Century BOB Freestanding Punch Bag Height Adjustable 60-78 inches

Product Information

Are you getting a dummy for fun and to let off steam and not for the championship belt? If you don’t care about spending money, you can safely buy Bob as it will give you a lot more fun than a regular punch bag. Any martial art that would use a regular punching bag, heavy bag, or heavy hanging bag, will work with BOB as well. For example: Karate, Taekwondo, Tang Soo Do, Muay Thai, Kung Fu and so on. As with the other grappling dummies, this one comes unfilled. You can easily stuff it up to a weight of 80 lbs, but with a little extra compression, you can take that up to around 120 lbs. That high weight only adds to its realistic feel. I recommend that you choose your equipment according to your skills and goals. A Dummy is great to visualize where you hit your opponent, to workout technique and speed, but not so good to hit it very hard. A Standing Bag is for beginners who just want to have some fun. A Hanging Bag is for people who really want to develop their fighting skills.

We can also adjust the bag in 7 positions from 60 to 82 inches. This way, we can set the bag to our height. The wide range of settings makes body opponent bag a good choice for both short and tall people. Learn the technique properly. Practice makes perfect certainly applies here. It is way easier to learn your technique on a realistic-looking Century Bob filled with water than on a huge heavy bag filled with sand or cotton. For those looking for a real human feel, they’ll love this. I liked the fact that it was moveable, allowing you to practice different techniques and positions. You can also just use it as a regular punching bag. 4. Best for Home Gym – Century BOB XLUnlike some fitness videos, this one is designed to appeal to everyone, regardless of age or skill level.

Inflatable bags – Inflatable bags usually aren’t ideal for learning punch technique and power. They can be very useful for fitness alongside movement work.Beyond fighting another human, this is as close as you can get to reality. That realism is helped by the high-strength plastisol outer, which has the appearance of real skin. That’s aided by the high-density urethane foam filling of this human punching dummy. Realistic practice – These punching bags gives you an added sense of realism that you can take into bouts and self-defense. While no substitute for the real thing, they are more authentic than using a punching bag.

I was extremely impressed with the feel and quality of this body punching dummy. The outer fabric is soft but remains highly durable. That’s helped by it being double stitched, and therefore you never need to worry about those seams coming apart. Century’s Body Opponent Bag, or more simply: Bob, is probably the most famous training dummy in the world. Everyone’s seen this dummy at least once, as it’s used primarily with self-defense courses. Century Martial Arts were founded in 1976, in a garage, like a lot of businesses.

Best for Beginners – Nevife Inflatable Punching Bag A great partner for sparring techniques or target work, the original BOB - Body Opponent Bag is a life-like mannequin with a vinyl "skin" for more realistic self-defense training.
