I think you should get a heavier, more secure bag and slow down and focus on throwing with good form. find the distance where you get the best leverage to throw your hardest hooks to the midsection of bag
relax your shoulders and sit down on your punches more in order to drive them through. you will be able to throw better punches if you loosen up more, in the video you look tense like you are trying to pose for the camera when you should appear to be calm, fluid and enjoying yourself
stop jumping around so much and just step in and out/side-to-side fluidly while maintaining balance

And no, what you are doing is pretty much a waste of time if all you done in 1 whole year is get to the level you shown in your video. Sorry, just being realistic. You trainer much harder at a real boxing/fight gym. Sorry, but what your doing in your video doesn't even constitute warm up at my gym. Not even close.
And thanks for all the advice and help I have gotten, I will work on what you have been telling me. I know it won't be as good when I don't have a real trainer but I will do the best I can.

lol, u don't train at a "real" boxing gym neither, do you?
I think it helps teach me quicker though because I go through different stages, at the gym near my Uni' the sessions are more technique based, at the Uni club its really just fitness but that's ok too, while at home it's just haaaard haha. I learn a lot of different coaching techniques because of it but sometimes it's quite annoying, when I was first learning I got taught properly by my home town gym. A coach showed me a good stance for what he saw my fighting style as developing into, it was slightly wider than normal and he was showing me ways to move etc. I went up to the gym near my Uni' and this guy wanted everyone to do the basic shoulder width apart stance. I made the ****** mistake of saying but that's not how my coach told me, he didn't like that haha. When you're first starting out it's kind of annoying getting different styles from different coaches, but when you get to know what you're doing and it's more about getting better at it rather than learning masses of new stuff it's not that bad.
So, yeah, I do. Kid.Last edited by JayCoe; 04-12-2009, 08:15 AM.

Obviously I would prefer to train at the home town one, it's by far the best of the three but just can't.

I said "real" boxing gym. You said that bag in the OP looks like "reasonable weight," and that its probably because of the length of the chain that it's swinging around so much. Well, I don't care how many ***ing gyms you attend, if you think a bag that flies all over from a jab from a 110 lb 15 yr old is "reasonable weight," you probably haven't seen a real heavy bag yourself. No matter what you do or say you haven proven yourself to be a joke.

God you're annoying, so ****** as well. Shortening the chain would prevent it swinging so much, you're so god damn ******. He's certainly wrong in saying it's a heavy bag, for certain, but the bag looks a reasonable weight and its size doesn't depict that it should fly around like that from the shots it's hit with.
STOP following me around biting my ankles.Last edited by JayCoe; 04-12-2009, 04:27 PM.
