Hi, everyone I just bought a Punchbag http://www.abcaz.com/5_1159391/punch-bags-pads-and-mitts/bryan-workout;-punchbag-and-mitts.html

To do my kickboxing training in. I want to know is it good I am going to fix it tomorrow in the garage. I am new to kickboxing so it will help me.

I herd bad rumors that bags from srgos are not good, is it true?
Also How can I train with a punchbag, I use to have one in thailand weight about 65kg fill with soil.

I hope my punchbags is okay.
Hope you guys help me with this topic.

The Argos stuff isn't very good to be honest with you (the rumours you heard are right)

My mate had one but it ripped open (not because he is super strong lol). It started cracking really quickly and then just opened up. I didn't understand it. It wasn't even past its guarantee.

I live in london and i get my stuff from
www.cimac.net
everything that i have bought from it is soooo long lasting. It has moderately good prices but its long lasting and generally really good. My kickboxing club gets all its stuff from there also.


Now the training that you do with a bag is basically moving around the bag while hitting it. Bob and weave do a combo then move do some kicks and ect. The point of the bag is so that you learn to move around and hit the 'person'.

If you have a chance to i would refund the argos bag and buy from cimac. But if its too late then just stick with the argos one.

Hope it helps :bow:

So, its that bad? I'ved saved up my money buying punchbag stands, punch bags mitts and all that is wasted. Do you think I've got hope of training in it for atleast one or two years. (Afterall am not even a white belt)

If you could rate the bag what would you rate it?
It is Bryan made, I was baout to buy the BBE but that is not as good
I guess.

I am around 174cm weigth 57-58kg.
Would I be able to ripped it apart just a training of 4 to 5 times a week?
My favorite kicks are muay thai kicks and shins is that suitable.
My friend tony has a bag from argos, hes a beginner boxer and footballer and his dad wins alot of trophy in boxing and building muscles and they had a punchbag from argos and it dind'nt ripped years and years. The rumors I herd was from a website.

Its not wasted, after all a punch bag is a punch bag. It won't really matter what bag you get as long as your happy. Sorry its just me, i have this thing with punch bags lol.

The bag will serve you well. After you have been doing it for some time 1-2 years you can just upgrade. And it it rips you can replace it always with the guarantee i think (you have to read up). Or it will be an excuse for you to get a new bag. Once you upgrade get a professional bag, their about £20-£40 more but they are very good. They are firmer and 'human like' and don't wear away quickly.

Don't even worry about the belts, its all about experience and you have it, with the muay tai. If they put you against a purple belt you would probably whoop their a**. If i were you i would not even do the belts.

With your weight the bag will be fine, unless you put on an extra 40kg overnight.

I can't just rate the bag but when compared to the T-Sport punching bag of the same weight i would give it a 5 outta 10. But still this is only my opinion. You train with what you feel is comfortable.

Thanks for your replys its kept my spirits going. But I'd tried the Punchbag two hours ago and to be honest its okay, because my punch and kicks are quit strong. To be honest its alright I'd give it a six but a punchbag is a punchbag. The problems with it is that some of the bottom half are rock solid I though it was some wood but that not a problem. The ones in Thailnd is way better it weight so much nearly 70kg and a six footer. I'll guess I'll save more money to buy a six footer ones.

The punchbag is crap i don't recommed anyone to buy it from argos is horrible i was about to throw in the bin but I use it fro power lifts insted of punches the material is bad i found hard stuff stuck in it too.
