I was pissing blood so had to take a month off hard training (docs said no vigourous exercise; the issue wasn't just contact), spent it shadowboxing and developing my hips, especially doing this to get better at holding my feet in the air. I do it throughout the day whenever I have a few seconds:

I did something really clever in boxing yesterday but I forget exactly what it was. I read the boy and thought "if I do this then this then this, I can probably land over his left shoulder". Maybe it was jab, right-step, right-cross. Satisfying when a plan works perfectly.

Working on a mentally relaxed state-of-mind. Sometimes I have it and sometimes I don't, but when I am in the right state, I can see a combo coming and stay in a small defensive position and defend a whole combo with a series of small movements. Also generally trying to move less, not over-react, just tiny movements are fine.
