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.

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 @
