Practicing Elite Footwork in VR With Thrill Of The Fight 2

One of the most common questions we get is:
Can you actually get better at real boxing by training in VR?

The answer is yes — if you use it correctly.

In this session inside Thrill of the Fight 2, I take inspiration from one of my favorite fighters to study: Vasyl Lomachenko.

Lomachenko is known for constant angles, circling off the line, and landing while staying out of danger. That’s exactly what I set out to explore here — not at full speed, but at ~50% pace.

Why slower?

Because slowing things down allows:

Cleaner movement

Better balance awareness

Safer experimentation

And real technical discovery

While working rounds against the AI, I explored different ways to step off-line, shuffle for angles, and load shots without overcommitting. One sequence that emerged naturally was a small shuffle off to the right, a subtle forward load, then a left hand followed by a right hook — all while staying outside the opponent’s centerline.

At full speed, you miss these details.
At controlled speed, you find them.

This is the real value of VR boxing as a training tool:
Not just conditioning — but intentional movement practice, exploration, and skill transfer.

I may never fight exactly like Lomachenko. He's the best of the best!
But the ability to study, test, and adapt elite movement concepts safely is where real growth happens.
