If you have been working with Heavy Bag at a gym or somewhere else before, you must realize that it is not as easy as it seems. Knowing how to properly use a heavy bag is quite crucial. There are something you need to do before and during using the bag. Here we go!

Starting with wrapping your hands real good and put on bag training gloves, MMA gloves are also good for this purpose. When you start striking the bag, keep your wrist aligned with your forearm and punch with the top of knuckles.

The clip below shows you how to punch the bag. And I think it is pretty nice, thanks to the guy who made it.

When punching the bag, you can also do other boxing exercises at the same time. In different schools, the students might be taught differently but all the technique will work the same.

Here are the list of the things you must do while training with bag.

-          Wrap your hands real good.

-          Keep your hands guard all the time. Do not drop your hand down.

-          Treat the bag as if it is a person that can hit you back.

-          Practice some quick moves. You might create something for your own.

However, it’s not that necessary to buy yourself a heavy bag since it’s not that cheap. You can train with the bag at the gym you regularly go to. But if you insist, you can find it at any big sport store near your place or online.

The word “Krung Thep” is the Thai name for Bangkok which literally means “City of Angels”. Pretty, right? But Krung Thep right now is not so pretty as it was before. Bangkok is the biggest and the most populous city of Thailand. There are like 10 million people living in this little city. Imagine how crowded it is.  

Good thing about living in Bangkok or I believe in any big city in the world is that you have pretty much everything provided. There are always things for you to do and you will never get bored. But the better it is become comparing to the other provinces, the more and more people want to come to the city. So the only bad thing in my opinion about Krung Thep is that it is over populated with people, not angels.

If you get a chance to visit Bangkok, don’t forget to go visit our Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, the Buddhist temple located in the Grand Palace. These two places are a must to visit. But if this is not your first time anymore, Bangkok is just another big city that is full of clubs, restaurant, shopping malls, all those things that you can find anywhere in the world. However, what is so special and makes this city distinctive to the other big cities is the people. And nothing to tell you much about that, you just have to experience that yourself and you will understand.  

Bangkok could be another of your best choices to travel and enjoy your vacation!

Even when they did Kaad Cheuk or “wrapping hands with ropes”, it didn’t make the sport much less dangerous. Whorls or coils were also inserted under the rope that were wrapped on the back of the knuckles to make their fists become deadly dangerous that could easily cause seriously injured wounds. And that really makes sense because a lot of boxers back then got killed because of the nasty wounds they got from joining the sport.

Since 1923, the brutal Muay Thai Kaad Cheuk was abandoned. However, if you want to see the real Muay Thai Kaad Cheuk today, that is still possible. Every year in the north of Thailand, Muay Thai Kaad Cheuk boxers from Thailand and Burma come to this even where they did the Bound-Fist Boxing. But that’s only once a year. Another choice is to find the underground bound fist Muay fights.

Each day, there are less and less boxers interested in this type of boxing. That must be because of its consequences are not really pleasant and less money paid than fighting in famous boxing stadiums. So what’s the point of keep doing it now? The only group of people who still loves it is the one that enjoys the brutality or maybe loves original things.

Just like most of great Thai boxers, they all grew up in up-country in some far away province and had a really rough life from the beginning. Buakaw started to train Muay thai since he was only 8 years old and joined Por. Pramuk gym at the age of 15 only.

All his life is about fighting in ring. So no wonder while he has a lot of experiences and skills and became all that winners. You will be surprised when you see his record. His boxing record from 18 years of fighting is 185 wins (46 KO’s and 138 Decisions), 12 Deaws and 19 Losses only. He has fought more than 200 matches in the right already. Don’t have to talk about his experience. Even if later on he wants to end it, he can still continue by helping training new boxers with great pride.

Here are his titles:
2006 K-1 World MAX champion
2006 WMC Middleweight World champion
2005 S-1 Super-Welterweight World champion
2005 K-1 World MAX Finalist
2004 K-1 World MAX champion
