I'm curious if anyone has heard of this. The first speed bag technique I learned, back in 1971, is what I call the "criss-cross". I don't remember that it even had a name back then. I learned it from a friend whose dad had been a Golden Gloves boxer, probably back in the 1940s. So, unlike the techniques I see nowadays, which are either front-back or side-side, this pattern goes diagonally. That is, right front "corner" to left rear "corner", left front "corner" to right rear "corner" (if you picture the platform being a square). So the pattern was:
- right front punch
- right side punch
- left front punch
- left side punch
The bag path forms an X shape.
I'm guessing this technique was abandoned at some point since the diagonal bag path is hard to incorporate into routines. Any feedback appreciated. Thx!
