Yea obv we're just tryina gauge from the pic lol, I'm thinkin if they get bk to me with prices for shipping etc and I acn work an approx of the customs + vat myself it may be worth it - the ONLY reservation I have about that one is the narrow footprint, in terms of wher ethe standing leg will be when throwing a kick.
I'd just use the whole thing for boxing drills, and then seperately for kicking, meaning I would just throw a few kicks on each leg etc, no integration with punch / combos... Therefore, the only issue is the stand getting in the way, I don't mind if it moves a little itll be good to have to readjust or I could put it in the middle of the room and kick it 5 times one way and then kick it back wit the other leg haha. And I'm sure if I ghet some sandbags to drape acros the supports + use weights then it wud hopefully be fairly sturdy.. :\ lol. I can't tell how far to the side the supports are, it maybe that I need to stand to one side (eg place the standing foot just inside a strut) or slightly off centre. shame i can't know until I actually have it built in front of me!
What a mission this whole thing is!!! lol. thanks again.

Not unless you want a motorised punchbag frame you can drive down the street lolol.
yeah that american one looks ok, would be better to see in real life.
Maybe you can email them for the dimensions of it before you buy it. Might be worth asking before you find out its 3 foot wide or some crap.
When you kick the punch bag will swing, if it goes past the feet the whole frame can tip unless you use alot of weight to pin it down.
good luck with it either way, post up what you choose.
