Hello,

Boy, I must be a wimp [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] We normally start out with beans or even rice and work our way up from there. We may end up with gravel, but I have found sand to be sufficient in the long run. Since I am not longer worrying aobut being attacked every day I usually find sand to be enough. Still, we can progess up to gravel and eventually to iron fillings or ball bearings. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I also find the same prpgressin when training for Bui Tze. Start with something like rice or beans then to sand then to gravel and finally to iron fillings. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I am assuming you guys do not just start out with gravel but I may be wrong.

Peace,

Dave

Vingtsunstudent and Mark
"Other wing chun school". Because a far as I know the other school in Newcaslte uses a softer bag than we do. So they don't damage their knuckles and sue their instructor.
My Bag at home is heaps harder than the hard bag at the school and that blue metal (the rock are larger but don't cut my knuckles).

Yes we start with small gravel which doesn't pack as hard as sand which is good enough of hitting people and sinking in, but to increase power the harder bag is used (with a bit of small gravel to make it pack hard).
And as Vingtsunstudent said Blue metal is about the same as a person head. I haven't used iron fillings but my instructor has used ball bearings. Rice is good if you want to use gloves, When it feels like as hard gavel bag you can go straight glove without it slowing you down.
