  • For anyone knowledgeable: I want to buy a heavy bag, but I live in an aprtment currently. If I buy one that has a sand, such as the one in the video, will that likely keep noise and vibrations to a minimuml is it a good choice of heavy bag for apartment living? Or would one of those stand-up punching dummies work better? Thx for any serious ansers.

  • heavy bad? LOL

  • check out the system from profightersports on you tube. its a nice system free movment around the bag. small foot print wont take up your whole apartment. easy to lower the bag for low kicks and change with one hand.

  • punching technique could improve from a boxing stand point however the work rate is excellent....

  • I'll take the advice of balletman over tapoutman anyday. good form my friend, good form

  • own that bag... such speed. hats off to you sir!

  • Ah great. I was thinking about mma training, but now I know there are people as fast as you out there.... lol. Nice speed sir.

  • man hes pwning that bag

  • Heavy bags are good bbut get in there ring and sparr people with no friends to spar use bags. But some good speed,power, tech

  • I am not serious about fighting but I'm still gonna get one :)

  • i recomende get bob dummy istead ehehe imana get one... YEEEE

  • old man what damage you gonna do? why do you even train? you not gonna need to know how to sprawl into your coffin

  • yes dude

  • nice video now watch my videos let me kno wat you think???? laters

  • Scandaloso

  • how long is a round?

  • @PeterQ9406 depends on the rules.Some are 3 min. rounds,others 2,5 etc.It depends. Most Martial Arts are 3 minutes.

  • i dont know why but you punching the bag makes me laugh like hell.

  • Do you also do voice overs? LOL :)

  • @CrazyDood69

    Was thinking the same thing, lol!

  • I like the pussy that says he hits like a bitch....so tough with your key board seen many sissies like you , face to face yur balls are like peas! Back on track good vid keep training ignore pansy ass losers keep up the good work!

  • I like the pussy that says he hits like a bitch....so tough with your key board seen many sissies like you , face to face yur balls are like peas! Back on track good vid keep training ignore pansy ass losers keep up the good work!

  • damn thouse where some crazy fast combos! really nice!

  • Workin' the bag like a maniac! That's a pretty frantic pace; good cardio!

  • dude got some killer cardio to punch and kick like that for 3min straight... good job.

  • had the same problem . i was renting an apt and could not hang my bag ... until i noticed a 3ft x 3ft hole in ceiling for access to the attic . prob solved

  • Very excellent. Have to say I hate Anything Everlast as they are bringing their crap in from China' I am in a possible patent infringement lawsuit with them as they have copied my Rafter Hanger. Im trying to make all mma fighters aware ofv these facts so they will buy USA made products. Dave

  • who is this... da mr rogers of fighting hahaha

  • lame... i agree about working on form and technique... oh and some power would be helpful aswell. :)

  • WORK ON YOUR TECHNIQUE AND FORM.only way you will ever progress. theres people out there just as fast if not faster and stronger then you, so it then comes down to ability, and you are just too wild right now

  • awesome video , thank you!

  • If he'd punch with the right footwork with that speed, i'd say wow.. but..

  • cool story bro

  • sloppy

  • that is soooo not his voice hahaha

  • Good stuff! But that bag seems entirely too small for you, ur demolishing it! Im trying to get into mma myself, can you pls check out my heavy bag vids and give me any helpful insight? thanks!

  • wats the price for like a 100 150 heavy bag?

  • I thought this video was going to show someone having heavy thought on a bag. I'm very dissapointed

  • how much weight did you use to weigh down the stand?

  • Same shit, like Puntching 101

  • Ugyanaz a szar, mint a puntching 101

  • I have that same bag except its a 90 lb

  • this guy is fucking LOLOL

  • this is an intense man

  • looks intense can definately tell you do this daily / often..

    I have an 80lb heavy bag I just started training on a few weeks ago..you said the bottom of the bag is supposed to be pretty stiff? my shins are aching so far from beginning to kick. I bought some thai shin guards to aid in the beginning process to get used to it,will obviously discard after a while. Great video.

  • very intense

  • hate to miss and kick the stand haha. lots of quick hits here.

  • i got the same bag stand as him and it does hurt when u kick the stand lol i done it when i started training

  • I have a heavy bag in my basement; problem is, it makes a lot of noise upstairs when I hit it ... is there any easy/economical way to make it quieter?

  • yeah, fill it with cotton

  • hey man i just have a question, how do you work your lats? lat pull downs probably right? and a heavybag training routine would definitely build up some nice tight lats right? thanks

  • dude why ask this fool he fuckin sucks thats a kid heavy bag,and this stupid fuckhead with his shoulders all high and tense sucks

  • yea well where's your video at huh!

  • Nice video good stamina.

  • got the same gloves got the same bag jeje, thats a bag for men...

