delta1 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Are you talking about extra training outside a class, or learning on your own? Freedom isn't free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delta1 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 If you're starting in a couple of weeks, I'd wait. You might get a better deal from your instructor, and help support your school.Also, you'll get to see what they use, and can pick what you want. Also, you'll get trained to use it so you don't develope bad habbits. Another thing, you may need or want to buy protective gear for class- don't blow the budget too soon. But, if you're flush with cash, you won't go wrong buying a heavy bag, MT bag, Wavemaster, or striking dummy. But get quality, unless you just like shopping for this stuff. Freedom isn't free!

Rich67 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 If I had to pick one thing, it'd have to be the heavy bag. You can hang it to train MT, and lay it on the ground to practice knees and elbows in BJJ, mounted attacks, etc. Oh yeah, also get some exercise mats so you don't rip up your knees and elbows.

JLee Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 would it matter how much the heavy bag weighed? or is it ok to use any heavy bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta1 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Depends on what you want it to do. Mine is a 50 pounder, because I want it to move around a lot. But if you primarily want to work power strikes, you'd want a much heavier bag. Freedom isn't free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
