    I've had my new cobra bag for 24 hours and want to give you tips on how to get started as a beginner. I struggled for the first 10 minutes while trying to be too advanced in my approach.
    Today I show you how to slow down and start learning the timing and basics that, I believe, will be necessary to improve quickly.
    Plus my wife and I give you are initial impressions about how useful and fun the new tool is.

    Who's interested in grabbing a cobra bag after watching this episode?
    What's your take on them?
    Worth while or not?

    I bought a fierce reflex cobra bag and have noticed my striking improved. I'm landing more shots and my timing is getting sharper. I'm more elusive and getting hit less in sparring. Definitely recommend it for any combat athlete

  • @swampgoat6343
    @swampgoat6343 Před 2 lety +6

    If you hook, let the ball bounce right to left and catch it with a straight while it comes from the left to right it should pull right into your glove. Generally when the bag is going sideways, its easier to hit if its coming from the opposite side toward your hand.

    I’ve had mine for about 2 years now. It’s definitely done wonders for my accuracy and timing. The bag moving funny if you hit it incorrectly was a surprising and unexpected benefit that I’m glad you mentioned.

    • @edwhlam
      @edwhlam Před 2 lety

      How would you compare with a double ended bag? If you can have only one, which one would you buy?

    • @CoASoFi
      @CoASoFi Před 2 lety +1

      @@edwhlam The experience can vary depending on the cobra/reflex bag. I’ve used ones like in the video that are a pretty hard bag that recoil pretty fast. I’ve also used ones that are air filled bags that don’t hurt when they hit you bag. I’ve used ones that have multiple joints that recoil much more slowly but can behave very wildly.
      The one I personally own is like the one in the video that can hurt you and snaps back quickly. I enjoy hitting the cobra bag more than a double end bag as it is more satisfying to hit. The way it swings back is very good for slips and pull counters. If I had to pick just one it would be the cobra bag. Double end bags are of a great benefit too though and are much more quiet. If you live in a 2nd floor apartment and hit a cobra bag with hard shots it will definitely make a lot of noise. I have 100lbs weighing mine down and it can still lift up and smack the ground. Luckily I have mine set up in a basement so I don’t have to worry.

    It good that you are teaching the importance of technique. Too many want to speed their drill before they are ready or mastered the basic. In doing so they muscle memorise bad technique.

    The hayabusa cobra bag is too slow the spring is too thick if you look at canelo and ryan Garcias videos there cobra bags have alot more speed. I'm not sure if you're paid by hayabusa to advertise their bag but it's not that great for their cobra bag. There quality is good and everything but they missed out on the whole point is timming and speed and the speed isn't there
