Try to “run” while submerged in water. This will strengthen your limbs for greater street boxing

Foothold

Most sports employ the legs, boxing for the street especially as strong legs are required for strong punches and it will do you good to learn how to have real leg power.

Boxers uses leg twists and firmness. In general, it is important to learn how to stand properly.
The foothold is a simple leg exercise that will make you stand like a wall of steel if
practiced for a long time. Stand erect, keep your legs apart, about 2 and a half feet wide. Bend
them slightly at the knees so that you look like you are riding an invisible horse. Make sure your
butt is out, back is straight, and your shoulders are relaxed and drooping evenly. Look straight
ahead and try to meditate. Put your hands on your waist. Your body weight must be evenly
distributed to both feet, and mostly carried by your heels. Don’t put too much weight on your
toes—if you do, it means you are leaning forward, which is bad posture. Do this stance for a
minute, then increase the time as long as you can tolerate it.
