My last post led me to understand that i need practice to achieve the flow state n all, being stiff would automatically disappear with practice but what exactly is a flow state is it like bivol's shadowboxing like he keeps moving with a bounce step and punching or is it something different?

I already have a problem with being stiff and freezing up but i am trying to stay in a bounce step while throwing my combos during shadow boxing so is that the way ? Or should i try something different ? Any and all help is appreciated

Also my calves stiffen up after these so if anyone has any tips for that it will help too

So I've been training boxing for about 4 or 5 months

The problem i face is that i freeze up when receiving punches, plus i get stiff during sparring, my coach says that is the biggest thing i need to improve rn

This has led me to believe that i am not progressing at all

Any tips to counter this would be appreciated or if i should continue this or not or am i being a lil too hasty ?
