Sparring with a Plastic Bag
This is pretty funny, I’m not going to lie. Also don’t know how effective it is, but UFC bantamweight contender Ivan “Pride of El Salvador” Menjivar does it and it looks like it could be something cool to try.
I can’t imagine any serious MMA fighter doing this to do it with a straight face though. It’s like when we were kids and tried to keep a balloon from touching the ground by constantly popping it back in the air.
But hey, if it works, it works.
In the video we can see Menjivar striking a plastic bag with punches, kicks, elbows and knees. The objective is to continuously strike to keep the plastic bag floating in the air. It should be a great cardio workout with the bag constantly changing direction and difficult to manoeuvre.
