BACK 2 BASICS BOXING FOOTWROK DRILLS:

STEP-DRAG
Ahhhh, the classic step-drag. It’s the basic footwork drill that all coaches make beginners do to keep their feet on the ground. The nuance here is that I want you to focus only on moving a few inches at a time. Think like 2-3 inches.

How to practice the step-drag:

Step with one foot (a few inches) in any direction, and then reset the other foot quickly to recover your boxing stance on the new position.
Reach with your toes with the stepping foot. And push off with your toes on the dragging foot. (The common problem is when fighters rock back off their front heel when going back.)
Be quick but RELAXED (not too explosive or too stiff).
Resist the urge to step far, that’s not the point of this drill!
Don’t jump! Keep your weight down.

Tips for step-drag:

* Use multiple direction ( forward, back, left, right)
* Add punches into your step-drag drills
* Incorporate mini bands around the ankle to help with foot
distance and engaging your hips
* BREATHE with your movements

The promotion of physical exercise and activity through physical education is very important for all, but especially for individuals with special needs, like youth with Asperger syndrome (AS)

Note: For kids with autism, studies show that vigorous activity for more than 20 minutes can help decrease stereotypical behaviors, hyperactivity, and aggression. Exercise not only helps children with autism better engage in the environment, but it also helps promote weight loss and leads to better overall health.
