Over the months (since discovering speed bagging), I have noticed a punch that has intrigued me. (Silly statement... all of the punches have – and still do! )
I call it a drum roll, because it's what I imagine a drum roll to look like on a speed bag. Alan, I'm sure you'll be able to tell me the actual name of this punch.
The first time I really noticed it was when I was watching Brian's Christmas video: Jingle Bag Rock.
If you watch him at about :58 seconds in, he does it. I think it's pretty cool looking, myself.
And, then, when TJ_MaTee posted his (incredible) debut "2-Months In" video, and demonstrated it, I just had to go out under the board and learn it. (Watch for it in a couple places on his video. Once around 1:52 and again at 2:13. )
I know others on the forum have probably done this punch, but I'm just sayin' that I noticed it first when watching them...
So, it's a little tricky, in that you have to maintain good control while hitting the bag with your fists punching side by side, if you know what I mean. I still need to post a video where I try to make it look like I'm actually using drum sticks – of course, Brian does it effortlessly. And, TJ, are you a drummer also?
I'm using my Everlast Te:M Elite bag. It's really growing on me, although it doesn't have a real strong rebound, I like it when practicing my elbow punches...
Anyway, please let me know how I can improve my "drum roll." (Without having to take drum lessons! )
