i have a bag and im gettin into the boxing thing now and i want to know how to punch the bag perfectly!!!also if u have any good music i can box to??

Answer 1

Ok,
First you have a speed bag or a heavy bag,the speed bag moves very fast and if your not hitting it right your not hitting it, the heavy bag hangs from the ceiling and can weigh about 40 to 100 pounds, and you want to take a stance with your feet apart just a little and off set, and when you throw your punch get your hips into it for alot more power driving your punch into the bag, but if the bag starts to spin around don't hit it you could break your wrist, stop it then hit it, and learn balance without balance your going to be fighting yourself, watch boxers on TV when there training for there position of there feet.

Answer 2

Simply put, if you're hitting a heavy bag incorrectly, you'll break your hand or possibly your wrist. As for the music, when I was in the gym, I listened to 2 types of music: one choice was a music I liked, which was loud and fast and another was something I absolutely hated, like rap. This will help with maintaining your concentration and enabling you to focus your attention even as you are surrounded by something that is very distracting.

Answer 3

The only way to learn to box a bag or do other things is to have a coach watch you and make corrections.

We can not see ourselves and often what you think you are doing is not what you are doing.

I coach track and field and I video the athletes so they can see what they are doing which is often different than what they think they are doing when it comes to technique.

You need to get some feedback, either video or human coaching.

Answer 4

well if the boxing bag punches you back i suppose there's something wrong in your style.. :)
