Kickboxing: warm-up on free-standing bag #2

Still trying to get used to the 'wavemaster' bag - here practicing a variety of kicking techniques and punching combos. Remember, training is a process of experimentation and refinement rather than of perfection. Don't be afraid to get it wrong 1000 times before you get it right. Once it clicks, work towards consistancy of form and relaxed execution of technique.

how tall are you? i'm just trying to get an idea of how big the bag is...

also, how much did it cost?

[Yiddobhoy]

@yardkyle I am about 5' 9" - the bag stands at around 6'. It cost me £200, but that was 2 years ago.

it was filled with water at the time - but eventually sprung a leak!

i now have it filled with sand which is actually much better, heavier, more stable.

@Yiddobhoy do you recommend? I am looking for a bag that I can use to train kicks at home.

[Yiddobhoy]

@InvalidAuthorization yeah it pretty good, esp for kicka and hand/foot combos. resistance is obviously less the higher up you hit it as all the weight it in the base. but overall is pretty good, esp if you've got nowhere to hang a long bag.

@DSMANDARIN neither do youtube trolls.

@Yiddobhoy OK cool. My apt has cathedral ceilings so it doesn't work to hang anything
