Related Technique
Double-End Bag

A small bag suspended by elastic cords from floor to ceiling that bounces unpredictably after being struck. The double-end bag develops timing, accuracy, reflexes, and the crucial skill of hitting a moving target that fights back. Unlike the heavy bag which stays in place, the double-end bag mimics a live opponent's head movement and teaches you to time punches against erratic motion.
