Any comments on experience with any/all of these? I like the water-filled bags like the one from Balasz, heavy sucker, difficult to move. Haven't tried a gel-covered one yet. I've gotten smirks from some pseudo ruffnecks who like to punch hard heavy bags. Then I ask: "How much of your actual striking force can you apply when hitting that ... and how many times can you hit it as forcefully as you're capable of hitting?" There's a major point. I prefer bags that yield so that I can hit/kick as hard as I please in lengthy workouts, as many times as I please ... without jarring myself unnecessarily or risking the increased probability of injuring self by pounding an unyielding target. Comments? Has anyone used one of the gel-covered heavy bags? Mitakuye Oyasin.

Also already up are new fotos in the foto gallery with many more to come, the text of many of the articles about the Dog Brothers and DBMA, etc. Come on by and check it out.

Thank you!!! > > Steve del Castillo GM Casio was the individual selected by Diony Canete to take over the San Miguel part of the Doce Pares organization, since Momoy did not designate an official heir. Tom Bisio's organization is not part of Doce Pares, but operates independently. GM Casio is under the Doce Pares umbrella. Steve - --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
