Street Boxing Accuracy Training

Put a rubber ball the size of your fist in a sock or net and tie it with a long string. Tie the
string firmly to the ceiling and let it swing freely. Try hitting the ball with a bat or tennis racket,
or with your kicks or punches. Hit it while it swings wildly. This will sharpen your accuracy.
Sports that can use this training include street boxing, the martial arts, and sports that hit balls.

a. A “Makiwara” is a padded wood designed for hitting with the hands and feet.
This is especially used in practicing martial arts. Another effective procedure is
tying a piece of paper on one of its side near the corners with two long strings that
are then tied to the ceiling. As it is suspended, try to tear it by hitting the bottom
part with your punches or kicks. Don’t cheat by hitting it on its top side.

b. Light a candle and try to extinguish the fire with the wind that comes from the
force of your punches and kicks. Don’t cheat by touching the wick to put off the
light.

When you are able to tear the paper or extinguish the fire with just the wind from the
force of your arms and legs, you develop good arm and leg power. Hence, this is also applicable
to boxing for the street and other sports that require arm and leg power.
