Alan Kahn hits to Michael Jackson

Can't say I enjoy the music, BUT that isn't the point.

Alan has picked out a song with a very strong and noticeable beat. This is a great selection for someone who is looking to learn how to hit the speed bag to music.

My Next Speed Bag Mission

I think my next Speed Bag Mission will be to start working in "trapping." Trapping is where you hit the bag and compress it up against the drum, or platform.

If anyone else has any good resources for learning trapping, please let me know!

Anybody know what he's up to now?

Speed Bag Skunk with a Mohawk

Speed Bag Skunk, Zack Ruffo, is dipping into his bag of tricks, both by carving a mohawk into his manly locks and also by throwing a big thumbs up to the camera while he knocks the bag around with some sick quick linking.



Really nice coordination there!
