A punching bag is a cylindrical piece of equipment used primarily in boxing and martial arts training. It is typically filled with materials like sand, foam, or cotton, and is designed to absorb the impact of punches, kicks, and other strikes.
Types of Punching Bags:
- Heavy Bags: Weighing between 70 to 150 pounds, these are used for power training and can be hung from a ceiling or mounted on a stand.
- Speed Bags: Smaller and lighter, they are designed for improving hand speed and rhythm. They are usually mounted on a swivel and rebound quickly.
- Double-End Bags: These are anchored at both ends and move when struck, helping to improve accuracy and timing.
- Body Bags: Shaped like a human torso, these bags simulate real-life targets for practicing strikes and techniques.
Features:
- Material: Typically made from durable leather or synthetic materials, designed to withstand heavy use.
- Weight: Varied to accommodate different training styles and levels.
- Filling: Offers different levels of resistance and impact absorption, affecting how it feels to strike.
