    Yep. It also teaches the body to keep the hands up and builds the stamina required for that.

        Check out this guy's ridiculous handspeed and power.. Each of those punches could fell a yak.

        Edit: Skip ahead to the heavybag workout, the first part is speedbag.

                Well, when I worked the sppedbag(was never really a fan, but did nonetheless) I worked 2 rounds of jab and straight and 2 rounds of hooks, it was more a warm up for my muscles then anything else. I liked accuracy bag much better.

                    Ya,
                    I find I loosen the grip when I'm really trying to snap those punches off, but I try to grip harder at the moment of impact, especially for rights.

                    Coach Spiros is my personal hero

                      Your punches return to your starting position as fast as you throw them out. Apparently you are leaving your gloves out there where people can counter....
