speed bags a thing of the past?

[tekkenfan]

All this is telling me you trained all those years without realizing how much more useful the speed bag really is.

Your thread title and opening posts says it all. No need to throw out your resume to bolster your argument - it doesn’t...

lol ill take being able to actually punch people than knowing how to do a speed bag then you can have your boxersize skills though

After this entire thread and the tidbits of knowledge dropped by posters like sinister and others you still choose to ignorant and arrogant? Do you post on forums just for people to validate your opinions and ego instead of trying to improve your knowledge and skill?

LOL - shoulders not used to keep hands up.

LOL much easier to keep hands up with elbows against the torso and the torso slightly leaned back, putting no strain on the shoulders of holding weight.

If one was using a high, peek-a-boo style guard like Tyson or Erislandy Lara, the shoulders would be more stressed, correct?

D'Amato was smarter than that, the true beginning position of that system has the elbows VERY tight to the body and hands almost tucked against you. They only open to punch.
