Glad to hear my videos can help improve on your technique. Never too old my friend. Fighters keep fighting.

Thank you my good man. Glad you are enjoying the videos.

Glad to hear my video could help. Thank you

That is a great idea Don. I do that with my clients all the time. It works like magic. It is always better to be able to see yourself doing the moves in order to correct your technique. Thank you for sharing.

Did the same, terrible humility lession, you right.

That is so awesome. I am so glad to hear that. Once you master the basics, advanced skills become so much easier.

@@AhmedShraim Absolutely, sir. And I will continue to only work on mastering the basics with the correct form and function, before moving on to the next.

Pedro C.C. Deville glad to hear that. Good luck with your training.

Thank you my good man.

Thank you my ma.

Glad you are enjoying yourself while learning. Good luck with your training.

Don Lawrence glad to hear my videos helped. Best of luck of my man.

Thank you. Glad it helped.

You're very welcome!

Anita Russum I agree. Thank you though.

Cheers

Hey Don, thanks for the kind words and glad you are keeping up with your training and improving. I am not a big fan of the fist roll personally but will gladly do a video on that trick soon for you. I will include it in the "Doubles trick" that I am planning on recording soon for the advance tricks. Will also include slow mo clips to help making look clearer.

Hey Don, I don't use nor recommend gloves as they do NOT offer the right protection/support we need in boxing. I only use hand wraps. 180 " long Mexican style hand wraps. I actually have an instructional video on my channel on how to wrap your hands. It is not easy at first, but keep trying and you will get it right. Also you will look so much cooler than the gloves.

@@AhmedShraim How wide...2"inches?

Joey Cymbals wraps you mean? Not sure of how wide but typically all hand wraps are same width if I am not mistaken. Unless you use gauze

I know that knew swivel you got with the new rig you just got. I had those on two of my speed bag platforms and changed them to the ones currently installed. I personally found the chain link ones to be extremely finicky and caused the bag to sway all over the place. So I would recommend you install the old one you had on the new platform.

It sounds like you are hitting the bag on the side with your right hand and not in the center of the bag. Try moving back a little and focus on hitting the bag in the center. Try NOT to hit hard at the beginning and see how it goes. Let me know what happens and we could try to fix this together. Good luck

It could be one of two reasons. Either your swivel needs an upgrade or you are hitting the bag at different spots. When you practice this trick you will need to try and hit the bag on the same spot consistently in order to keep it going straight. If you could send me a video of yourself hitting your speed bag I can give you some better advice. You can email me at info@shraimsboxing.com

Hey Lex thank you for subscribing and glad to hear my videos are helping you learn and train. The toe/heel move is basically two jumps on one foot and then switching to the other foot for two more jumps. Once you get the hand of that and you can switch comfortably you will be able to make it look fancy by switching between the heel and the toe. I know it sounds complicated right now but once you mater the two jumps on each foot routine, you will find yourself doing it. The other trick is really for looks more than anything. It looks cool when you can swing the rope from side to side and then get back on it. If you jump rope often and keep trying to master those moves in both videos, You rock it for sure. Good luck and keep me posted with your progress. Would love to see videos of you hitting the speed bag. If you don't want to post them here, you can email them to me and I can help you improve.

Shraims Academy; Coach Ahmed, I would love to show you what I have filmed (unprofessional of course) via iPhone...BUT I don’t know how. Nor do I know your email. But today is day 17, with a possibility of missing 3-4 of these 17. I have a couple of vids - at day 3, day 10, and day 14. I will tape shortly and hopefully by then I will have a reply. If not no worries. Thank you very much again for your GREAT teaching technique and ability.

You can send me an email to info@shraimsboxing.com we could chat there.

Yes. The swivel has a lot to do with it. But your bag also needs some seasoning. Keep at until the leather stretches a little

Very cool. Day 30 will be so great I promise.

It depends on your skills level and hand strength. The more air in the bag, the faster it will go. The less air, the slower but easier on the hands.

apostolic bible polyglot well, do you mean boxing gloves? You shouldn’t use boxing gloves on the speed bag because you won’t be able to move your fists freely. However there are padded gloves that you can wear instead of the hand wraps. Those would work. They are designed to replace the typical hand wraps and some people prefer them for the simplicity. As long as the padded gloves are tight enough to protect your hands but small enough to allow your fist to move freely, then thy should work.

With all due respect you are mistaken. Hitting anything with your arms whether straight, sideways, backward etc will work your arm muscles regardless of the direction of your movement. Trying to catch a fast moving target with your hands improves the overall speed, eye hand coordination and timing of your hands. This is NOT just a hand speed drill. It also develops your sense of timing, rhythm and eye hand coordination.

@@AhmedShraim It takes just as much speed and hand eye coordination to hit a bag with straight punches and develops better real world skills. Try 100 jabs as fast as you can daily and see how much better you can deliver multiple jabs when in the ring or on the heavy bag. Same with working hooks... you do 100 + hooks as fast as you can daily and you'll find you can deliver lightening quick short hooks that'll catch an opponent off guard and wonder where it came from (video of Ali illustrates this quite nicely!) Of course you'd have to actually try either of these to see the benefits. Just throwing it out there for anyone who may want to increase their training efficacy ......

@@marty9464 Are you saying do one and NOT the other? And are you saying you don't need to do a variety of training to improve your skills, speed, strength...etc.??? If you do, then I disagree with you. I never discount any form of training to improve one's skills. It seems to me that you are limiting your skills development due to one video of Ali doing his thing! I highly recommend you do exactly what you suggested and practice the speed bag for ten minutes every day and then compare the results before you discredit a well established and proven method used by millions of fighters around the world.

@@AhmedShraim When I developed my speed bag routine back in the late 70's, I started with what you're teaching and then realized I could get more functional benefits by doing it the way I've described. I'm not discrediting the traditional methods at all, I just found a more productive way to develop functional speed that I preferred. If people are happy with the traditional method, they should keep it up. In all my endeavors I try to improve and in this endeavor, this is what helped me improve. I also used to spend closer to 20 minutes on the speed bag, working various combinations and found I improved my ability to use either hand with, speed, accuracy and responsiveness.
