STR33T GUY Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 they(pads) do next to nothing for your power I disagree. If your trainer swings the focus pad with weight behind it at the same time you punch the pad, it will develop power. If done correctly your arm will come to an abrupt halt as you hit the pad. A real good way to develop power is to have someone stand behind the heavy bag and gab hold as they lean on the bag. It’s like hitting a wall. A minute of experience on the street is worth a year of training in the dojo.If you can’t sprawl and brawl, you can’t street fight.
mormonfiend Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 my instructor has us do upper cuts on the heavy bags. we usually hit it like were uppercutting someone in the stomach though. learn the art of martialing
SevenStar Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 my instructor has us do upper cuts on the heavy bags. we usually hit it like were uppercutting someone in the stomach though. that's cool - imo though, you should still do head level uppercuts, as they aren't quite the same as an uppercut to the body.
SevenStar Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 as boxers often say, speed is power. there's more to it than that, though. If there wasn't, then there would be no need for weight classes.
