My gym has about 8 big bags hanging in the room where they have classes so I brought my buddy in today to show me some basics on hitting the bag. We took turns whaling on em for about a half hour. It was a good workout. Even with the bag gloves my knuckles were torn open and bruised between the fingers. Good stuff! I'm planning on getting involved with some fight training soon so I figured this would be a good place to start. I'm checking out a Muay Thai school close by.
