New Punch Bag Range

Types of Punch Bags

  • Heavy Bags: These are large, durable bags designed to absorb high-impact punches and kicks, excellent for building power and conditioning. They vary in weight and are typically filled with materials like sand or grains.
  • Speed Bags: Small, air-filled bags that bounce back quickly when hit, mounted on a platform to improve hand-eye coordination, timing, and speed. They are essential for developing rhythm and reflexes in boxing.
  • Double-End Bags: Smaller, round bags attached at both ends by elastic cords to the floor and ceiling, moving unpredictably to improve accuracy, timing, and reflexes.
  • Freestanding Bags: These bags are mounted on a base that can be filled with water or sand, making them portable and suitable for punches and kicks but may move under heavy force. The Body Opponent Bags often referred to as punching dummies are human like for targeted strikes.
  • Maize Bags and Uppercut Bags: Specialized bags designed for practicing uppercuts and hooks, with maize bags being smaller and filled with maize, and uppercut bags shaped for the upward angle of punches.
  • Wall Bags: Mounted on a wall for practicing specific strikes at a fixed point, excellent for training accuracy and power.

Punch Bag Accessories

  • Gloves and Hand Wraps: Essential for protecting hands and wrists from injuries, with gloves providing cushioning and hand wraps supporting the wrist.
  • Mounting Systems and Stands: Necessary for properly installing heavy bags, with freestanding bags having their base, and wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted bags needing secure fittings.
  • Swivels and Chains: Allow for proper movement and rebound of speed bags and double-end bags, with heavy bags often hanging from chains.
  • Bag Covers: Protect the bag from wear and tear and sometimes to soften the impact, also helping in maintaining hygiene.
  • Anchors: Ensure equipment like double-end bags and some freestanding models stay in place during workouts.
