Here’s how to decide between a freestanding bag & a hanging bag.

As athome workouts have become the new normal, many of us have been seeking a way to improve the way we exercise at home. Many have found combat sports to be an effective exercise. Whether it is kickboxing, boxing, mixed martial arts (MMA) or something in between, there is one piece of equipment that is essential: the punching bag.

Is a Punching Bag Worth It?

The short answer is yes. A punching bag allows you to practice almost every move that you would use in a traditional boxing or kickboxing match. Practicing against air can only get you so farthis is known as shadowboxing. A punching bag gives you resistance and the illusion of an opponent. This way, you can figure out your own style of fighting. That, combined with the stress relief that comes from hitting the bag for a while, makes a punching bag well worth the cost.

Is a Standing Punching Bag Better Than a Hanging Punching Bag?

This is mostly up to the individual. It depends on your needs and your space. Both hanging punching bags and freestanding punching bags have advantages and disadvantages.

What Is The Best Punching Bag To Buy?

Over the years many companies have released all sorts of punching bags, some are high quality and well worth the money, while others are better left…at the store. Buying your first punching bag can be intimidating, especially if you are new to combat sports.

The three (3) freestanding bags that have been “fightertested” by our FightCamp trainers are featured in this video. They put them through “stress tests”, consisting of oneminute constant kickboxing combinations and boxing punch combinations. All three of these bags can be purchased online or at most sporting goods stores.
