Working on SSP and SDP.

[Speedbag Seaweed Man]

Working on doing my SSP and SDP by swinging more from the elbows and not by swaying from the shoulders. Made some progress on that today, when I got it right it felt solid, and the fists were back to where they needed to be faster afterward compared to the extended arms SSP, SDP I was doing. I will keep working on it, I'd love to hear any other tips I may be able to glean- from the wealth of knowledge and skill our members possess.

Ahh, the amazing power of practicing with a purpose. OUTSTANDING PROGESS, and a move I have not yet see on it's own, ....or at least remember seeing it. But, look closely at 1:20 and again at 2:00.

1:15 you do a double split fist, nicely done, to Reverse Fist Roll (1:17), both fists to front and then (1:18) a Right leading Outward-Triple Elbow Strike, (O-TES) followed by a Left leading Double Elbow Strike (O-DES) after ....ONE rebound,(not three) making this a fairly advanced combination.

right lead E-F \ F ' Left E-F

You do it all aqain at 2:00

Did a lot of other very cool moves, including a Reverse Direction Reverse Fist Roll. That is VERY hard.

A+

Yes there is certainly purpose in my practicing, the pure enjoyment is purpose enough. What I aim to eventually be able to do is punch drum. I am beginning to get the feel for the bag but rekon I'd rather learn the fundamentals and get a bit more practiced in my echo rhythms first while I am having so much fun. See I still have no real idea what I am going to do when I start hitting, it's all spontaneous. I get the bag going and just try to keep it moving. I have a few ideas on combinations I want to throw in but the rest in between just fills the gaps. I guess that's how we each bag our own style?
Thanks for the help so far Speedbag! It's not going to waste, I appreciate it all. Any suggestions for a cool set of combinations to slay directly from the reverse direction reverse fist roll? The one I do in this vid is a bit weak and with a bit more practice I feel I can redeem myself lol.
