Boxing Training Drill

The following images detail a prearranged training drill we use in Hertao. It works very well as a transition between single techniques and sparring for beginners, and as a warm up to focus on good form for more advanced practitioners. It can be done at any level of intensity from slow and relaxed to full speed and power.
