Is the punching bag suppose to spin like that???

Question

Ok...so Im back into the scene by joining a gym. I was working on the infamous jab and noticed when I hit the heavy bag it spins furiously to the left. Im a right so I jab with the left. Is my technic wrong? SHould the bag spin like this. Im really pushing, maybe a little bit. Or should the bag not bee spinning.

Answer 1

Speed bags are small, air-filled bags anchored at the top to a rebound platform parallel to the ground. Speed bags help a fighter learn to keep his hands up, as well as improve hand-eye coordination.

Double-end bags or Focus bags are light, round bags, often anchored to floor and ceiling with elastic or semi-elastic materials. These types of bags are used to practice mobility and accuracy on a moving target.

Maize bags are not punched with great force but are used in boxing training to improve the athlete's head motion and ability to evade an opponent's punch, their name deriving from the fact that traditionally they are filled with maize.

A heavy bag is a larger, cylindrical bag, usually suspended by chains or ropes for practicing powerful body punches. Pedestal bags or tower bags are heavy bags mounted on a weighted pedestal rather than being hung from above. Other variations on the standard heavy bag include horizontal suspension from both ends to practice uppercut punches and non-cylindrical shapes.

THOSE ARE EXAMPLES OF TYPES OF BAGS

also spinning on bag is ok as bag moves is good helps with footwork

Answer 2

there could be lots of reasons for this happening. no one can answer your question without seeing you hit the heavy bag. best thing you can do is talk to your trainer and ask him how well your jab is. If you don't have a trainer then get one b/c training on your own for boxing is a bad idea. It can lead to injuries from punching the wrong way and if you decide to compete after training yourself you could get seriously hurt

Answer 3

You are "back on the scene" and you have an "infamous jab" ... but you do not know a thing about punching bags? That's a first.
