Having a punching bag at home is a good investment for training and developing your sporting skills. But there are several criteria to take into account when choosing it. Let’s take a look at how to make the best choice for your needs, expectations and desires.

Suspended or free-standing punching-ball, which one to choose?

In fact, there are two types of punching bag: the first is the free-standing version. It needs to be sufficiently weighted not to be unbalanced and able to take the many blows you inflict on it. Being free-standing, it’s easy to install, move and store. This type of equipment is therefore more suitable for beginners, whether in boxing, taekwondo or other combat sports and martial arts.

At the opposite end of the spectrum are hanging punching bags. These need to be hung high, using a stable, high-quality and reliable fastener. Because of its attachment, it is more difficult to move, but promises greater stability than its free-standing counterpart.

Stability, a key factor

The stability of your training bag is important. A bad punching bag can lead to injury and poor training. Whether it’s a stand-up bag filled with water or sand, or a punching bag hanging from your wall or ceiling, make sure they’re securely attached to avoid any risk. You’ll be able to make full use of it, boosting your striking power and refining your movements.

An article for every budget

Everyone has a budget for their training equipment, which can vary from simple to double. Price can therefore be a criterion in your choice. Depending on your budget, you’ll make different choices when it comes to your purchase. Daisho’s punching bags and other products range from €110 to €395.

The benefits of a punching bag (anti-stress)

There are many benefits to having a punching bag at home. As well as improving your striking strength, precision and technique, you’ll enjoy a host of other benefits.

By training regularly you will develop your cardio. Your heart rate and heart muscles will be worked and strengthened during your various exercises.

Finally, release the stress and tension you may be feeling in your personal or professional life. A good way to enhance your well-being, both mental and physical.
