Shoulder height may be a tad too low - you may end up eating a knee or two. [/B]
aye, but IF may have a problem with not going far enough. trying it from the opposite end of the spectrum may loosen him up and get him comfy with a happy medium.
kinda like kung fu guys that practice in extra-low stances so that, when they actually fight, they wind up at the right level.
it’s also like fish stories: the smaller the catch, the bigger the fish was that supposedly got away. if the guys are impressed by a five-pounder and you catch a four, you just got a small fish – better luck tomorrow. but if you catch a weenie one-pounder, you gotta make something up to avoid losing face.
IF - CPA is talking about a double ended bag.
Works quite well…
But if you are practicing bobbing and weaving wrong, it will just make you good at bobbing and weaving the wrong way.

that’s fine.
Temple height sounds too high. I don’t want to duck under a punch and instead of getting hit in the nose I get hit in the forehead.
ducking is a small motion. When you duck, the fist may graze the top of your head - if it does, that’s fine. Your prime objective is to ensure that you don’t take it on the jaw - that’s what will knock you out.
Don’t duck a straight punch - slip it.when you do, try covering the side closest to the punch. That way, if you don’t slip well, you still only take the shot on your glove.

[B]I train with a headache bag. I play two games. Both need two participants.
“Black vs. Blue”
each opponent takes a position on opposite sides of the ball (usually a little less than arms length away) Now you try to smash your oponents face with the headache bag by striking it. YOU MUST NOT MOVE YOUR FEET AND MUST BE SQUARED OFF!
“Russian Rulette”
Stand about half an arm length away from the headache bag. Stand straight up and put arms behind your back. The opponent pulls the headache bag back as far as he can and lets go. You have to dodge the bag w/o moving or using your hands.
Besides that, a headache bag is a fantastic piece of equipment for bobbing and weaving. It also helps blocking. I also just box it and work different combos. Its interesting having something “attacking” back while doing some bag work. [/B]
What’s a headache bag?
If you have two people why do you need a bag? Isn’t having your partner feed you and you ducking better practise?
hard qigong and an abdoer? …it’s only aus $200…check it out..I can see your problem…instead of taking it somuch in the kness, this will promote postureto pull it back into your hip, thigh…can’t explain…hey I have one Ausytralia..if you pay the postage it’s yours

If you think it’s no good , it’s probably bcause you dont know how to use it…and you stfu …I have more boxing experience than most folks on these boards

If it’s so good, why are you offering to sell yours?
Wait, when you’re slipping and stuff, it’s mostly knee bending that is responsible for your decrease in height, right? I mean you don’t like bend forward (which is my bad habbit), but you keep your back fairly vertical (as vertical as it is in your fighting stance) and bend your knees, while leaning just a little bit forward, right?
It’s kinda new to me. The only defense I really learned is crazy monkey, and I could only go to that school for 2 months before I moved. Anyway, I didn’t really learn any bobbing or slipping or weaving or anything, just crazy monkey to clinch to takedown. I already made a thread about crazy monkey so if you don’t know what it is, go search.
Someone recommend a good double end bag. I can mount it in my apartment, right? I mean it’s not like heavy like a heavy bag, right? I know there’s different sizes and such, so what’s a good beginner size, and brand?
Yeah, it just adds a little bit more fun to training. I did solo drills on it, and I think that is it strongest quality. You don’t need a partner to get some decent training for bobing and weaving, eye hand cordination, and speed drills.
because I have enough cumulative skill to make a serious system…
and because I have alot of serious practicle experience many of the peeps on these boards will benifit from
and because I wanna know more…If your expertience is greater than mine, please feel free to advise or share what you know…I’m open…I just hate no-nothing dckshts trying to tell me what time it is…
ps… I am in China right now, and I am very very tiny…and foreign. It has taken some serious committment and foresaking nearly 1 mths training ( bar few hrs or none daily) to make it here…carting luggage ( and remember I’m a chick Ie: bulk product, clothes and shoes…many shoes)…but point being, not in greatest shape…but the local peeps here are all either :eek: or
blows me away, because really, can stay alive but didn’t think I was so so competitive.

Except even when people that obviously know far more than you about a certain subject try to educate you, you just remind them of your straospheric IQ and tell them to read a book.
You already think you have all the answers and there is therefore nothing for you here.
