    Here's My First Video

    Mind you, because I am at the beginning of my journey to recapture the phisique and coordination from days long past, I'm not exactly a pro!

    It is really hard to do a reverse fist roll because my S hook is too big for my bag.

    Any critiques would be greatly appreciated. (The vid is small. I'll post a larger one soon.)

    Thx!

    Good stuff, looks like you've got most of the techniques down. What brand of swivel is that? Is that the everlast pro bag ?

      Actually, for a beginner - you are doing quite a variety of techniques and combinations. I saw the 4 front punches, three reverse punches and the outward elbow strikes, along with some pretty decent split fist combo's and the Side Double Punch (SDP). It is a little difficult to critique your body position or swing motions since the video frame was "cropped" in on the bag and I couldn't see your body too much. But your arm positions (elbows to fist angle) looked pretty straight and your upper arm, what I can see of it, was also alright. Your single and double fist pass throughs were not bad at all for a beginner.

      I would suggest continue working these basics, and try and make them a little smoother. I happen to agree you are struggling with that swivel a bit. Sounds a little dead, but then again you are not really hitting hard, either. You might find your split fist a little easier if you change your front fist slightly from the Front Circle Punch (FCP) side contact to more of a Front straight punch position. Check out videoclip #4 on the "speed bag combinations" picture.

      Try working your fist rolls in pairs. Go from Front Fist Roll to Reverse fist Rolling. Do each one for five or six hits, then out to the other. Short fist rolls are easier to pull off and will let you succeed more than just trying to keep a longer roll going. see videoclips #8 and #9 at the above link.

      Good job. keep it going.

          Thanks..
          Yes, Tim, that's the Everlast Pro bag. I really like it. The swivel came with the platform, which is a Gold's Gym cheapie that I bought at Sears of all places.

          Yea, it's really hard to keep a solid strike going because the swivel S hook is so big. I'm gonna' take a picture of the swivel and post it.

          Al-in-all, I am glad to hear that I don't entirely stink at it thus far! I was kind of scared to post a video of me schlubbing up something that people are so well adept at. I truly love practicing though!

          I'll check out those clips you had recommended today.

          Thx!

          Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I am in the middle of a nightmare project that will never seem to end!

            There is no shame in being a beginner. We were ALL beginners once, struggling to keep up with the bag, wondering why it was so !!@@$$%^ hard. Then you feel it, and it starts to work. Your skills are above average, actually. You move slowly from combo to combo, but that's alright. Slow builds control and movement correction, then speed comes over time. Hopefully, we are all here to learn and help each other. No dissing allowed.

            Keep working and I look forward to more of your video's.

                It looks like maybe it was done with a digital still camera in movie mode vs. a dedicated camcorder. I tried using my Sony digital still cam in movie mode but the frame rate was too low... It made it look like the bag was moving in slow motion but the sound was fine...
