Speed Bag question

[Humphry]

Hello,

I'm new to the forum and have been reading for about a week or so. I really like the forum. I am a new student, training in Wado_Ryu. Over 20 years ago I also took Kenpo and Tai Kwan Do. But I pretty much consider myself to be an untrained beginner.

I am wanting to purchase a speed bag for my home, and will probably do so regardless to the answer to my question - simply because I want it anyway.

But...do you feel there is any benefit to your training to be gained from the use of a speed bag? I am curious to read your thoughts.

Osu!

A speed bag can help to develop some rhythm and hand-eye coordination, along with providing a nice workout. I always enjoyed it.

Totally agree, if as you get better you can use the speed bag for kicking too!!!

Like Van Damme in Bloodsport.

Long intervals with the speed bag build great muscular endurance. Kicking it; that's just hardcore!
