My client's last lesson of this particular Boxing course focused on using the heavy bag. We concentrated on using the swing of the bag to create better movement. I am inclined to write "timing", but that is probably better achieved through our live practice. The heavy bag is a great tool for solo work. It allows the fighter to hit with full force regularly and, by using our gym mirrors, he can keep an eye on his form. There is a degree of autonomy and ownership he can take away from his training by doing this; some accountability for plugging up holes in his defence and correcting certain behaviours.
We used the session to bring in everything covered in the past course. He moved in and out of ranges, shifting between mid and close range whilst never overstaying his time in the pocket (a regular area we have covered this course).
