Punch Bag training

Hey
Just recently started wing chun and I'm really enjoying it but can only make 4 classes a week if I'm lucky so I'm looking for stuff I can do at home
What could I use a punch bag for? I've been practising chain punches and kicks but is there anything else I could use it for?

 

Check out this thread, for a few Heavy Bag Ideas...

Thanks I will have a look

 

Anything more wing chun based? Trying to get away from the boxing mentality of having one side forward

 

Alternate sides each round, or halfway through.

 

Did you have look at the Iain Abernethy Heavy Bag Podcast...? It makes no reference to which side you are working on, nor does it dictate (for the most part) which techniques to use, save saying just "Hand Techniques" or just "Kicks" - The manner in which you would then deliver them, is completely up to you, be that based in Wing Chun, or not.

I will have a look at it tonight, I have a class tonight anyway so I might learn something else to practise

 

Have you got a wall bag?

Not yet but I will be getting one when I get paid, is it just the walkergate moifa you go to mate?

 

Yes, I do a little eskrima and used to do wing chun.

 

I will probably try to get to some classes at walkergate when the metros start again, I kind of know where it is, has it got universal martial arts written on the side?

 

No it's got Moi Fa Martial Arts Academy on the sign!
