Scrap,

Would you be able to explain the head band one a bit?

The way I felt trying it.. it helped me pull my head back, forcing me to keep it in line and forced me keep my balance and have good posture.

But I didnt completely understand the full mechanics of what's going on and how it's helping with hand speed.

As far as the elastic to hands.. I felt balance and posture again, and it forced me to keep my weight towards the back.. Furthermore the accelerated punches being thrown made me focus on my technique and pulling my hands back to the guard position immediately..

I might be missing something there too not sure.. but the headband one has me a bit perplexed.
