that has to be closed, you could suggest the same thing we did: the money that the athletes would have payed anyway for the monthly membership could all go to a collective “pool”, and then donated or to research or to local hospitals!
Let’s kick some ass, as fighters, all together! 🙏🏼🙇🏻‍♂️

You should do training livestream, we can train with you lol ( Like this so Shane could seee it 🙂!!)

Shane, please wear light coloured shorts when you're on a dark background like your wall mats so we can see how your whole body moves. In this video (maybe because of the new string LEDs) your shorts blend into the background and make it difficult to visualize the whole body movement. Thanks for this video : )

[davybigfly]

Shane's got perfect technique man. Damn.

This as a basis for shadowboxing just took my striking flight plan to a whole new level 🤯

[laraaho]

This is so helpful. You hit the nail on the head when you say a lot of gyms overlook how to move and punch at the same time. Makes shadowboxing hard when you haven't broken it down like you do here. Thanks.

Definitely needed this, don’t want to go to a gym with a mask on

[DCoreB]

One of the best videos I've seen from you and the cleanest I've seen you. In spite of the pandemic, you are in rare form.

Covid-19 can't touch my footwork.

[iamgribs]

I do very similar footwork drills all the time. This is good stuff for beginners

[jovanystalaqui]

Wow you read minds, that's exactly what i was thinking about getting from your channel

[dabeastfromdaweast]

You do such an excellent job at explaining things. You emphasized the necessity for footwork in all styles of fighting, you illustrated the proper technique for footwork so people don't overextend, all while showing how this defensive mindset can chain into counters for anything from muay thai, boxing, or even MMA. Been following you for years and never stopped loving your stuff.

[simongraham]

This is great. I've watched you for years and you've become very concise and effective in your videos.

[zikotarghi]

Props for thinking about the community, you're truly the best

[hassansattar]

very helpful had to leave my gym a few weeks ago and this definitely helps with workouts. pls make more 'no gym' style videos maybe something as a replacement for lifting weights (building muscle workout) or something for cardio

[ahaynes]

Thank you for these videos. I'm a total novice and I'm learning a hell of a lot from you during this lockdown!

[longthanly]

Excellent techniques.

Thank you for posting this video on YouTube.

Movements trained solo using a fixed system/pattern at first, then picked apart to train fluidly... Very reminiscent of Kata; in this particular case, Kihongata to be precise. You even had a Gedan barai in there... 😊
