I'm debating creating something to include in my shadowboxing outside. Picture this. You create small cardboard pieces on which you write where each punch should land. You link them together with a string simulating the height of an average 6' human. Each string drops from a bar at the top at varying lengths depending on the cardboard piece's position.
Then you practice your combo speed on it by hanging the whole setup from a branch. 1-2-3, 1-2-3 hitting the right cardboard "pads".
Is there anything like this already out there? Or another poor man's solution? Maybe I just do this with shadowboxing by imagining the opponent as I'm already doing. E.g., I saw Kovalev punching a leaf on a tree @
