Many boxing fans decide to become more than just fans, they undergo their own training to become a real boxer, but most jump the gun and want to move right to a heavy bag. Some training schools will humor their students and let them give it a try. However, any type of boxing bag requires some skill and most beginners just do not have this skill (at least in the beginning). The wrong moves when attempting to punch a bag cannot only result in injury, but costly, painful, and permanent damages.
In boxing schools around the globe, you will find different bags setup inside. Some schools use these different bags for circuit training, which is a slow and steady way to develop a boxer?s coordination, strength, and speed. However, other schools only have different boxing bags to accommodate to different wants and needs.
The average male requires a heavy bag that weighs about sixty five pounds. However, most schools have forty pound bags as well as one hundred and more pound bags as well to best match the bag to not only the height and weight of the boxer but their skill level. An experienced boxer of average size and weight will require a bag much closer to their weight than a novice.
See, an experienced boxer has spent a lot of time perfecting their techniques and they have built up the necessary amount of stamina, speed, and strength. This is necessary with a hanging bag because you want the bag to move just a little bit. With practice, a boxer builds up coordination because they hit a moving target. Proper bag size is also important because a bag can sway too much if it is too light.
When a trainer feels their student is ready, they will pair them with the proper sized bag. Along the way, a boxer will be evaluated by the trainer and moved up to a different bag. A bag that sways too much with improper use is not only a bad practice tool, but it can be a danger to an inexperienced boxer. You might be surprised how many beginners have walked away with broken noses.
For the home user, picking the correct heavy bag can be difficult. The recommendations may yield a bag that ends up too light later on but is too heavy when the aspiring boxer begins using it. The advantage of the gym is that they can afford to have a range of sizes, whereas the home gym user is lucky to have space for one boxing bag, much less ten.
For the best results and a safe choice, pick a bag that starts out a little bit on the heavier side. With a strong commitment and continued training, your skill level will grow tremendously in just the first few months; you will then welcome the added weight. Since you don?t have a trainer when using a heavy bag at home, go slow and steady to not only prevent injury, but prevent those injuries from becoming permanent.
Using a heavy bag is an exciting experience. Punching hard enough to move the bag for the first time is impressive and learning to strike it repeatedly while it is moving is equally as satisfying. Purchasing one's own boxing bag is also a satisfying experience as is the first punch swung after hanging it in a workout studio or garage. - 29957
