For your age and body weight, I think a 70 or 80lb bag would you suit you fine. That being the case, this set should do well.

As for hand and leg weights, I'll point you to Karate Depot's wearable weights section - http://www.karatedepot.com/wearable-weights.html.

If you need free weights for lifting, you might have to go to a nearby sports store for that one!

These gloves are a one size fits all style (if you have smaller hands you can use handwraps to fill the space).

Most adults of average hand size find these gloves comfortable.

Yea I think this would be a great choice for you. The gloves are good quality and will protect your hands. If you do buy a heavy bag, try going on google and youtube and search for workout methods where you actually take the bag off the hook and use it to build core strength and burst power.

I think it will help with your football training too!

I can't say for certain hurdlegirl because I don't know his weight/hieght/experience level, but I can tell you that this kit is a very good catch all.

80lbs provides solid resistance while still swinging around and keeping the puncher's wrists/hands relatively safe. The gloves and handwraps included are of good quality.

I'd say this is a good way to go.

Bag as gift

I would like to buy a bag for my boyfriend. He has years of experience using punching bags so I want to be sure to get him a good one but as a surprise. He is 5'11", 175 lbs. Would like to be able to hang it form the garage joists or us a bag stand. What do you recommend?

Hey Evelyn. For your boyfriend's dimensions I would recommend a 70 or 80lb bag. Keeping his experience in mind, he would probably get this bag swinging pretty good, so consider if you have space for that. If you don't, you can get a heavier bag (80-90lb) and reduce the swinging.

This bag would be able to hang from a stand right away as it comes with the chain assembly, but to hang it from the garage ceiling you'll need a mount in place. It sounds like you have one already, but just make sure. Ceiling mounts tend to look like this: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html.

This bag would be tough for you for awhile. You'd probably hit it and not have it swing too much. That being said, as you get older it will be more and more appropriate for you. We do have a bag that is a bit lighter over here: bx-hv-162.

Hi kk. I agree, I think this bag would be a great addition to your workout routine.

The toughest thing about starting a heavy bag routine is sticking with it, because even with the gloves on, your hands and wrists might get sore for awhile.

If you can establish a training routine of 15-20 mins on the bag, 2 times a week, and stay at it for 2-3 months, you'll find it easier and easier to make it a sustainable part of your life.

I live near the border so the kit will ship inside the US and will pass it through customs myself. In addition to taxes, there is a fee if the material is manufactured outside Canada/USA/Mexico.

What is written on the kit? Made in _____

Maybe someone who bought the kit can answer this?

Thank you.

I'm a 16 year old girl, 5'2, and 107 pounds. I would really like to do boxing to control my anger. I don't have much muscle mass, but i would like a punching bad that i can use for years regardless if i get more muscle. I'd really like a kit. Gloves, bag, and stand included. I also don't have a very wide price range, that's why i took an interest in this particular offer. Should i purchase this?

This would be a great kit for you. The gloves are very protective for beginners and there is enough bag weight to accommodate you if you increase your skill level.

The only thing missing here is a stand. you'll either have to get a mount to attach the bag to your ceiling (like this: bx-ac-36), or a freestanding stand (like this: bx-hv-841).

Hey Parker. I recommend this set instead: bx-hv-835. The bag is a little heavier (80lbs) which is a bit better suited to your height and weight. Also you get the jump rope with that one so you can add a little cardio and weight loss into your exercise regiment. An all around win for your situation I think!

Hi Christine. I think the bag in this kit would be more weight appropriate: bx-hv-837. The gloves in the kit you selected on this page are a bit better though, so you can weight the options.

I would recommend taking a class or two so you learn proper technique, enough so that you don't sprain your wrists or otherwise injure yourself.

Hey Panda. For you, a 60-70lb bag would be just fine. It would provide resistance without being immovable. Your husband might need 80-90lbs.

70-80lbs would be your compromise zone.

As for gloves, you should get a regular size while your husband should get a large size.

The chain is included with both, but you will need a mount to attach it to your ceiling if you do not already have a heavy bag stand.

