Punching Bag

Build a setup that matches your space and goals. Choose a hanging punching bag for power and endurance or add a floor-to-ceiling ball for improved rhythm and head movement. Use a freestanding model if you rent or train in shared rooms or add grappling dummies help with throws and ground work.

Pick from Adidas, Everlast, Fairtex, Punch, Rival, Twins, Rival and Shinobi. Match the bag’s weight to how hard you hit so it doesn’t swing too much. Check ceiling height and anchor points before you buy hardware.

How heavy should my bag be?
A simple rule is to start near half your body weight. Go heavier if you hit very hard to reduce swing. Lighter bags move more and help timing. If you share space, consider a freestanding bag so you can move it, then add more fill as your power grows.

What do I need to install a hanging bag safely?
Use a rated ceiling hook or wall mount, a strong chain or strap, and a swivel. Anchor into a solid beam, not drywall. Check the load rating and ceiling height, then test with short rounds. If mounting isn’t possible, pick a freestanding bag and focus on base fill.
