[@RamseyDewey]

Speedbags are primarily for training handfighting patterns with massive numbers of reps in quick succession (something most people are terrible at), and developing power with short, small movements (you’ve got to watch a guy like Marcos Maidana on the speedbag to understand this) If you have a speedbag mounted in a way where you can move around it 360 degrees, you can develop your handfighting patterns with their associated footwork. It’s going to be much harder to do that on a wall mounted speedbag, but you can always use the power of imagination. Hand eye coordination is the least of your concerns on the speedbag since you can do it blindfolded. It’s one of my favorite tools of all time.

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

I've been practicing with the speedbag at the fitness gym. Only real issue is I can't adjust the height and need a platform to stand high enough which limits my feet position. But I've been getting better and even "discovered" some new-ish patterns I wouldn't have thought I could on a speedbag. Plus some of the patterns I saw you demonstrate in a video like a yr ago.

[@wernerfuhry]

Thanks Ramsey for saying this. Generelly shocked and dissapointet at Seth for such a superficial "review" about the speed bag. Besides boxing, pretty much every other striking art would benefit from it. Wouldn't mind if Seth said "I tried it and it is not for me" (kinda like he did with the double end bag), but not even really trying it and claiming they are useless, while not even researching what they train... like what's next Seth, no touch bs has it's place? Come on... Also if you wanna train your knuckles, just hit the bag bare fist, no jeed for building a wooden planck on a heavy base with some leather around the top (makiwara)..

[@RamseyDewey]

@@wernerfuhry every time I make a video showing how to use speedbag patterns in a fight, everyone loses their minds and they type comments like “wait a minute! That’s a technique from my traditional martial arts forms that I didn’t know how to use in real life! Woah, mind blown!”

[@derrickd3gmail]

I remember back in the day when I was doing forms and katas. Then I got myself a speed bag and started working it. Then I had this weird thing happen where my hands would finish their part of the form/kata before the rest of my body. It's like they had a mind of their own and were going turbo. I couldn't believe it. Definitely makes your hands faster and more agile.

[@RamseyDewey]

Other bags you didn’t mention but should definitely train with: round-a-whirl bag, maize bag, kangaroo bag, hanging uppercut bag, tear drop/wrecking ball bag, hanging grappling dummy, and the classic Chinese bean bag nailed to a wall.

Double-ended has become my (recent) favorite; lets me punch, kick, elbow and knee while also kinda not *ignoring* head movement/defense/footwork. Also: no, Seth, not all of us have only kicked once... sure, it’s dumb. So is getting in a fight as a grown man... not like I’m a rare exception or anything. Shit, I can’t recall a time when I didn’t do retarded shit on the reg. E: sup, Coach? I’m doing LESS retarded shit (on the reg) since I’ve had ya as a “source”.

I learned to punch on a makiwara. Great for teaching arm to line up properly behind the knuckles so you don't get wrist buckle. Because of makiwara I punch heavy bag without gloves. Everyone should train on it.

[@whitewh1]

I think a makiwara is best at developing proper form in a punch. If you have a bend in your wrist, or a hike in your shoulder, or your elbow wings out, you will find out right away on a makiwara. In addition it toughens your hands and joints, and develops power, but you can get all that on a heavy bag too.

[@lastnamefirstname6700]

I remember one time I saw a Bob at Dick’s Sporting Goods and obviously my first reaction was to punch it so I punch it as you would punch a new bag, so not hard at all but Dick’s Sporting Goods didn’t fill it at all so it went flying and made a huge sound when it crashed against all the other things, everyone just looked at me like I was Hercules

[@javilez811]

I need one at my gym ,smh

[@smol_hornet613]

Another useful application: learning how to act when your head-kick just stops. Bob is probably the best target out there if you want to get a feel for what it's like to have your kicking leg get stuck on top of your opponent's shoulder ridge, and how to recover your balance afterward. Good practice for jumping kicks in particular.

[@GABA-Gool]

(Former boxer here) What I'd say about the heavy bag is make sure you're not primarily using it for your training, if you eventually plan on fighting. It can make you develop a lot of bad habits and give you a false impression of how good you really are. If it's just for working out, then who cares. But if you really want to master technique and blending good defense with your offense, use it to supplement already instilled good habits; developing power, working reps, etc. I only say this because a lot of people just hang a heavy bag and call it good.

