Bag drills

6.1 Single punches on the bag

Throw all ten when you run through the Five drills as
described on the next page.

Jab (1) and jab body (1B)
Straight right (2) and straight right body (2B)
Left hook (3) and left hook body (3B)
Right hook (4) and right hook body (4B)
Left uppercut (5)
Right uppercut (6)

Begin with the Technique drill and over emphasize
your form.

Depending on your fitness level and time constraints,
you may want to combine some of the bag drills into
one round (like the Lightweight and Heavyweight
drills) — spending half the round on each.

For the Style drill you may want to switch styles
during the same round.The Technique drill and Bent-

leg drill should each take a full round. See Chapter 7
for bent-leg posture.

Jabs first

Snap off a jab or two at a
Jab head-high target in the
middle of the bag.These
jabs should crack solidly as
they land and make the bag
swing slightly and directly
away from you without
spinning.
