Title Boxing Title DVD - How to Hit The Heavy Bag

I just got a heavy bag, and researched the importance of proper hand wrapping. This DVD totally glosses over this important step saying something like "wrap your hands, as we have already covered." Maybe you did, but not in this DVD. A letdown.

This video only about 9 bucks. No big deal, right? Right. But, even for a retard beginner that doesn't know how to use YouTube, it's only marginally decent. Otherwise, it's just a waste of time. Sorry, TITLE, I love your other products, but this one falls short. What could have made this dvd better is if they made it longer with more content about the basics. They should have FULL segments on preparation, the punches, the purpose of the heavy bag, a brief history of the bag, the types/weights, the importance of it, footwork, etc, etc. It literally seemed like 8 mins of content. What you really need it this  Boxer's Start-Up: A Beginner's Guide to Boxing (Start-Up Sports series)  for the basics. I'm not saying that other TITLE videos are bad, but this one is.

Ok, I wanted to get in shape. But didn't want to run treadmill on my off days because it bores me to death. I was doing reviews on line and it said you could get a total body workout with just a jump rope & a heavy bag. So I thought, hey what the heck. I did some reviews and ended up buying a 100 lb heavy bag some gloves and a jump rope and was ready to rock. Wrong....I had Horrible form, didn't know what I was doing and was winded after beating the bag up (Ok the bag was beating me up) And I sprained one of my my wrist because of improper punching.Did some more reviews, and found out I needed wrist wraps on my hands under my gloves. Than after going to some random boxing forums found out their actually is a method to the madness, and that you have to learn proper form and punching technique. Searched around for heavy bag drills and came across this DVD. Ordered it and wa-la got it in about 4 days.Popped it in and wow, I was amazed at how many things I was doing wrong.This DVD is great for someone just learning boxing from scratch that would like to get a good workout by hitting a heavy bag. Now it is also one of the lowest budget boring DVD's you have ever sat eyes on. That said, it still gives you exactly what you need. You honestly only need to watch this dvd 2-3 times and you will pick up the technique.So my advice is get an instructor for a couple of weeks to teach you the basics. If you can't afford an instructor, this is the next best thing.

People tend to dislike DVDs that only emphasizethe simple basics for beginner boxers. But if thatis what you want and need, this is a solid DVD.The coach knows what he's talking about and teachesthe fundamentals in a credible and clear manner.Can you get the same information and more for freeon YouTube? Sure you can. But that doesn't mean thisDVD doesn't deliver on its promise; it just means thereare other choices out there including more affordable ones.
