Things are falling into place.... looks like Balazs Boxing will be shipping a UBS-1 for use at the screening!!!
I can't say enough about how great the people are at Balazs Boxing....incredible support of the speed bag community and always willing to go the extra yard.
"Art of the Bag"' follows the evolution of the speed bag through its history and shows that it's much more then just a boxing exercise. Focusing on Alan...
Focusing on Alan Kahn, author of 'The Speed Bag Bible' and known as the 'Speed Bag King', you will hear his inspirational story and see some of the most talented speedbaggers and punchdrummers in the world explain why the speed bag is so addictive. Men and women alike, of all ages and abilities have found what is called 'Bible-Style' punching to settle the mind, build the body and be an all-around fun activity... an addiction that is good for you.
Beginning with the invention of the rubber punching ball (or what is now known as the speed bag or speed ball) in the late 1800's in Troy, NY, the film documents the history of its development over the years. From the days of 'Fancy Punching' Vaudeville acts to today's bible-style punchers it is still one of the best methods for developing hand speed, timing and eye-hand coordination.
Alan Kahn explains how he was first introduced to the speed bag and what led to his life's mission of creating a language or notation that anyone could read, understand and use to learn the various techniques and combinations that are known as 'Bible-Style' punching. Vintage footage along with in-depth interviews of the most advanced speedbaggers and punchdrummers of today, add insight into the Art of the Bag.

Congratulations JOE. Film festivals are as much about the films "telling of the story" as it is the story to be told. The production quality, pacing, editing, presentation and technical excellence. My grandmother used to say "the secret to a great story is in the telling" and you told it excellently. The film documents the amazing history of the speed bag, and the festival award documents your excellence in telling it.
This one's on YOU, Joe Saba, better known as ZaZa.
Yes, a toast to the host, Congratulations to you Zaza! You really did a fine job.
The Premier got a standing ovation! Everyone loves it. It is overwhelming to me to be part of something so positive and great like The Art of the Bag. Thank You so much!!
