Could I have some critique of a round of heavybag work?

I would like to hear what you think after watching that video of yourself? Lets pretend that was a video of someone else what would you say to them? I'll give my feedback after.

 

Didnt see to many body shots there - just the same old jab jab - time and again.

I see heavybags like that - as more for body punching work.

Jabbing and moving -to head - is more suited for the floor to ceiling ball.

 

why is your right hand in front of your face?? grab your ear like your talking on a cell phone and leave it there

 

Just a quick observation. I notice you hold your jab hand (right in your instance) real low and when throwing the jab, you don't extend your arm much.

Also when you throw your right jab, what is the reason your left hand is following it several inches away from your guard. It looks as though you are trying to throw both arms out at once. You don't do this much when throwing the right hook.

Like someone mentioned, get up on your toes a bit more and pivot more into your shots

 

That would be his left, he's a southpaw. Almost looks like the Mayweather stance but I doubt he has the reflexes and speed for it to be a good fit for him.

 

What were you trying to accomplish with your movement? You kept putting yourself in bad spots, where you couldn't hit the bag, but, if it had arms, it could hit you. Also, when you jab, you hunch forward and push your arm out half way. You need to shoot that right arm all the way out.
When you are working on movement, this is where it begins: You need to coordinate your hands and feet. That means, when your front foot moves, you fire that jab. When your back foot moves, you shoot the left hand. Also, you need to treat that bag like it is the body of the guy you are fighting, and move around it accordingly. Keep it in range, and yourself where you can hit it, or step away. You were constantly putting yourself, while in range, in spots where you could not punch.

 

As said before you just need to keep your back hand on your chin when you throwing the jab you can still catch a punch and looks like your trying to throw both hands at the same time only time your hand was on your chin is when you threw a hook which is some bad ju ju.

 

What's with moving your back hand forward as you throw the jab?

Well, at least you're not dropping it down like some other people.

Not sure if someone has brought it up, but you lean on your front foot a lot. That leaves your left cross with no power.

 

Try to work on snapping punches too. Notice how much the bag was moving? It's was swinging all over the place and you weren't hitting it that hard... you were just pushing it. With snapping punches, the bag will move very little (even if you are hitting it hard).

More body shots.

Focus on combos of 2-3 punches and then step. Vary the shots. Two quick jabs, hard hook to the body and then roll out.

And I didn't understand when the bag would swing past your side. As noted if that was a true opponent, that's a dangerous habit.

Keep working and post another video down the road.

 

Sorry but that drill was pointless. If you want to work on movement you dont need a heavy bag
