The difference between boxing and punching sandbags.

First of all, it should be clear that although it is also boxing, the training purpose of air raid and punching sandbags is different. The practice of air strike is mainly to correct and master the technical movements and improve the coordination of movements, which is probably equivalent to the routine of traditional martial arts, while punching sandbags is the training of strike strength, improving the endurance and penetration of fists and enhancing the power of heavy punches.

When you hit sandbags, you have practical goals and reference objects. With a real sense of distance, your strength will not be empty. You can go all out and feel the real recoil and blow. Of course, you will feel good about yourself. However, the training of air strikes is rather boring, and there is no target to refer to. If you are strong, you will feel very uncomfortable. Nevertheless, we should also pay attention to the training of air strikes. Air strikes should not be waved aimlessly. In that case, there is no training effect at all. It is better to simulate an imaginary enemy with both offensive and defensive skills in your mind for offensive and defensive drills, which is more purposeful. Technical movements should not be too single, not just straight punches, hooks, up and down, left and right, but as many combinations as possible, and then with certain defensive, evasive and gait movements, the whole body should be mobilized as much as possible to form its own offensive and defensive rhythm.

Boxing pays great attention to the twisting of the waist. Therefore, whether attacking or defending, they rarely face their opponents head-on, and basically keep a certain angle sideways to reserve space for their efforts. You must have made your fist into a continuous straight fist like the Japanese boxing of Wing Chun Boxing, because your posture is too straight, and you just move your arms without moving your waist. To some extent, it also shows that your technical movements are not standardized. You know, self-study is easy to take detours. If conditions permit, it is best to ask professionals for guidance, which can get twice the result with half the effort.
