How to practice boxing without a sandbag?

In today's society, people need exercise to keep fit, but for various reasons people cannot exercise regularly. At this time, people must think of a good way to solve the problem. When people want to practice boxing but don't have a sandbag, how can they practice boxing? First of all, you should consider whether you can make a sandbag. If you can’t, then think of other methods. Next, let’s take a look at how to practice boxing without a sandbag?

Of course you can make a sandbag yourself, or you can practice on something similar to a sandbag (of course, those things are not very important). Or you can go to the gym or the stadium, but I often practice air punching because I can't be in the gym often, so sometimes I prefer fighting. So, when I don't have anything to practice, I will practice the technical essentials of air punching. I don't practice strength, but the movements must be standard.

What should be paid attention to when practicing boxing sandbags? People who practice boxing must practice hitting sandbags, so do you know the misunderstandings of boxing sandbag practice? What should be paid attention to when practicing boxing sandbags?

Hitting the sandbag is an indispensable training method for practicing actual combat. It can effectively train the boxer's reaction speed and the coordination of movements. It can not only exercise the punching speed, but also enhance the punching power.

Hitting a sandbag seems to be a very simple thing. Just fill a bag with sand, hang it up and hit it. However, many martial artists have hit sandbags for many years but cannot improve their skills because they do not know the essentials of hitting sandbags.

What are the misunderstandings of boxing sandbag training?

1. Abuse of physical strength and lack of rhythm

When hitting a sandbag, the rhythm should be changed within 3 minutes, but most people just hit it hard and become tired and breathless in less than 30 seconds, but they think it is due to lack of endurance. In fact, the biggest reason is that practitioners do not know how to breathe, attack without purpose, and do not understand changes, which will greatly consume physical strength while having poor results.

2. Hit randomly without any intention of actual combat

The sandbag is not a person and has no power to fight back, so the practitioner does not combine attack and defense, footwork, and strike with a combat-minded attitude.

Since the sandbag has no hands or feet and cannot fight back, practitioners tend to relax their minds and punch hard. It can be seen that they are very powerful and punch like rain during practice, but when they get into actual combat, their hands and feet become stiff and their minds become tense, and they cannot exert the skills they practiced normally. This is because the sandbag is not imagined as a person during practice.

3. Stiff footwork and inappropriate distance

Some people fill sandbags with hard sand or stones, get into a horse stance, and hit their opponents hard. They keep gritting their teeth and fighting until their fists are bruised and battered, thinking that only by enduring hardship can they develop an "iron fist." In fact, this is meaningless suffering and is harmful to one's body. If the punch above and the footwork below are not coordinated consistently, they cannot produce much power.

If you hit the sandbag in a fixed, rigid training method, pursuing so-called hard skills, it will be easy to be knocked down in actual combat by an opponent who has no hard skills but can exert explosive power smoothly during movement.

How to practice boxing without a sandbag? Although many people think that this problem is difficult to solve, it is not. In life, we will encounter more similar problems. As long as we use our brains, we will find corresponding solutions. Of course, the most important thing is to do all the preparations well. This is the case before we do anything, and we must not be careless.
