Good tip on moving after a strike. I tend to get cement feet.

[@seanfagan]

Yea it’s super important!

[@keaponlaffin6737]

Good thing you're not a swimmer..!

[@gbruceg5138]

@@keaponlaffin6737 ain't dat rite? 😀

[@thenoob7728]

I know this vid is Muay Thai but if I’m fighting someone who boxes more, I will get the cement footing for some power to my punch

[@revenant2943]

Spend about 6 months or so focusing on boxing movement and footwork. Then you'll want to constantly move around the bag.

[@AndreaBaker2115]

I'm a total beginner when it comes to heavy bag work so these tips are extremely helpful for me. I'm notorious for focusing on the physical and forgetting about the mental part. Thank you for all the great content. It's been SUPER helpful to me.

[@seanfagan]

That means a lot! Glad you’re enjoying the videos Andrea 🙏

[@maxanderson3733]

Thanks for the video, sir. Showed me that there’s a lot I needed to work on when it comes to working _with_ the heavy bag instead of *against it.* Especially when it comes to defense

[@scottcraig4666]

I often work out solo at home.This is great practical advice for working heavy bag. Thanks for posting Sean...🥊🙏

[@seanfagan]

Anytime.

[@anthonycalderon208]

Thank you Coach for sharing. This video will help me forever. I may not ever be good at this but for sure I will improve tremendously from where I have started from.

[@seanfagan]

It’s a journey, you’ll get there!

[@dsfairplaine]

Sean you are the man!! I have a standing bag (for now) what I took away from this video is the importance of moving with the bag. I have sparring experience and can tell you first hand the vast difference between bag working and live sparring. I must admit during my workouts I am notorious for becoming a statue and blasting away. I have spent thousands on gym memberships and years of my life throu the gracie family, however I have learned many valuable lessons in just these 13 (14 if you count the redo at the end) lessons. Specifically the notation of the fact that the fighter is going to predict the first two or three moves so you really don't start landing or implementing your strike plan until the fourth move. That alone blew my f***ing mind! That's why I've been getting my ars kicked and feely like I've been hitting a brick wall. In training I excel. In sparring I suck. Mental training is what I've been lacking in. Thank you so much for the wisdom youve passed along! Here's to the next chapter of my training 🍺!!!

[@seanfagan]

Thanks for the feedback Daniel! I'm so happy to hear that you were able to have some "ah-ha" moments when watching these tips. Let me know how you go with implementing them!

[@Beachplease13]

Got my first Muay Thai lesson on Tuesday! I’m nervous but I can’t wait!

[@bruh-le8qg]

I felt like that for my first session but everyone at Muay Thai gyms are incredibly kind and welcoming and anyone with an ego leaves it at the door, enjoy it

[@ccharlie3252]

Beautiful, this could never be taught better. A complete guide to not just application to heavybag but to every aspect of training. You’re the best!

[@seanfagan]

I appreciate the kinds words! Thanks so much for your support 🙏

[@randalorian9]

Why do people dislike these videos? Nothing but good information. Technically sound and helpful. Looking forward to incorporating some of these ideas into my bag work today.

[@seanfagan]

I know right! Thanks for the love 🙏

[@KyleHuynh]

You video brings me a totally new perspective of working on heavy bag especially the part Strike and Move. I always focus on putting power to the heavy bag most of the time. Thank you for sharing !

[@90Davidea]

I've worked out on traditional heavy bags kzbin.infoUgkxp9-sf95nqfjey-uyzxUzQ7m9MXRPK1BE a spherical stuffed "wrecking ball" bag, and now this thing. What I like about it is that it has the heft to stay largely in place so I'm not chasing it around. It's tall enough to allow for headshots and body shots, but it's short enough to give an uppercut somewhere to land. I'm very happy so far. Filling it was a bit of a cluster. For top-offs, I've learned that you can screw the supplied nozzle onto any basic plastic water bottle. I can't speak to durability as I've only had it a week.

[@carolinec8084]

Great video and sound advice as always Sean! Now I just need to move my heavy bag to a nice location like this one!!

[@seanfagan]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks Caroline 🙏

[@JamesBonsor]

Great stuff! How would you structure a heavy bag session focussing on technique and how would this differ to other types of sessions?

[@Oscarfargo]

Hey! I'm newbie here and been training with your videos since all covid19 shit started. I do Kendo and wanna get involved in Muay Thai and learn other martial art to get better conditioning and mental state when it comes to a combat. Any suggestions for warming up?

[@seanfagan]

Thank you 🙏

[@doug70101]

Thank you. Your incredible!!

[@selousowe1144]

How hard do I go? Do I hit the bag with full force and let it bounce around or do I focus more on technique and dont put so much power into my strikes?

