I put a strip of tape around my bag at eye level and at hip crest level so I could keep track of where I'm striking.

[@seanfagan]

That’s a solid idea ✊️

Damn criminally underrated idea dude appreciate it 👊🏼👊🏼

[@adamolofsson2558]

Thank you for all awesome tips man! 🔥 Here's a tip for you to up your video quality. You should lock the focus on the camera to manual on the bag instead of having the auto focus going back and forth on you and the background! Again thank you for all the amazing content man, it helps alot! 👊🔥

Extra tip: not recording yourself doing bag work to see if you're unknowingly doing any of these

[@seanfagan]

Yea it definitely helps to film yourself!

[@peacebalancetruth]

*A+* 👏👏👏👏 Let's GOOO 💪😤!!!

[@geektarchannel581]

just started muaythai 3 weeks ago and i made exactly these mistakes 😂 next time i'll know what to improve, thanks for the video!

[@light5346]

Brooo....i got an add of yours at the beginning of the video nd thought it was part of it, thats crazy now i will continue screaming at my punching bag....

[@seanfagan]

#inception 😂

[@ronaldson57]

Great video love it since you been fighting a long time in muay thai do you implied head movement in every strike

[@seanfagan]

Not in every strike but it definitely helps to add it as part of your defense!

[@MDWavemaster]

Thanks. Can you make a vid on proper wrapping, especially for weak wrists? Maybe I have improper form.. Wrists are sore after nearly every workout. No sparring. Cant...car accident.. thx!

[@seanfagan]

I’ll see what I can do!

[@cesardaviddelgado]

1. Usa defensas y esquives 2. Muévete alrededor del saco, sal de zona de ataque y contragolpea 3. Pega alto, como peleando contra personas de tu altura o más 4. Usa los movimientos del saco para tu timming, etc. 5. Golpea directo, no envíes telegramas» 6. Manten distancia y balance, no te sobre extiendas o pierdas balance 7. Golpe o patada que sale es golpe o patada que regresa, patada 8. Usa fintas, engaños, trucos 9. Relajate y explota, pasa de defensa a ataque y viceversa. Respira correctamemte 10. Pon intención, enfoque de entrenamiento

[@lisaundchristoph1]

You never had an uppercut to ur groin To open ur spreadly leg for defensive manuver It works the reverse in street fight

[@Jseerockhead40]

I have seen people strike with their wrist as a result of missing and not landing a punch and break their wrist, also remember poker face

Jumps and hangs on the bag 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sometimes you gotta love them to death

@@seanfagan I wish I could agree but my only heavy bag is from Century so it sucks lol. Saving up for a combat corner bag because I’m an ambassador.
