In martial arts , repetition is the key to success. The great thing about shadowboxing is that it is a tool that can be applied to any discipline. Once you take a class and leave Elite with a lesson, try and take the time to shadowbox that motion anywhere between 5-15 minutes at home. Once you begin to revisit new information daily, you won’t find yourself trying to relearn the same information next time around. Instead, you’ll find yourself refining what you already know when the next lesson comes around. This can be used with new techniques out of your Krav Maga class. If you learned a specific combination in a Muay Thai clinic that you want to use when you spar in Kickboxing , shadowbox it. In Kali , an easy way to remember all those motions is to repeat the process at home. Even in MMA and Jiu-Jitsu , you can run through the motions of any take downs that you learn! Reviewing your information will ultimately lead to retention which builds your technique.
