| what you benefit is simply speed and footwork, ofcourse you also learn the technique a little bit better. |

Shadow boxing can help teach rythm and timing as well as build up cardio

So would you consider this to be a boxer's kata.

I guess the only difference is that in shadow boxing you have the chance to do your 'favourite' techniques but in kata you are required to perform new and different techniques that you may not have used before. |

| not only that, but shadowboxing is spontaneous. It gets you in the habit of throwing spontaneous combinations, nothing preset. Also, there are applications to techniques found in kata that take modification or interpretation to make work. With shadowboxing, there is no guesswork. |

Very true SevenStar.
I think a mixture of the shadow boxing and kata would help peoples training quiet a bit. Kata for learning new techniques that give you a number of different appoaches to the same goal, and shadow boxing so you have a chance to practice applying the techniques from your favoured fighting position along with other techniques you know. |
