movement around the heavy bag....

[Chris Nagel]

Are you working out at home, if so what kind of set-up do you have? If you don't have much room, or if the bag is on some sort of stand, then you'd be very limited in terms of footwork.

The bag is hanging from the roof, I have lots of space to movie. The only limitatiom WRT to movement is in my mind

Just make a rule -- move left and jab, set for power and immediately move again. Sometimes work left and right, sometimes do all left then all right for a "time" (e.g., 30 second timer) or a round.

Generally concentrate moving towards your back foot AT FIRST, and the first time in each set to make sure you get at least equal time in this direction (right for a right hander) as that is usually the most difficult direction for most people -- it has to do with the way you need to 'push' with the trailing foot.

Practice you combos using the same idea: jab and move to the hook etc position.

After the first few days my coach would NEVER let us just stand and hit a bag -- always moving, only stopping for a brief combo or to change direction.
