Meet Footwork Routines: Move Better, Not Just More

Great fighters win the battle of the feet before they win the exchange. With our latest update, FightFlow now includes Footwork Routines: pre-built, voice-led drills that teach you how to move with intent, create angles, and control distance—without needing a partner or coach on standby.

Why We Built Dedicated Footwork Training

Most solo boxing or Muay Thai sessions start with combinations and end with conditioning. Footwork often gets whatever time is left. That’s backwards. Your ability to enter, exit, and pivot safely is what makes every strike land and every defensive read possible.

Footwork Routines fix that by giving you:

• Structured movement scripts so you’re not just pacing around.
• Voice-led pacing that keeps your eyes up instead of glued to a screen.
• Difficulty ladders that match your speed and conditioning.
• Zero setup time—pick a routine and start moving.

What’s Inside Footwork Routines

• Pre-Built Movement Plans: Each routine comes with a name, description, style, and a set of steps already sequenced for you. No guessing.
• Pacing Options: Choose Slow (1.5x timing), Mid (1.0x), or Fast (0.75x) to match your level or the day’s energy.
• Routine Styles: Scripted flows for fundamentals, reactive mixes for fight-like chaos, and varied patterns to keep you honest.
• At-a-Glance Cards: Searchable list with difficulty badges (green/orange/red), style tags, and step counts so you can pick the right challenge fast.
• One-Tap Playback: Select a routine, set duration, hit Start. FightFlow translates the sequence into a session with clear TTS calls.

How to Train With Footwork Routines

1. Open Training → Footwork Routines.
2. Pick your pace: Start with Slow to engrain mechanics, then move to Mid for rhythm, and Fast for fight speed.
3. Scan the style badge: Scripted = clean reps, Reactive = unpredictable pivots and exits, Various = mixed patterns.
4. Start Session: FightFlow calls out every step—step in, pivot left, drop step, reset—so you can stay in stance with your eyes up.
5. Finish and Review: Save the session to see it in your history alongside your other work.

Pro tip: Pair Footwork Routines with Defense Focus rounds. Move, then immediately respond to defensive cues to connect your feet to your head movement.

Routines We Love Right Now

• Angles & Exits (Scripted): Step in on the jab, pivot off the cross, and exit on a 45. Perfect for building safe entries.
• Pressure & Pull (Reactive): Forward pressure steps followed by quick pulls and lateral exits—great for learning to draw counters.
• Southpaw Switches (Various): Stance switches baked in so both sides stay honest.

Each routine already has delays and repetitions tuned for natural pacing. You just choose speed and duration; FightFlow handles the rest.

Why This Matters for Fighters

• Ringcraft Without a Ring: Practice corner escapes, angle cuts, and center control in a garage or hotel room.
• Better Balance & Timing: Movement-first drills teach you to strike off stable feet instead of reaching or falling forward.
• Conditioning With Purpose: Footwork at fight tempo taxes your legs and lungs while reinforcing technical positioning.
• Offline and Hands-Free: No internet needed, no screen staring—just cues and movement.
