USI Universal Thai Style Punch Kit – 8005

Description

A Thai-style punch bag, often referred to as a heavy bag or banana bag, is a training tool used in Muay Thai and other striking martial arts. These bags are designed to withstand powerful kicks, knees, elbows, and punches commonly used in Thai boxing training. Here are some considerations when looking for a Thai-style punch bag:

1. Material:
   • Canvas or Leather: Thai-style punch bags are often made from canvas or leather. Leather bags, especially those made from genuine or top-grain leather, are known for their durability. Canvas bags can be more affordable and still offer good quality.
2. Size and Shape:
   • Thai-style punch bags are typically longer and narrower than traditional boxing bags. The elongated shape allows for a greater variety of strikes, including kicks, knees, and elbows. Consider the size that suits your training goals and available space.
3. Weight:
   • Choose a bag with an appropriate weight for your training needs. Heavier bags are often used for power and strength training, while lighter bags are suitable for speed and precision work.
4. Filling:
   • The filling material inside the bag contributes to its feel and responsiveness. Common fillings include shredded fabric, foam, or a combination of materials. Some bags also have a softer upper section to simulate the feel of a human body.
5. Hanging System:
   • Ensure that the bag comes with a reliable hanging system, such as heavy-duty straps and D-rings. The hanging system should be secure and able to support the weight of the bag.
