FREE-STANDING PUNCHBAGS

Free-standing punching bags are the most accessible and easiest to use on the market. Most free-standing punching bags can be weighed down using water or sand. Many bags like these have target spots to perform combinations, and can withstand kicks and punches. Free-standing punching bags are ideal for all levels of fitness, giving you a fun and physically challenging workout. Boxers, MMA fighters and martial artists of all disciplines can benefit from free-standing punching bags. 

Here are some of our top picks:

1. Taurus 195cm Free Standing Commercial Punch Bag 
2. RDX 6ft Free Standing Target Punch Bag

HANGING PUNCH BAGS

Hanging punching bags provide the boxer with a moving target that responds to their attacks. Hanging punching bags use a wall mount (sold separately), which allows for more movement than a free-standing bag, allowing fighters to work with the give and take of a moving opponent during sparring. 

Here are our top picks:

1. RDX F6 KARA 5ft Punch Bag
2. BBE Matte Black Boxing Punch Bag
3. BBE Body-Bag Inc Straps & Swivel
