BAG ON

Ten years ago, in the printed stuff that came with Everlast bags, they gave a secret clue to the future with a statement something like this: "skilled punchers can make interesting and musical sounds with the speed bag"*. Funny, all I got was triplet, triplet? That's music?

Professor Kahn was still in seclusion at his Texas think tank, printing his Bibles by hand on his original Gutenberg press for a few years by then, but the true path was not yet widely known outside of a very small brotherhood and sisterhood of the bag.

SSP, I think you are right about Youtube. And I think the bagging videos on Youtube have the potential to change the world. Searching for speed bag videos in German and Japanese and French and Spanish have revealed a deficit in the non-English speaking world. I have found no superb bagging -- as it is practiced at this site -- on youtube except in English. I believe this will change soon. Once the wild cat is out of the bag, the bag will start acting like a wild cat. Reverend Kahn and his Bible couldn't be happier, I believe. Oh yes, I believe...


* If anyone has the actual Everlast text that came with their bags, please reproduce it here, thanks.

Now that's funny.

Yesterday i showed my son how to do the O-TES, sorry for the poor video quality again. I think he's doing pretty good for someone who only bags once a week and only being 11 years old .

Hey Goju, your son looks great. Nice flow and movment, even fist force, very nice fist linking figure-8, and nicely executed O-TES's. You might suggest he return to the bag after the O-TES with the last fistof that technique. He's doing a Re ' Rf ' Lf, and then returns with Right Fist, but with that contact order a left fist (Lf) return with FCP is easier. He could re-circle the left fist and connect in the Basic Rhythm a bit more naturally. On the other hand, IF he returns with the right fist (FSP) under the left arm it could be a sneaky shadow punch - however that's not something I'd clutter a beginner with at his level.

I would also like to see the Left leading O-TES.

Good stuff. The future of our bag is well in hand with this younger generation! Lots of good ones, with yours, UK, SSP and a few others! It is really rewarding to see these "little ones" get into it.

real good

Goju, the young fella is going real good,he mixed it up,and the elbows were spot on,so for someone whos had limited time on the ball he could be the next Skunk

Thank you AK, your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.. we are working on the left O-TES, so this weekend we just might see another vid with him doing so. Fingers crossed, and hopefully a updated vid of myself. ( This time with a better camera lol )
