MT conditioning and bag help.

[JohnMc]

I just started Muay Thai last night. It is only twice a week. I have access to a punching bag. Do you guys know any good conditioning and bag routines I can do?

Thanks.

you can make routines up, 2 rounds of punches, 2 rounds of kicks, then 2 rounds of combinations. THrow a kick for every 5 punches thrown possibilities are endless.

Thanks spoonman

take a specific technique , example left kick, and do that for a round of 1 min and then switch to a new technique and jsut go like that and at the end do one last roun of mixing all them together.

Also do 20's with your kicks then work up to 50's

Hummm intresting no one asked what kind of bag you would be using.

Is it a Sand Bag? Water Bag?

Like others said, do rounds. Start with say 5 3 minute rounds then try to work up to 5 6 minute rounds.

Thanks guys. Not sure of the bags at my kickboxing "gym" [2x a week at a leisure centre] but the ones at my health club are stuffed with fabric.

Ok, be sure you don't overtrain on Sand bags because you can really f' up your knuckles (I have a very bad pinky knuckle).

Not from a bag, but too much stress on your hands from the impact of a sand bag can hurt you in the long run.

Thanks EclipseAgent.

On a completely different topic Kilkenny cream ale is the best beer ever.

Lol. Shaolinsavage. I'll have to try some.

Never drink anything with the word "cream" in it

3 minute rounds of nothing but very fast roundhouse kicks. Switch sides every 10 kicks. Followed by a round of nothing but hard kicks i can do about 20 on each leg switching every 10 for 1 round.
