Dodge exercise and other new features

Note: this article is old and the app has changed a lot since. For an up to date look at how defense works in the app, with dedicated dodge and counter punching workouts, the technique catalogue, and a combo creator that lets you add defenses, read training boxing defense at home with the app instead.

This week in version 1.14 of the Shadow Boxing app, we built a new exercise to our already long list of workouts and gave you a simple way to create your own boxing workout. As some more countries enter into lockdown again, it’s important to stay active so we hope that this update will make you want to train!

Dodge Exercise

We’ve added a new dodge exercise focusing on reaction speed, slipping and ducking as this is just as important as the jab! The app will also try to trick you by mixing up the rhythm so you don’t become a robot and always keep the same pace.

However even if the focus is on movement, you will also be countering with simple punches, like jabs or crosses. Sometimes the best defense is attack, what can I say!

So overall let’s just say that you won’t throw a lot of punches but you will move around a lot!

Build your boxing training at home

We’ve also added a new way to create a workout available in the Quick Start menu, this way you can customize a few things quickly without getting into all the details of a training. Some of the exercises are only for premium users, but there are still the classics like pad work, freestyle and others!
