It's hard to imagine seeing those Thai boxers doing it with a bamboo tree.
Thanks for sharing. Do you take Muay Thai classes at all? Your technique is quite a long way for being impressive. (no offense) you can improve, anyone can, just get a good coach.
I still have respect for you for posting this here, I SUCK at explaining technique on the Internet so hopefully Kin or even Ironman can come and help you out.

I can give a few pointers.
• When you throw a punch you arent throwing from you hips, meaning you are losing power by using your arms only.
• You are dropping your hands when you throw. When you throw a left, keep that right up to prtect your face, same goes for throwing a right... otherwise you'll get knocked out.
• You arent turning your hips, or pivoting your foot when you kick
• You are over committing with your elbows, which is throwing you waaaay off balance.
• you are also really static, try and be a bit lighter on your feet.
good luck with your training!! and again, thanks for posting dude.
Intermission and Killstarz, thanks for the kind words.
I have yet to take any Muay Thai classes. There are classes in this gym, but I'd rather take the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes while toying around with the heavy bag.
I should post a video of one of my first sparring sessions with a jiu jitsu dude.

I'd get some standup lessons first rather than just toying about on the bag. you'll develop loads of bad habits without proper guidance, that you will find hard to get rid of after a while.
Also PLEASE wrap your hands when you hit the bag. I know tonnes of guys who dont and every one of them has injured wrists/hands etc.

good luck with your Jits training as well
I was going to say the same, you didn't wrap your hands, thats a no no my friend.

Hmmm... I think I do. I think the video cam was simply set at a bad angle. If you were to see how my lead foot is whenever I throw my kicks, it always goes into the "power position" before I raise my rear leg. My lead leg at that moment is in a 45-degree angle from my view.
But about those punches... Yeah. lol. My chin is like way wide open.

I bought those "athletic tape" at Walmart. They're sticky and they ended up being all "twisty" when I took them off.
Are there any specific type of tape can you recommend? Preferably the ones that are not sticky?!
Not tape my friend, handwraps. They are cotton made and are reusable, check out www.MMAWarehouse.com and look for handwraps. I'm pretty sure BadBoy has a good 3 pack.
