You can purchase an inexpensive punching bag at your local sporting good store. If you've never seen one they are supported by floor stands or more commonly hung from a frame that attaches to your ceiling.Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:22:29 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=2741&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20developing%20a%20heavy%20bag%20workout&view=2128http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=2741&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20developing%20a%20heavy%20bag%20workout&view=2128Before we start our list, I wanted to take some time to comment on 2 fighters that may have strong support in certain communities for being among the best ever, but truly do not have a place on the list.Wed, 29 Oct 2008 12:54:44 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=2651&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20legends&view=1976http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=2651&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20legends&view=1976What does it take to be successful in sports? I have talked a lot about motivation, confidence, and focus and desire. All of these are important, but what about luck? Do you ever wonder why athletes wear the same 'lucky shirt' in competition such as Tiger Woods wearing his traditional red shirt on Sunday or athletes who eat the exact same meal for good luck prior to competition? Some teams even go as far as not washing their jerseys until they lose a game.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 19:30:30 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=1193&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20psychology&view=1818http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=1193&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20psychology&view=1818Many studies have researched athlete's experiences in The Zone. Regardless of their sport they have found many similarities in the words they use to describe their experience. Can we use their findings to give us some idea of how we can open the door a little wider to enter into it?Thu, 23 Oct 2008 12:32:25 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=2068&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20finding%20the%20zone&view=931http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=2068&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20finding%20the%20zone&view=931Sugar Ray Leonard is remembered in the sporting world as one of, if not the most; flashy, exciting and elegant fighters the sport of boxing has seen.Sun, 19 Oct 2008 18:23:51 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=1941&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20boxing%20legends&view=687http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=1941&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20boxing%20legends&view=687It isn't always possible to have another person available for sparring whenever you are ready to work out. That is one of the reason sparring bags are necessary. But sometimes, even if another person is available, training can be better done on the bag.Sun, 19 Oct 2008 12:04:47 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=1854&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20sparring%20partner%20punching%20bag&view=512http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=1854&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20sparring%20partner%20punching%20bag&view=512If you are considering collecting boxing autographs, you may find that one of the best ways to start is by requesting free autographs from your favorite athlete. Most athletes prefer to receive fan mail in care of their agent, promoter or venue. If you are sending an autograph request, send a handwritten letter and send a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) with enough postage to cover your item's return trip. Always be pleasant in your request and thank your favorite boxing personality for his/her time.Sat, 18 Oct 2008 22:22:13 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=1821&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20collecting%20boxing%20autographs&view=456http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=1821&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20collecting%20boxing%20autographs&view=456Everyone seems to be concerned with their health these days. And with good reason, since the advent of processed foods and the degree of pollution in our cities, people's health can really be in danger. To help combat these problems, health improvement facilities like gyms and spas have popped up on every street. But since traditional exercises are not really enjoyable many people prefer activities that allow them to have fun while keeping fit.Sat, 18 Oct 2008 22:16:52 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=1819&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20boxing%20fitness&view=453http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=38&c=1819&sn=%20boxing&cn=%20boxing%20fitness&view=453
