Yeah, that's among the few "boxing games" you can hardly play alone without it.
It's also a good investment in one's health capital, that's the sort of stuff you can practice at pretty much any given age, with pretty much any given physical condition, within reasonable boundaries of course. If you're in a wheel chair or have a stage 4 bone cancer is going to be a tad complicated
For optimum training, it requires additional space all around it. The name of the game being "attack going in and out, while circling around dealing with the rotating thing" https://youtu.be/OOngAQPCves?t=1 (I'm not a fan of the helicopter kicks but you get the idea)
That alone gives/maintains overall good habits, and not just in boxing btw
Technique, speed, power. In that order. First you work slow and clean, then you add a bit of speed, and a bit more, and more. Once you reach a comfortable level, you can start adding power/sheer physical force (if needed because sometimes you don't need it since the power is in the tool you use, a spear, a knife, a gun, any given tool). And it's true not only for combat stuffs.
