How to handle weight
Skill rounds first, power later. If the jab disappears, the round is over even if the timer is not. Heavier bag ≠ better — clean contact does.
Usual programming
6 × 2 min on / 1 min off. Rounds 1–2 technique, 3–4 combos, 5–6 controlled power.
Caution
Wraps on. Hands up before power. Do not thrash a bag with a bent wrist. Space around the bag — this studio is shared. Breath through the nose when you can.
Setup
Wraps on, stance, guard up, bag at chest-to-head height. Jab to find range before you throw power.
Cues
- Hands back to the face after every shot
- Wrist straight on impact
- Breathe out on the punch
- Feet move, they don’t plant and flail
Common mistakes
- Thrashing with a bent wrist
- Dropping the hands to generate power
- Hooking off-balance
- No jab, only haymakers
Home swap
Shadow boxing, or pillow/backpack punches if you must
