Stable play: in pairs. One person holds the sandbag steady, and the other practices striking to avoid inaccurate rotation and distance. Sandbag holders can also help correct mistakes in punching postures and punching routes. The person holding the sandbag should be able to see the action of hitting people. The power of the striker is small, and it can be supported like the left picture in Figure 114; The striking force is greater, and it can be supported like the right picture in Figure 114.
