 Great sparring bag! April 23, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I began kickboxing class and wanted to be able to continue with the lesson at home, so I took a chance and purchased this sparring bag. I checked the internet and found this to be the best price for the same exact item, and no charge for shipping and handling. It arrived promptly and I was not disappointed. It is the same exact bags that we use at the karate center. The quality was excellent and set up was quick and easy. I did it by myself and did not need assistance from my sons or husband. It is a great bag and I love it. My husband has even began using it on his own.
 Not Bad February 20, 2008
Great product. Although it is still too light for kicking, this product is one of the best standing kicking bags in the market.
Great for space and exercise January 27, 2008

I replaced my heavy bag with this to free up space in my condo. It works great! Even filled with water, it is still easy to move. The feel isn't quite the same as a heavy bag, but this works even better for kicks. I am very pleased with the quality and the punching area is huge!

This is a really incredible bag. I didn't know what to expect and I was afraid I might end up breaking this with how hard I hit, but this thing really stands up to some abuse. Kicks, punches, elbows...you name it, I've given this bag my worst and it takes it. It sure took a long time to fill the base, but that's the only downside really. If you don't have space for a hanging bag, this is a fantastic alternative.

If your options are limited.
There's no replacement for a high quality banana bag but if you have no place to hang one or fear knocking the beams down from the ceiling in the garage, this is a really great option.
The bag itself is relatively light & a bit softer than I'd like it to be, but when the base is filled, it definitely stands up to whatever punishment you can dish at it. There is a bit of play (maybe an inch or so) which tends to loosen the more you kick or punch. (Though a quick twist of the bag on the base will eliminate the additional movement) That being said, here is a warning for you... If you like throwing elbows, either have a partner support the bag, or get in closer than you would a typical hanging bag. Reason being, if you stand too far out when you strike, the bag will move an inch or so away from you leaving a nice streak of skin from your now friction burned elbow. Knees are somewhat similar as well but without the burn. At the standard distance, you may as well throw knees at a curtain hanging in your hallway. In order to feel the bag, you'll need to get much closer which is a big awkward standing practically flush to the base. This could be detrimental to your training so it would be wise to grab a partner & hit the Thai pads so you get a little variation.
All in all, it does everything I need it to do. It tends to move all around the mats in my garage, even when completely filled but I don't really mind. Forces me to work the bag from all angles & whack it where I want it to go. I can practice all of my standard Muay Thai drills without a partner considering the fairly large surface area. Low kicks which you'd typically do w/ a partner holding a Leg Kick Pad, punches, elbows, knees, etc... Most importantly, I cannot kick it down. If you can kick this thing down, you should try out for the UFC or potentially as a Placekicker for the NFL. Better yet, go to the Lumberjack World Championships in Hayward, Wisconsin & blow away the competition by kicking trees down w/ your bare shins.
Suggestions: If they could build a non-slip base, eliminate the play & stiffen up the bag to simulate a heavy-bag feel, this would definitely be a true banana bag replacement...Regardless, there aren't any freestanding bags like this on the market & Amazon has the most competitive price with free shipping. Awesome...
