a couple of short clips

i thought you might like a look at us testing the new set up with the bag on a ten foot pole so we can really work movement and footwork

did i say a bit?

How the fuck did you teach that bag to knock that guy out so well...

If im right that was my good mate Mol gettin his butt kicked by the bag.

MOL
told you about balance mate looks like you took notice lol and showed people what NOT to do, way to go buddy.

looks like fun.

( thats one deadly bag, didnt even look like he was going for a KO either, thought he was backing off ;-) )

heres the secret someone hides before the lesson and when the time is right they sneek out and yank on the guys ankles just as they strike!

ah

so we can blame mol for not being aware of the guy going to yank his ankles

result
D- must try harder

Craig

I don't think you should you be tying up Polish people in your garage and hitting them like that....

LMFAO

the question is... hitting like what.
looks like the bag was doing pretty well on that session



Craig

i think you missed the point steve. they are learning to be less violent by NOT hitting

I agree, I didnt expect to see from a punchbag.
I am definately taking my bag more seriously from now on.

Craig

One miss in all the time I`ve been going and you`d think I`d murdered a crippled child !
The bag is a devious swine, you can`t quite pick it up on the clip but it shimmied over to my right a touch, my placement and balance were perfect thank you very much.

And it didn`t knock me out, it was merely a flesh wound.

anyway, thank you for the feedback. You bunch of shitehawks !


mwah x

now now mate.

Just because the bag is devious be more devious than it, anticipate its movement, be at one with your surroundings, close your eyes and see hawks flying in a clear sky. feel the breeze, see the sunshine and feel it on your face.

then... as in all the best movies...

Place on a blindfold and feel the force... hopefully this time my good friend, not landing you on your keister

Keep going forward buddy.

Craig

it moved cos it was scared, and I even hurt the air with that final elbow.

Well I certainly hurt my f**king elbows, ribs and knees as I landed !

I find putting 100% into anything is vital, so when I miss I miss with stunning power and committment.

For tomorrows session I`ve got super grippy adidas sambas and will be using all my spider sense and astonishing cat like agility to make the bag suffer for its crimes.

Dented ego, slight bruising, couple of scratches. I`ll live.

Perhaps blindfold the bag next time

Blindfold the bag and yourself, then its a fair fight



Craig

Blindfold it, spin it round a few times, put the lights out and set the garage on fire.
It`s a winner!

If he does that the garage will be demolished and the only thing left standing will be the bag!

LMFAO

you see a clip of me missing just after that was the same day i had just added more elastic making it more difficult to hit,you'd hit it in one direction it would stop then as you strike it moves again.
i always tell people to make sure they drive the elbow straight through the target rather than across as seen in the other clip.

even though it was a classic clip,the lesson learnt should be learnt well! missing like that on the street could mean the difference between life and death!........clip removed

cheers Karl,
for anyone on the forum wondering on the background to this, I had to ask Karl four or five times to put the clip up of me missing and even then he double checked with me to make sure I was ok with it. I`ve got a history of panic attacks, low confidence etc and he`s been coaching me carefully to gee me up, not shatter me.
But having been a star of stage and screen for a week or so now I asked him if he`d take it down and he`s done it straightaway.

Bloody good egg and well worth seeking out. Get down to the garage of doom, you won`t regret it.

cheers

Mol
