The correct way of punching sandbags (boxing)

1, Wrist Brace: When making a fist, make sure that the fist and arm have a rotation angle. This language is difficult to describe. Simply put, it is to ensure that the fist rotates in the process of punching, so that the back of the hand is upward when hitting the sandbag. The purpose of this is to protect the wrist, otherwise it is easy to sprain the sandbag with great strength.

Of course, I think many masters of the club didn't play sandbags strictly at that time, which is probably a basic requirement for protecting novices. Besides, don't forget to wear gloves, which is much safer than not wearing them.

2. Force: Force is mainly in the future. In the later stage, you should relax your arm properly to avoid the decrease of boxing speed. If you keep pushing hard, your movements will be stiff. It doesn't take long to finish punching sandbags. According to our coach, it is "don't push" because many newcomers like to "push" sandbags.

3) Whole body coordination: Pay attention to the whole body every time you punch, because although the punch is an arm, the strength comes from the whole body, especially the rotation of the legs and waist.

4) Defense: Don't close your eyes, keep your jaw down and your hands up.

5) Breathing: Breathe out when hitting, that is, in many training videos, you see a "hissing" sound similar to spitting in your mouth. This is a mistake that many novices and I will make at that time, that is, we often don't breathe at the moment of punching, which is very bad. Not only is it difficult to maintain physical strength, but it may also hurt our lungs.

6) Footsteps: Be sure to move your feet. In addition, if the speed, strength and body balance cannot be met at the same time in training, it is necessary to give priority to ensuring body balance.

Step training method:

Boxing, like traditional martial arts in China, attaches great importance to the training and application of footwork, because the starting point of most fighting and sports is footwork. For example, the famous butterfly step of boxing champion Ali is not only beautiful, but also very practical. The steps in boxing are mainly the sliding steps to keep the center of gravity: back and forth sliding steps and left and right sliding steps.

Each step corresponds to different boxing methods, for example, front and back straight punches correspond to front and back sliding steps, and left and right punches correspond to left and right sliding steps. This is just very basic training. When your steps are skilled enough, the power generated by any step can rise to the waist, and then all kinds of extremely lethal fists can be transformed around the waist. Therefore, if you want to learn boxing, you must practice your dance steps first.

Essentials: For example, to slide forward, first raise the center of gravity and lift the left foot at the same time, then move the center of gravity forward in parallel, then put down the left foot and drag it forward with the right foot. Remember not to lift your left foot too high, don't tilt your left toe, don't drag your right foot forward too hard, just move forward gently.
