Hi guys Heavy bag training would this increase your punching power? Or a benefit towards getting powerful punches? cheers
Hit it hard and fast, along with technical training, it's the 'secret' to power. I hit the largest bag in the gym, and I hit it hard. It gives me huge power in the ring.
The heavybag, or get yourself a human punching bag...just have some guy wear a body protector/shield and just hit away. Here's a vid for you (around the 3 minute mark): [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB1W6cvcjvs[/ame]
The heavy bag can do so much more than just give you firepower. It can help you develop arm endurance by doing a set amount of continuous, nonstop straight punches, improve footwork by circling the bag, work combinations, practice inside fighting skills, etc. The possibilities are endless.
