PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

When you watch professionals of boxing in Bondi and all around the world, you will notice that they all train quite light on the heavy bag. Most people admit to seeing them using the bag as if they are only practicing form without putting any power into it, and wonder whether that’s how to best use the bag. Well, the first thing you must understand is that professionals know exactly what they are doing, and they go light on heavy bags for a wide range of different reasons. Some of the foremost reasons include;

1.      

They are working on skills of a higher level: All professional boxers already have excellent technique and power under their belt. Therefore, they are no longer working to build up their power. They are working to perfect their flow, timing, speed, as well as maybe conditioning. For this reason, they always appear to be somewhat shadowboxing with the heavy bag in the gym. Also, they are maybe taking their time to consider a wide range of varying set-ups and angles on the heavy bag. They do not ever happen to be wailing away the way that beginners do.

2.      

They might have injured/brittle hands: After many years of hitting dense objects such as punching bags as well as the skulls of opponents (and also elbows occasionally), professional boxers certainly do whatever it is that they can do to really preserve their hands. If you watch closely, you will notice this in virtually every boxing gym in Sydney. The hands are made up of weaker/smaller bones and at a certain point in time, punches begin to virtually hurt you even more than they actually hurt your opponents.

3.      

The do their own hard conditioning earlier during the day: Unless you happen to also be a professional boxer, you are most probably seeing the professional boxer at the very tail end of his workout. Typically, professional boxers do their own heavy training in the early afternoon or even early in the morning. By the time you (with the assumption that you are an amateur) arrive at the gym sometime during the afternoon or even the early evening (such as after school or work), professional boxers are their only to spar, do light technical work together with their professional trainers, or do their warm-down drills.

4.      

They do not display their full power during busy hours: A lot of professional boxers will never display their full capabilities when the gym happens to be crowded with a lot of other professionals, their future opponents, or fighters from other varying gyms lurking around. There is a whole lot of varying reasons for this. Some of them do not want their opponents to understand their full capabilities, some don’t want people to disturb them as regards somethings they might do, while some just sort of feel shy.

These are the foremost reasons for which you will always see professionals of boxing in Bondi going light on the heavy bag. Whatever might be their reason for doing that, you must never underestimate their capabilities. With the right approach and strategy, you can always learn a lot from them. So, don’t run from them.
