Standing Punching Bag Training

Some boxers don't even look at the punching bag when training.

Believe it or not, some boxers can't even answer a question like, "Where are your eyes focused when you strike?"

I've seen some beginners fix their eyes on the ground or look aside during heavy striking drills.

When boxers are fatigued, their miss rate is alarmingly high, which is a direct result of not focusing on the target during training.

Don't let your gaze wander aimlessly; such a gaze will make you extremely vulnerable in the ring.

You should focus your attention on the punching bag, which will allow you to hit the target more accurately and be able to defend against counterattacks at any time.

To correct a wandering gaze, wrap a strap around the punching bag so your eyes have something to focus on, or switch to a different target to keep your eyes alert, such as a "double-end bag."

You should be able to focus your gaze on the punching bag without staring too intently;

you should scan the punching bag with your eyes, keeping the entire bag within your field of vision at all times;

and you should always be aware of the distance between you and the sandbag.

"Hit" rather than "push"

Do not push the sandbag; instead, hit it.

Do not let the sandbag sway; you should control it.

There is an old saying: "If you want to know who hits the sandbag most accurately, ask a blind person."

Because a blind person can determine whether your strike is accurate by listening to the sound it makes when hit.

If you hit the sandbag accurately, it will produce a sharp, clear sound; if you don't hit it accurately, the sound will be muffled.

When your arms are tired, pushing the sandbag will only cause it to spin.
