What is a speed bag and why is it used in boxing training?
Although small in size and tucked away in the corner of the gym, the speed bag (when used correctly) is one of the most important pieces of equipment a boxer can use to sharpen the skills and techniques that could ultimately give them the edge over their opponent.
In addition to improving your speed & hand-eye coordination, the speed bag:
Develops your sense of rhythm
Encourages you to keep your hands up
Builds arm strength & conditioning
Increases explosiveness & reaction time
Helps you build defensive skills & hones your reflexes
So if you’re keen to learn how to use the speed bag the right way and develop skills that are often overlooked but crucial for the sport of boxing, then hop onto Punchpass and book in for your next group class or PT with us!
