If you want to learn how to handle the speed bag, this is a great book to help you. I have been slowly working my way thru it and my technique and skills are improving. There is a lot covered so it will take time. I like all the drills that are provided. The techniques are explained well. Never knew there was so much that could be done with the speed bag. Highly recommended.

This book covers all the specifics of speed bag training, including the equipment, 24 fist punching and elbow striking techniques as well as hundreds of written practice combinations and pictures. It is not written from a boxers point of view, but rather looks at speed bag punching as an activity that is much larger than just boxing. A boxer mainly punches from the front of the bag, but this book teaches how to punch from all around the bag in many different angles and rhythms. It was written for beginners but also covers advanced topics for the more advanced user. There is also a DVD available.
This is top notch instruction on how to train with the speed bag. It starts simply enough and takes you to more advanced techniques. Also, if you use it with his videos, the two make a great training program when used together. If the speed bag has always confused you, or if you want to make the transition from just hacking at the bag with one or two strikes and become a skilled practitioner, this is the book for you . . . .
The book contains a load of information and is great for beginners and experienced alike. Highly recommend to all.