[@seanfagan]

Focus on technique. Go slower and lighter than in a fight. Technique has to come first.

[@theredninja2817]

This is what I have been looking for

[@stemontenero4138]

Hey Sean! When are your heavy bags going to be on sale? I really want that tear drop bag.

[@seanfagan]

I haven’t thought to sell them to be honest. I just got these customized for my gym. You think I should get some more made?

[@stemontenero4138]

Sean Fagan I think it’s worth a try since you already have some gear for sale! I would definitely buy that tear drop bag as long as it’s not pricy like yokkao’s stuff for example. But that’s just my 2 cents.

[@paraka115]

Great video ty for all

It’s 100% digital 👊🙏

You said something I only have been taught in boxing .. which it not ever punch needs power .. I carry that secret in Muay Thai

Create a video about punch defence

[@seanfagan]

I'll see what I can do

[@RaulTorresMorfin]

What do you use to fill one up?

[@seanfagan]

Shredded coconut husks and soil. You can do wood chips or shredded cloth too

[@TheBohemianRooster]

Hi sean! What size of gloves do you use for the heavy bag work?

[@seanfagan]

I usually use 10oz gloves for most things

[@sabet3600]

Awesome , thanks

[@seanfagan]

You got it 🙏

[@stevekarki2414]

nice job Sean !

[@seanfagan]

Thanks Steve!

[@Erap21z]

This is great stuff! But better break out into 2 or 3 separate videos I would say... So later on after implementing your tips, it would be easy to go back and see what you need to improve on

[@seanfagan]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@ozanayik14]

Bro can you show some good combinations for good boxers or muay thai fighters

[@seanfagan]

Sure

[@VideoGamificationAC]

Thanks Sensei

Please we want more heavy bag routines

[@seanfagan]

I'll see what I can do ;)

[@qtip8907]

Hi Sean! Does using heavier gloves give you a better workout?

[@seanfagan]

It can help with shoulder endurance

[@bigLOSdog]

Any tips on keeping the bad from swinging all over the place?

[@SD-ym1rt]

Car tyre underneath does the job, well reduces it. I appreciate this is an old comment and you've probably sorted it by now ha ha. All the best!

You as well 🙏

[@LorenzoCalgaryRealtor]

I REEALLLY like that “practice missing” and see what you can come up with off of a strike, tip

[@Louid133]

What size gloves are you using for the heavy bag vs gloves used for sparing?

[@seanfagan]

10oz heavy bag, 16oz sparring

[@Louid133]

Sean Fagan thanks for replying I’ve been using 14oz as an all round glove but may get 10oz for my bag gloves 🤙🏼

[@loxwtff]

is a 80 pound bag good too?

[@andreJT9]

Great

[@jasonvanner1327]

Thanks for the help. I just started training about 3 months ago and I’m addicted now. I need all the help I can get bc when I get to spar with a partner I get lost in my head. It’s like with no instruction I don’t know what to do lol. Also when I’m sparing I don’t really know the etiquette so I don’t know how hard to punch or if it’s cool to hit my partner in the face or what. I’m 6’ 230lbs and worked out my whole life so I’m a bigger man. I’m also 43 so I won’t be getting in the cage anytime but I want to be a good partner and I don’t want to accidentally hurt anyone bc I don’t know what I’m doing? If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. Thanks again 🙏

Helooooo from the Maldives

[@seanfagan]

Hello!!

[@ignaciogalendez5625]

Wow nice

[@seanfagan]

Thank you!

[@bikeomatic8005]

I'm 2m tall and if I am to hit the bag at my eye level the bag is soft there ( I have it hanging at least 20cm off the ground and the bag is 180cm + 30ish cm of chains) so I hate or rather not enjoy these high punches as it's too soft, compared to liver punches where bag is hard. It's a quality leather bag so do I need it even higher ?

[@johnnyharris2526]

That’s how mine is brotha I don’t think it’s a big deal just keep working and I have a bob so I can work on high punches one that

[@theredninja2817]

This reminds me that I need to buy the heavy bag blueprint videos one and 2

[@seanfagan]

Dooooo it

[@theredninja2817]

Sean Fagan Part one and two or is it just part to also I’m wondering what other videos in course is a light from your site I’m trying to do a full home tutorial Of real Muay Thai at home sense I don’t have anyone to train with

[@seanfagan]

@@theredninja2817 HBB 2.0 is the most up to date version and much more complete than the first version. I'd recommend checking out HBB 2.0 or www.thefightersbody.com for all follow along workouts. The Fighters Body has shadowboxing, yoga, HIIT and heavy bag workouts and new monthly workouts (and enrollment is closing soon). Whereas the HBB 2.0 has 30 follow along heavy bag workouts and a 24-week progressive program.
