Heavy Bag Training Tips for Beginners
1. Choose the Right Gear
Before you start swinging, make sure you have:
- High-quality boxing gloves (Hayabusa’s T3 or IKUSA Training Gloves provide wrist support and knuckle protection)
- Hand wraps (to secure your wrists and prevent injuries)
- Proper footwear (boxing shoes or flat-soled trainers for stability)
2. Master the Basic Stance & Footwork
- Feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent
- Lead foot forward (left foot if right-handed, right if southpaw)
- Stay on the balls of your feet for quick movement
3. Learn the 6 Essential Punches
- Jab – Quick, straight punch (lead hand)
- Cross – Power punch (rear hand)
- Lead Hook – Side punch to the head/body
- Rear Hook – Stronger version of the lead hook
- Lead Uppercut – Upward punch from below
- Rear Uppercut – Devastating power shot
4. Start with Short, Controlled Rounds
- 3-minute rounds with 1-minute rest (just like real boxing!)
- Focus on form first, power later
- Keep your hands up to protect your face

Once comfortable, try these beginner-friendly combos:
🔥 Jab-Cross-Hook (1-2-3)
