md challenge in slow motion

[novaspeedbagger]

One of the forum members asked for a breakdown of this combo, so, I thought I'd post it in Slow mo! Explanations of the punches are welcomed!

The start of the combo is immediately after the fist roll and the first one on this clip is in the middle of the combo. I just wanted to add that to help clarify the start of the combination. It'll be fun to see how baggers interpret this one.

Keep on baggin and thanks for the request!

That would have been me! Thanks for doing this Nova, hugh help...it's hard for a noob like me to see what's going on.

This was my lame attempt...now I have go back to the drawing board...no... I take that back....the hitting board & try again.

I'm sure you'll have it mastered in no time. Enjoy the Journey!

Keep on Baggin!

Thanks for the vid, Kerry. It's always nice to see the sequence in slo-mo (especially when you're an old fart like me ).

No worries Biff! I'm glad it helps! Too bad I just figured out how to do slow-mo after a year of posting!

OK, I'll bite:

There are several ways you can analyze, describe or learn this combination of 11 separate techniques.

The quick interpretation:

7 Punch Front Fist Roll begin technique.
Last fist of (F-Roll) should pass through to a Reverse Single Punch (RSP)

(F-Roll x7) ‘ ‘ (RSP) ‘’… R-L-R-L-R-L-R ‘ ‘ R ‘ ‘ …(actually Nova appears to be left handed and starts and ends with the left fist)

At this point you will have three Single Punches after two double punches, rotating the side of the bag

(RSP) ‘ ‘ (FDP) ‘ ‘ (RDP) ‘ ‘ (FCP) ‘ ‘ (RDP) ‘ ‘ (FDP) ‘ ‘ (RSP) ‘ ‘ (FDP) ‘ ‘ (RDP) ‘ ‘* notice the Single Punches Rotate between the front and back of bag.


= R ‘ ‘ R-L ‘ ‘ L-R ‘ ‘ R ‘ ‘ R-L ‘ ‘ L-R ‘ ‘ R ‘ ‘ R-L ‘ ‘ L-R ‘ ‘ (F-Roll)

It also appears that Nova is adding a “pick up beat” on the Front Roll, using an 8 punch Roll, which rotates the last fist, so it may be a left fist or a right, but I notice the Single Punches are all done by the same fist. You can also look at it this way:

Three FDP ‘ ‘ RDP ‘ ‘ Single Punch Combinations between F-Rolls.

(RSP) ‘ ‘ (FDP) ‘ ‘ (RDP) ‘ ‘ (FCP) ‘ ‘ (RDP) ‘ ‘ (FDP) ‘ ‘ (RSP) ‘ ‘ (FDP) ‘ ‘ (RDP) ‘ ‘
*notice the Single Punches Rotate between the front and back of bag.

Now, just for fun, you can also do this with only Side Double Punches (SDP), using No FDP or RDP. After the RSP, just use SDP and some Side Single Punches (SSP).


(F-Roll x7) ‘ ‘ (RSP)…….

(RSP) ‘ ‘ (SDP) ‘ ‘ (SDP) ‘ ‘ (SSP) ‘ ‘ (SDP) ‘ ‘ (SDP) ‘ ‘ (SSP) ‘ ‘ (SDP) ‘ ‘ (SDP) ‘ ‘ F-Roll,

You can also mix in RDP, FDP and SDP. Key is: After a RDP, you can go to either the FDP or SDP. Remember: FDP ‘ ‘ RDP ‘ ‘ SDP ‘ ‘ SDP…..

Now I gotta interpret this...Ugh!

I'll have to study this for awhile Alan and experiment with it. Looks like fun though and will definitely give me more variation, so, thanks for the insight.

Thanks for the slo-mo, Nova. It is very helpful. I hope you'll post more slo-mo's in the future.

For you, the most important part is realizing that after a RDP you can always do a FDP or SDP. Then work on the lead fist of the SDP, which is really a FCP, passing to a Side Single Punch (SSP). so....

This Combo: RDP ' ' SDP ' ' SSP. ' ' ' ... repeat.

R-L (RDP) ' ' L-R (SDP) ' ' L (SSP) ' ' ' ...repeat.

* Notice the Second fist L of the RDP passes to front to lead the SDP. The lead fist of the RDP hits and veers forward and off to the side in position to come in as the second fist of the SDP. If you get this move than you will be able to move the "MD combo" all around that bag with FDP, RDP or SDP.

OK, also try this:

SDP ' ' SDP ' ' SSP ' ' SDP ' ' SDP ' ' SSP ' '....repeat. notice the lead fist of the SDP just hits a SSP and returns to the front of the bag to lead another SDP. The Second fist of the SDP hits the bag and recircles out to the same side waiting to enter as the second fist of the SDP. This should be pretty easy for you.

OK ... I feel like I'm in the movie "The Matrix" -- ... A crazy slow-mo video... Nova's crazy fists pounding away... followed by all these letters, dashes, and dots flowing across my screen, ...as I try and decipher the code to this rhythm...

... is it just me?!?!?!

... ZaZa -- are you getting this?!?! It's the intro to your speed bag movie -- with an All-Star cast including Alan Kahn playing "Morpheus", Nova as himself (that's a cool "Matrix" name!!), Mrs Mitts as "Trinity" (you need a leading lady who can do some serious bagging), Tim as your Operator "Dozer", MetalDad as "Tank" and Ebozyn as "Neo" (it's the hoodie!!) ... I can work the pyro and explosions, just add some bullets and a chase scene and it's a block buster!!! No doubt!!

LMAO! OMG, this has to be the best post ever. I'm seeing a new twist in my film storyboards now.

I'm a little slow, but yes, I do get it and that's because of the bible (and the super secret decoder ring that's included with each copy). If you haven't picked up a copy, do so...Alan will open your eyes, ears and anything else that needs it!

...still laughing.... you nailed the characters...

I love the idea, just a bit squeemish about getting one of those programing spike connections stuck into the back of my neck Gotta get a long black leather bagging jacket and some shades

Thanks for the slo-mo, Nova. It is very helpful. I hope you'll post more slo-mo's in the future.

I'd be glad to oblige with some future slo-mo posts.....and don't forget to use the Speed Bag Bible DVD as a Tool for practicing new skills. That's my main resource for combo's as well as the forum and youtube. But there's a lifetime of work in Alan's Book and DVD

Alan, I worked on these suggestions of yours today. I definitely feel like another door has opened up and I'll give the suggestions you made in the previous reply to this post either tonight or tomorrow. I really appreciate the time you took to lay this out. In the context of what I am attempting presently. I'll let you know how I'm progressing!

I even tried it with a FSP instead of the SSP which requires a little more of a shift of the body and more roll of the fist. Just like you demonstrate on your DVD. I will continue to practice till I can move the md challenge all about the bag like you suggest!

Your are a brilliant teacher!

Yes you can often substitute a FSP for a SSP for they both contact the bag in the same angle of the rebound and both movements travel in basically the same direction. Now your thinking with your dipstick.....

LOL, I read this much like when reading the news paper with a lot of foreign names I can't pronounce. I figure they don't make much difference to the content of the story so I go like this. Hit the bag bla bla bla then strike the bag from the rear bla bla bla. Sorry but I guess if I were Nova and knew the punching routine or the wizard that Alan is and can dissect a routine it would easily fall into place. Can't wait to see you guys at SB2011!!! BTW my spell checker suggest that someone has a stu ' ' stu ' ' stu ' ' stuttering problem. LMAO. But that maybe you can rebound from it. LOL, let me stop poking fun.
