punching bag

bicep Posts: 315 Joined: 2001/01/26	2004/05/30, 06:56 PM I was wandering you if any of you have one and how do you have it set up. I was looking at some stands today but they pretty expensive so I was thinking of putting something by myslef, but i do not want to hang it from the beams. (when you punch you can hear it in the whole house)

I previously had a heavy bag hanging from the I-beam in the basement, but as you said, it shook the whole house when you punched it. I like the wave bag, it kind of retreats a little as I drill on it and I can position the height of my opponent. Mine wasn't too expensive - around $40-50. -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

Sparring is the best thing you can do to start boxing...Purchase some gloves and some headgear and go one on w/ family and friends for now (if they are willing) Check out these sites http://www.rossboxing.com/ http://www.hitboxing.com/ If you have any more questions or would like me to set you up on some kind of regimen I would be more than happy to help you out in the boxing department. :) ============ Quoting from godlike: I want to start Boxing but theres no boxing places were i live What would you advise for someone who wants to start boxing =============
