I am a total boxing newbie and have bought a [punching bag][1] (not heavy) for the children and myself. It's really fun to hit it (with boxing gloves). I'm afraid I'm not doing it right, I don't know the technique or the sport at all. Can I do any damage to our health? What are the risks?

With a web search I could only find the dangers and risks of semi-professional athletes, not those of total amateurs. We don't have an opponent either, just the standing punching bag.
