    MsDeville & Raul at Tacoma YMCA

    Recently, my partner, Raul and I donated a Deville speed bag platform to the brand-new YMCA facility at the University of Washington-Tacoma.

    It's a beautiful facility:
    The University of Washington Tacoma, in partnership with YMCA of Pierce & Kitsap Counties, enables students to have full, free use of the student center and any YMCA facility in Pierce & Kitsap counties. YMCA members who are not students also will have access to the University Y.




    Last Thursday, we were asked to come down to give a Training Session to the employees. Raul is a big believer in the vertical speed bag drum and loves showing its benefits, so we hauled our portable, 4-sided vertical platform to the training session. By the looks of the people in the video, I would say it was a hit. Figuratively and literally! Later, we headed up to the top floor to check out the new Deville X-15 platform.

    It was a lot of fun, and I think the fact that this "old lady" was hitting the bag with elbows, it made them realize that it must not be that hard to do!

    I told the manager of the Y that we would come again on Thursday evening for any members who are interested in learning some basic punches, along with proper stance etc.

    This was a blast! Lots of fun. This footage was taken in the first 10 minutes of the session, everybody tried it, and everybody got the bag going in a nice rhythm.

    And, this is when the addiction starts.

    Raul and Dee, makers of Deville speed bag equipment showed up at the UW-Tacoma Y to give some basic speed bag training to UW-Tacoma's YMCA employees. It was ...

    Very nice

    That is a great donation. And the UW-Tacoma students and staff are very lucky to have access to this great facility.

      That was a very nice thing you guys did for the YMCA. It was good for the Y Members, the Community, the sport of bagging, and DeVille Swivels as well. Congratulations !

            And that is why we LOVE MsDeville and Raul. Baggers to the Bone, unstoppable in their efforts to share their baggin' skills and experience with the world.

            and of course..... that wonderful swivel.

              Dee, that was very generous of you and Raul. Great way to spread the bagging word. Looks like everyone enjoyed themselves.

                  That is such a great thing you did for the YMCA and UW-Tacoma campus. The new Deville X-15 platform looks awesome in that gym. Are you giving the demonstration there this Thursday evening (02/19/15)? If so what time?

                    Yes. That's the plan. I'll be at the UW-Tacoma YMCA around 7pm on THURSDAY. Instruction is not my forte, but I have lots of enthusiasm and I can at least show people the basics.

                      You're a little too modest, you taught me well.
