Boxing Footwork and Conditioning Drills by A Million Styles Boxing.

Drills with a Weighted Vest and Pulley System. "Floor Work" 3 minute boxing drills

In boxing and other combat sports, we often here the phrase "Styles Make Fights". I have had different coaches. They all taught different styles. That excites me. In most boxing manuals we are taught one way to train the sport. In reality there has been hundreds of World Champions and all of them fought different. That thought got me thinking about Martial Arts like Karate, Jiu Jitsu, or the other Martial Arts that use different color belts as recognition of mastery relative to that particular art. You never here of the people that participate in those arts say "once I get my purple belt, that's all I need". They continue and try to Master all the forms and techniques in their art. I wondered why in boxing do we still hear, "He's an outside fighter" or "He's an inside fighter". I think it's because we stopped striving for mastery of our sport, boxing.

A Million Styles Boxing is not an over night process. It requires attention to detail, great film study habits, an open mind, and love. Drills are what makes A Million Styles Boxing possible. Drills; Systematic training by multiple repetitions. "Practice makes perfect". Every coach knows how he would like to build his fighter. Sometime the missing teaching tool is not knowledge of the sport but the "Method of Teaching". For example I can instruct my fighter to move around the ring as a training technique or I can give him a specific footwork drill like moving forwards and backwards for an entire 3 minutes without mistakes. I believe in the training benefits of drills like these no matter how boring they may become and if the fighter makes mistakes I give them push ups at the end of the round. Often times the fighter will start correcting himself; a) wanting to get better b) those push ups get heavy.

If an aspiring athlete or even a great pro athlete can master all the drills he or she now has a great foundation to add too. Sure I could rush you along and you might even be good. However this training manual is for those that desire more from their training. Those that want to be challenged physically but more importantly mentally. For those that want to leave the gym everyday and say I learned something. No more going to the gym with the same routine, four rounds rope, four rounds shadow, four rounds pads, four rounds bag, push ups, and sit ups . Instead every day work on something. It's like a video game. Your player has attributes, things they are good or not so good at. AMSB philosophy is, when you are not specifically preparing for a fight, build the attributes your not so good at. I can't game plan for someone with A Million Styles Boxing.
