Heavy bags don't hit back. But when you hit the double-end bag, it rebounds back right at you and by this you will learn to duck, weave, slip etc.

MAGon Veteran Registered: 07/22/03 Posts: 1723 Loc: Miami, Fl.	I never said in my posts that there was a sameness in working out with the punching, double-ended and/or heavy bag. In fact, when I wrote: Quote: I'll agree that, by itself, that's not earth shattering. Add the double-ended bag (An even more mobile target) and the heavy bag, and you have some worthwhile skill-honing going on. I meant they complement each other. My question was directed at the methodology many boxers use to hit the striking bag. I wasn't concerning myself to the double-ended bag or the heavy one, except as a passing thought. _________________________ Just when you think something is foolproof, they come out with a new and improved type of fool.

Stormdragon Who Dares Wins Professional Poster Registered: 08/05/04 Posts: 3406 Loc: Salem, OR	Here's an off the wall thought, maybe it has nothing to do with punching technique at all, maybe it's simply a way to build reflexes, timing, etc in a very convenient way. As long as you don't get it in your head that that's how to throw a punch then it's fine. I do stuff all day that doesn't mirror punching at all but it doesn't hurt anything. _________________________ Member of DaJoGen MMA school under Dave Hagen and Team Chaos fight team under Denver Mangiyatan and Chris Toquero, ran out of Zanshin Martial Arts in Salem Oregon: http://www.zanshinarts.org/Home.aspx,

TimmyJ Newbie Registered: 10/22/10 Posts: 13 Loc: New Zealand	We do it for speed, timing, reflexes and endurance. Its just another drill for improving punching. And another reason why no one can match boxers at punching lol _________________________ Pain is weakness leaving the body The more you sweat in the gym the less you bleed in battle