Hi, I'm about 6'1" 225-235 pounds 14 years old and I was wondering if this set would fit me. I have some experience with my friends boxing. We usually box about 3 times a week after school but I've only boxed with them a couple times. I also play football and I'm a lineman so I'd like to get my footwork and handwork faster do I figured getting into boxing would help. Thanks

The bag does not come with a wooden beam type of attachment. You would need to get one separate, like the one you linked to.

I don't have the full length number on hand, but you can adjust the chain assembly for height by using different links.

brief review

The heavybag is great but the gloves are a bit tight (probably cus still new) and also it said 180handwraps in the description and i recieved 108handwraps... I dont know if there was a problem or something but the handwraps are too short...which is pretty misleading. Is there a way i can get an exchange for the correct handwraps stated?

Hi Bee. If I were to assume he has little (or no) boxing experience I would recommend a 70 or 80lb bag. If he does have experience, you could go up to 90 or 100.

If he is a boxing fan, a regular size bag (like the one on this page) would be fine. If he wants to kick as well you might consider a muay thai striking bag, which is longer: bx-hv-41.

Canvas or polycanvas exterior is cheaper than traditional leather, so if you are on a budget you could go that way. Leather is easier on bare knuckles though, so assess if he intends to use gloves.

Hi Wanski. I think your caution is a good thing. Unfortunately there are a lot of websites out there that don't mind being underhanded about their methods.

Since I work for Boxing Depot I wouldn't ask you to take my word alone that we are trustworthy. Instead check out the right side of the website - you'll notice two blocks right below where it says 'returns made easy'. They are Thawte security and Bizrate. These are external review and security websites that ensure the quality and reliability of the shopping experience.

There's definitely nothing wrong with this weight for you, especially since your still in the beginning stages of learning how to use one.

Ultimately you will probably want something in the 80-90 range, so consider if you are willing to buy another bag a year or two down the line.

Hey Reno. As you proceed in your training and get more experience this bag may end up being too light for you. However, at the beginning it's going to be very good.

Therefore I'd say either go for this deal, or locate a bag in the 80-90lb weight range.

This would be a great starting kit for you Chris. Make sure you have a steady place to hang it, and consider getting a mount as well, like this one - bx-ac-36

appropriate for a chid?

hi- my 9 year old (60 lb) son is very much into mixed martial arts and ninja weapons training. He takes training classes and is pretty good- perhaps intermediate...? He's DYING for a punching bag. We also live in a rental apartment so he'd need a bag w/ a stand. Would this size bag be appropriate for him and could you recommend a stand to purchase?

Hi Mom. I think you have two good options here. First, you could go with the bag kit on this page, and in addition you could get this independent bag stand - bx-hv-841.

The second option would be to get a freestanding bag like this one - tr-bg-770.

Either way I think your son will be in good shape.

Hanging the bag

Hi. I am 5'6" and 130 lbs. I just wanted to make sure this bag was the right weight for me.

also, I have never hung a bag before, is everything included in this kit to hang the bag (aside from the drill and stud finder I probably need to find a beam in the ceiling) ? (are the chains and hooks all there, or do I have to buy those seperate)?

Should I buy the spring coil to reduce the noise and impact of hitting the bag?

thanks :)

Hi Sarah. Yes this bag size and weight would work fine for you. The bag comes with a chain attachment, but you'll probably need a mount for your ceiling like this one: bx-ac-24.

The spring coil isn't necessary, but if you are worried about disturbing someone else you could go for it.

Hey Bob. If I were to recommend a bag for you I would go with 80-90lbs. That being said, there is no problem with 70, it might just swing more so make sure you have some space for it.

Hey Lou. Considering your body weight and experience, I think this bag would work perfectly for you. You wouldn't want anything too much lighter or heavier because the resistance would either be unchallenging or too hard on your hands and discouraging.

what weight?

Hi, I'm about 165 pounds and have been bag training for a while now. I was using a 70 pound bag, but it was swaying way too much. I've been putting on weight recently and want to move up to a heavier bag. I'm thinking 100 pounds, is that too much or too little?

Bag Weight?

I want to get a heavy bag, gloves and wrap for my boyfriend for xmas and want to spend around 100$ so this set looks great, I'm just worried it won't be heavy enough but don't want anything too heavy for me to use either...He's 6'6" and thin, I'm 5'6 and about 170...he has minimal boxing experience but is in great shape, I've never thrown a punch in my life and rarely see the inside of a gym. Any recommendations?

