Rehabilitation & Sports Consulting The Speed Bag Bible: The Ultimate Speed Bag Training Program

I bought the book and the DVD and I am thoroughly impressed with the level of detail Alan goes to in both. Anyone who has seen a demo of Alan hitting the speed bag knows he is exceptional at this skill, but what became clear to me after reading the book and watching the DVD is that he is equally skilled at teaching novices how to master the techniques and nuances of the speed bag. I would recommend that you buy both book and DVD, as they support one another quite effectively. Watching the DVD took the mystery out of several techniques that I had been struggling with for a long time. I can honestly say that after watching the DVD once, my skill level at a couple of the more difficult techniques improved greatly. One of the best benefits of buying this training course is that you can ask Alan questions on a forum he set up specifically for speed bag enthusiasts; speedbagforum.com Alan and others will answer all of your questions and I learned a lot simply by reading the older threads that contained many of the same questions or discussed some of the same problems I was having. I think the combination of the book, DVD and the coaching you can get on the forum is superb and I commend all three to anyone who desires to become a highly skilled user of the speed bag.

Great bible, technical phrases, once understand them your on your way.

Everyone gives the book 5 stars and it's easy to see why. Khan is a terrific instructor and this book along with the DVD will give the buyer far more satisfaction than its price. I'm so happy with my experience learning the speed bag - I'd recommend it to anyone at any age. It is easy to suit the workout to your own abilities and intensity level. With this instruction it's a can't miss. This book and it's DVD is a little dated but there is not a need for much change. It covers so many techniques and exercises it will confidently start any beginner or satisfy most any advanced master. When first learning I did use youtube for some of the very basics (circle punching and wrapping the hands correctly most importantly) but to open your eyes to how much variety there is this book can't be beat. The instruction and exercises will get you to achieve your goals.

If your into speedbaging this is the book for you

If you want instruction on speed bag, this is the book for you. The guys at the gym all know one punch, maybe two at most, and for them it's all about how hard they can hit the bag, it's pretty funny to watch, actually. There's no one there who can instruct me, and in fact, after only a couple of weeks with the book I'm starting to look way better than any of the guys...at least, I have variety now with 5 punches and strikes I'm working on. Next step: my MP3 player is on its way from Amazon and I can't wait to start putting it all to music. I'm seeing how much music would help in keeping the rhythm even and the workout longer...kinda like marching cadence in the Army...those interesting chants keep the guys going further without noticing. My next purchase will be a speed bag of my own to take to the gym so I'll have a tool that's reliable and maintained by ME. Buy the book, it's worth every cent. And "used" is fine, it's gonna get bumped around anyway if you actually USE it. Oh, and did I say I'm a nearly 70 year old female?
