    One of my favorite pieces of boxing equipment - the wall mounted uppercut bag. After 6 or 7 rounds on the heavy bag, I use this bag as a bit of a warm down.

    Your just punching with your upper body, use your hips and get more power out of your legs. This will improve your movement and power

    Thanks, I'm actually pivoting or pumping my foot most of my punches - but you can't see my legs in the video, so it's a little hard to tell. Tell you what though, towards the end of a workout there's no doubt that something I should work on is fighting that fatigue that keeps you from driving into the target with your core/legs.

    You might be using your legs, but maybe you are not pivoting correctly. Your body seems to be very squared up, and your torso doesn't seem to be rotating at all (esp. on your hooks which seem to be strictly arm punches). Your uppercuts seem to be lacking any drive from the legs (body should dip slightly before they are thrown) and there is too much separation between your chin and your hands before your throw the uppercut. Instead of just dropping your hands low, bring your head down with it to minimize chin exposure. You seem to be in good shape though so just keep at it.

    Not bad, although I wouldn't suggest mounting it to the wall. The uppercut bag at my gym swings back and forth everytime you hit it which makes it really hard to hit. This helps my footwork alot and simulates what it will be like trying to throw an uppercut at an opponent in the ring. Your opponent isnt just going to stand there in the same spot the whole time and let you hit him. You're gonna have to circle him and catch him with that uppercut he's not just going to let you hit him with it. Other than that though punches look decent. The only other thing I would suggest is bending your legs a bit more.
