This is really good stuff, great channel. There's obvious wisdom and experience behind everything you say, it's superb basics and philosophies for beginners

I'm 57 and just starting in with bag work for general fitness alongside my other exercises. This was a great motivator. Thank you!

Jim--much appreciated. I'm about to turn 55. bit I've been doing this all of my life, so do not get discouraged if some drills are difficult or you are having trouble with double and triple jabs. Just set up a relatively stiff (tight bands) double-end bag and don't worry about starting slow or using lighter gloves (and warm up). In fact, I was hit hard this year by COVID (hence I have not been making vids) and am finally back on track--so I'm doing my own drills to get myself back to feeling me. One thing--this isn't a "jab instruction" drill--it really is a drill to wake up your shoulders and get your body reacting. Try to keep your off-hand up and protecting your head (no use developing bad habits) though.

Thanks for the video. I have been practicing for nearly two years. I think I am not beginner. Can you prepare a 12 round advanced double ended bag program for people like me?

@gogboxing5655

6 ай бұрын

12 rounds on the doubled-ended bag is a lot, as you are getting into negative consequences with regard to speed/pop. I would vary it up--for example on Mondays four 4-minute rounds on the heavy bag (maybe a heavy and medium heavy split). Break on Tuesday. Wednesday four 4 minute rounds on the double-ended bag. Thursday two 4-minute rounds on the double-ended bag and 2 on the heavybag or maybe 2 on the uppercut bag (but a heavy one). Friday maybe just the uppercut bag or another split, but more technique and not trying to kill it. Obv, you need to work in at least two 3-minute shadow boxing rounds plus three 3-minute rounds of jump rope every workout. If you can get roadwork in, do that too (not everyone has the knees for it). Also on the double-ended bag, mix up glove weights. Use bag gloves for the first round, then go to 14 or 16-oz gloves (I do the same thing on heavy bags). I don't think a straight 12-round double-ended bag is going to be good for you. You will "even out speed" and maybe get conditioning, but I think you will lose quickness and power.

I use ankle weights and wrist weights sometimes it makes me faster but I'm careful while using them.

@gogboxing5655

Be very, very careful with wrist weights. I personally would not risk them (or using light weights shadow boxing). When you are younger, no issues, but all it takes is a missed punch and you can seriously hurt your elbows--imagine tennis elbow from hell or worse. No issue with ankle weights. Big fan of them (as long as you keep your feet moving and don't get lazy and teach yourself to "plod").

Don't feel silly, just take it slow and learn fundamentals. You have to get them right. Find a gym where you aren't pushed into hard sparring (and if you are older, you need to be careful with sparring in general--you can get detached retinas, for example, a lot easier than can the younger guys). Invest in good headgear, good gloves, etc., and find a trainer that cares about newbies as much as he does the more experienced guys. Good luck.

Great Info. I'm looking to purchase a high-quality Bladerless bag about 9" (or similar) with strong bungee cords. I have a small apartment, with very Limited Space. Any recommendations for the Best Gear to purchase? Stay Safe.

@gogboxing5655

Michael--you mean bladdlerless? Like without an air bag inside? I have a small one like that, which is quite cool--it jets around a lot (so careful it doesn't fool you and give you a black eye). But actually don't find the brand of doubled-ended bags to matter (that much) re standard bags. If you have not used one before, don't get one too big or too small, and just make sure that you don't get one with a rept that it does not hold air. If it is well made (usually leather with good, solid attachments that won't rip over time), I find that more important are the chords. A lot of brands will give you chords that are too light and quite long. I prefer to find the elastic chords that you can use to strap luggage to the luggage racks on the top of your car. Sometimes the chords you get are okay (actually the standard Everlast bag has good chords, but the bag is substandard), but still I would count on finding supplementary chords. Try to get short and medium-sized ones and maybe one longer one. You can tie a knot or two in them to shorten them, but the more knots, the less play. If you are normal ceilings in your flat, you will may have an issue with the chords being too long and loose--so get some short ones too. You can see in the vid, that I've doubled up on them. When you attach the hook on the ceiling make it just big enough to allow two or three hooks for chords. Same on the floor, but if you can't mount a hook or ring to the floor, you can use a heavy weight (but heavy) or kettlebell, but this is not ideal. THe kettlebelle will mean you need short, chords again and the weight will also be unwieldy. But hey, you do what you can. Good luck. Last thing--give yourself more play/longer/less tension under the double-ended bag than up top UNLESS it's a Mexican double-ended bag where I would do the reverse, but Mexican bags with two targets are trickier to use (a lot of people use them wrong). Thanks for writing in and watching.

DriDi, I really believe you can always beat someone with timing... (the legendary Kenny Weldon even said that speed "is nothing." I dont' believe that completely, but ok). but yeah, when you hit the guy who just naturally has that fast twitch it gets tough. It can freak out a new fighter or even a fighter with butterflies in a big fight. It seems that sometimes amateurs have the biggest problem with this. Obv, they have less experience, but amateur fighting can sometimes resemble a game of tag, so the fast twitch guy can both intimidate and score quick points. That said, I've seen guys that were slow and got faster and also guys who were slow and strong but had no idea they really were fast. This kind of thing (and footwork drills) woke them up and they got much faster very quickly. But if you just don't have fast twitch to developer. well, yeah, you are never going to be a hyper fast boxer. Then again, Chavez wasn't fast, and he became one of the greatest ever.

This guy looks and sounds like he’s 20-30, but dyed his head hair and facial hair white.
