Video Transcript

"The next area that we're going to cover, now that the new student knows at least three combinations, the new student has some footwork now that he can use, what we're going to be doing is some shadowboxing. Whereas a moment ago, when we were working with just the footwork, I don't have the new boxers throwing any punches. I want that footwork instilled into them. They're going to use that for a couple weeks to a month or so, and just get used to the actual footwork. The shadowboxing part is going to be coming now whereas they're going to be throwing punches that they know, only the ones that they know, the three punches that they know already, while working with footwork at the same time. It's not going to be in any particular cross pattern this time, with the six forward and the three back, but it's going to be a combination of everything they know with all the footwork: moving in, moving out, moving left, moving right, forward, backward, circling -a little bit of everything while they're throwing punches at the same time. They'll do this for 3 two-minute rounds, also. Nick, can you show us some shadow boxing, please? That's great. Okay, thanks."
