Some Sunday morning practice.

[RenoRattler]

So I learned a couple new tricks. I've been hitting on my XS Skunk bag for a while, but I've been noticing that all I try to do is go fast, so I've gone back to the 9x6 for a bit to work on technique and control a bit more. Enjoy.

Nice flow! Your figure 8 linking rocks! Then you're throwin' those DES in and FROLLS into figure 8! Boss!!! Yeah, it's wise to work out the new stuff on the bigger bags til you get 'em down. Man when you can rock that on the xs LOOK OUT!! BTW is that Gotenks or Goteta behind the sheet? I know it's not Broly.

It's Gojeta in the center, but it has Gotenks in the background.

Hey Reno, Looking really good my man! Nice solid contact and uniformity on all your techniques. Like the double bumps on the fist rolls. True about the xs everlast, the advantage of practicing on that (when you can keep it controlled going slowly) is the sweet spot is smaller, making you concentrate more on accuracy. I've been spending time working on elbows and trying to punch drum last couple of weeks.
Where've you been, haven't seen much of you lately? Are you gonna head out east for
Speed Bag 2010?

[Tim]

That's really solid man. You had all kinds of stuff going on , and double bumps in the F-ROLL, very nice.

[spinsmashpop]

All great stuff... very well paced and balanced!
Coming up quickly!
BAG ON!

EXCELLENT on all points. Position, movements, rhythm, combination mix, split fists, double splits, Downward and Outward Elbow Strikes with single and double fist linking. Like TIM said, F-Roll's with Double bumping in the middle with both right and left fists. Awesome stuff. Now start mixing in some Side movements and you'll be owing it from all around.

Don't over stress the side movements. The single most important addition for Side punching will simply be the Side Single Punch (SSP). That would be the new piece. You are alread doing eveything else. Consider, for the Side Double Punch (SDP), The lead fist is a Front Circle Punch (FCP), and second fist is a Side Single Punch (SSP). You are already doing a FCP followed by another punch on one rebound
(FDP = FCP + FCP or FSP. F-ROLL= FCP+FCP+FCP.....) So now just follow the FCP with a SSP, and you will have the SDP.

Like the Side Double Punch, for the Side Triple Elbow Strike (S-TES) the lead part is the Outward Double ES+FSP. You are already doing the lead Outward Double Elbow movement very nicely! now make the third punch a SSP instead of a FSP and you have the S-TES. It's a very subtle change in fist position and contact on the side panel instead of the front panel. Not a big deal to do, but it will open up tons of creative combination posibilities not otherwise Possible. You CAN do it!

heaps smooth Reno.

I love watching the Sunday morning bag sessions...

Nice work on the bag, Reno, as usual. Okay, I gotta learn that cool little double-bump with the fist rolls...

So, what's the story with the sheet? Or, should I say, behind the sheet. Were you finding the posters to be too much of a distraction?

Oh yeah, and I see you've been elevated to "Senior Member"...

So, what's the story with the sheet? Or, should I say, behind the sheet. Were you finding the posters to be too much of a distraction?

I know what is behind the sheet.

There is a portal to another dimension in space/time behind the sheet.

The sheet acts as a barrier to stop inhabitants from fluidic space sticking their arms in and using the speed bag for free workout.

They really should invest in their own equipment.

The reason I know this is because I have got a portal to another dimension in my garage and had this problem. They even reached in once and 'borrowed' my speed bag without my permission when I was out shopping. This would explain why when I returned from my shopping expedition the bag was slightly deflated.

If you borrow something always return it in the condition you received it in - just good manners really.

You got a photo of them caught in the act? That I'd like to see.

[SpeedBagScissorhands]

very nice punching reno!

[Clubber Lang]

I would take a photo if I could.

But our earth cameras are not able to capture images of the '4th' dirmension. We have only just got 3D cinema sorted !

If I develop the technology I will post up some pictures of them pesky inter-dimensional beings.

Thanks for asking !

[Biff]

Great progress, RR. You are looking super fine!

[ukspeedbag]

Hey Reno, that was just perfect! Excellent various combos and the double bump, I have to try that one out.
