[@natebardwell]

I always tried to envision the bag was a person moving, so as it's engaging I'm basically countering its momentum which has helped with my timing and confidence in sparring (being newer to Muay Thai). What Tony said is basically what I figured out works for me, I'm sure most people it's the same thing. It makes your bag work so much more useful.

I watched your video for 10 routines the other day. Never used a heavy bag and did those routines 3 mins on and 1 min rest. Loved it. By the end it was great getting close and on the inside.

[@ZesPak]

@Darren Harper I'm 95 kg and I haven't encountered a bag that doesn't swing when hitting it with a 1-2. Heaviest pro bags I've seen are about 70kg. But you're right, most bags are well below 50kg.
