Eye of the Tiger Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I'm going to buy a punch bag and I don't know what the best brand is and whats is good quality and what isn't. I have no idea on what to look for in a punce bag, oh and remember I'm from England so preferably a website or item that delivers to England or I could purchus in england. I'm also looking for a paddle that you can attach to a wall.

G95champ Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 We use the Everlast bags. I have used the water filled bags (wavemaster) but we have busted them. We also had some of the free standing bags as well but we busted them as well. The Everlast bags are of good quality and are very popular so they should not be hard to find. (General George S.

Eye of the Tiger Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 Preferably last longing punch bags that will last time but are not overpriced say well under £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 This is a little off topic, but where can I find Martial Arts Illustrated Mag? Ok, back to bags. I like B.O.B. If you fill the base with sand (not water), it makes for a great workout. I kick the crap outta it, and it's holding up. So far so good.

Eye of the Tiger Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 Can you punch a leather punch bag with bare fists or will that damage it? THX in return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckdstudent Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 If its a well made leather punch bag you can hit it with pretty much whatever you want, with the possible exception of sharp blades. ---------Pil SungJimmy B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 you can punch a leather bag with bare fists and now it will not get damaged, but its likely that your wrists will be if they are not toughnened enough, you must always wear wristbands regardless of using punching gloves or not, they are essential to keeping your wrist erect and to reduce the risk of damaging it i have a cloth compressed punching bag, i bought it about 16months ago and it still going strong Karatekid, with you living in the us, it wont be possible to obtain a british based magazine, but surely the usa must have decent martial art magazines??
