There's a lot you can do at home. There is your movement practice - tenkan and irimi, breathing exercises and ken and jo katas and suburi that you could practice

Also as a boxer does shadow boxing, you could practice your techniques with an imaginary uke. You need to visualise the proper positioning and movement to do this. Its not as easy as it sounds cos it takes a lot of concentration and focus.

Hope this helps.

All the best and happy training
