The Heavy Bag is one of the oldest, time-honored staples in the sport of boxing. It has been around since the days of the bare-fisted warriors of past centuries. It is also one of the most misused and under utilized pieces of training equipment in the gym.
Noted former professional boxer, referee, trainer and promoter Danny Campbell shows the inside secrets from the pros to mastering the heavy bag. There is so much more than simply throwing punches and waling away at a hanging heavy bag. In this segment you will learn how to successfully work the bag in these areas:
* Selecting the proper bag for your skills and level
* Correct spacing and distance from the bag to achieve maximum power and benefits
* Throwing the jab, straight right and left, hooks, uppercuts, body shots and more
* Successfully navigating around the bag to achieve full cardiovascular results
* Drills to developing speed and power in your heavy bag workout
* Throwing correct punches in combinations

Hit And Don't Get Hit! The name of the game is to successfully hit your opponent and not get hit. Like most competitive sports there is an offense and defense. And just like most sports—defense wins championships
Noted former professional boxer, referee, trainer and promoter Danny Campbell shows you how to avoid, block, defend and/or counter almost every punch an opponent throws. There is a split second, in many cases, where a boxer must convert from offense to defense and then back to offense again without thinking but reacting. Learn how to successfully:
* Get into the proper stance and positioning
* Defend against the jab, straight right hand, left hook and uppercut
* Roll under and spin off punches
* Defend against body shots
You can soon learn to incorporate a defense like the pros. When you can react instantly instead of having to think, the battle is won.

The term “head hunter” is ofter overused, but the action is not. Most boxers totally ignore their opponent’s body and focus totally on their head. Champion boxers understand the importance of body punching and how to score successfully “downstairs”. Noted former professional boxer, referee and promoter Danny Campbell shows the proper techniques to be an effective body puncher. Discovering the lost art of body punching can take you from an accomplished boxer to a champion boxer. In this segment you will discover how to drop down and attack the body, when to apply the pressure and how to effectively work this area. Anyone can punch but it takes a real pro to attack the body.

This review is just for the video "How to Hit the Heavy Bag".
I enjoyed this video. It is well shot and well narrated. The video assumes that you've watched an earlier / more basic video (such as "how to box", or Everlast's "Boxing Workout"), and know how to stand, put on your gloves, and have a basic idea of how to throw a punch.
The instruction reviews the different types of heavy bags, reviews the basic punches, and then talks about how to use punches in drills on the heavy bag. Since watching this video I've been incorporating heavy bag work into my weight training, and I'm quite pleased with it. The first time you try to throw 90 left jabs at a bag (with very quick recovery of the punch, and good stance) in 90 seconds, you'll KNOW that you've been doing something new!
The video is a bit shorter than I would have liked, but I ended up watching it several times to get all of the great information out of it (so, in that sense, I got several hours from it!).
Recommended.
