Thorny question: \u201cHow do I choose my punching bag? Let\u2019s take a look at this indispensable basic element of the noble art of boxing.<\/p>\n\n

What types of punching bags are available for boxing?<\/h2>\n\n

There are different types of punching bag for boxing<\/strong>, and you need to find the one that\u2019s right for you.<\/p>\n\n

Hanging punching bags<\/h3>\n\n

Ceiling-mounted punching bags<\/em> are the most popular. These are available at fairly affordable prices and are relatively easy to install. They are usually supplied with chain and swivel, sometimes with a ring underneath to enable them to be fixed to the ground. Weights range from 30 lbs to 150 lbs, with bags under 65 lbs for children, 75 lbs for adults and 100 or 150 lbs for Thai boxing.<\/p>\n\n

Stand-mounted punching bags<\/h3>\n\n

The stand-mounted<\/em> or base-mounted punching bag is a self-supporting punching bag<\/strong>. It\u2019s the perfect choice for those who can\u2019t hang a bag from the ceiling, those who live in apartments or simply those who want to move their bag to another location for training. These models offer the advantage of ease of installation and mobility, but lack the swinging effect of hanging bags. Base bags come in two types: those with a cylindrical shape and those with a striking surface molded like a human trunk. Before making your choice, make sure that the base of the bag you have chosen is large enough in diameter to offer adequate stability. Also make sure that the striking surface is adapted to your needs.<\/p>\n\n

Specialized punching bags<\/h3>\n\n

Specialized punching bags<\/em> have also emerged. In general, they are only seen in boxing gyms. This is the case, for example, with the uppercut bag, often horizontal, ideal for working on uppercuts. This is also the case with the tear drop bag<\/em>, shaped like a teardrop, which is quite small and filled with sand. It is designed to work on powerful boxing blows to the head.<\/p>\n\n
