I'll be doing about 30-45 mins of EST work and I want to do shadow boxing. Problem is I don't know enough good combos to keep me busy that long..any suggestions?
I've been to Muy Thai classes and lessons, but it's been since before I was preggo. Sooo, probably was taught most of them, but might have forgotten a few:
jab, hook, elbows, body shots, round kicks, push kicks, knees
What she said. I only have regular boxing experience. Don't neglect your feigns and ducks, which also set up (if you're right-handed) a left hook and right straight/uppercut.

Since you did lessons that included kicks, I would suggest incorporating them. It certainly adds intensity to the drill if you are adding kicks.
I think that I wold look more towards a "basic practice type of approach as the warm up. Anyway, I am sure you have a basic warm up from your MA experience. If you want to add kicks, I would start with simple 1-2. left jab, right cross with footwork to "close to jab range" ). (and the reverse, right jab. left cross and foot work. Then, go to a 1-2-3, with the 3 being (WOW I just realized I do not know how to write this in English) for lack of a better word a right foot cross??? Left foot forward, left jab, right cross and then right kick where your right foot is the back foot of the kick (as opposed to being the forward foot like in a jab). Don't use a round house kick as it is slow and not to my mind a "shadow boxing" type kick- a straight kick where the target would be the solar plexuis. In shadow kicking people have a tendency to get sloppy for speed make sure you retract your kicks and the your kicks are not pulling your forward. Then switch to left forward 1-2-3 combos. After that try mixing the 1-2 part -up-down, head shot, body shot, body kick. When that is smopoth from both sides, try a continuous, 123, 456 left forward, then right forward. 3 would be a right kick and then the foot is retracted placed on the floor and slid forward for distancing into the 456, where the 4 is the right jab, and so on.
Not sure if that is what you are after. If is is and it "works" for you, let me know and I can suggest some other combinations. Though it "sounds" easy, it can be quite difficult at first.
hope this helps

This is what I'm after, thanks! The only problem is that I never memorized the numbers for the hits/kicks so I'm mostly totally confused by what you wrote.
So to summarize:
warm-up - we did various thinks like jump rope, push-ups, squats
start with 1-2's jab/hook with footwork and then do the reverse
then 1,2,3 (push kick?) kicks (skip round kicks for shadow boxing) then reverse with other side push kick
then I get lost with 456, but sort of get the progression to body, upper, lower
Did I understand correctly? So would I do the progressions timed as rounds?
I'll second the recommendation for Bas's product. And yeah he talks technique.

Don't worry - I confuse myself often. As far as I know there is not a number for specific punches or kicks, i was thinking more in terms of the progression.

I think whatever "warms you up" works fine, though I like to do basic kicks and punches in my warm up to make sure the muscles I will be using are adequately warmed up.

then I get lost with 456,
The 4-5-6 would be the reverse side.
for example if you take 1-2 to be a left right combination (it could easily be a right left combination if you led w/ with rt hand) It could be a jab-cross. Or it could easily be a hook/ body shot.
by 1-2-3, in the example I gave I meant left jab-right cross- and a straight kick from the following foot - in this case the right foot. Then after retracting and placing the right foot side it forward and do the reverse. Right jab - left cross - left kick. (that is the 4-5-6)
Then when you have this working smoothly you could start to mix up the punches, hook- cross -kick. Then mix up the targets- head-body -body. Then you can add blocks, dodges, etc. What I was suggesting is try that an see if you like it. If you do, I would be happy to write out some more routines/patterns for you.
Send me an email if you would like me to, (I am sure Russ has my email)
cheers

Cap> I really like it. I just got the torrent so I sort of bypassed the whole pricing point. He said that he was coming out with a v2 a long time ago and I was just going to pay for the new one when it came out....of course it never did, at least not yet.
I've done it hundreds of times. You're not going to be a fighter but you'll get a fun little workout that takes 30min and you can do it in your home.
