Sucks that I can't join a boxing gym this year or for a while (Covid19 related)

[WesCrook]

My favorite bag in the gym by far is the double ended bag, so I looked online when I knew gyms were closing and found this. Made one myself for like $10. Its developed my reflexes both offensively and defensively better than anything else since I started training a couple years ago.

You can't find nobody to spar with? I aint even going to a gym, me and a couple of my Boxing/MMA potnas meet up at a park and we spar and train at the park in the open air. Doing it every Saturday. I'd prefer it two days a week, but at least I'm finally getting some sparring in so something is better than nothing.

Any videos you recommend to learn proper footwork and shadow boxing??

I'm planning to fix my schedule once gyms open up again to start training in the sweet science

Work on your conditioning before you even get to all that.

Live on the 3rd floor of some upper midscale apartments, the floorboards creak if you exert normal pressure just walking, My heavy ass would get mad complaints like a muthafukaer with the amount of force and pressure I generate working the heavy bag. Looking into a townhouse with a big ass all hard-wood floor living room space downstairs so I can set up a heavy bag...shiet a home gym in general.

Cant wait til i'm light enough to do pullups unassisted without the risk of injury, I'm too damn heavy at the moment, I was using a thick ass resistance band to assist with pullups and was able to muster about 10-12 reps before gassing out.

Put it on ya balcony..

Double end bag and slip bag are great if you can't have a heavy bag.

You can even do small ball dbl end bag if sound is an issue.

Winning do a great one.

End of the day it comes down to how into boxing you are.

If you just like punching a heavybag for the power and feeling of punching something, then that's cool.

But if you want learn where your hands should be after you throw, where you can put your head before and after etc, dbl end and slip is the shyt.

Heavy bag don't hit back, but dbl end kinda do.

Once you get good at dbl end bag you can do punch out drills to if you trying to get fitter and lighter.

Ok the boxing gym is finally back open and they charge 60$ a month for classes, that’s including techniques and sparring sessions which isn’t a bad deal. The issue is COVID is still out here and I’m not ready to risk my or anyone else I care about life like that. It also doesn’t help that one of the coaches just recovered out the hospital from it. Even though face mask are required inside the gym, I still feel like that’s not going to help.
