Answer 2

IMO, If you're just starting out, buy from your local sporting goods chain the better 70 lb + bag available. If you plan or using it, weather you box or not, (Great for general exercise and stress reliever) then buy a good leather bag. Don't use it to kick it, as it will scratch, mar and ruin the bag, but if you work the bag, similar to an opponent, then it can be fun as well as very useful. Don't try to hit it as hard as you can, but work on combinations, like you were BOXING an opponent. Straight left, riight hand and short left hook, both to the body (liver area) and head. Good luck.
