It has been asked in another thread about the Gordon Sisters. During the last part of the 19th Century and the first decade of the 20th, the Gordon Sisters were a well known vaudeville act. Their act consisted of a staged boxing match, and also featured "fancy bag punching" Thomas Edison capatured a piece of their stage act. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPG0na-Aemk
Sadly, the bag punching part of it wasn't filmed. Personally I don't know if it ever was. I have read copies of reviews in issues of Variety of their act. They usually more than pleased their audiences. One of the sisters, Belle, is featured in one of the bag punching instructional books of the era (maybe one of the Spaudling books, not positive at the moment).
