Similar to the mechanics of a slip bag, the Maize bag is bigger which allows you to not just slip and weave under, but also hit. This means that it needs to be much heavier than a slip bag. It is closer to a heavy bag than to a slip bag in terms of materials, weight, etc. Recently Title Boxing has reimagined the classic maize bag of the 1900’s adding leather casing and better filling materials. Check out their video here. Traditionally, these bags were filled with corn (a.k.a. maize), which in Title’s new version has been replaced with plastic beads. While the slip bag weighs only a few pounds max, the maize bag typically weighs tens of pounds, so it provides a bit more resistance. Still, it’s not a bag that you are meant to train your power on. The way you would use the maize bag is to not just swing it around and slip, but also hit it with single punches and combinations, and then evade it on the back of the swinging motion.
