Free Standing Punching Bags

Purchase Wavemasters at our online store

But, what happens if you want a bag for your home or apartment?

I of course did want one in the garage and now the bag has to rest on top of my car as I pull in the garage!

In the past, if this way not an acceptable strategy, you were pretty much out of luck. Then, along came the notion of a free standing punching bag.

How does a free standing punching bag work?

Basically, it is a traditional heavy bag that is affixed on top of a solid base. The base itself is quite reliable and not prone to being knocked over.

Two Types of Free Standing Punching Bags

There are two types of these bags. The first mimics a boxing bag and the other is a replica of a full length Muay Thai banana bag. Other than the removal of the need for a hanging mount, these free standing punching bags are identical to traditional bags.

And here is the bottom line that most people want to know: these bags are just as effective as hanging bags. You can hit them as hard as possible and perform the same kickboxing, boxing, or MMA workouts that you could perform on a hanging bag.

The base of these free standing punching bags are quite reliable and will not tip over. These bags have been properly designed to handle the stress of a professional or amateur workout without suffering any limitations. So, you can rest assured that these bags are reliable.

Convenient

Additionally, when you are not using them, you can move them into a corner or closet and out of the way. When you need them again, you can bring them out. This is a huge plus even those that can use a hanging bag will appreciate. After all, who would not like the added convenience of a bag that can be conveniently put in and out of storage and that also serves as a clothes rack.

With a hanging bag, this may not always be possible since you may have limitations where you can hang it. If you have to hang it in a corner of a room then the ability to move around it in a 360 degree fashion will be rendered impossible.

With a free standing bag, you will not have to deal with such an issue. Again, you can put it anywhere you wish and then move it into storage afterwards if needed.

While there are a number of free standing punching bags on the market, some are clearly better than others. That is why it is best to stick with the top names in the industry since they are known to deliver the most reliable service.

So the moment of truth. Now I'll fill you in on my top bag picks.

THE BEST FREE STANDING PUNCHING BAGS

You could say Wavemaster started it all as it was the first free standing bag that was released in retail stores. The "half" bag is decent although it is not the best in terms of providing solid resistance. The full length banana bag, however, is truly tremendous and can take quite a pounding.

There is a vey popular kid bag. The height is great for little guys. Once your child reaches about 8 or 9 though, your going to want a heavier bag.

Century has a cardio bag, which you do not want unless you just do cardio kickboxing or cardio workouts. You can't really go wrong purchasing Century products.





BOB:

When you want durable, you want Revgear! Revgear's bags are quite expensive.

However, the bags it produces are absolutely tough and durable and can provide a tremendous workout even on the pro level.

As such, Revgear's bags get the highest recommendation. You can also get a donut to go on this bag for upper cut practice.

Everlast:

Everlast has been producing excellent boxing and kickboxing equipment for decades. The MMA equipment produced by Everlast is equally impressive. The company has never produced a bad punching bag and its free standing bags are extremely impressive.

UFC:
Now, would the UFC put its name and stamp on a punching bag that was not top of the line? This is another solid brand that delivers on all quality expectations. UFC has tremendous heavy bags.

They also have a free standing bag that is sold at Kmart. It is unique and does not have a base like these other bags, but it is worth checking out for those on a budget.

Yes, there are scores of excellent free standing punching bags out there. Adding one to your MMA collection is highly recommended!

WING CHUN DUMMY

These days, you can purchase a dummy online with a few simple clicks. However, many people have a false notion of what the dummy is for.

Most will state that a Wing Chun dummy is designed exclusively to develop trapping, aka locks. While locking (the legs and neck) is a part of Wing Chun, trapping is just one step.

So, what would be the use of training on a Wing Chun dummy? Would it benefit those in MMA? Find out at Wing Chun Dummy.
