Today I learned how to lightly work the heavy bag. Don't wear gloves!

Using bare fists this morning limited intensity and emphasized technique. You will know a poor strike when you feel it on the bag.

I find the better strikes without gloves originate from core rotation. Striking without the support of the lower half widens the margin of error for lesser punches. Mastering this might come be useful during the later rounds of a bout when shoulders are burning.
