Stand in a relaxed fighting stance with your hands up
Keep your chin tucked and your elbows in
Move lightly on the balls of your feet
Practice basic punches like jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts
Return your hands to guard after every punch
Add defensive movements like slips, rolls, and pivots
Visualize an opponent and react to imagined attacks
Combine punches with footwork and head movement
Keep your breathing steady and controlled
Start slowly and focus on proper form
Increase speed only after technique stays clean
Shadowbox in rounds with short rests between them
Stay loose and maintain balance throughout
Use the full space around you and change angles
Finish with a light cooldown and stretching
