Thai Bag

[lorenzodamarith]

hello,

well the obvious first question is "do you have an academy you train at?". if so, just use thiers.

so lets assume you don't, or you are just an 'ard bastard with lots of energy... you needn't worry about sending your bag flying. remember, there is a lot of ways to use a bag to train.

elbows, knees, teep, punch.

if you really are pressed for space (or have fears about the structure of your dwelling), get one of your buddies to train with you and use a power pad instead.

this post doesn't exhaust your options, just wanted to give you the general idea. holler back if you have questions.

thanks.

Oh yeah, 1 last thing. I thought of another place I can hang it up. I got these wooden arches in my house and in one spot there is plenty of room on each side of the arch, and the best part is the whole arch is solid wood so I was wondering if there is something that I could get that is something like a D ring. Basically I want something really subtle because I got the arch painted white and I don't want something huge and gawdy making it look hideous. Preferrably something like a little knodge to put in the wall, I can plug in the D ring into it when ever I am gonna practice and pop it out easily so I can take the bag down.

Sup I was thinking about buying a standard thai bag. 6ft 14x72 100lbs I think was the stats. The things basically sold by Titleboxing.com. My only concern is that if I was gonna set it up I'd do it in my spare room that currently is loaded with garbage (I mean wall to wall walk ontop of things to get into it.) Of course I'd clear it out and thats a bit oblivious to my point. The room is kind of small, now I'd of supplied measurements to the room but at the moment I can't get into it to measure it lol. Yeah... by the looks of it if I stood in the center of the room and fully extended a leg I'd have maybe a good 2-3 feet room between my foot and the wall. I'm worried about the concept of me hitting the bag hard enough to send it flying into the wall and since it's 100 lbs that wouldn't be too hard to break it seeing that my wall is redicously soft. Dry rock or what ever it's called. Do you think there is anyway that I could weigh it down or if it's even all that simply to make a thai bag fly into a wall like that (Yeah I know power of the kick and punch etc but still). I was told I hit rather hard and was planning on using it to practice my low kicks and teep perticularly thats why I am concerned.

Thats probalby the bag I'd buy so yeah. Also if you know of any better thai bags feel free to post those too! Alsoooooo if it turns out I would hit the wall if I kicked too hard is there anything I could buy like a steel plate for the bottom or something to keep it remotely stationary?

Thanks!
