[OneSickPsycho]

I hope it came with hand wraps... if it didn't.... get some... it'll make an amazing difference in comfort and injury prevention.

We have a punching bag in the basement that me and a friend are going to hang up this week and hopefully go apeshit on. Boxing match between me and itgirl whenever we meet.

[Audiomechanic]

It look like Marco's bike! :lol:



Also, we're gonna need pics of you in action on this thing...preferably in sports wear. Aw yea.

:lol: I took a quick glance and that's what I thought too.

Beat the crap out of it, good stress relief. I use to have one and probably will get another when I have a place to put it.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

another punching bag is on my things to buy list.

[itgirl]

i nixed the ol' fashioned handwraps and went with the padded velcro handwrap gloves instead that go under the training gloves.

you use actual padded training gloves? I've got leather mitts w/ training weights that you can attatch. loves em.

[t-homo]

other than wrap, bare knuckle. We have a couple pairs of 16 oz wal-mart gloves but not too interested.

i'm new to all this. i am using the gloves shown with the bag in the pic. if there's something better, please do tell!

[azoomm]

Ooooooo, nix the padded training gloves and go with wraps. Hell, I even have a hook-up that can get you pink wraps. Truly.

I just picked up a base-heavy bag myself from my Krav instructor. :dthumb:

[NONE_too_SOFT]

yea babe, go get some training gloves. basically its like a leather or some sort of textile mitten, with a weighted bar inside that goes in your palm when you put the "glove" on.

mine have 3 dif weights that go w/ em (somethin like 1 2 1/2, and 4 lb weights for each glove). do a few rounds w/ em on, then just lay into the bag w/ some wrap and you'll feel quick like Ali.

they're not big and bulky like mitts, so ya gotta make sure you wrap your hands, but i love em.

Between that, and me being 5'11".... I'm a force of nature :lmao:

I have some small training gloves, and hate them. They slip around. It's like the idea of buying motorcycle gloves for women.... they just make boy's sizes slightly shorter. They still feel and fit like oven mitts. :td:

The wraps will keep your wrist where it needs to be, and will protect your knuckles. As a beginner, it will teach you more control. Think of it this way... do it right, cause injury to your opponent. Do it wrong, cause injury to yourself. Learn it right.

so wraps are better? i went with the padded glove wrap out of laziness. just slip on and go. wraps are cheaper though. guess i'll be making a return.

word.

form is more important than anything in the first month or so. build up a resistance to the type of training your doing, build up the muscle memory, then step it up.
If you start throwin punches like rocky on day one, you'll be hurtin so bad every time you put on a pair of mitts you'll wonder why you even bought that big pink paper weight.

[fatburg]

I've got a beater bag down in my weight room. It's a cardio work on shoulder day

[Rider]

Nice now you can work on your :ps: skills. Make sure to wear your wife beater t shirt when you train. :dthumb:

[OneSickPsycho]

I need to get a stand for mine... Preferably I'd get some sort of power rack with a built in stand... that would be ( . Y . )

Krav... I want to take Krav so bad... I can't find anyone offering it around here...

[fatburg]

I have one of those wavemaster bags, it does the job. eventually I'll upgrade my squat rack and then get a hanging one I can just clip in it then throw it in the corner when I'm done

[vabarber2]

Handwraps... trust me.
:iagree: They're great!!

And get pics!

If you didn't, you should get a timer. There's one at my old school that's literally 30 years old. Couple D batteries and you can set it for different on times and breaks. Remember- First bell means go, second means go harder and third is break. As you get stronger and work your stamina, you set the on time longer and breaks shorter and do more rounds.

These are the wraps I have.

And these are my bag gloves.

www.centurymartialarts.com and www.awma.com are good places to get gear. These (http://www.centurymartialarts.com/Boxing/Bag_Gloves/Kickboxing_Mitts.aspx) are awesome if you have a partner. Great to have a target that does more than swing back and around.

Hot damn, don't mess with itGirl!
