- Apply adhesive tape or paint lenses on your heavy bag, personally I have the traditional bag but with the targets drawn and the face is outgoing creating three-dimensionality to pull the precise uppercuts.
- Make the heavy bag move and swing, this is also one of the reasons if you use a Muay Thai bag why it should not touch the ground, the oscillation of the bag is important.
- Let the sack dictate the choice of your punches or try combinations, if you want on the blog you will find many posts on combinations, try them.
- Focus on the accuracy of arrival of punches only on targets, this is precision work with the bag in motion, this is very important, the bag does not have to be a motionless target.
- Repeat for 6 rounds with 60 seconds of rest in between.
