Boxing

sure its fun to brag about how fast you are, but how does it help in an actual fight ?

and don’t say something stupid like " it works on speed " give me a full detailed answer .

the speed bag is actually very tricky and hard to master. speedbags are used in so many ways..
COORDINATION- your body has to function as "one". you cant throw a jab by steping your forward first then throwing a jab.. telegraphing will get you knocked out.. you must be coordinated and throw your jab as your feet follows..
TIMING- speed bags are great for timing a punch or timing bob and weave.. timing in boxing is very important..
REFLEX- speed bags are great for training the eyes.. and great eyes gives you great reflexes..
POWER CONTROL- you hit a speed bag hard, it comes back at you hard.. you hit it soft it comes back soft.. mixing it up hard and soft is great exercise..
ARM WORKOUT- speed bags are great at concentrating the forearms arms and shouulders.. it builds lean strong muscle and it makes your fists tighter and stronger..

its krazy how a little bag as a speedbag can help out sooo much. every great fighter masters a speedbag and in return it gives them an edge on reflex,coordination,timing,powercontrol, strong arms and many other benefits.. it definately enhancess the skill of any fighter..this is just the basic and breif description on this bag.. but i think you get the idea.. good luck.

The one that hits one back if you’re not fast enough. And where can I find one?

Before swivels were used, Corbett, Fitzimmons, Jeffries, etc. all boxers of that era used a punch ball, hung from a platform by a small knotted piece of rope. Many times the rope would break and the bag would fly off in all directions. Later, Dempsey, Tunney and all the smaller weight boxers used a big bag called a military bag, as that was the popular style bag for all uses. A really good boxer or exhibitionist used not only his fist in the workout, but his elbows also.

do i need to move my feet while doing it? any advice/ videos online.

The primary purpose of the speed-bag is to develope hand-eye coordination and rythm..Being able to punch while not always on balance can be enhanced by working the speed-bag while moving in different directions.. Hitting the speed-bad while in sync with a timer, will also help your endurance and breathing…The size of the bag and the number of rounds you can routinely go, will help you determine how and when you might adjust your training, in and out the ring.. Very much like the results from using the jump-rope.
The more you practice, the better you will get. Speed, footwork and techniques while hitting the bag will noticeably improve!… Have fun!

To enter the “Danger Zone”, try hitting to this one….

I could hit it now, but i cannot get into a good flow.

Practice. Start out slow. Make sure there’s 3 rebounds in between each hit. When you hit it it should hit the front of the platform, the back, then the front again, then you hit it. Always start slow though don’t try to be like the pro’s you see. Eventually you’ll get the hang of it.
