The one you speak of with the knuckles is called a straight punch. I found it a bit more challenging than the one I describe above. These two are the most basic punches. Use them to start out and then add punches as time goes on. Brian, the big hands are an asset for the grip strength competitions I compete in, that is for sure, but the bag is also very small. Brett, with practice, you will get it brother. Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions. Victor, is he better than Alan Kahn and Zach Ruffo? Those guys are the best I have seen... Hopefully this helped you out guys. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you out with, y'all. Kevin, there are dozens of striking techniques.

It is true that Sly Stallone beat the crap out of the speedbag. However, the master blaster of em all is a guy named Showtime Johnny Pal. If you get the opportunity, check out his latest video - its awesome. He also sings and plays the guitar and ukulele. Thanks for the post!

After the Rocky movie came out I purchased a speed bag but had no one to teach me the technique. I was using the knuckles of my fist instead of the heal part of my hand. Although I developed good speed it always looked wrong. I wish that I had seen this video when I was a kid.

Wouldn't want to cross you. Good post! Even if that bag is smaller than some, you still have hands like canned hams. Wouldn’t want to cross you.

I appreciate you doing this and how clear you made it. I recently joined a boxing gym and went over to the speed bag, thinking I could wail on it like Rocky. But I was quickly humbled.
