... I wanted to get a monthly video to post some progress, but haven't been able to capture things in a timely manner... so I'm posting the first video of me at 3 weeks. It's not great and I've gotten better since then, but wanted to put something up. So here's another new guys early attempt at a video...

Pretty good for just 3 weeks, better than I was for sure. One tip that Skunk told me, that really helps: Try to stay as compact as you can; keep your fists as close to the bag as you can without accidentally hitting it. Always have your arms lining up for the next combo.
It takes a little time to get the feel, but doing this will open up a whole new bag of tricks that seem overwhelming at first. I'm no master of the bag, but the better guys would probably generally agree with this tactic. It has helped me tremendously. Once you get out of the habit of dropping the fist that is not punching, you start to naturally flow from one combo to the next.
I also think it is good to learn to alternate triple elbow strikes pretty effortlessly. This gives you a chance to catch your breath and decide on your next series of punches. It also looks and sounds cool while you are actually "resting." With some experimentation, you'll see that you can go into and out of almost any combination straight from a triple elbow strike.

Vey nice! I agree with Aaron, try keeping yourself compact (but relaxed). I've been trying this and it has helped, but old habits....For three weks in on this clip you're doing some good moves! Can't wait to see what you've got going now!sigpic

Looks good to me too! Hands up & keep practicing (at least that's what I do!). Oh...and nice garage & custom platform. I think that's the NOS Ringside 8X5? That's my favorite too.
