Bag Training

[Looneyas]

Ok I like to hear some idea's on bag training,

 

As i use my bag as a warm up before i do my nightly stretches, and the rest between the sets i use my bag again to pratice 3 kicks.

 

1. side

 

2. back

 

3. front

 

Since its been 15 years since i last trained, and im starting at white belt so I just need to perfect those kicks and my other kicks will come natural with a bit of work.

 

What bag routine should i do.

 

Thanks inadvance

OK... so your concentration then is on just 3 kicks the front, side and back. So your routine can consist of each kick being executed X amount of time off lead leg and then off back leg and then switching lead leg. I would start off with doing reps at regular speed then doing tension kicks and at the end doing power kicks. Figure on a good number of kicks off each leg and for each rep. I usually just do to failure keeping track of the amount of kicks done and then adding on for next time.

 

Is that what you're looking for? My routines (and I've given them out to several members here) usually consist of punches and kicks (including roundhouses)... since I teach a total bag kickbox class.

Yes thank you

 

so i can do the 3 kicks off front foot, then same off back foot, then switch,

 

ok ill give it a try thank you as well as slow kicks i do for pratice i can combine.

 

Would it be a good idea to do a x number off each leg between stretching reps so i do my stretches, in the minute break i kick the bag in a set routine, Then i go back do another stretch do this this i have completed my stretching, then do my kicks on the bag as well at then end.

Best to do the stretching afterwards, after you work up a good sweat and muscles are nice and warm. The bag workout with the kicks is really a dynamic stretching (in a way)....

 

Try and work the height of your kicks (gradually getting each kick a bit higher on the bag. Now none of that nonsense about high kicking. Then concentrate on power!

 

Happy Kicking to you!!

ok so if i do a 30 minute bag work out, As my lead up to my Isometric stretches so do a set work out on the bag then my stretches, ok i will do that for a month see how that works out, Dont stretching make kicking higher natural, as im 5ft 6 i can kick with power 6ft 2

 

thank you again
