The Speed Bag Gathering
The Speed Bag “Gatherings, where enthusiasts from all over the world come together for 3 days to meet and share training information about all things speed bag, began as an idea on Speedbagforums.com back in 2008. This idea culminated in 2010, with the First Annual Gathering, held at Real Gymm, in Keyport New Jersey. This first gatherings was very successful, drawing baggers from USA, Australia and Canada. It has continued for 10 years, until the 2020 – when it, like almost everything else, was cancelled due to the Covid Pandemic. Of course, we speed baggers could not wait to get together again. We did it again in July 2022 with a huge gathering with speed baggers from all over the U.S and a special guest from Germany!
We are hopeful that the 2023 Gathering will again become an international event, with great Speed baggers from all over the World returning to join us, including Mexico, Germany, Canada, perhaps some of our UK brothers as well as an Aussie or two and there’s a good bet Sweden will be under that board also! Don’t miss out! Start planning today!