  • You should also mention to NOT take pictures while striking heavybags. Meaning, stopping after your last strike, as if your posing for a picture. Lots of people, since the bag doesn't punch back, after their last hit, they kinda hold their position for a second or even two. This is a bad habit and it WILL carry over in your actual fight if you keep doing it. Learn to move after your last hit, like Ramsey did in this video. Just thought you should mention that to your viewers.

  • usually people realize that themselves when they got knocked out the first time because of standing still :D

    I'm just kidding you definitly have a point here.

  • @Tommy9834 thats a very clever thing to mention, never thought about that, thanks! :D

  • i have a feeling i would be kicked out of my apartment if i did heavy bag work in it. Your neighbors must hate you.

  • Bei den Kneestrikes nicht so viel Power sonst wird du Probleme mit deinen knien bekommmen!

    sehr gute inspiration tue das jeden tag bis ich nciht mehr kann.. real good fighter!

  • i have the exact same stand

  • yeah i love that stand its damn good

  • could someone help me with strike combinations i don't have any since i went to a shitty karate school

    i have a bag similar you this one and im moving towards kickboxing

  • my respect for u man u hit good ^^ fast move good good kicks!! good man!! keep doing it just add some jabs!! i like U man i mean i like the good job!! keep it UP man i dont do drugs!! jajaj!! I>M fucking skinny cause of that shit so ama star !!

    good !!

    man!!

    peace!!!

    van!

  • you look real "Limby" try and throw ur chest into the punches and body into all ur hits and you'll see how much power u have.

  • And I'm not saying that just because. You're hitting the bag @ the highest point, thus the lightest and easiest to hit. Hit the bag @ the bottom (where the full mass/weight of the sand is) and MOVE that bag and then you'll be showing me some power.

  • There's no sand in Everlast bags, or any other well manufactured, or intelligently packed heavy bag. They are stuffed with tightly packed fabric pieces.

    Thank you for your opinion. I will take that into consideration.

  • Comment removed

  • Uhh, yes some everlast bags are filled with sand.......FAIL.

    Bottom line...you have no power. Consider getting some.

  • @balletman

    I thought this was excellent.. probably because I do almost the same routine, lol! Your transitions are very smooth. I saw absolutely nothing but excellent execution here. And the clown who said you weren't showing power, obviously wasn't at the other end of your punches! I will agree with another commenter here, though. There is NO way you don't do voice overs or something for a living! Thanks for the great post.

    Peace.

  • @balletman sorry man but i have an Everlast bag and it's got sand bags and fabric in it :)

  • @balletman Bro you can put a fucking apple if it fits... lol if you buy them stuffed it comes with fabric pieces if not you can put old rags foam anything of such nature...

  • @mrallpurpose in all fairness, you right.. I have a bag like this and it is waaaay easier to hit at the top. hit at the middle or, if u really want to build power and toughen up your knuckles, hit the very bottom. It hurts but no pain, no gain.

  • @mrallpurpose he's right. i had my 1st bag(the same one as yours) at about the same height and learned to hit it from the top which is wrong. theres a video of many pac hitting a bag on youtube which propbery displays where you would want to strike it hand wise. since you throw low kick you could have it a bit lower but my point is that your punches will get a better action with it higher

  • @mrallpurpose that shit hurts your knuckles brah.l

  • @mrallpurpose

    Great ideas thanks. Also can you raise and low your heavy bag on that stand?

  • You hit like a bitch.

  • .. he hits like a bitch?

    im willing to bet if he hit just like 3 times .. ur sorry ass would be grounded

  • EpidEditinglnc:

    I don't entertain e-thuggery.....go jerk off to some internet porn.

  • e thuggery?

    internet porn?

    do u have a wife?

    are u even straight?

  • nice video man

  • hey dude what would your record happen to be?

  • My professional record(s): MMA 3-2-0, Muay Thai 0-1-0, American Kickboxing 1-3-0, WTF Taekwondo 78-20-2, Trivial Pursuit undefeated.

  • cool, thanks, thats decent ,how long were you into teakwondo before switchin to mma ,oddly enough i wish i could test you on the trivial pursuit, as an outlet of useless knowledge i like to see whos got more free time or knowledge thatll never be used, aside from answering trivia and any pointers ?

  • I did TKD for 10 years.

    And who knows? Maybe there's an online trivial pursuit we can try sometime.

  • thatd be cool i got a couple things from your vid to apply to my own training stuff, any ideas from your end? and if you can find people farting in each others face for sexual pleasure there has to be an online trivial pursuit

  • lol hahahahahahahahah

  • lol im glad you got a kick out of that ive yet to hear back from him lmao

  • Are you some kind of crazy karate master?

    Please get some real gloves when hitting the heavy bag.

