Are you looking for ways to maximise the benefits of your punching bag workout?
It’s really important not to view your punching bag work in isolation, you need to work it into an overall development program.
In this video I walk you through a great punching bag drill that will keep you challenged in all of your punching bag work.
It also provides a great basis for counter punching, which is always a bonus.
The video is in 3 parts:
1. Preparation - designing your punching bag session using drills
2. Execution - a demonstration of the punching bag session
3. Review - a summary of our punching bag drill work.
The key to this punching bag drill is using your ranges (edge of range, long range and mid range) and sequencing boxing skills together in the form punch - foot move/body move - punch.
In Round 1 you use 1 and 1, Round 2 we go 1 and 2 and in Round 3 we go 1 and 3.
The represent how many punches you throw on the punching bag with the ‘and’ being any other defensive skill e.g. lay back, roll, slip etc.
This approach means that you are automatically defending the likely response to your first punch, and then automatically delivering your follow up punch or punches.
This is where you are building the basis of a good counter punching style.
In each round of your punching bag session, you will throw combinations of no less than 2 punches, with the key point being the separator that you use - your counter punching separator.
You can vary the punching power and speed to create really dynamic punching bag sessions.
Think about building your punching sequences/combinations with attacks to the flank and centre line.
This is all about getting your boxing brain working, instilling discipline and building repeatable patterns on the punching bag. The boxing drills floor layout really help you achieve this.
Lots of different ways of approaching a punching bag session, this is just one and I hope that you enjoy working with it.
The gloves
The gloves I am using in the video RDX C4 Cortex eSeries - 12 oz. These boxing gloves are for punching bag use only, if you want to use your gloves with sparring, always go with 16oz.
