Things To Consider When Choosing a Punching Bag For Martial Arts Practice

Martial arts as a form of workout is attracting a lot of interest in Singapore. Kickboxing gyms are sprouting everywhere. Whether you’re an enthusiast, just want to get more fit, or you simply want to unleash excess energy and stress after a day’s work, getting a punching bag for sale in Singapore is a great idea. Here is a bit of advice when choosing the right punching bag.

Decide on a type of punching bag

First of all, you want to decide what type of punching bag you want to buy. There are essentially three types of punching bags for you to choose from. Heavy bags are great for kicking and punching. As the name suggests, they can be quite heavy, weighing anywhere from 30kg to 60kg. You want to get a bag that suits your size. As a rule of thumb, some enthusiasts recommend taking your body weight and dividing into 2.

Meanwhile, free-standing bags stand on a sturdy base and are generally shorter. They are filled with sand or water, and just like heavy bags, they are suitable for strength and resistance training. They are just a bit more convenient because you can move them around.

Finally, speed bags are designed for those whose main goal for martial arts is for fitness. Speed bags do not offer much in terms of resistance but they can provide great aerobic exercise.

Where to buy?

Ideally, you want to get your punching bag in a Singapore sale or an online store that provides regular promotions, so you get the most bang for your buck. Choose an online seller that also has a physical store that you can visit and it would be great if it can offer a variety of options for punching bags so you don’t need to browse anywhere else.
