The Secret Tip to Hit the Speed Bag Like A Pro

The Secret Tip to Hit the Speed Bag like a Pro

Watch me break down amazing boxing techniques

Hitting a speed bag is not as hard as you might think. The secret behind hitting the speed bag like a pro is actually pretty simple. However, most people still can’t hit a speed bag the right way, especially as beginners. For this reason, I have put together this video to teach you exactly what you need to know to hit a speed bag like a pro.

If you follow through, you should be able to hit a speed bag with your eyes closed by the end of this video.

My name is Tony Jeffries, Olympic medalist and retired professional boxer. I am now co-owner of Box 'N Burn, two boxing fitness gyms in Los Angeles, as well as the Box 'N Burn Academy where we train professional boxing trainers.

This is the secret to hitting the speed bag like a pro.

You have probably seen someone hitting a speedbag in movies or social media. When it is done right, hitting a speed bag can be very eye-catching. If you want to give it a try, you should be pleased to know that it is not as hard as it looks.

All you have to do is go-round with your fists as you hit the speed bag. Make sure you are close enough to limit the bag from moving in any direction other than hitting your hands. This also doesn’t mean moving so close that the bag is almost touching your face.

The common mistake most people make when hitting the speed bag for the first time is not getting close enough. The secret is adjusting your position to find the optimal distance that will allow you to hit the speed bag right. After that, all you need to do is spin your hands as your fists hit the bag. Not being close enough to the speed bag as you hit it will normally make you lose control of the speed bag.

Thank you for demystifying this for me. I've boxed for years and no one could tell me something so simple.

[Pitbull]

I can’t wait to try that.

You make it seem like it would be easier to do it that way, but how do you do it a single arm at a time? Like to work on both individual arms taking turns?

Can you discuss the speed bag as a workout, the point of it etc.

The way you demonstrated it here makes it look easier to hit but is that really gonna improve skills or stamina hitting it that way?

Thank you, love your channel!

Hey mate could u post the link for this speedbag? I’ve been looking for a quality one after mine got broken a couple months ago

[ImSoooRad]

Uh. I know nothing about speed bagging, so take my thoughts heavily salted. I always learned you weren't supposed to go for consecutive hits on a speed bag. I've always learned you're supposed to go for a pattern.

Right Punch*bouncebounce* left punch*bouncebounce* etc.

I'm nothing close to a fighter and I could round my hands like that on a speed bag for days I'd wager.
