Doing it with eyes closed

[fiddlergrl]

Been back lurking again and thoroughly enjoying myself.

After having the a couple of rounds of the crud, I sadly fell out of practice and the habit of practicing. Thankfully it didn't take long to realize something was missing in my life; my speedbags! Getting back in the groove felt both great and tedious at first. To break it some, one night I decided to try hitting with my eyes closed. Wasn't exactly easy, but drastically helped me feel the movements.

Wondering if anyone else does it with their eyes closed?

Welcome back Fiddlergirl.

Short answer is Yes several here have posted video's hitting blindfolded. Not me, but several others have.

I will hit with eyes closed every now & again, I find it really makes to think about the tempo...and the "Zen" of the bag. I also really makes me appreciate my vision (as poor as it is getting these days).

...I don't like to hit with my eyes closed, With that being said during daylight savings time (which is coming up) what I like to do is keep my garage door open, turn off the lights and bag by moonlight, in that way I can still see the bag (barely, depending on the moonlight) This makes me feel my form and accuracy of my technique on the bag

So... you like to work your bags in the moonlight do ya'?

Yep, here's a nice punch drumming tune for that.. (medium speed basic punching works great).
