Dudley32 master of disaster Registered: 10/25/05 Posts: 482 Loc: Indiana	first of all I am somewhat confused on what the actual practical use of speedbag training is. obviously it is arm work and me training wtf taekwondo is this just simply a waste of my time. Or does the timing or whatever is gained give me any sort of edge on comp.? Matt _________________________ Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect Practice makes perfect.

However, if you're only training for TKD competition, that won't affect your performance much. _________________________ Self Defense (Website by Marc MacYoung, not me)

Even after learning how to use one, I still don't see any relationship to practical fighting skill. I'm pretty sure that dexterity and hand speed are a worthy traits for people who punch. Apparently, repeatedly moving your hands at maximum speed will gradually improve the speed of your punches. Heavy bag = power; speed bag = speed. Pretty straightforward principle. Although frankly, I'd prefer to work on power over speed. The speed of your footwork is more important than the speed of your punches. A heavy bag is much more worthwhile training with.
