 Good value starter boxing set March 15, 2006
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
This boxing set is a good value compared to if I would have bought each item separately. However, you only really need the boxing bag, gloves and that spinning thing to attach it to the ceiling. That other piece of equipment that you mount on the wall is very large and was not really that useful to us. Maybe it would be to someone else, but you can just use that spinning thing and mount it to a beam and use the boxing bag that way. That other mounting wall bracket is heavy and takes up too much room. But I bought this whole set anyway because it was cheaper to buy all this together than to buy it separately.. and it's good exercise!
It looked like a good deal. July 27, 2005

After 1 week of learning on this bag. It was way too slow even inflated as much as i dare. I replaced the bag and had no problems with the higher quality bag but, after two days the swivel broke. I would recomend buy a high quality bag and swivel or set if you plan on using it for anything more than decoration.

This item is such a great value. Everything included is a basic necessity. For anyone interested in getting into boxing, I suggest this set as your first purchase

This set includes the speed bag and mounting platform, speed bag training gloves, hand wraps, and a jump rope. I'm mainly a karate and kung-fu student and teacher, but I've done some boxing too, and one of the best exercises you can learn to enhance speed and agility is the classic boxing workout on the speed bag. More martial artists should use this great training tool. I never got to the point where I could mix in things like elbow strikes and head butts in-between punches like the real experts, but I got pretty good just hitting it with straight punches and back hammerfists and could really get it going that way. If you're going to try this, keep your shoulders loose and try to hit with proper rhythm and timing--those are the key elements. Don't try to go real hard and fast in the beginning, as you'll only be able to hit it once or twice before you miss. Start slow and build up from there. Altogether a great training for martial artists of all styles and stripes.The jump rope is a nice extra although perhaps not as essential for karate students. That's because a boxer is poised on the balls of his feet, and his most powerful punch is the hook, which travels in an arc. A karate thrust punch is just the opposite. Karateists punch flat-footed and the punch is from the hips and travels in a straight line, so the karateist isn't always bouncing around on the balls of his feet like a boxer. He's more likely to shift stances and move only when necessary to adjust distance, although that depends on the individual fighter, too. Overall, a useful set and at a reasonable price for the quality and features offered.
