What stances do you use, and why, when hitting the “sand” bag, or what ever contents you use? Is there a connection between the stance you use and the contents? What is that connection?
The connection
My fist…hehehe 
I stand in a normal WC stance,like how you stand doing SLT.Well I stick my fist out untill it hits the bag and I line it up so my elbow is a bit more then just slightly bent so I am basicaly close.When I punch I sometimes use my body…
Whippinghand,when you use your body,do you turn your body or punch with your hip going toward what your punching?

I am Sharky’s main man…
both
Yes sorry I messed up,I ment do you turn your energey in a different direction.Lots of people do it and dont know,whenyou aim your hip toward what your hitting(like punching with the hip) you are directing more of your energy into the target…

anyone else?
I’ll chime in
I stand in a YCKMY just far enough away that my arm is bent slightly when it hits. I then put one fist one the bag and the other on top of my elbow. I then “switch” ths hitting the bag.
why
first of to practice my punchs. Makeing sure I am punching both from my elbow, and from the ground. Staying relaxed, and rooted. I make sure I don’t sway or rock back and forth, and that my “structure” is sound.
Also it “conditions” not my hands so much as my arms, elbows, and wrists to contact and the jarring of strikeing. So that if I hit someone i can issue power from the ground and not break/damage my own arm.
I also “warm up” by hitting the bag a hundred times or so before I strecth out fully.
What I’m not doing is pounding on it till I bleed or trying to ram my fists into the wall. I almost just “tap” it.
when hitting with open hand
what parts of the hand to you make content with? (not directed to anyone in particular)
heel of the palm, edge of the palm, fingertips
what part of the finger tips?
i thought tips were tips… 
ec
are you referring to the very tip?
i haven’t actually analyzed the different regions on a single finger TIP so i’m afraid i cannot answer your question 
can you please tell me what different regions make up a fingertip?
-the very tip (the part that makes contact when your finger is perpendicular to a surface)
-
the cushiony part (the softest)
-
the part in between
tips
i train the very tips! 
not good guys
u arent supposed to hit a punching bag with yor finger tips cause u can mess yor hands up. If u wanna condition yor fingers to be stronger u start with bui geeing through a tissue and gradually hitting harder substances.
the tips
my training is opening new doors for me all the time!

again, where is contact made, even in poking a tissue?
