    • This book is perfect for any one who wishes to know, and perfect, Heavy Bag techniques.
I became interested in works my Sammy Franco some time ago. I’ve read a few now to familiarize myself with the field, with those in the Arena, for knowledge and for research when it comes to action writing. I just finished “Heavy Bag Training: Boxing – Mixed Martial Arts – Self Defense” and it is the first book that has things I can really use. ALL of the books have been useful to be thus far, but more on a theoretical level. I am not a fighter, nor do I wish to be – but understanding the mindset is important for Authors and those wishing to create scenes, or for those just wanting to know more about what their friends in the MMA Arena go through mentally. This book, while still holding the high level of physical aptitude and skill, had aspects that can be approached by amateurs. I visit a gym daily, in that gym the proud punching bag sits lonesome in the back. Knowing what I know now, I am going to be donning some gloves and using that bag for a few workouts. I need to practice and possibly even see a trainer to ensure proper form, but at least now I have a head start and a firm understanding of how to use a heavy bag correctly. ... show more

    • Combos...combos... and more combos...
I'm really only a hobbyist when it comes to striking. and for that reason I bought this book. I found this book to be a great help for me as a beginner in the striking game. Plus, I only have an interest in just keeping in shape and simply blowing off a little steam are work ,now and then. My blood pressure has dropped dramatically from only 1 heavy bag training session per week. A lot of what Sammy talks about in this book is EXTREMELY important. If your knew to heavy bag workouts you need this book. Please buy it because you don't want to break your hands. ... show more

It's a good book, but if you are looking just for boxing, like me, then it's better to skip this book...it's useful for major combat sports, but, I'm so deep involved in boxing, that are some few things useful for me...

    • Exactly what I was looking for
I have been doing a lot of self-defense training in the past year and have really enjoyed author Sammy Franco's other books as they have taught me so much. It was suggested to me that I look into doing some heavy bag training and I have the space at home so I grabbed this guide. Franco's "Heavy Bag Training" has given me everything I need to get started and I am loving it. From advice to selecting a heavy bag, getting it set up, creating a proper work out, staying safe, wrapping your hands correctly, and all the great combinations, I couldn't have asked for a better guide. ... show more

    • SOMETIMES OLE SCHOOL IS NOT THE BEST SCHOOL
I hit a heavy bag for 20 years and I always tried to KILL THE BAG . I would hit it as hard as I could and as long as I could and I got in good shape but I hurt myself by working out like a FOOL . From 1975 to 1995 I don’t remember to many books or videos on how to hit a heavy bag. Mr Franco teaches the correct way to hit a bag . I just bought me a bag for the first time in 25 years it feels so good to be able to start working out on the bag again and not try and KILL THE BAG . I m almost 70 years old and I m a little wiser. I learned I CANNOT KILL THE BAG !!! Thank you Mr Franco for teaching the right way to work out and also to practice self defense. ... show more

    • Good book for basics
This is s good book to explain the basics but that's where it stops. The author also frequently references the reader to other products which need to be purchased from the author, which limit the benefits of this book.

    • A very good resource for Heavy Bag Training.
It's been years since I hit the bag and when I had before, I didn't have any formal training or guidance, I just was hitting the bag. This book does a good job of breaking down how and why. I especially thought the training workouts were a big help. Like most of us, I tend to dive right back into a program without remembering that I'm not 23 anymore. The workout reminds me to gradually get back into the program. All in all, this a really good resource. ... show more

    • Great book for someone starting out
Great book for someone starting out. It has a lot of useful information and takes the guess work out of getting a productive workout. Whether you're looking to jump in the ring or are just using it for conditioning, I would recommend this book to get the most out of your heavy bag work.
