Here’s another “Inside the UBC” episode that teaches the proper way to throw punches during a fitness
kickboxing heavy bag workout to prevent injuries. From my many years of teaching fitenss kickboxing classes, I noticed there are two common complaints and common injuries in a kickboxing class; sore elbows and sore shoulders. If you’re having challenges with your elbows after class, you’re probably doing the technique improperly. Always remember proper alignment; elbow should be behind the punch to withstand the impact. If you’re having problem with sore shoulders, this can often be from pulling the punch too far back or coming way wide with your punch. You should always be able to see your hand. In this episode, I demonstrate two simple rules that can save you a lot of pain.
