singularity6 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Posted March 14, 2018 Singularity - have you considered a hanging bag with a bag stand?I have. I'm not sure that would work with the layout of my basement. Our ceilings are about 6 and a half feet tall where there is no plumbing, boiler pipes or electrical. I'm also nervous about drilling into the floor.Alternatively, websites like Title.com or Ringside.com have some alternative heavy bag hangers that you can use that I believe don't involve screwing in.Somehow I missed part of that...You don’t need to screw anything into the floor. I’ve never seen a bag stand that screws into the floor.Something like this (I’m not endorsing this on in particular)...https://m.dickssportinggoods.com/p/century-heavy-bag-stand-16cenucntryhvybgssac/16cenucntryhvybgssacNo screwing to anything (no pun intended). You’d need to buy a few weight plates to keep it from moving. The weights go on the pegs on the legs and the back. Or sandbags.I have looked into these. So far, I haven't found one that's short enough. Most are 7" tall, and some are taller. 5th Geup Jidokwan Tae Kwon Do/Hap Ki Do(Never officially tested in aikido, iaido or kendo)
JR 137 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I have the same issue too. I could technically get a bag stand into my basement, just not where I could have enough room to actually hit the bag. If I hung the bag from the beams, the top of the bag would be at eye level. I even went as far as making a model of a bag out of sleeping bags and hanging it to be 100% sure it wouldn’t work.I bought the BOB XL. No regrets. An Outslayer Muay Thai bag would’ve been better, but not in my house. It’s a compromise like everything else; I wanted a Porsche Cayman S, but everything dictated buying a Toyota Highlander instead. When I buy a home, one of my priorities will be a Muay Thai bag. When that happens, I’ll have that AND my BOB XL
MatsuShinshii Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 If your looking at something to affix to the floor that you can strike, why not a Makiwara? They are very easy to make, cheap and give outstanding results. Just saying... The person who succeeds is not the one who holds back, fearing failure, nor the one who never fails-but the one who moves on in spite of failure. Charles R. Swindoll

They are very easy to make, cheap and give outstanding results. Just saying...Sorry for the delayed reply. I wouldn't mind having a makiwara for some purposes. I want something I can whale on with both fist and foot to develop power. 5th Geup Jidokwan Tae Kwon Do/Hap Ki Do(Never officially tested in aikido, iaido or kendo)
