About this deal
I have a 9 year old who stands as tall as BOB on his lowest setting, and Lorenzo isn’t 5 feet tall at 9.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Building up my strength is something I need to do though, this looks like a great piece of kit to invest in. Explore our diverse range of free standing punch bags to find the perfect fit for your training needs. This means if you are of average height or a little below, you can practice distances and angles for taller opponents, meaning you are more prepared when you spar or you want to challenge yourself.The fit is so tight (which is good) that it’s a real struggle to get it on, then trying to find the hole for the bolt to mount it.
They mention it feels good at touch/punch, is soft enough to be used without gloves, and the rubber is very nice to hit. Next, once you start throwing feet or knees into it the base doesn’t hold enough water to keep it from moving around.I'm a 13-year veteran of the martial arts, including Aikido, Sil Lum and Choy Li Fut Kung Fu, Guang Ping Yang style Tai Chi, and Ninjutsu. The bag would often move in directions I didn’t want and, if there was nobody else there, I would have to keep steadying it myself which becomes a pain after a while especially when doing combinations. Having visually representative areas to target is fantastic as it gets you used to the distance between you and your opponent and prepares you to reach the sensitive areas of the body.
Century BOB XL moves around minimally, meaning you can focus on targetry, combinations, or mixing up combos on the fly without worrying about it moving about so you miss punches or strikes. So I recently got myself a BOB, a body opponent bag from Century, one of the biggest names in martial arts equipment.
