Which martial artist does not dream of a strong blow? Each fighter spends several hours in the gym, practicing a strong knockout jab or uppercut. The shell helps with this difficult task - a boxing wall pillow.
Types of strokes
The main ones include straight, lateral and impact from below. Each of these options is worked out both from the rack when the case moves, and with a step forward, backward or sideways.
Varieties of shells
There are several types of bags:
- Classic - suitable for practicing all strokes and combinations.
- Wall cushion - accented hooks, uppercuts, jabs.
- Dummy - is installed on the floor, resembles the figure of a person, an opponent.
- Heavy bag - for practicing serial hits.
- Uppercut shell - horizontal bag or pillow boxing wall L-shaped.
The technique of hitting hands is based on the transfer of energy of the whole body into a fist. Finish the execution to perfection by training in front of the mirror. Speed and seriality work out on classic and heavy bags. Boxing wall cushion is used to increase the impact force. The fact that the pear is stationary allows you to beat with force, staying in one place, without moving behind a moving bag.
What materials are the shells made of
For the production of bags using leather, leatherette, tarpaulin, vinyl. As a filler, rubber crumb and sand are used. In hydraulic shells, water is used as a filler, in pneumatic pears, air is used.
Wall-mounted boxing pillow consists of a metal frame that is attached to the wall, horse hair or crumb rubber is used as a filler. Tighten the shell with leather or tarpaulin. Quality and expensive bags serve for a long time. For their manufacture more often use genuine leather.
There are several models of boxing wall cushions: flat, two-level and L-shaped. The first option is more suitable for practicing direct strokes, the second model is for practicing a jab and hook, the third option - the L-shaped pillow - is used for all strokes.
The BAX boxing wall L-shaped pillow is in good demand. With its help, it is convenient to practice uppercuts and you can beat a side impact without moving away from the projectile.
This model is made of a wear-resistant leather substitute. The filler eliminates deformation during prolonged use.
For a boxing gym, a wall bag is an integral attribute. It puts a knockout punch. At home, when space is limited, and a classic bag dangling from bumps occupies an area within a radius of two meters, a boxing wall pillow would be an ideal option. On such a projectile it’s convenient to practice single shots and series, the pillow will take up little space.
When mounting a pillow against a wall, there is no need to rush. To begin with, draw its contour and try to strike from all sides. In the absence of interference with movement, and clearly understanding that the pear is installed at the desired height, drill holes in the wall and fix the shell. Fasteners can be found in any hardware store, having received advice from the seller.
Another important point - you need to make sure the reliability of the material from which the walls are made, it is better to fasten to the carrier and separating the apartment from the neighboring one, as a rule, they are the most durable.
Necessary information
When choosing a shell, attention is paid to the quality of the seam and the deformation of the filler. A few hits on the bag. If you have dents on a fist-sized surface, consider other options. After applying several series of blows, debris from the filler may appear on the floor - you should not take such a projectile.
When practicing blows on the pillow, you need to remember that the muscles must be warmed up and the joints protected from damage. Before practicing the blows, warm-up and stretching are carried out, at least 10-15 minutes. The brushes are rewound with special boxing bandages and put on shell gloves. Accented blows are applied with force, so they often injure the hand, and this, in turn, knocks out the training process.
To increase speed, use light dumbbells weighing 200-500 grams, beat a round or half round with a weighting agent, and the same amount without it.
L-shaped pillow allows you to work out knees to the head, elbow to the head from the bottom and uppercuts. For Muay Thai and mixed martial arts halls, such a projectile will help in practicing and securing equipment. With a large workload of the gym, this pillow will make it possible for two boxers to carry out tasks at once from one and the other.
