Thank’s rogue-vampire. good advice for sure. I’ll take that heavily into consideration. I tend to get counter-punched a lot, haha. No reason to take a punch I don’t have too, I’m probably also losing a bit of power on the punch maintaining contact too long. (when I do that on the heavy-bag)
I am in the bad habit of just blasting away at the heavy-bag too, I try to avoid it on mantis mitts/sparring, leaving the hand out there, but I guess the reason I do it now I do a lot more heavy-bag work and it’s become partially in-grained. Ill watch for that, thanks.
honest advice is good, hell even the most brutal criticisms here are good. A lot of people here probably think I’m a troll, but when I’m training i’ll be taking in a lot of what they said and adjusting. I probably am even going to do a little less conditioning and focus more on skill.

A perfect example of someone hitting the heavy bag with extreme speed and power and bringing their hands back fast, is Mike Tyson. Google mike tyson training on the heavy bag, its quite a scene watching him hit that bag. I’m talking his early years, when he first won the title or even better, right before he won.
