Punching Bag

CHOOSING THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE PUNCHING BAG:
The primary considerations for choosing a punching bag size are the fighter’s age and size. Just like in a real bout, a fighter should be matched with a bag that works well with his or her own height and weight. Punching bags come in sizes ranging from 2.5 feet to 6 feet and weights ranging from 60 pounds to 150-plus pounds, but this is not a hard and fast rule. You’ll find bags in a variety of heights, widths, and weights. Some punching bags have integrated mechanisms that allow you to adjust the weight as needed. A quick note about choosing kids’ punching bags for youth trainers. Youth punching bags weigh significantly less than standard, adult-sized bags. Because the blows will be less powerful from a youth fighter, these bags don’t require the same amount of strength or impact absorption. The focus of these bags is not on strength or power training, but on developing technique. For adults, of course, you’ll need to choose a larger and heavier bag. But which size is right for you or your clients? The general rule for sizing your adult heavy bag is that it should be approximately half your weight. For example, if you weigh 72 Kg, you should choose a 36 Kg punching bag. Heavy bags that are 4 or 5 feet long are usually sufficient for adults. As long as you have enough resistance and steadiness i.e. the bag doesn’t flail wildly in every direction each time you land a square punch then you should be in good shape, size-wise.
TYPES OF PUNCHING BAGS
There are several different punching bag styles to consider, based on the sport you’re in and your training goals. The heavy bag ideal for improving your overall technique may not be appropriate for an athlete looking to improve speed, reflex, and reaction time. A speed bag won’t be used for polishing your front kicks. The right bag for kickboxing may not be the best one for Muay Thai, and so on.
Free-Standing Punching Bag Free-standing punching bags, as the name implies, do not require any kind of fixed mounting system. While most punching bags are required to be hung from the ceiling or attached to the wall, free-standing bags are mounted on a heavy, durable base. This allows them to be placed anywhere that there is room. They are also easily re-positioned to allow a space to have multiple uses.
Typically these types of bags have a spring-loaded design so that the bag returns to the fighter when hit. This type of recoil offers a very different speed and movement than might be expected from a standard-mounted bag, delivering a different challenge to the fighter.
The free-standing bags are great for practicing the low kicks common to Muay Thai and other mixed martial arts. They are ideal for home use or gyms where ceiling or wall installation is not an option.
Heavy Bag Heavy-duty punching bags are typically suspended from the ceiling so that they can withstand a lot of impacts. In general, heavy punching bags are designed for improving overall punching and kicking technique. Your “standard” heavy bags are cylindrical, but heavy bags come in several different shapes and sizes. They weigh between 30 and 200 pounds and are typically hung with a chain, swivel, or rope. Choose this kind of bag for boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, karate, and more.