Hi Golden Gal. I think this particular bag would be perfect for you, although as you feared it might be a bit light for your boyfriend. It's still completely functional for him of course, but it will swing around more and provide less solid resistance.

I would recommend at least 100lbs for the bag. Also you'll need to decide how much you want to spend. Genuine leather bags are great but a bit more expensive than canvas.

Here are two options that might fit your needs: bx-hv-368 or bx-hv-720.

You might also need a swivel to attach it to your wood/metal ceiling beam: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html

And don't forget a decent pair of gloves for protection: bx-gl-85

Hope this helps!

Hey Gator. I think somewhere around 80lbs would be a good choice for you as it will give you stability to lay into, but not TOO much so that it feels like a brick wall.

I would also recommend grabbing a pair of bag gloves: bx-bg-100 as you'll want to protect your hands and wrists as you punch away.

Also be sure to consider where you are going to hang the bag. Do you have sturdy wooden ceiling beams, or perhaps a metal beam like in a basement? The bag comes with a hanging chain, but you may need a beam attachment as well: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any follow up questions.

80 pound or 100 pound?

I've had some boxing/fighting experience and currently taking a class involving some bag work. I weigh 180 and 5 ft 10. Would I regret buying this 80 pound bag? This price is hard to pass up, and I don't know if I would rather pay more for a 100 pound bag.

I'm not good at titles....

I just have a few questions, but I feel stupid for asking.
I'm wondering if this is a good bag for me. I'm inexperienced, five foot four, and 153 lbs, oh and I'm 12!!!!
Also can I kick this without shinpads/foot protection?
Can I hang it from a tree? I know It'll take some wear and tear if it's outside but that's okay!!!

No need to feel stupid Nat, we are here to help.

Yes, this set would work fine for you. 80lbs should be heavy, but not TOO heavy. You can safely kick this bag without shin and foot protection, just be mindful of not doing too much too soon. You're liable to get sore if you do.

You could definitely wrap the chain around a tree limb, but make sure it is a sturdy limb and that the bag won't slide off after taking some hits. Like you said, any bag outside will take more abuse from mother nature than indoor bags, but it is up to you if that is ok.

You'd be totally fine with this bag Bob. The stand can handle it, and even if it shifts around a little it has pegs on the bottom on which you can place free weights, further steadying the stand.

How Heavy a Bag does one need?

I'm 5'11" -- 200lbs. and looking to buy a Punching bag. But, how heavy a bag do I need? Is there a rule of thumb for this? Do I get something that is Half my weight, a little over, or a little under that?

Thanks.

Hi Jaime. Generally speaking the two things to consider are body weight and experience in boxing. If you're just getting started you'll want a heavy bag that's a little bit lighter and more forgiving on your hands. That being the case, 80lbs might be a pretty good choice.

If you feel like your punching experience is pretty good you could go up to 100lb.

A few questions.

I'm really new to punching bags, after getting bored with a few other methods of exercise, I thought maybe a punching bag would be more up my alley in terms of getting in shape.

Came across this and was quite pleased. Low price, comes with a bag and gloves, everything to get started without me having to get too confused, and doesn't have that ridiculous shipping price most bags do...

First off, what would be the viability for hanging a punching bag outdoors? I fear that the ceilings in this old house are too untrustworthy to hang 80 pounds from, and I have plenty of viable trees outside. Anyone ever try this?

Additionally, does anyone ever kick these things/is it a good idea to? As I said, I'm looking to get into shape and I think a few hours of beating the snot out of a heavy bag every day will do the trick. If I can get some leg exercise in there too, that'd be good.

Lastly, is this bag filled? The shipping price is... astonishingly low for 80 pounds of product.

I guess I feel a little silly asking some of these questions since my primary use for this is to exercise rather than learn boxing, but hopefully someone can answer. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for taking the time to ask these questions. No reason to feel silly, our job is to help you learn about these sort of things and enjoy your training.

1. Outdoors - yes, hanging your bag outdoors is an option. This bag is polycanvas which means it will hold up to inclement weather better than leather or plain canvas. That being said, it would be good if you could cover it when not in use. Outdoor bags always take more punishment than indoors, so anything you can do to keep the elements off of it will prolong it's life.

