The Importance of Boxing Footwork

Video Transcript

In this segment we're going to be covering footwork. A good boxer hopefully has good footwork. The art of footwork, we try to at the gym, teach in a whole different atmosphere and we try not to even combine punches with it at first. What we're going to show you today is how to start from the basics with the footwork and then some drills that we use to go through learning the footwork. Most of the boxers here will actually do the footwork drills for approximately three or four weeks before they drop them out of their actual routine once they learn the footwork. And we try not to use any punches with it at all. What we're trying to do is we're trying not to cross our feet as we go left and right. We're trying not to take big giant steps as we're advancing or retracting. We're trying to move smoothly. We're not trying to move choppily. But we're also trying to dip and bob and weave and all of the other things associated with a good boxing program while still retaining a good stance, while still retaining flexibility and while still retaining good shoulder width apart. So boxing is very conducive to having good footwork. Thank you.
