What about this thing it as a curve for uppercuts but im not sure if it could provide me with the same exercise a end bag would? http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr18/Mortyr79/site61_20081211171723_1_l31bokszak.jpg

Which equipment is better to increase ur speed in combinations with all kinds of punches? I reckon the end bag is a bit difficult to do the uppercut though.

What about the standing double end bag where u dont have to fix ut to the ceiling, are they good as still?

Can the end bag make a good difference for improving defenses and reflexes for sparring?

Week ago i was hit pretty hard on my nose and it started to bleed and yesterday it happend again, while i never had this problem before, and im afraid it will keep bleeding everytime im getting hit even lightly. What can i do about this besides having better defense? Can it e dangerous? Should i let it burn it shut or something?

I have a very busy life so i wondered is this a good balanced full body work out? -Squats with dumbells or smith machine -Wide grip pull ups palms away -Bench press with dumbells or bench machine am i missing any muscle out, maybe the shoulders?

Ive read somewhere that the fat on ur belly is the last to go so does this mean u have to dieet for a long time (withouth going in starving mode ofcourse) in order to get rid of the love handles?

Which stretches shouldnt i be doing? Ive heard that bending over and touching ur toes is bad and could damage ur lower back, is this true because i do these everyday!

If u didnt feed well at night and go to sleep very hungry (many people cant sleep when there hungry but i can!) can your body break down ur muscle for energy?

That is indeed a great clip but already seen it, thx anyway

My knuckels are very important to me and dont want to risk of breaking it cause i love doing MA but when a streetfight would occurre ive noted myself to strike with elbows and not with my fist since not only would it be more damaging to my assailant but would also leave my bones more out of harms way for breakage! What do u think? And anyone got any tips on how to fight with elbows on streets?

Im unable to kick to headlevel, what kind of stretching do i need to do so i can one day?

Ofcourse i could always use elbows when it comes to self defense but i want to continue boxing and elbows no allowed

I did for 6 weeks, but i quess that wasnt enough

Ive been to a docter he told only thing i could do is rest. Also had an x ray, no breakage of any form and im able to move the finger painlessly but yet when i make a fist and hit the bag it hurts! My middle knuckle always gets the first hit on impact so i quess its from that.

Ive been boxing with an injured knuckle (middlefinger)for months and now it even hurts when im pressing it. It started when i did left hooks on the heavy bag for almost an hour straight and even 6 weeks rest didnt help because the hurt started again when i punched the bag. Its also seems slightly bigger, i quess its from the swollennes, do i need to ice it or will warm therapy help more? Anyway im thinking of laying of and form hitting for 6 months! Dramatic for i got no choice

But ive also been told that a 14OZ gloves will shatter much quicker then the punchbag mitts since they are not intended for the heavy bag while punchbag mitts are.

Are punch bag mitts good for heavy bag or would a 14oz be safer?

But wont knuckels break faster with the vertical fist since u tend to hit it with the bottom 3 knuckels where the horizontal hits with the big 2 ones?

At Krav Maga they teach us to use the vertical fist because this would be a faster and safer in street fights then the horizontal fist. I am still in doubts because i feel the horizontal is more powerfull striking with vertical fist just seems so out of place for me so i usually go with the in between of those two, the 45 angle. What is ur take on this, which one do u prefer and why?

On the street what is the best defense against a straight 1 2 (left jab and cross)aimed to ur face? I quess withouth gloves it wont be a smart thing to do to block his coming fist with ur own fist. What would u do?

While sparring is it better to slide to the right or left? IMO jabbing with elbow dows is more difficult to spot but a jab with elbow outside increases the power, what is more reconmended?

I like to rope jump for 5 min before a workout more then running to get me warmed up but is it really better then running and does it have any benefits in the long run compared to running? Is there any reason why especially boxers do rope jumping? I do notice i get out of breath much faster with rope jumping then running.

A thick pillow comes to mind, cheap but effective?

Yes i dont have enough room to hang a boxing bag but i was thinking if i could hang a padding pad against the wall and hit it with gloves, surely that would improve the safety for my fist enough to train my punches for power?
