Originally posted by Tim View PostHere's my take, the following strikes in the SBB are "real world practical" for self defense :
Elbows - Accuracy and coordination with elbow strikes. Granted these aren't boxing strikes, but they certainly are Muy Thai (some kinds) and no holds barred self defense. Initially elbows feel very awkward... but with enough practice they flow easily.
Front Straight Punch - Pretty obvious..
Hook Punch - also obvious...
Kicking - there is a whole section on all kinds of kicks.
Backfist - Backfist is covered. A "show" move for sure, but I've seen this used in UFC fights (including knock outs)
Inward Double Elbow - I've seen a book before "No Holds Barred Striking" that espoused a strike that is basically the I-DES from the bible... you hit with the fist, then follow through with the elbow of the same arm. Practical? I have no idea , I read it in a book, but it seems like it might work in a real life defense situation.
Here's the other half of it... all the back of the bag/side of the bag stuff helps speed and hand eye coord. as well. Don't leave this out ... would be my advice. It makes things a lot more fun as well.
I say get it... Alan offers a basement bargain discount to forum members, I guarantee you'll like it.

If this will help keep things fresh and interesting and still be a viable use in the way I use the speedbag I will probably purchase it. Hell I probably will regardless.Last edited by Tim; 02-05-2011, 09:12 AM.

...and shes the one with the Masters degree?!?!? WTF Ha!!
