shadow boxing

/ˈʃæd.oʊ ˈbɑk.sɪŋ/noun / verb
ELI5 mode

Shadow boxing is a solo training exercise in boxing and martial arts where a person practices punches, footwork, and defensive moves against an imaginary opponent, helping to build technique and endurance without physical contact. In modern usage, it has evolved beyond the ring to metaphorically describe rehearsing skills or ideas alone, such as preparing for a presentation or mentally sparring with challenges in everyday life.
