Great for Starters

I purchased this bag as a gift for my wife. She has been taking kick boxing classes for the past year and wanted a bag at home to work with. The assembly was easy and it's been great for her. The only problem is she knocks it all around the room. I think it's a great bag for beginners.

If you like mobility in your bag, being able to put it wherever you want, this bag is perfect. You'll find it comfortable for workouts. If you want something with more resistance you might consider an 80lb hanging heavy bag.

Hi L. Your best investment would be this bag: bx-hv-2030. The striking surface runs from the bottom of the stem to about 6' in height. It's very high quality and will take years of abuse.

However, if the cost is a deterrent, the bag on this page is good to. It can't take quite as much punishment, but is good for a cardio workout aid.

Junk

These are crap and a waste of money. I have had mine about two years. First thing to go was the padding inside the bag that surrounds the core. I literally punched it into pieces. The plastic stem was next. It tore from the bolts that were/are supposed to hold it in place, cracking the plastic base in the process. I tried to repair it myself by placing large washers under the bolts but I couldn't even get them out! It's going to the dump with my next load of trash.

Will this work for both my sons and myself?

I am 30 this year and a mother of 2 boys ages 5 and 6. We all are studing Tang Soo Do and would like to buy a bag for home. I am looking for something that can take the power of a kick and hit as well as be able to be used in the spare room. Will this work?

Yea this will definitely work. The adjustable height should provide ample opportunity for everyone to get the most out of their workouts.

love this product. It works for what I use it for. I only put about 100lbs of sand in the bottom and it doesn't move around much. it was easy to put together and it is relatively compact...you can push it in to the corner when your done. word of advice. Keep the sand in the sand bags so they will be easier to remove later.

I bought four of these bag from two different local sports supply places. They all broke at the stem. I called Everlast about it and I say it's going on to a year and no call or email back from them. These bag one was broken by an adult and the other three by kids under 13. Save your money and buy something else,

How sturdy is this bag?

I am a 6 ft 200 pound male and was wondering if this bag has the resistance to really take a beating or if I would need a more expensive bag for that? I have no boxing or MMA experience but can pack a punch.

Hey Bill. This bag would work for you, especially if you filled the base up to it's max. That being said, your best option would be the wavemaster xxl - tr-bg-07. Those can really take a punch or kick.

Fill

I know this is a dumb question, but do you have to take the top completely off to fill it?

Great product

It's easy to assemble, sturdy, and serves it's promise. It's great for my beginner son when he works out, and even better when he needs to work out middle school angst. I's rather he punch the bag than anything else. He's a powerhouse.

Standing Punching Bag Expert FAQs
     
  1. What kind of standing bags are there?

    Within the standing bag genre there is an excellent variety of options for you to choose from. The most common freestanding bag consists of a fillable plastic basin with an adjustable neck protruding from the top. Attached to that neck is a soft foam filled bag that feels a lot like a traditional nylon heavybag.
    A different variety of bag involves a full-body-length striking surface that is secured to the basin and is non-adjustable. Much different than those two types is the B.O.B. (body opponent bag). This device is shaped like the upper torso of a man and can be used to focus strikes on different anatomical parts of the human body. These are excellent for anyone looking to increase their accuracy and strike selection.
    The final type of freestander available is the reflex bag. This is much smaller than a heavy bag and requires much less weight to stay in place. The point of this bag is not to develop punching power, but to acquire rhythm, timing, and fluidity.

    2.  
  2. Do I need to fill the base? If so, with what?

    For most freestanding bags you will need to fill the basin yourself. Sending the base empty reduces shipping cost significantly.
    The two most common types of fill used in bag basins are plain water and sand. Water is quick, free, and can be dumped out whenever you need to pack up the bag and move it to a different location. Every basin is built to be waterproof (unless explicitly stated otherwise). Sand is a reliable alternative as you needn't worry about liquid spills or leaks even after extensive wear and tear.

    3.  
  3. Will my freestanding bag slide around?

    Freestanding bags are generally designed to resist sliding and skidding during training. However, there are some things you can do to ensure maximum stability for your bag. First, fill the basin to it's proper amount and maintain that level as time goes by. If you've chosen to fill it with water, the water might evaporate slowly which will cause the bag to slip easier. Second, place the bag on a grippy surface. Even the best of bags might slip on slick concrete. Third, if you wish, you can purchase an extra non-slip cover that fits around the basin of your bag.

    4.  
  4. Short body vs long body type bags

    When it comes to heavy bag style freestanders, there are two main styles - the short body and the long body. Short body bags are frequently adjustable and can be made to fit the height of the practitioner using it. Boxers enjoy the smaller striking surface because it provides them greater flexibility and feedback, which allows them to integrate an element of rhythm into their training, much like they might do with the swinging of a standard heavy bag.
    The long body bag is preferred by martial artists and kickboxing practitioners that want to integrate kicking into their routine. The length of the striking surface allows them to use both punches and kicks without having to constantly adjust the striking surface.
