Sound complicated but the easiest way is to consider you might make 8 punches directly on 8 beats of the music (taps of your foot), but at half time you would punch 4 times in those eight beats. Trick is those 4 punches may fall in a triplet pattern or can be manipulated to happen in a double bounce pattern by passing the fist(s) through the bag. However it happens, your ears will tell you when it's "on beat" with the song. With practice you will learn to manipulate that on purpose.
But ya gotta start somewhere! Good punching and some really nice combo's in your set.
