But we still managed to get some new stuff in.
I skinned one of my knuckles on day 2ish, so that was bleeding through my wraps and thus the bag. also, we were trying to avoid it never healing or getting infected etc. So Graham decided to show me the speed bag.
After a quest to find a new one. We hung up a relatively large one. The point is to hit either with your knuckles or usually the forward side of your fist. The punch is somewhat different from a punch on the bag. The point is to develop hand eye coordination and control.
The goal is to make the speed bag bounce with a constant rhythm. it should bounce in a straight line. This, as it turns out, is much harder than it seems.
By the end I got the hang of it. Alternating hands and keeping the rhythm.
So that was pretty much it. I can feel my regular punches improving just from simple repetition. Hopefully I can get up on time tomorrow.
