I've seen a lot of publicity pics that feature the star of what ever movie that studio was plugging working out on a striking or heavy bag. It seemed to be the popular thing to do and not just the men either.....
FYI, I am not easily starstruck, but am happy anytime I learn of someone famous who bags or did bag. I read that frickin' Mr Rogers bagged, isn't that a cool thought neighbor? Bag on!
Wow, where'd you find that Zaza?

That pic comes from a scan of the cover of a Book called Boxing Skills. Of course the author, Roy Schroeder, was the man who taught me the speed bag and my work is based on his teaching and this book. He was finishing up on this book when I met him, and spent many hours at his side under the board. In this book, His chapter on 32 speed bag striking skills was "my bible" before I took pen in hand....

"..Givin' drink to poor damned souls,
An' I'll get a swig in hell from Gunga Din!
Yes, Din! Din! Din!
You Lazarushian-leather Gunga Din!
Though I've belted you and flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!"
Still one of Best Movies ever made. A great story and IMO There is no better ode to the common man. I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't picked it for a more modern remake. They have robbed from it for other films.
it looks like the drum roy is hitting on is clear plexiglass ? love those old pics (black & white)...ralph
Correct, it was his hand made punching stand with a clear plexiglass board. In all of his books he would add hand drawings of his movements. He often drew these in pairs, from the side and from above. For his Boxing Book, he filmed his punching from above and sides of the board and would get film frames developed into pictures to use as "models" to draw his own pictures. Everyone of his 31 speed bag striking skills has two sets of hand drawn pictures in the book, from above and the side. (see below).
I did see some of the picture stills developed from those films in his office on Memphis State University but I never saw the movies they came from. I would have loved to see his punching films. In the book he also has instructions to make this free standing frame.
He wrote and published many books from 1972 to 1994 or so. I have about 10 of them, but there are several I can't find online.
