i got the keith livingston kickboxing book a while back and shadowboxed all the time and developed somewhat technically.
technically i throw a decent punch as far as body rotation, making a complete fist and keeping hand straight (not curling it), not telegraphing it, footwork...
but yeah i use sparring gloves but i do not wrap my hands...my hands hurt sometimes, but not that bad...i guess because it's only a 50 pound bag..lol
and yeah i usually just do basic combos like
1.the ole 1-2
2. hook, cross, hook
3. jab, cross, hook
4. jab, rhk
...i don't go too crazy with 6 punch combos or any crazy ninja shit yet lol
...i usually punch it till i'm sweating pretty good and i'm pretty fatigued...it usually takes like 30-40 minutes about when i'm going full on...lol i'm kinda outta shape but i usually drink quite a bit of water before hitting it...
i was gonna get a double end bag, uppercut bag, and speedbag...but then i thought that would be pretty stupid to buy everything all at once and that i should just wait..lol
and yeah i know jump ropes are really important but what exactly do they help...just timing and coordination?
as you can see i'm a noob (i'm 17) so any points that you can make and any quesitons that you can answer would be greatly appreciated....
thanks alot to everyone who posted so far and yeah Ramma i'll try to get the pic of my set up on here tomoroww.
