How Long TilI Feel Confident With My Footwork?

Answer 1

you will know yourself when you have perfected your footwork, it will feel right

Answer 2

The answer is once you are 'sparring effectively'.

'Sparring effectively' means your fitness firstly is good enough to stay in there for 3 minutes straight and still be fresh enough to concentrate on what the coach is teaching.

Secondly its getting used to trading punches and getting hit, and still being able to concentrate on what the coach is telling you.

Round about a week or two after that all the bodyparts start  working together, and you really feel like a boxer.

this timeline?Depends on many factors but if you apply yourself , train and spar often certainly within the first couple of months.2-3 or so, you will feel 'it'

Answer 3

Alreet mate, how did your fight go?

Your foot work will come in time, just stay relaxed and the swiftness will come.  Ask your coach for a couple of drills you can practice to help develop this.  I use shadow walking, which is very hard to describe it is something you have to see.  I use it to confuse my opponent into thinking I am going one way when I go in another direction.
