Hi Everyone,

I have a question on a couple items and looking for any advice. I have been taking JKD 2 years after being out ouf active martial arts for 30 years. I am working quite a bit on footwork but am struggling with doing a better job slipping punches and being able to coordinate moving just enough out of reach and then countering. There are days sparring when I feel like my head is a magnet.

Anyway I just bought a double end bag and am starting to work with it. Are there any particular drills for the double bag that you feel would be useful? What about timing drills? Any thoughts/suggestions woud be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim Riggio

Start by just hiting the bag with a straight lead punch. Then add a double lead hand, Front hand to rear hand, Punch and slip inside or outside as the bag snaps back.
