Bruce's first video

The only time I see a vid problem is when you are hitting the bag. Obviously, you've matched it's harmonic frequency and it's starting to phase shift inter-dimensionally
Seriously, looks pretty solid. Nice.
BTW, is it me or is that bag hitting past the edge of the board? That carabiner really puts some length on the arc. I have the same one ("new design") but I've also got one of the previous design.

Nice!
Hey Bruce! Nice job of punching, considering the amount of vibration you're dealing with. ...I wonder if there's a way to "beef up" that platform by sandwiching another circle of wood (particle board?) to it to make it sturdier... along with stronger metal struts angling down from the wall to the platform, or whatever they're called (sorry for my lack of knowledge when it comes to stuff like this...). I'm thinkin' that you'd get a much better rebound of the bag if there was less vibration.
But, in any case, in my humble opinion, you're looking really good. You've got the proper positioning of your elbows, which is always the hardest thing to remember in the beginning, but crucial to proper execution of the different punches.
Nice job of reverse rolls and those side punches. Dang, I still can't figure out how to do those, for some reason.

OK Bruce! Solid punching and good combo control. Right now I see your timing if great and you keep consistent flow and speed. I could be picky on form and movement, but all things are fixed by practice.
Keep working and thanks for the video.Speed Bag

Very good first video, Bruce, from a punching perspective. The lines on the bag while punching are wild, though. I don't know if that was your camera or a glitch when uploading to YT
MsDeville, brings up a good point - adding another layer (or two) of drum material may help the vibration issue. Also, you may want to nail in some wooden cross pieces that extend between the wall 2 x 4s. It looks like there is at least 24" between the studs.
Take the plywood down, nail the wooden cross pieces (at least two) into the 2 x 4s, then reattach the plywood, screw the mounting brackets through the plywood into the cross pieces, and then attach the platform.
I'm no construction expert, but I would think that should eliminate much of the vibration. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Thanks everyone for the comments- I appreciate your feedback and value your advice.

Wow, that's a first video to be really proud of!
I noticed a whole variety of techniques in there, you seem to have grasped them all really well, I don't think there was a single mishit! For a short time, it's really great progress
You might want to try out a smaller bag as well, bringing the belly of the bag up a bit for you might make a difference? I have a feeling that I started out on a setup which was too low for me and trying a smaller bag was a bit of a revelation. It helped improve some of the techniques especially the elbows stuff cos my arms stopped tending to drag downwards.
Look forward to your next video!

I'm late to the game.... great stuff Bruce. You have a very solid grasp of all the basics. IMO you're ready for the next size smaller bag. It will alleviate some of the rebound arc of the carabiner style swivel , and be less vibration. Great work. I'll subscribe to your youtube feed.
