I’ve been doing Boxing/MMA for about a year now and I figure i should learn to work a speed bag?

The big secret in speed bag workouts is having a good solid platform and a super pro swivel. A good 10 x 7 or medium size speed bag is good to learn on. Later, once you have mastered the bigger bag, you can move down to the pro size peanut bag or 9" x 6". Go slow at first either using the 2-1rhythmm or 2-2. Hitting the bag with 2 lefts as it rebounds followed by 2 rights, letting it rebound. This is a good way to leather it’srhythmm and then build speed from it. Either is good and will become second nature to you. I’ve had aspeed bagg in my home for 50 years, since a teen to present. Very good cardio, plus fun too. Could never master jump ropingg, but this was easy. Good luck.

Anyone know anything about punching bags or boxing?

I’m 15, 5′11, and 127 pounds. I used to run, and do football, but when i tore my meniscus in my knee, it left me crippled and unable to play a sport with a lot of running. I was good at running and catching, but now I can’t really get a major way to exercise, and was considering getting a heavy bag? I’m not even sure, but my dad’s nurse is a boxer. So I was thinking, is boxing a good sport(does it build muscle)? If so what sized bag should I get to train? Any input would help.

Any of the bags I linked to will do great. Remember to invest in excellent equipment and to use good gloves and wraps.

Do lots of oblique sit ups, wood choppers, pushups, squat thrusts, and pull-ups will increase the necessary strength.

Pay attention to your body mechanics.

Shift your weight in the direction of the punch, twist your hips into it, roll your shoulders behind it, focus all the way through the target and snap it back twice as fast as you sent it out.

Remember to train your ability to handle stress as much as you train to hit. That way you will not freeze when you should be hitting.

Does anybody else think that Floyd Mayweather Jr is scared of the top welterweights?

June 292010

Floyd mayweather doesnt want to fight the best so how is he the best??? and hes far from being the greatest.

Top welterweights:

2. Miguel Angel Cotto

3. Antonio Margarito

4.Shane Mosley

5.Joshua Clottey

The Welters don’t need goofy azz Mayweather. There are plenty of top guys who are actually willing to fight each other. Mayweather is a joke.

My fiance wants to fight for custody of his 3 year old child. Where do we start?

The childs mother had tried to kill herself repeatedly and is taking lithium currently for her Bi-polar disorder. My fiance thinks she is dangerous to herself and others. They currently share custody, but he wants his son to come and live with us. We dont have the money to hire a lawyer, but we need advice on who to talk to. Is there a way to fight for custody without paying phenominal costs. We really want to take care of this right away. Help please!

Contact Child Protective Services and hopefully he will be able to provide dates and places the child’s mother has been taken for her disorder to prove she would not be the best parent to have the child with.

An even stronger case would be that you and your fiance tie the knot and legally get married then show you could provide a more stable home.

What is something cheap and heavy I can use to hold down a punching bag stand?

I have a heavy bag stand that moves all around when you are using it. It has places to put weight plates but they are just too expensive to use just to hold down the stand. What is the cheapest heaviest thing that I can easily buy to hold it down? my best guess is sand bags. Is there anything better?

My stand has holes drilled along the base that lets you bolt it to the floor. I’ll never do that, but it remains a possibility.

I was thinking about joining Bally’s, but I attend school and I don’t have a lot of time. I would hate to waste money on a membership when all I want to do is cardio and aerobics. If anyone know of any good kickboxing classes or even step aerobics classes, please let me know. Thanks :o )

my last pair of mediums are big, the waistband hardly streatches, they should fit my size though. i have some medium boxer briefs from there and they are kinda smaller then most medium boxer briefs. would small boxers be too small?

Ummm, you shouldn’t wear really tight boxers its not good for your penis you should give it some space..wear the size that fits you good and doesn’t give you any skin irritation. Like if you wear tights and you run with them cuz of sweat its gonna go red and gonna hurt.

Can you explain why the sending of Boxer to the slaughterer’s in Animal Farm was an important turning point?

The sending of Boxer to the slaughterer’s by Napoleon in the book Animal Farm was an important turning point in the book. Why?

Animal Farm – George Orwell

Boxer Character Analysis

…As time goes on, the other animals continue to look up to Boxer. They are much more inspired by his work ethic than by Squealer’s clever speeches, and because Boxer remains loyal to the pigs, everyone else follows suit. When Napoleon begins executing other animals, Boxer can only say, “I would not have believed that such things could happen on our farm. It must be due to some fault in ourselves. The solution, as I see it, is to work harder” (7.28). One realizes that the reason Boxer adopts personal mottos is because he needs simple slogans to live by. When things become too complex, all he can do is fall back on them.

After the windmill is destroyed in the Battle of the Windmill, Boxer makes it his one remaining goal to have a new windmill under way before he retires. Yet in the process, he over-strains himself and it is then that Old Major’s prophecy comes back to haunt him. The pigs have come to replace Mr. Jones, and their solution for a tired old horse is the same. Yet the pigs need to at least appear to be faithful to the animals, and so they lie and say that Boxer is being taken to the hospital. By the time Benjamin and Clover cry to Boxer that the van belongs to a horse slaughterer, it is too late. The narrator tells us:

The time had been when a few kicks from Boxer’s hoofs would have smashed the van to matchwood. But alas! His strength had left him; and in a few moments the sound of drumming hoofs grew fainter and died away. (9.23) More…
