At the end of the vid, I execute a short withdraw at an angle.

Bag Work 5

Jason is working the bag again. Notice that he 9like me) sometimes uses the gloves and sometimes he does not.

Today he spins a backfist a couple of times. It makes a good follow-up although it is a flashy move.

Bag work 1

This week, Jason and I work on the bag. This was done more as a light hearted relief than anything else. We were at the end of a hard session and wanted to finish strong. The bag was the prefect way to do that.
