What do you honestly think of this?

Hang your bag lower.

Spend more time with your trainer

How old are you?

 

HAng your bag a bit lower. You throw alot of hooks left then right just clubbing away at the bag but sometimes when you throw the hand that isnt throwing is dropping away from your chin and your open. Try standing more side on to the bag instead of square and thinking about defense. Pretend the bag hits back and throw more jabs rather than just swinging away at it.

And like the above said listen to your trainers and keep practicing

 

Disagree you should be working on jabbing your way inside then throwing hooks then jabbing on the way out. Winging away with hooks like your doing in that vid is not inside fighting sorry mate. Work on that jab. You dont need to fully extend everytime the jab is flexible. Use it short and sharp keep em guessing why limit yourself

 

One thing is too keep your chin down when punching.

Personally I only use bag work to get fitter, so I either throw lots of punches, or work on the technique of a certain punch and basically through it over and over again.

 

Woaa you look real young.

Gotta tighten up them hooks abit, there a little wide. Need to keep training hard so you are faster, sharper and more power.

 

doesnt matter maybe im not being clear enough but i dont know how else to explain it apart from you are saying your working on the inside on the bag but your just standing infront of it winging away with hooks thats not working on the inside and your too open

 

I'll give you some advice - listen to the above advice regarding jabs! If you don't jab, you will never get anywhere in boxing... you don't start a round in the middle of the ring, fighting on the inside... you have to get there, and you do that by working your way inside, usually off a jab. If you need to back up to make room for a jab, you are in the wrong position in the first place - start on the outside with jabs and straight rights, and work your way to the inside from there. What's the first punch you learn in boxing... it's the jab... have a think about why this is.

Trust me, if you insist on staying on the inside, you will never get anywhere. one other thing... LISTEN to advice, and follow it.

 

see i just needed someone to explain it better than i could lol. You should be getting in there (by jabbing the way in) getting off your shots on the inside which doesnt mean standing in front of the bag and winging away pretend that bag hits back! And then you should be getting out of there ideally by jabbing your way out and using angles and pivoting off. And thats over simplifying it as it is lol


I love my heavy bag its great but it does lure you into a false sense of security and head movement and thinking about punches coming back goes out of the window. Always pretend its a live active opponent that wants to knock your head off :good

 

just thought id add its just practice mate you asked for constructive criticism and you got it, its up to you if you take it on board or not! Keep working hard you obviously love it!:good

 

then your doing it all wrong always train like your going to fight that bag is an opponent that will hit you back on the button and leaving your chin in the air and winging away isnt going to help. You will end up keeping those bad habbits in the ring and get clocked
