Good info but low/old quality video
Teaches speed bag techniques very well. It needs to be redone/remastered. This was made along time ago.

Re : Great no nonsense instruction
Began with the speed bag about a year and a half ago. After learning some basics from a few others in the gym and youtube was wondering what other instruction sources were out there. Kahn brought straightforward instruction and shows off a variety of skills. I was a beginner but as I become more advanced there are plenty of new challenges that are covered.The video was a copy from an original VHS format. It's was probably originally done 20+ years ago - the video quality isn't up to modern standards but the instruction you are getting still makes this well worth accepting.The neat thing about the speed bag is the appropriate challenges offered to all ages and fitness levels. It's great for coordination development and with a variety of skills you can slowly bring yourself to keep up the pace and keep the bag singing. Never gets boring and I'm always enthused to get better every time out and also have great fun with it. Kahn is THE speed bag instructor and thankfully does a great job. For a $50 investment (CD and book) you'll get all the knowledge to grow over time.

would never have figuerd out myself in a million years
I bought a speed bag after watching "Million Dollar Baby." It took me a few days to get the basic triplet rhythm and a few more to get bored with the bag. I stumbled on this video at the speed bag central website. After watching a few clips I decided to purchase. The instructional starts out slow but gets into technique shortly after the intro.I thought the bag was a mere training aid for boxers, but this video has shown me it is actually a full featured percussion instrument with the side effects of giving a terrific workout and improving boxing skill. The increased possibilities Alan demonstrates and breaks down will make a mundane speed bag workout much more interesting and enjoyable. My knuckles hurt...

great workout and confidence builder
I bought this VHS and book years ago and taught myself to hit the speed bag. I got real good at it. People at the gym gather around to watch me. Then I had a bad accident, the left side of my body was crushed. It has taken me years to return to the speed bag. I took out my VHS to review what I had learned and my VHS player ate my tape. I am very happy I found this tape here on DVD. I am going to order another copy. This is a very good training video. Like I said I taught myself to use the speed bag with this video and this video alone. It is a great workout and a great way to build confidence.

One of the best execises for eye hand coordination.
Too bad we can't give this a 10. This course is great. Alan Kahn is the real king of the speed bag. Not only does he preach it, he also practices it. Should read this man's story and you will be proud to own this DVD. The Speed Bag Bible should be viewed by all atheletes, regardless of discipline. Really an eye opener for the uninformed. AK invented most of the nomenclature used in the exercises, as well as the techniques, demonstrated on this DVD . A must see for all PT therapists. To Amazon.com for linking us up with him, THANX.

I learned a lot
Very in depth explanations on how to use the speed bag in more ways than they tell you in a typical boxing video.

Must have for anyone wishing to learn the speed bag!
I don't usually like to write reviews but I have to for this one. If you want to learn how to use the speed bag, this is the one you need. I been viewing it section by section and it's amazing how fast you can pick it up. The only drawback is that there is no DVD menu sections where you can go directly to the spot you left off. Even with that, I give it 5 stars. Excellent instruction.
