BOXING was one of the first words found, but until I found SHADOW much later, I never thought to put them together. SHADOWBOXING is such a great word for this matrix, but are there any other solves that don’t include it?
That’s what I was wondering too! I tried making the present tense SHADOWBOX work, but to no avail.
JAWS SHADOWBOXING
JOINS-SHADOWBOXING
OA quickly. Boxing first try then jaw then shadow voila! Perfect TI many other short solves
Jobs – Shadowboxing

Saw SHADOWBOX pretty quickly and tried to see if JINGOS might work, was about to start messing with other possibilities when I had my “Duh!” moment and saw the -ING ending and stuck JIBS on the front.
Oa

A fun one today. No jabs to my head while working it.
JOBS SHADOWBOXING. Took longer than it should have!!
Jaws – Shadowboxing
Shadowboxing – goji
When I worked out SHADOWBOXING and saw only the J left, I thought of starting with JOBS or JAWS but (d’oh!) didn’t spot JABS.
As Father Guido Sarducci used to say, I blame-uh myself.
Bhajis – Shadowboxing
Shadowboxing gaijin
Shadowboxing Goji