2. Yes, you can kick away on these. Kicking is an important part of my personal regiment and I can tell you heavy bags can handle it.

3. Yes, the bag comes filled. Our current shipping deal is applicable to all orders, so tell your friends! :-)

great for the price

gloves, wraps, and an 80# bag for under $100? with free shipping? can't beat it. the product has held up to quite the beating so far. the only problem with it is that 80#s isn't heavy enough for me, but it is great for my wife. even at 80#s, though, it's not bad and i can still get quite the workout from it.

Hey Dan. You can hang this from a regular ceiling, but you want to make sure that ceiling is made with sturdy studs. The bag will rattle around a bit as you hit it, so you want solid construction. Also be aware that any conjoined rooms to where you set it up may be able to hear the rattling.

Gloves for larger hands

I'm 6'9" and weigh 375lbs, and my hands measure to about 8 1/2" and I cannot find any bag gloves anywhere for my future heavy bag purchase. Plus, is it nescessary to have a partner with you to hold the bag. I plan on getting a 150lb bag, as I am a rather large man and can hit pretty damn hard. how much room around the bag do you need. I am building a exercise room additon on our home and i was wanting to put it in the corner somewhere. Any and all advice is welcome. Thank you

Hi William. In regards to gloves, perhaps an open finger style might accommodate your hand size better. These gloves here: bx-gl-220 come in a large size and are open for people with large hands.

It won't be necessary for you to have a partner holding the bag for you, especially if you go with the 150lb model. It will swing and sway, but that will just give you a chance to work on your footwork and timing.

You'll probably want a few feet of space around it, otherwise at it sways it might bump into the walls.

Punching Bags Expert FAQs
     
  1. What weight heavy bag should I get?

    70lb-90lb bags are the most commonly purchased bags and are appropriate for adults in the 140-170lb weight range. These bags often provide the right blend of resistance and give.
    For individuals who are 170+lbs or who have developed significantly increased punching power, you may want to shop for 100+lb bags.
    Lighter bags in the 25lb-60lb range are great for children or smaller adults who are just starting out in their training regiment.
    When deciding what weight to get, keep in mind that getting a bag that is a bit lighter will increase the sway and motion during your training. This can be beneficial if you are looking to improve your footwork and reactions. Heavier bags have a tendency to stay in place and are better for developing penetration power.

    2.  
  2. How do I hang up my heavy bag?

    You will have two main options for hanging up your heavy bag - installing it into your ceiling or purchasing a mobile stand.
    Many people who have garages or finished basements choose to install the bag directly into a support beam in their ceiling. To do this they either purchase a simple holder or attachment which can be securely fastened to the beam. This method is inexpensive, but it can also be troublesome due to the noise heavy bag training makes. If the beam the bag is attached to connects with the rest of the house, it might cause vibration and noise when struck.

    The second option is purchasing a free stand. These steel constructed units can either be purposed solely for heavy bags, or involve multiple stations for different kinds of bags. It is recommended that users weight the bottom of the device to minimize shifting as the bag is struck and swung.

    3.  
  3. What kind of hand protection should I use?

    It's important to use proper hand protection during training routines, especially if you are just starting out on the heavy bag. A combination of handwrap + bag glove is your best bet.
    Handwrap is an an inexpensive cloth roll that is used to protect the knuckles and skin from abrasion while securing the wrist for repeated impact. Bag gloves are designed with extra padding and firm support in order to disperse the impact of strikes and reduce the strain on your joints. Different bag gloves have different thicknesses, and the sturdier the heavy bag the more padding you might want in your gloves.

    4.  
  4. What kind of bag exterior is best?

    The main exterior types are vinyl, nylon, canvas, and leather. Other options include synthetic leather, polycanvas, and Everlast's Nevatear.
    Professional gyms and locations that use heavy bags frequently choose leather bags for their superior durability and feel. Leather bags are more expensive and require that you rub moisturizer into them occasionally to prevent cracking. Vinyl, nylon, and canvas bags are less expensive and don't require maintenance, making them popular choices for at-home use. Canvas bags are durable but very abrasive against bare knuckles.
