    at my old gym, I saw this thing in the corner that looked like a overgrown peanut(speed) bag but it was heavy
    I asked my coach what it was , and he said a slip bag.........previous to this I thought that the two-end bag was the slip bag
    I never in the year I went there saw anyone use it
    I have also never seen any TV of fighters using it to train and I never hear anyone here talk about it?
    what is the deal with the slip bag

    A sock on a rope, filled with sand. That's all it is.

    I just made mine and put it up and worked on it 3 rounds
    I got a sock that smells worse than ma'amkinds batroom, filled it with gravel and hung it up
    and it helped me stay in stance cuz I knew something wasnt right when I was slipping right
    my feet were too far apart and too close to being crossed
    got my stance back and wa la

    I used a canvas shoping bag or use somthing similar the materail should be strong so it lasts.Also use sand or fine gravel so you can punch the bag and practise upercuts and other shots, it is good to for punching when its not moving to improve your acuracy.you can spin the bag to the left or right to simulate hooks and duck as it comes around try thrown a few punches after you slip or duck

    Nobody used the slip bag and your coach never showed you how to use it. :roll:

    Sadly this is typical modern boxing training. Young boxers today don't have time to waste on proper training because they waste too much time pumping iron. They might have big, strong muscles but they couldn't slip a punch to save their lives.

    Im sure that there were some fighters that used it, but I never saw or noticed it being used
    but I put one up last nite and that lil son of a ***** is coming in handy, Ithink

    at my gym there was a lot of emphasis on sparring and heavy/speed/two end bag work

    thats why I was thinking maybe the two end bag had kinda replaced the slip bag as the main piece of equipment to develop head and foot movement

    You should wrap it in a condom (preferably used) and watch, you'll become the next mike tyson head-movement-wise. :tong
