Thai Bag

[Slaya]

I plan to kick the hell out of the bag, and I don't want a heavy bag I want a thai baig. Iron stand + kick = cast on leg.

I've seen heavy bags up to 300lbs on boxing websites. I just bought a really nice heavy bay stand made of heavy duty cast iron steel. The reg price is $199.00 I caught it on sale for $89.99 at dicks. If you don't have a dicks in your area, shop online. Prior to that, I hung my heavy bags from the basement ceiling.

I think just having the bag free hanging you'll do fine. It takes alot of torque to make a Thai-Bag swing. Unless you're kicking like Former Dallas Cowboy Randy White who still remains to have the strongest kick to date according to Ajarn Chai, you'll be fine. Have fun.

Couldu that actually deal any damage to me? Just thought of this now but taking into consideration the thai style of kicking (kick through, not to).

Hi

Ringside calls it a rock, I don't know what title calls it get the heaviest one you can for the thai bag.

Not really, just noticed it while skimming through the magazine. It was like a little bag, looked like you attach it to the bottom of a heavy bag.

hello,

OOOOOHHHHH!!! yeah. have seen several versions of those. they seem to keep the bag from swinging (as much). that way the bag has some "drag" without actually dragging on the ground and damaging the heavy bag.

have not used one personally, so not sure how effective they are. will ask around for you.

thanks.

hello,

well, as for your friend, just keep bangin' away on those nerves until the insolent wretch gives in and........

er......

hope you and your friend have fun training.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Can't do the teep on a wall, I got dry wall. Also, even if I do it to a support beam I just got that feeling that I should stop lol, know what I mean? As for the outside bag, no. I have cement ground outside so barefoot = no, not to mention I just would rather practice in privacy.

I think I struck a nerve with one of my friends though, I might be able to persuade him into doing some pad work but he is the real ignorant type. Ya know what I mean "Fight like a man, kicks are for girls!" If he ever agrees I'll just teach him typical western boxing techniques, but when he holds for me I'm gonna rock him with the first thai kick I throw lol.

Thanks for everything though guys, any other recomendations would be greatly appreciated. I even read something in a title boxing magazing about a ground weight that is portable and is about 30 lbs when filled with sand, any info on that?

hello,

see? ideas are just 'a pourin' in, ain't they?

good luck to you.

thanks.

A bag stand that you put outside sounds like the way to go except if you live in a place that snow during the winter. Also you can buy a free standing bag and just roll it outside to use then roll it back inside when you are done.

That's a specialty bag. At Thai camps it's usually known as "grasop dtae kah" which means literally "bag for leg kicks". Many Thai camps don't use them, but at those that do you'll notice that the indentation on the bag is almost exclusively at thigh height. If you use it that way (just for practicing leg kicks) the bag shouldn't swing more than a couple of feet or so.

Yes, but it's like a mc dojo due to lack of options so they suck.
Teep is one of the main things I'm worried about with movement. Another problem is that I've measured how far my kick would reach and the ample range needed for the bag + my body so I can rotate and move propperly. I really am pressed for space baddly.

As for buddies, I've already tried that. I have thai pads, punch mits, and a shield pad but my friends are like fruity and don't want to do anything cause their fat and lazy. So yeah, I'm kind of screwed in a manner. I've even posted previously on this forum for a partner but that went nowhere lol. Thanks anyway though.

hello,

well, mcdojos do suck. as for teep, you are in luck. just use a sturdy wall somewhere. like a nice concrete wall. if the room you have is a bit too small, maybe you could spring for an outdoor stand? maybe some of your fruity friends can pitch in to help you get one? like a birthday or christmans present?

yeah. it is reaching a bit. hopefully this helps even a little bit.

thanks.

hello,

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

Yes, but it's like a mc dojo due to lack of options so they suck.

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.
