Many guys from childhood dream of being invincible, mastering the techniques and methods of combat that always ensure victory. Everyone wants to have a strong punch and be very fast in order to avoid the opponent's punch and strike instantly. In any battle, victory can be obtained in two ways: the first is to grab the enemy and hold a painful one, and the second is to ensure the unconsciousness of the enemy thanks to strong blows.
Some types of martial arts develop both approaches, but most of them emphasize the latter option. To develop correct and quick strikes, all fighters are trained on pears. They learn how to hit a bag, and at the same time this is transferred to the concept of how to hit an opponent. Training on pears provides the development of a strong and fast blow, in addition to this, the stamina of the fighter himself. That is, the role of the pear is significant enough. Consider how to hit a pear correctly.
But, first, let's get ahead of ourselves, namely, we will talk about the pear itself. It should be a projectile weighing up to 65-100 kilograms and should have sufficient softness. Fighters must hit the bag with full force without fear of getting hurt from its stiffness.
Before training on a pear, be sure to stretch your muscles. Warming up and stretching the muscles reduces the risk of injury. That is, you need to stretch your hands well, the arms themselves, the muscles of the arms, moreover, hitting a pear is not only a punch on a pear, but also work with the whole body. The correct blow comes first from the body. That is, the body makes a movement and then the force of this movement is transmitted to the hand and at the end through the fist. Therefore, you need to stretch all parts of the body. Hands should always be wrapped in bandages and gloves should be worn. Upon impact, the wrist may be injured first of all, so it is worth wrapping it with bandages.
Impact technique
Next, proceed to the impact training itself. There are various techniques for striking. You need to practice hits on approaches. One approach should be equal to 30 seconds to a minute. Can be more. But be sure to take breaks. Breaks also in the case of learning the wrong technique can make it clear the error. Within one approach, choose one type of strike and repeat it the maximum number of times during the approach.
Many types of punch can be described, but let's focus on developing the right punch. All other strokes can be seen on the Internet by watching a video on how to hit a bag. There will be a story about the setting of the body and the sequence of the strike.
So right hand strike. With any punch, remember that the maximum effect of punching is achieved as follows:
- The fist should be in a straight line with the hand, and the blow should fall on the part of the fist where the index and middle fingers are located. It is this part of the fist that should be on the same straight line as the hand. When you start twisting your fist to the sides at the moment of impact, you can injure yourself.
- So, a right hand, provided that you are right-handed, begins with the movement of the body itself. Having become in his fighting position, the support of the body is transferred to the left leg. And you do the body movement along with the right leg. Immediately after this movement is the movement of the hand, which carries the force of the movement of the body. And strike the bag with your fist in the position of the fist described above.
When striking with the left hand, the position of the fist should be the same. A very important point is not to overload your muscles, because when they get tired, you hit with the last of your strength and any hitting technique is put aside.
Another important point when practicing hitting technique, the point of your hit should be a point on the pear, which is at the height of your height. In order not to be injured, you do not need to rush when striking. It is better to strike slowly at first, having developed the correct technique, and then increase the speed.
When learning the rules of how to hit a bag, another important point is the presence of a partner who will point out your mistakes.
