Love the post bro.!!
Improvise kiddo! You can use old belts to tie a bag down and get something that weights a lot to tie it to on the bottom. An old tire, a tree section, old weights that people on craig's list are getting rid of... Me? I used an old girl friend, I dropped her like a stone...and the rest was easy.
Allow me to introduce myself... they call me ****** fabulous because before I will buy the fancy smanzy...well I was not raised that way. Speedbag? Take a nice soft cord, cost you about 3 bucks a yard, and tie it to something on the ceiling, you now have a ****** speed bag!!
My favorite is what I use to keep my hands tough, you like rice? well buy it in an oriental grocery, in a hemp bag, take the bag, fill it with dried red beans, leaving enough room in the bag to make a dent, you now have a hand conditioning pad. Put it against the wall, have a friend hold it, tie it down next to the heavy bag (thats what I do) on the post that comes with the bag. Hit that thing hard with the different parts of the hand, be careful! Seriously...You will hit it a lot harder than you think and crack a man's collar bone, or rib. Just be warned.
I noticed that Larry responded to your post. Larry is a great example of someone who has a great set up with nothing fancy smancy. Because I suspect if you asked him he might say something along the lines of, "all the money and training gear in the world is not worth a damn thing unless it can buy sweat, tears and blood."
My point here is that if you want to train, don't sweat the small stuff, people also make bags out of duffel bags and clothes, and self discovery starts with little more than Dedication. Find a few friends and start slow, work up. And if you think that gym is far away buster... want to know something? I used to come in from Baltimore, go through South Philly, little ole white me, rush back to the train station HOPING to make the 1130 pm Greyhound back, but often not, so I slept in the station til the morning... Because I wanted to train with this man in Philly. Lets just say you couldn't ask him "Sensei don't mean to interrupt but have to leave to catch my bus" unless you wanted free dental work I suppose. Dedication in punctuation is always capitalized.
Good advice.Comment
