foot work

what are some good drills or exercises to help with foot work? 

[Migs]

it depends on what you are trying to accomplish.  some what more speed others have speed but want more coordination.  Also depends on whether you use kicks heavily or punch more.

so i'm told and yeah...i've been doing more boxing..my kicks have become more of a defense or finisher at the end of combos or to keep people from coming in.  I don't throw them as much as most but i do use'em from time to time.

What are you training for?  Boxing, kickboxing, mma?  Each one has different considerations.

how can you tell someone about footwork drills over the internet?

i'd say predominately boxing..i just always tend to go to it in all my fights lately...save a few elbows or knees or a kick check here and there...boxing is it. If that doesn't work it's usually kicks.  Still not thrilled with my ground game at all. I'm learning more and more about movement each class and balance.  That has been my achilles heal...


my balances was so bad in the beginning that if you stopped me at any point in time with an overhand right or hook you could barely push me and fall over...now i'm solid. Im' working on lately is moving to the side to open someone up.  It's one thing to watch someone do it well. It's another to try it and learn it.  I'm loving it though.  Makes me wish I started sooner.  I'm drooling for a fight though and no one will give me one yet.  Not because i'm skilled...it's because i'm bigger than anyone else in my class right now and my instructor feels like i'm not ready to spar with him yet.

Walk into any good boxing gym and they'll be more than happy to put you into the mix.  Not too hard getting a partner at a legit boxing gym.

Jump lots of rope.  Find a good teacher that knows what hes doing and can back up his teaching.  BUt like everyone has said, boxing, wrestling, mma all have different types of movement and footwork so its a bit difficult to tell.
