How To Hit A Punch Bag

Boxing is great exercise, but you need to make sure your technique is correct so you don't injure yourself. In this Videojug guide Sabina Wallace-King, personal trainer and professional dancer, shares some tips to get you on the right track.

Top Tips

  • Wear boxing gloves or MMA gloves to make sure your hands and wrists are protected properly.
  • Close your fist with your thumb folded over your fingers, and your little finger well tucked in, this way you won't damage your hand when you hit the bag.
  • Rotate your body slightly as you hit the bag, this will give you more power.
  • Hold the hand you are not hitting with in the guard position, touching your face.
