shadow box
practise boxing in the air
To shadow box means to practise boxing by punching the air without hitting an opponent.
Hear it in real life
Why are you punching the air?
I'm shadow boxing to warm up.
I shadow box for five minutes before I start lifting weights.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I shadow box against my partner to practise punches.
Say: I shadow box while my partner watches me.
Shadow boxing means punching the air without an opponent; boxing with a partner is sparring.
