First off, hello to everyone. This is my first post..
Briefly, I was once an amateur boxer in Philly.. Now I'm a washed up 35 year old living out in the sticks.
I have recently returned to the training techniques of old, easing back into it for the sake of getting back in shape; and, of course, I have walked back up to my speed bag.
I recaptured the basic rhythms I had once used, but soon, I got bored. Fortunately, I found out that Mr. Kahn's book that I once used was available on DVD. I ordered it right away.
Most of the techniques were new to me (beside standard stuff like front fist rolling, front double punch, etc.) However, I must say that I learned so much more and I would highly recommend buying the DVD.
The only thing that I am having trouble with is the Side Double Punch. My fist either completely misses on the rebound or hits the side of the bag too high, which causes the bag to sway out of control.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can improve my form? I try to do it slower and (as Mr. Kahn said) continue striking with the side fist to "see where it goes." I just can't seem to get it to strike smoothly with either fist.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
(Briefly! lol..)
Thanks
