Hi, are there any drills that you guys use to keep your shoulder relax while sparring or hitting the mitts or heavy bag? Thank you.
 
Lots of shadow boxing with relaxed shoulders in mind.
When you spar or hit the mitts, its difficult to concentrate also on relaxing when you are a beginner... Easier on heavy bag and specially on shadow boxing.
 
Service yourself 10x before training so your shoulders will be nice and relaxed
 
I've started holding my fists up, and circling them in BIG circles on a horizontal plane at shoulder level. Like an eggbeater. The whole time I try to keep my hands actively externally rotated(elbows in) and my hands up(elbows up(serratus)), but everything else relaxed. Especially my neck and stuff.

Here. Kinda like this but bigger circles.
