MMA Heavy Bags
Heavy bags are a great way to practice your striking as well as work on your conditioning. Heavy bags offer resistance which can help simulate punching a real opponent. The average heavy bag weight is around 100lb and they have been used for many years for boxing and kickboxing training. Many people have a heavy bag hanging somewhere around their house used for exercise, and to practice the old 1-2 every now and then. You can get a good quality heavy bag for your home without breaking the bank. There are many options under $100 if you have a place to hang the bag. Some bags can easily go onto stands or racks built for the heavy bag. You can mount them to the ceiling, the wall, you can even hang it from a tree. If you have no place to hang it you’ll want to consider one with a stand. The weight is something else to consider, 100lb can be a lot of weight if you need to move it around or you are just a small or light person.
There are many options for heavy bags and they all have their own differences. Some people prefer different materials for conditioning, some people only use leather so it will last. Unless you are putting some full time effort into the bag you won’t need to worry much about that because all heavy bags are pretty durable to begin with.