  • Different, type of fighting, but would jiu jitsu also be a very good form of cardio as well?

  • very goog form of cardio

    extremely!!!!

  • way nice video man keep it up :)

  • Could you please tell me what the weight of this bag is? And what is it filled with?

    I like your videos man.

  • All good advice. I would like to add the bag should also be about 1-2 feet higher, you want the middle of the bag at chin level ideally. This is because the top of the bag becomes very soft, and the bottom is very hard, and hitting a pillow does no one any good.

  • In that case, unless you are short don't buy the Century bag stand. It won't go any higher than 7'.

  • you come with good advice on bag training, but dont take offence when i say you kick like a retarted flamingo.

    try kicking on the balls of your feet, and postitioning your arms in a way that gives the roundhouse kick leverage.

    ex. for right round house kick, make sure your on the balls of your left foot, tork your hips 90 degrees and jack your right arm backward, keep your left arm up across from you to guard just incase.

    other then that nice vid!! keep it up.

  • Me too. I use an Everlast stand. Unless you are working out in a gym, you have to live with the heavy bag being slighty low. Lots of people buy the Century Bob to go along with their heavy bag because it stands so tall.

  • Good advice. Good video.

  • dude u dont have any fucking form in ur punches at all..stop giving pple dum ass information...and stop hitting the bag lika dick head lmao

  • 2 x...

    the guy barely knows how to punch and instead of improving his skills, he tries to learn other people how to train... dude, first learn yourself how to fight before you give instructions..

  • ' i do at least 2 x 3mins rounds each day every day" - WOW your amazing - what stamina - roflmfao

  • lmao this dude really has no life....who brings a shitty bag to their apartment as an adult....go join a gym and see how you'll do there when u get ur ass beat by 5 foot mexican ez..

  • "Teach" other people

  • wow balletman youre awesome , great fighting skills Cheers!

  • Hey balletman, i have a question, How did u fill ur heavybag?, only with sand? or what more things did u use for filling ur heavybag?

    I will thanks u for answering.

    Blessings

  • U sound smart :O And ur good

  • I have a heavy bag and filled it completely with sand. It's ok for my fists but after a couple rounds it bruised my shins. I'm only a beginner but is this the proper way to condition my shins or do I need to put softer materials in?

  • Keep working it......eventually you will have shins hard as steel.Tough shins & ankles (tissue & bone) give a huge advantage over an opponent in a match-i.e when they strike you w/ a sweep or kick,typically (w/good stance) it has no effect.

  • does the same go for your middle kuckles? im a beginner as well and and after 2 days at the bag my middle knuckles have cuts on them.

  • good video...... thanx for posting all these tips

  • very good :D your kicks are good too. keep it up

  • i love how many comments being made by keyboard warriors he has great technique and he is full of good advice.

  • Very Good...

  • Hi, i wanted to buy a similar stand to urs, do you think it could take a 60kg bag, also its 6foot.

  • Yes, this stand can support 60kg. It's just over 7 feet tall at the apex, but with the hook and chains, your bag will hang at about 6 feet.

  • he would smash most of you keyboard warriors I guarentee it.

  • You're the expert champ.

  • What do you suggest for those that are forced to use a free standing bag? Which bag would be best (under $300)

  • As far as freestanding bags go, I like the Wavemaster XXL, but I have broken a few of them where you screw the top part into the base. You can fix that problem if you drill a small hole in the big plastic screw at the base and fill it with something like silicon caulk  so it can't break (that would take about 20 tubes, not very cheap, but it will increase the life of the bag)

  • what kind of stand do u have and how mutch dose it cost

  • ur turning your head so much,u dont have to be a master in order to see whats happening.keeping the eyes on your target should be a goal as long as u want to prevent some simultaneous shot

  • WHat kind of gloves are you using? Its it possible to use only hand wraps to train on bag? Like Everlast Evergel wraps, which look like mma gloves, but are actually wraps.

  • do u even see when your hitting???

  • yes.

  • Of course he can see, he hits the bag every time.

  • not even hitting it

    come on throw some shots and connect

  • ???

  • i got the same bag

  • Thanks for the comment. I've moved since posting this video. Check out my new gym in my newer videos.

  • buy a gun

    jk xD pretty nice

  • i dig it

  • wow you hit that thing over hundreds of times in that 3 minutes. lol i wish i could that often. And you got a surprisngly professional voice

  • great technique and excellent instruction on heavy bag use! bien hecho senor! muchas gracias!

  • THIS GEEZA'Z DANGEROUSE!!! yah good advise

  • this geezas a patrick loool

    safe balletman very good video man!

  • hey balletman do u do it in sets of 3 minutes or do tham at 1 shot? thx

  • Damn this dude is bad ass

  • WOW. That was nice!

