Frequently asked questions
What Bag Weight Should I Choose?
A common rule of thumb is a bag weighing about half your body weight. The heavier the bag, the less it moves on hard strikes.
Filled or Unfilled Bag?
An unfilled bag costs less to ship. Filling it yourself takes time and gives a less even density.
Freestanding or Hanging Bag?
A hanging bag handles heavy strikes better. A freestanding bag can be set up anywhere but can tip over on powerful kicks.
