 An outstanding training tool April 12, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm not too big on free standing punching bags but the BOB is something special, a separate class all it's own. The rubber skin more closely emulates punching a real person than a regular heavy bag. It is comfortable to strike for long periods of time without requiring hand protection yet holds up to serious abuse from fists, feet, elbows, knees, or whatever you want to hit it with. Furthermore, the human-like shape really facilitates targeting. If you are purely a traditionalist you'll probably want a makiwara (striking post). If you're willing to embrace the best in a modern training tool, however, this mannequin bag makes a great investment. There are some really good BOB workouts in books like Loren Christensen's "Solo Training 2: The Martial Artist's Guide to Building the Core for Stronger, Faster and More Effective Grappling, Kicking and Punching." This is a fantastic training tool for any martial artist.

PHENOMENAL Item. Fantastically awesome. December 9, 2006

Okay, I'm not sure how many of you out there that are reading this are familiar with martial arts or working out, but I have used both this BOB and a typical kick/punch bag, and the difference is stark. This item is worth every penny.
I love it, love it, love it. Not a single complaint.
