Drills to build reflexes and coordination

Question

Hi

What drills are there?

Preferably something that doesn't entail anyone else, or a lot of equipment.

Answer 1

Repetitve drills build both reflexes and coordination.

Coordination requires balance, strength, and agility.  Some drills I do to improve my training is:

-Speed bag drills for hand eye coordination

-Heavy bag drills for punch consistency and repitition-(use head movement)

-Punch out drills on heavy bag (30-60 seconds non-stop)

-Jump roping is good for coordination

-Also alot of shadow/mirror boxing too

Other things I do is use focus mits with a partner.  Bounce a basketball against the wall hard and prevent it from hitting my head (silly, I know).

Also, I found focusing on proper footwork while on the bag carries over into live situations very well.  It is imperitive that you incorporate footwork at all times.   Start slow...and build up.

Hope this helps.
