Is it possible to injure the right knee because When I am learning the speed bag, I am only pivoting only on the right leg? What can i do to correct my pivoting problem?

[speedbag1]

@8235919 I guess it's possible but I have never heard of it as you describe. I can't really say how to "correct" it without seeing your stance, swing and movement while punching, with a wide enough shot to see your feet and the pivot move you describe. Perhaps you can post a video for review? good luck.

[Psypherion]

Would be funny if you had edited and reversed the order of the video!

[speedbag1]

@Psypherion. Ah yes, If I could reverse the order of this to end at the beginning I would be in a lot better shape, weight at least 40lbs less and enjoy life without pain. Getting old sucks and is highly overrated. My advice is exercise in moderation and stop before you ground your joints to dust. And don't fall for the TV networks hooha that 60 is the new 40. Trust me, 60 is 60, especially if you kept acted like you were 20 when you were 40. Regardless, Keep Punching!

[speedbag1]

No I haven't. First of all, there is no easy place to attach a face to the swivel and heads don't rebound well of the board. Second, up to this point I have only had to punch bags, not people.

Of course! The speed bag is a unique "Punch Drum", played with the fists of a drummer. The beat can used used to any song, just like any other drum.

@harryforeman

Because I had a video camera and I can.

@Kreggett All it takes is knowledge of how it works and practice. I'm not doing anything that you can't do. Thousands have learned and you can too. Don't give up! The journey of learning is just as much fun as the destination.

Wow, you've really been at this awhile. Cool to look back over your progress from spark to mastery!

[TheMercboxer]

Keep the videos coming. Thanks again for them!

[TheMercboxer]

I have a great appreciation to be able to watch someone who has truly mastered something. Its amazing! I live in oxford which is close to senatobia where you taught.

2:09 two workouts at once

[BandOfBros08]

That's awesome I hope to continue 30+ years later also.. But I think the bag was suppose to be a little higher? Like 2 inches higher.. Not too sure though.. Nice vid!

[TheKlaj1992]

its like music

[tmanx1]

@8235919 I've heard that if you wear shoes that are hard to pivot in it can eventually be hard on your knees. IOW, the better the traction of your shoes the more torque on your knee when you pivot.

if the bag wasnt there it would look like hes in the middle of a circle jerk

but nice work
