Speed bag requires you to position the bag platform at least a foot above your head, leaving the actual bag above eye level.

Correct positioning of your hands should be slightly higher than they would be in a traditional combat boxing stance.

As you begin your drill, you will immediately notice the incredible burn in your shoulders as well as your arms and neck muscles.

One of the major benefits of hitting the speed bag as well as these other drills, Focus Pad drills, and Double End Bag drills is that they sharpen your Hand-Eye Coordination.

If your hitting a Free Standing Punching Bag, the object is to move around the bag.

THE SPEED BAG

While your striking the bag you move around the bag, hitting it from all angles.

This has a two-pronged effect. First by moving it forces you to adjust your striking angle as to keep the rhythm of the punching going, causing you to get your feet in position to not miss a beat.

This is how you develop proper distance for striking effectively.

You will miss here and there as a beginner, but you will see as you continue to focus your Speed Punching on the bag, you will soon be smacking the bag around without even looking directly at the speed bag.

This would be your new found ability to be in the right position.

There is a saying in boxing circles that all Grandma wants to know is the final results.

Confidence comes from success, success comes from hard work. If you become a beast on the speed bag you will undoubtedly start to believe your good. That’s confidence.

WHAT IS CONFIDENCE?

Confidence is a state of being clear-headed either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. Confidence comes from a Latin word ‘fidere’ which means “to trust”; therefore, having self-confidence is having trust in one’s self. Arrogance or hubris, in comparison, is the state of having unmerited confidence—believing something or someone is correct or capable when evidence or reasons for this belief are lacking. Overconfidence or presumptuousness is excessive belief in someone (or something) succeeding, without any regard for failure. Confidence can be a self-fulfilling prophecy as those without it may fail or not try because they lack it and those with it may succeed because they have it rather than because of an innate ability.
