Boxing Equipment? ?

Question

Hey

I'm just wanting to get a punchbag for keeping fit and taking stress out on occasionally.Was just wondering if someone could give me some advice,since I'm pretty clueless.

Should the punchbag be leather,if i'm not going to be doing serious boxing?

I'm just 5'3 and weigh around 110 lbs so what height and weight of punchbag should I get?

If someone could just answer these questions of mine,or even recommend a punchbag or two,that'd be great.

Also,if someone could recommend good gloves,that'd be appreciated.

Thanks

Syed

Answer 1

okay so what u want to get is like a medium size bag that's about 4ft. with as much or as little give as u would like. leather is good. and who needs gloves if u r just releasing anger? my coach is always getting mad at me because the only time i ever use gloves is in the ring. but u do want to be sure to bandage yourself up so that u minimize the chances of getting injured.

   give that bag a good punch for me!

if you want to keep fit using a bunch bag go to a dealer and try to find one that suits your needs..I would recommend a medium size bag maybe 4 ft in length with plenty give(soft as in you can make a dent when you punch)so you could use any gloves without damaging your hands also bandage up so you will not incurr wrist damage..material is not important all you need is for it not to be too light so as you need to chase it all over the place..also do not have it on a short leashe as it will swing all over the place..go to a gym or ask any boxer you know how to work a bag properly as you will have the the satisfaction of doing it right..enjoy my friend
