What is the primary use of the Heavy Bag?

[SoldierOfPeace2]

Can you gain power from consistent heavy bag work?

[Redd Foxx]

It gives you the opportunity to practice your technique with full power. You don't get that from mitts because they have little resistance. Obviously, you can't do it in sparring either. Heavy bag lets you work on full power shots.

There's a lot more to it as well. You can improve footwork by circling it. Let it sway and then work on the "pop" of getting your timing right.
