I own an 80 kg bag in my living room. I have been training on heavy bag on and off since July 2013. But I have started training diligently since 2016. I train in both southpaw and orthodox stances. This book is my day to day reference guide on training aspects. I follow time based training and am currently on intermediate level.
Topics covered in this book include how to select a good heavy bag, benefits of heavy bag training, setting up the bag, training safety tips, buying heavy bag gear, hand wrapping techniques, the fighting stances, mobility and footwork, how to punch correctly, hand strengthening exercises, combat ranges, kicking, punching and grappling techniques, time based workout and much more. Finally, there are beginner, intermediate and advanced workout programs featuring over one hundred different heavy bag combinations.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who's planning to start heavy bag workout. You won't go wrong with this book.
