Maddwraph Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 i take BJJ, but saturdays they are offering a class of Muay Thai at my gym, and Im thinking about taking the class. I dont know too much about bag equipment, but i am hoping to get one in order to pratice some punches and kicks on. i dont really have the room for a the bags you hang up, and i saw a bag with a stand under it. are these bags good to pratice punches and kicks on?the bag im talking about looks like the bags in these liks:http://www.modells.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1968035&cp=710957.1190149.1190161&parentPage=familyhttp://bullseyefitness.com/ecommerce/os/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=60i heard hitting the bag is also good cardio and good for making jabs faster. is there anything else i need like gloves? and can i get these gloves at modells? because i searched there and i have seen many different gloves, i want one that i can get my jabs faster with,a nd condition my punches. i hope one class of muay thai for week is enough to get some skill. and is it safe for my hands and wrist?but back to the bag, you guys think its worth it for $100? the whole fill it with sand or water sounds sketchy, im hoping to get something good. ill figure the other things out like combos and stuff like that.any help would be propery appreciated please.

Enviroman Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 the wavemaster is used by many schools as a convenient training tool. others here claim they are decent. i prefer a chain-held heavy bag as they seem to offer more resistance. to me a 100lb heavy bag gives me a better workout than the wavemaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnpnshr411 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 A heavy bag is better than a wavemaster its not so good when you try to hit it hard im G A Y and i love you i W A N K over you EVERY DAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddwraph Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 dam, thing is, i only have room for wavemaster, and even then its not all that much room. i was hoping to get a good abg workout or work on some jabs. so its not worth getting?

elbows_and_knees Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 if you can afford it, they sell bag stands that go in the corner of your room and support a heavy bag. If you absolutely can't get one, firget about the wavemaster - I would get a bob bag - the free standing torso bags. by using one of these, you can train your techniques against a surface similar to one you will actually be hitting when you spar / fight.

I can't find it on their website, but I know it's in their catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddwraph Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 unfortunately, i cant get something so expensive either, not ony because of money shortage, but im not sure if i get ill really enjoy. the wavemaster seems good for partice punches and stuff, i dont think kicks will do it though, Im brasilian, but live in the united states.
