Vital to every martial art is training your strikes and using the Wing Chun punching bag is no different. There are lots of different types of bag and pad that you can use to train your Wing Chun punch - and to say that one is better than the other misses the point.
Together, heavy bags, wall bags, focus pads etc are all keys to the puzzle that is... hitting hard and fast with your Wing Chun punch.
This article will focus on some of the excellent training tips and secrets behind the wall bag (or sand bag) - arguably the most popular and traditional Wing Chun training bag.
Filling your wall bag
Depending on your instructor, lineage and experience you'll hear a variety of fillings. On the harder end of the spectrum are those that recommend starting with someone softer (eg. Rice, mung beans, lentils), working your way up to sand and then finishing with iron ball bearings.
Forget about it.
Crippling your hand defeats the object of training in martial arts because they are also about being healthy. Personally a combination of dried beans and old clothing is right for me. A harder alternative my instructor once used was sand (the finer the more densely your wall bag will pack and the harder it will become) however even sand can be detrimental to the health and circulation of your hands over time.
Working on conditioning
Whilst conditioning is merely a 'side benefit' and not the main goal (ie. Hitting hard is the primary reason we're training) there is a degree of conditioning that comes with all Wing Chun bag training. Keep an eye on your hands to watch out for cuts and grazes that will take forever to heal if you don't care for them.
Mix your punching up with palms and chops to the wall bag which helps lengthen arduous training sessions on the the wall bag, puts less stress on your knuckles and rounds you as a Wing Chun practitioner.
Mounting your WallBag
Many a keen student has gone out and bought a wall bag in an attempt to add Wing Chun punching bag training to their routine. Without any thought for where they'll house it.
Obviously the wall bag is mounted on a wall, which is great for saving space however the noise from impact will resonate throughout your home and potentially your neighbors home as well. Especially if you have a flat or apartment.
You've been warned.
Another option can include mounting it to a tree and I've known some crazy folk to nail your punch bag to trees. Not good for the tree. Some elasticated bungy cords are perfect however make sure to keep your wall bag dry to keep it and its fillings in good condition.
If your wall bag is filled with sand, then moisture and rain will build up within the bag making the contents cement like. Not great for your hands!
Wall Bag Sections
This type of Wing Chun punching bag comes in sections - typically one, two or three. Personal preference is always for a three sectioned wall bag so you can replicate high, middle and lower gate striking. Not only does it add skill to mixing up the heights, the variety makes training more interesting and valuable.
Wing Chun Punching Bag: The Wallbag
The Wing Chun wall bag is one of many great training aids to add power and venom to your strikes. Versatile and fun, the bag adds serious power to your punches, adds isometric strength to your strikes and is a great way to isolate your arm strikes.
Mixing up heights and different hand shapes (punches, palms, chops etc) keeps the training healthy and rewarding. And remember to take care of your hands, they are the tools of your trade and without their long term health - your Wing Chun punch will suffer and your training slow.
Discover how you can add power to your Wing Chun Punch, hit harder and faster than ever before.
Add power and venom to your strikes and learn to hit with confidence and assurance that your punches can live up to their job!
