I initially posted a video at:
I got plenty of great suggestions from you guys and I feel like I have made some progress although theres still a long way to go.
I think my footwork is a little better, as is my low-kick, jab, cross and hook - all of which were essentially non-existent on the first video.
I am trying to keep more centred and involve the hips in the power-punches as well as jab from different angles (although the location of the bag makes it a little bit limited)
I feel I am not covering up well enough and am open for counter-punches and body shots. I also would like to start working a bit on my own body shots and uppercuts following some slips/weaves.
As before, your suggestings and commentary both positive and negative are very welcome. I'd like to know what some experienced eyes tell me to work on a bit further. I DO know it would be best to go and visit my local MT club (a very strong club, actually) and will do this at some stage. For now...

Okay - have a look at the video attached. When you have finished laughing, feel free to give me some advice. Or not.
I'm a judoka - never boxed before. Never trained ANY striking (Oh, I lie, I did 2 MT sessions once, plus I've watched Rocky & Bloodsport a few times....)
So one of my wife's friends hears I do Judo (& have been for a long time) and on my birthday I get an unexpected present with a card saying "for your Judo training". Surprise surprise, some 16ox thai boxing gloves. Yeah, those are SURE to vastly improve my freaking Judo techniques.
But, since there's a full length bag hanging in my dojo (which the Sumo class use for their practice) I figure I'll have some fun. And why not take a video & post it on Sherdog.
I'm toying with the idea of taking MT on a more regular basis, maybe mid next year. Clearly I need to learn some basics (yes, I'm gonna look through the FAQ etc... and King Kabuki posted an awesome sounding bag routine in the stickies - probably too advanced for me but anyway).
At the moment I'm just throwing sh#t at the bag & hoping it looks good plus it's a good workout - something different for me. So gimme some feedback & a starting point for some basics.
.... and if anyone posts "Stick with Judo"... I'd tell you to STFU but you'd probably be right....
