What are the boxing practice techniques?

1. Backward slide: Starting from the basic posture, slide the right foot back one step, followed by the left foot, while both feet maintain the original basic posture and distance.

The backward slide is a step used for retreating to defend or to counterattack. When sliding backward, lift your right foot slightly and push the ground forward with your left foot with short elastic force. The step length of the backward slide is the same as the forward slide.

2. Left slide: Slide the left foot horizontally to the left, push off the ground with the right foot and slide horizontally to keep up with the original posture.

This is combined with a move to the left. At the beginning of the movement, lift your left foot slightly, use the elastic force of your right foot to push the ground to the right, and push your body to the left. When sliding, you should wipe the ground and not jump.

3. Right slide: Start from the basic posture, first lift the right foot slightly, and at the same time use the elastic force of the left foot pushing the ground to the left to push the right foot to slide one step to the right.

Coordinate with the footwork of dodging to the right. Same as left slide, but in opposite direction. When sliding to the left, in order to keep the body's center of gravity stable after moving, you should pay attention to landing with the outer edge of the sole of the foot first when the sliding foot lands, so as to avoid losing balance due to excessive movement of the body.
