Shadow fighting in front of a mirror.

In an earlier post I talked about shadow fighting ranging from shadow boxing to shadow karate style training. I would like to add the importance of shadow fighting using a mirror. By training in front of a mirror it is very easy to alter mistakes that you may be making but not realising. When training with your coach, hopefully you will be pointed out of them, but we have all trained on our own, only to find us getting sloppy and no one correcting us. The mirror will show you points such as, a drop of guard, not striking in the intended direction, not being loose enough with your stance and many other flaws you may have. It helped me by quickly showing me i wasn't moving far enough when sidestepping and also that i wasn't kicking straight enough with the side kick. Train loosely, not at full speed and you will be able to see any adjustments in your form that may need to be made.
