HOW TO PERFORM
- Wrap your hands and put on bag gloves before you hit the bag.
- Stand in a staggered stance with the lead foot forward, knees soft and hands up by the chin.
- Throw straight punches from the shoulders, turning the hips and pivoting the back foot into each rear-hand punch.
- Snap each punch back to your guard as soon as it lands, and keep the feet moving around the bag between combinations.
- Work in rounds for the prescribed time, resting between them.
FORM TIPS
- Land with the first two knuckles and keep the wrist straight behind them.
- Breathe out sharply with every punch rather than holding your breath through a combination.
