The movie Dirty Dozen (came out in 1967), with so many famous actor's, is one of my favorite movies. Especially the speed bag scene with Joseph Wladislaw (Charles Bronson) hitting it was always the scene I looked forward to seeing; and when they count off the mission numbers plan details. In the speed bag scene it's a LL-RR movement FSP FCP FSP FCP and for the grand finale of the scene with the speed bag he pulls off a L-R FDP. Go speed bag techniques in movies!!! And hurray for Alan Kahn for writing the Speed Bag Bible so that I may learn to punch with incredible technique. Oh and just like in Speed Bag Bible Wladislaw has his elbows up while hitting to emphasis technique. And this was officially OFF TOPIC.

I never noticed it until having the speed bag bible and dvd for 3 months prior to seeing it when I was flipping through channels. Had to get the dvd out and make sure though. It's only a quick 10 second segment (counting 3 seconds for fade to with bag rebound sounds); well worth rewinding to again and again and again for about 5 minutes.

ALL of these great baggers and their skills need to be documented and recognized. WE moderns are now just re-discovering what they did long before, and trying to better document it.Speed Bag
