Video of me on the heavybag

[NeXt In Line]

This is the first vid I posted, of me hitting the heavybag at my gym. Keep in mind, this is just a regular gym, not a boxing gym, but I just wanted to get feedback, I know I have some improvement to do and I figure you guys can tell me the best things to do in order for me to improve. There's no audio because this was recorded on my digital camera, but you get the general idea anyways, unless you want to hear me striking like Ricky Hatton haha.



Props

i dont think id call that a heavybag.
and it shouldnt be swinging that much, your not snapping back your punches enough. careful with the footwork.
nice effort though and decent handspeed

Thanks for the feedback man.

Just so you guys know, I'm 6'1, right now I weigh about 240 but I'm trying to lose serious weight over summer before school starts again.

You need to you use to full rang of your reach.

Try to keep focusing on punching and keeping your hands high even though its a heavybag later youll do it on instinct

Move your head more and keep hands higher and practice throwing punches higher.

Punch higher. Tuck your chin. Twist into your punches. Snap your punches. Ever though of joining a boxing gym? Or just for fitness?

I want to join a boxing gym, only problem is that there aren't many close to where I live. My school has a boxing club so I'm a member of that, the guys who run it have boxed before, but we still need to get a trainer.
