Joe Rogan's Taekwondo school emphasized heavy bag training to develop power.

And they emphasized a lot of heavy bag training, which a lot of schools didn't even have a heavy bag, which I thought was crazy. Like we would go and do these things where we'd have our team would go and train with another team. Like we would travel to New York and there was like another, an instructor that was friends with our instructor and they would bring the competition teams to compete against each other. And we'd fight in a gym. So it was like these unsanctioned fights that you would have. And you'd find people that were roughly your weight. And these guys didn't have heavy bags. And you'd go to their gym. They have like a strip mall type gym. And there was in their Dojang, they didn't have a heavy bag. I was like, this is crazy. You guys don't train with heavy bags? And it didn't make any sense to me. They had kicking paddles and a bunch of different things, but they didn't have anything that would improve thrusting techniques and stabbing techniques, which is like you need resistance. You need a heavy bag. And so our instructor was adamant about like, if you can't hurt somebody badly with one kick, you're doing the wrong thing.