  • Very good video you know what ur doing you have good stamina and I think that you have a good program going for you

  • Damn your cardio is instense.

  • dude thanks for the info!

  • Billiant video. helped me a lot, thanks.

  • Wow your stamina is awesome! I have a Wavemaster in a little room so I can't hit it too hard:( Thanks for the advice and the great video! You're keeping all us trainees encouraged!

  • sometimes i take the bag to bed with me...and yes sometimes i even take it into the shitter so we can always be together...I dont know what I would do without my heavy bag...if my heavy bag ever leaves me I would problably kill myself...Excellent satire man this is one of the funniest videos i have ever seen...keep it up...

  • The heavy bag is good but I think your overexaggerating a bit. I love my heavy bag too but nothing beats some good padwork. Anyway I feel bad for this guys opponent.

  • ok, thanks man, i chest bought a heavy bag and some of my friends tall me that i should use sawdust to fill it but i had my doubts. keep it up!

  • The best heavy bags are stuffed with tightly packed shredded fabric or rags. Saw dust or sand will harden too much over time.

  • those were my doubts, hehe, thanks for the answers dude!

  • careful on those sprawls dude.

  • great vid man! what´s the heavy bag filled with?

  • It's just a standard Everlast bag filled with 100 lbs of tightly packed shredded fabric.

  • This guy has the heavy bag wired!

    Muay thai HOORAH!

  • you make sense

  • Nice set of videos you got going there KSAFitness!  I'll subscribe!

  • serious respect right here... fast pace the whole way through...lots of people dont understand how much cardio that takes...and you got nice speed all the way

  • Check out the KSAFitness tip above to get a more in depth idea of how to train on a heavy bag.

  • Thank you.

    I only have a standing bag though.

    Will it work with that?

  • i weigh just over 19 stone and these bags just move about too much, is there any way of determining what weight bag i should go for?

  • Personally, I think you should work with a bag close to your own weight. However, manufactured bags usually don't come over 120 lbs. I fight at 155 lbs, and a 100 lb bag works all right, but I still prefer heavier.

    I've been making my own custom bags for the last few months, so I can make them as big as i want.

  • If you really want to practice footwork by moving around the bag you could get a standing heavy bag (one with a hard cover) and fill it with sand.

  • good stuff. thanks man!

  • That's how I feel about my hb.. lol check out my video.

  • Why does no one hit the bag like me???.....Guess I'll have to put up a video...

  • No one hits the bag like you because you are unique in all the world.

    Let me know when that video goes up.

  • Great endurance man. Strikes didn't lose any speed throughout the video.

  • do u fight? any vids of u in action guy?

  • Yes. Check my youtube home page.

  • how many times a week do u run. becuz thought the whole video i notcied u didnt look tired at all

  • I try to get at least 3 days of auxiliary non-fight specific cardio training (30 minutes-1hr) per week. Not just running though- I also bike, swim, do aerobics classes (that's much tougher than it sounds) etc... I'd recommend at least 30 minutes of cardio training daily.

    Also, striking and running use different muscle sets and burn energy differently. If you want to increase your endurance for striking, doing rounds with a heavy bag or Thai pads is one of the best ways. Running is supplemental.

  • i wanna make a video just like this.

    punching,kicking,clinching and knees all combined.

  • Nicely produced, I must thank you, that was very helpful and interesting.

  • I recently bought a 6' 150lb thai bag from title boxing. It's really nice, real leather, the works. I hang it so I can circle 360 degrees.

    My question is, how can I practice kicking higher without pulling my groin? -.- i'm working on V sits and I stretch quite a bit a day but alas no progress. Any tips?

  • a bit of stretching everyday goes a long way

    perhaps you're stretching only a few select areas

    high kicks is not just flexibility, its also and angle you make with the standing foot, the pivot, as well as ur body motion. show ur high kick

  • When you do static stretching (like a stradle/V-sit/split where you just hold the stretch) make sure you are warmed up first- to the point that you are sweating. Warm muscles stretch, cold muscles tear.

    Also, try warming up with dynamic (moving) stretches- ax kick stretches, side kick stretches and back kick stretches. While you won't use those kicks much in MMA & kickboxing, the active range of motion those stretches offer is invaluable to increasing flexibility for kicking.

  • techically ur really good

    but what really amazied me was ur fitness and conditioning. Please tell me how u have achieved this level of conditioning.

  • Thanks.

    As far as conditioning goes, the most important thing is consistency. Like I say in the video, do at least 3 two minute rounds with the heavy bag every day. With 30 second rests between rounds, that's just 7.5 minutes out of your day. Fitness doesn't need to take a huge effort or a lot of time, but you need to do it consistently. I can't emphasize that enough.

  • consistancy. got it

  • Anyone ever tell you that you look like that boxer Kelly Pavlik? lol...
