Different Punching Bags for Different Skills and Levels

How does a boxer train, you might ask.

Their silky footwork, powerful jabs and uppercuts to the lower jaw that has KO’ed many boxers are things that you will definitely want if you’re into boxing.

 

Well, first you have to make sure you are well equipped when it comes to training. A pair of boxing gloves, boxing shorts and most importantly a punching bag

A punching bag will work your upper arm and biceps for those killer jabs or a knock out punch. It has to be hanged from the ceiling, suspended to a nice height for boxers to unleash those hand power like Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson. Boxing fans will definitely remember these 2 legends

 

These punching bags comes in either suspended and standing bags.  There’s many good brands out there, namely Adidas & Everlast and before buying them, do consider your skill level and body weight. Different levels do required different set up of punching bags.

 

Once you decide on your punching bag, you should first concentrate in developing you arm power and speed in jabbing the punching bag.

Once you get hold of the the technique, you will definitely need to upgrade your punching bag to something heavier and denser.

There are a lot of different weight and sizes for different level of skills.

 

For me personally, I prefer a 100lb free standing punching bag as I am a experienced boxer. Since the punching bag is heavier than most, I normally use it to work my legs for more balance and power. These bags doesn’t sway much when I slam my legs or fist into them, making it the perfect punching bag for me. Oh did I mention Adidas are my favourite?
