Playing sandbags is an indispensable method to practice actual combat. The practice of punching sandbags can comprehensively test your attack power, and bombarding sandbags with various techniques will not be damaged. So Chinese and foreign martial arts practice punching sandbags. Playing sandbags seems to be a very simple matter. Just put the sand in a bag and hang it to fight. Many martial arts practitioners have been punching sandbags for many years, but their level can't be improved and they don't know the essentials of punching sandbags. The analysis revealed the following common shortcomings. (1) There is no actual combat awareness. Because sandbags have no hands and feet and can't fight back, practitioners often relax and punch hard. You can see that they are imposing and imposing in practice, but once they are put into actual combat, their hands and feet are stiff and nervous, and they can't play their skills in daily practice. This is why sandbags are not imagined as adults in practice. Did not combine attack and defense with footwork, and consciously hit in actual combat. ② Stiff footwork and improper distance. Some people put sandbags with hard sand or stones, put them in a stance, hit them hard, bruised their fists and gnashed their teeth, thinking that only by suffering can they practice "iron fist". In fact, this is meaningless suffering and self-mutilation. The fist above is inconsistent with the footwork below, so it is impossible to produce much strength. When did you see Zamabu, the world champion, hitting sandbags? People are alive, and the skill of repairing things is very strong, so lightning movement may not be needed. A karate master showed Bruce Lee the hard work of breaking boards to demonstrate. Bruce Lee smiled faintly and said, "People will fight back." In actual combat, Bruce Lee successfully defeated his opponent, relying on the purity of the overall fighting technology. If you play sandbags rigidly and pursue so-called hard training, you will easily be knocked down by opponents who can play explosive power smoothly in sports without hard training. (3) Abuse of physical strength and lack of sense of rhythm. The rhythm of punching sandbags should be changed within 3 minutes. Most people will only work hard, and they will be exhausted in less than 30 seconds, but they think it is lack of endurance. If you can't breathe, attack without a purpose, and don't understand changes, you will greatly consume your physical strength and the effect will be inferior. There are still some problems that are not listed one by one. The following details the essentials of punching sandbags. If learners learn thoroughly and understand thoroughly, they will eliminate the state of considerable distress. First of all, the configuration and installation of sandbags. There are two kinds of sandbags: long and small. The elongated type is100-150cm in height, 35-40cm in diameter and 35-50kg in weight. It is made of canvas as a coat (sewing shoes can be found), and a small cylindrical sandbag is built in, which is filled with soft objects such as sawdust or sponge. In order to prevent the middle sand core from sagging, the middle and small sand cores should be the main stress parts when hanging, and then the coat should be attached. Small sandbags can practice intensive boxing, slightly larger than basketball, and filled with sand or sawdust. It is required to be spherical rather than cylindrical. Those who live in buildings in the city can use angle steel and expansion screws to fix a 90-degree bracket on the side of the wall that can withstand the load, which is used to hang sandbags. It is required to have a room of1.5m around the sandbag. Set pulleys or steel hooks, pull them up when they are used, and put them down when they are not used. Hanging height, the bottom of the heavy sandbag is slightly higher than the navel of the practitioner, and the small spherical sandbag is at the height of its own head. Second, the method of attack. 1, fixed play: the person holds the sandbag and the practitioner hits it accurately. This is the primary stage, so that learners can understand that fists and fists are exerting strength, and those who make mistakes are often easily knocked down by reaction at this stage; People who don't know the strength of their punches can easily find that they can't push or hit, so they stand in the position where they hit the sandbag in the previous step to experience the distance, the strength of the whole body, the penetration, the whip force, the shock force and so on. If you can finish the blow with obvious skills, you will be promoted to play with mobile sandbags. 2, playing live sandbags: live sandbags are more difficult to play than fixed ones, and sandbags are shaking. You may hit it for a while and hit the air for a while, but a powerful punch can't produce strength. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the cooperation between boxing and footwork: pursuit, retreat, confrontation, continuous hitting, forehand tapping and so on. To experience the beauty of hitting the ball. Similarly, when kicking, just kick when exercising, you don't have to hit hard every time. Third, click on the combination strike. Repeated clicking can firmly grasp the power of one punch and one foot, and you should pay attention to it in the initial stage of punching sandbags. Don't fight at first. Play it over and over again to see if you can exert your overall power. Combined blows, you can hit a second-hand straight fist first, and then gradually transition to multiple blows. You should change your priorities when you hit the ball. Especially the combo density of hands and feet is not suitable for forming hands and feet. A series of blows, hand in foot out, foot out, closely linked, such as flowing in one go. Fourth, the main point of attack: 1, fighting consciousness: you must imagine a fierce enemy standing in front of you and forcing you step by step. You must go all out to prevent, fight back and hit hard! Hit him hard! Can't treat sth lightly, so-so, careless! Once the hand is empty, change the coping style immediately, always imagine the sandbag as a person, make a diversion, lead up and hit down, hit left and right, defend and counterattack, dodge, and hit the sandbag with imagination. You will feel the benefits brought by this practice in actual combat. 2. coordinate and relax. Relax, relax, and emphasize it every day. It makes you faster, harder and more energetic. It's like a storm. When you leave, relax immediately, adjust your breath, get nervous at the moment of hitting the ball and make an explosive force. When hitting the ball, tension is one tenth, and relaxation is nine tenths. Hold the group for three minutes, immediately relax the shoulder joints and arms, kick and hold a group, and do some massage. 3. the essentials of force. We can see the boxer's level by watching the trainees hit the sandbags. Brute force can only hit sandbags from a long distance, oscillate and penetrate sandbags, and sandbags only vibrate at high frequency instead of swinging at a long distance. This is the strength of the punch attack, which can be seen on the sandbags. 5. Strike arrangement. Do you have to hit sandbags every day? Not exactly. You can call two or three times a week. The hitting intensity can be in groups of three minutes. If it's for competition, you can play 6×3 or 9×3 rounds to exercise abundant physical endurance. Playing sandbags can be combined with air strikes and skipping rope. In a day's practice, sandbags can be arranged at the end and speed practice at the front. Playing with sandbags is an important means to improve and test your skills. Mastering the right method will make you even more powerful.
