Have you ever heard of fighting your own reflection?
I think that, is what shadow boxing is.

Mind to discuss?

On a psychologicial level, you are fighting your own reflection, as in the mirror in front of you; etc.

Either way. I'll check that out. (My u-tube sucks ######)

There must be two versions of "shadow boxing".

Or, maybe where I got that word from, has given me a word which is very 'rarely' used.

Ok. The defination is not a one to do with fighting anything- it is a problem, psychological, that i'd wished discussed....

Are you an idiot?

I am trying to explain the word shadow boxing to you. But idiots do not understand what the word shadow boxing means.

Right.

It is about shadow boxing. It is a term I have heard used to be described as fighting your own reflection "psychologically" and "not physically"... (aka not physical fighting shadows)

ct will you be my defender in the thread about members "i jus chewed out existabrent on IM"? I need a defense attorney. If you wouldn't mind I could explain my case to you through messages.

No. I think you should "defend " yourself. How old are you now anyway?

I never said that you weren't cool. I only put a word that I thought you

wanted to know that represented you. I never intended to make a

statement about what I felt but only a GUESS at what word you were

looking for to describe yourself. Sorry if you took it the wrong way.

My bf told me about this the other day - I wanted to start kickboxing but he said shadow boxing was much more fun and better exercise.

Im trying to locate somewhere I can do this!!

Simple.

It's sorta like your reflection is disappearing form existance.

I personally was hoping that someone could elaborate on the term, or, possibly, if anyone knew what it meant?

Losing credibility?

Now that again is just a saying, not meaning I agree with it.

You are not familar with the term stroke.


People that have life cricises and such fight for many mentally tormenting things, all related. It is obvious to expect such to occur.

Here the meaning is to fight with a character of your own imagination.
Thus you are fighting as if against yourself and improving your technique as well as getting many new ideas.

It can be done infront of a mirror, or not.

I don't understand.. what's the point ? Wouldn't it be better training if you fight a real person ?

Well, you'd understand if you had the experience of both.
Don't have the time to explain now.
