MultiBag Freestyle

Training Session Outline

The goal of this workout is to improve your Timing, Footwork and Endurance.

Overview

This workout involves single punches on multiple bags. It does not rely on the rhythmic series of punches normally associated with the speed bag, so precision and accuracy are not that important… but reflexes and timing is critical. This workout aims to simulate some of the randomness associated with a sparring session or an actual fight.

The goal of this workout is to improve the timing of throwing your punches, by watching, waiting, anticipating and striking when the bag is in a suitable position. It encourages nimble footwork and, for longer workout sessions can be a pretty good physical workout to improve your endurance.
