Heavy bag work

[makaveli25]

I just moved and joined a new gym. It's five minutes away I'm in a great location. They have two pretty big heavy bags up. One looks like a kickboxing bag it's very long and the other is just a regular bag. They have some gloves and different kind of mitts and pads that are free to use. I was goofing around a little last night. My hands hurt like hell hitting those big heavy bags. I broke a few of my knuckles a year back. Every power shot I threw I really felt it. They had a very thin pair of gloves I was using. They had the big actual boxing gloves but I couldn't find a pair. Someone stole the right handed glove.

I want to get good at hitting the bag. Anyone got any pointers for a beginner? I want to teach myself. I was also throwing some kicks on the longer bag. I took karate for about 3-4 years when I was little so I know a little bit I'm not a total newb.

I've been watching some youtube videos today. I think I have a better idea on what kind of drills to do.

google or even better, look on youtube for 'heavy bag drills'.

and youtube 'how to hit the heavybag' and stuff like how to wrap your hands properly.. probably why your hands are hurting now

[flipper5470]

Yes...wrap your hands even if you're wearing gloves.  I  wrap and wear 16 oz pillows for bag work to save wear and tear on my hands.
The long bag is probably what's called a banana bag.  Great for kicking.  Kic from your hip rather than snapping your knee and try to land it on your shin instead of your foot or ankle.

I want to actually learn how to do it properly. Not just run up to it and throw retarded power shots like you.
