GhostFighter Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Can the end bag make a good difference for improving defenses and reflexes for sparring? Everyday is a fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallgeese Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 The short answer is yes, it can.It's a great tool and should be, imo, the second purchase for a home gym after a heavy bag. It works well for timing, speed, reflexive action, and head movement. The last being something that I think a lot of people coming out of an eastern art often lag behind the curve at. I certainly did till I did some boxing in college. It's certainly something that needs worked and the double ended bag is a great way to do that without a sparring partner handy. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostFighter Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 What about the standing double end bag where u dont have to fix ut to the ceiling, are they good as still? Everyday is a fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallgeese Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I don't like them as much. They might be a subsistute if you don't have the room or set up for a real doubled ended bag, but from my experience they lack the movement structure that really makes a double ended bag great.Their return tends to be slower and the lever arm acting at the south pole end limits the amount of movements you get out of it. They tend to be a bit more two diminsonal than ones with cord at both ends. They are a bit slower as well, and won't stress your reflexs quite as much.Still, they are probabily better than not having one at all. Given a choice, I'd go with the free haning one however. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