[@Docinaplane]

I've had experience with almost every bag in your illustration. Back in the day, the heavy bag was the gold standard. I personally like the Century Wavemaster with the water base. Yes, it doesn't allow calf kicks, but it's easy to own and use. The double end bag is very good, and the speed bag is fun. I could probably adapt to any of the larger hanging bags filled with whatever as long as they have decent weight. If you have the space at home one heavy bag that hangs and one that reaches the floor is ideal. Thank you! PS: I have arms on my BOB.

[@gronith]

Those uppercut heavy bags are ideal as long as you get a fairly long heavy one. You can hit them with punches and kicks in the same range. You don't have to slide back to kick. I think this is why many high-level kickboxing competitors choose them for their home gyms.

[@witalian1]

Hitting the bob without gloves is great for improving the angles at which your hands make contact with the target. The heavy bag is very easy to hit without hurting your wrist especially with gloves. So you can be throwing your punches wrong without realizing it. With the bob you can fix that. Also I like to use it for short distance punching.

[@myname-mz3lo]

also good for conditioning for a real fight if you ever need to

"As every person who's ever done martial arts has done." ... I agree with this opinion 🤣

[@robertbeecroft5570]

I made a free standing “bag” by stacking some truck tires on the bottom for the base and then regular tires for the rest of the height. They’re held together by 8 wood screws on each tire. That thing is a beast! I can beat the hell out of it and it won’t move from its spot at all. It takes some getting used to because it’s pretty hard, but I love it!

[@dulmater]

Great video! Missed thai bags though. The long skinny heavybags that Muay Thai gyms have. They go nearly from ceiling to ground and are great for kicking.

[@TheAntiburglar]

As a classical and historical fencer, I can say I've used the Bob a LOT for fencing practice. Throw a mask and a jacket on him and he's perfect for practicing specific cuts and targeting. :D

Bad thing about free standing bags, the plastic rod thing in the middle is real easy to hit, a solid punch and you'll feel it. It doesn't hurt, I'm sure if you can hit hard enough through the foam to feel the rod inside it wouldn't hurt anyway, but it might to some people.

I got the Century versys at home. Like you said, it's a good on the go bag. I use it for light striking practice. If you aim for the top with your hand strikes, and keep it light, it tends not to fall over. I practice movement, ect. It's really great for practicing repetitive spin kicks over and over again. Jump kicks are fun on it. I have my 10 year olds practice with it too. My 2 year old daughter likes me to knock it over and she climbs on it.

The speed bag is vital for developing defensive movements and hand fighting for boxing/long range punching. Ramsey Dewey had some good videos on how to use the speed bag. Even if you don’t use Ramsey’s techniques you need to train Jack Dempsey’s speed bag “kata:” “left backhand hammerfist, right punch, right backhand hammerfist, left punch....repeat for ten minutes every day.” This will teach you to ward off punches. You can also use the speed bag to train head shots. As opposed to the heavy bag which trains body shots. In fact, old timey boxers called it a “light punching bag” instead of a speed bag.

[@gregquinn7817]

When I read Jack Dempsey's book I realized the speed bag is actually for practicing perry/punch and hand fighting techniques (basically similar to the boxing version of Wing Chun trapping).

Bob are amazing for kicking to the head. It conditions the nerves better for hitting skin than the others

[@Wintersghost135]

I agree with you about bob. I’d like to add ways to improve him: 1. His head is light and neck is flexible so there’s no rebound to help bounce your jab back to a guard position. You hafta put more energy into yanking your hand back and it feels slow and awkward. 2. He’s always upright so uppercuts are near impossible without hitting his chest. I put a 2x4 under the rear to make him lean a little forward but a redesign would be better. 3. Since we’re going with the whole human body motif, I’d like some arms - preferably adjustable - to work on going around, over, and through his guard, maybe even a philly shell option. Also, whatever we do can have boring down time - watching tv has commercials, hitting a bag needs rest breaks. So I combine them and intermittently work out on bob during commercials throughout the day while I watch tv. Also, I don’t fill bob up to the top so he moves more. That way I can have easy casual workouts without having to always wear wraps and gloves. You can still slightly tear your knuckles with bare punches so try to punch directly and not “swipe” your skin across the rubber. Also, palm strikes are fun with bob. I also wrapped a foam mattress around his base for leg kicks - not awesome, but entertaining during commercials and friends reruns.
