Water or Sand?

[Tyger]

I just received a Wavemaster stand-up heavy bag as a gift, and I was wondering from the MT standpoint what was better to fill the base with-- water or sand? I know MT wastes no time with point sparring and tip-tap stuff, so I figured those who practice it might have a different point of view than a TKD person. Anyway, any input would be appreciated.

Also, are there any MT schools located in Northeast Ohio?

Thanx!

sand

If you have to use one, go with sand. I had one back when I lived in an apartment. I thought what the heck, it will give me something to beat on when I'm not working Thai pads with a partner. Problem was, I was constantly kicking the thing over. After one particlarly hard round kick that sent it over, I immediatly noticed a large stain forming on the carpet underneath the Wavemaster. I had split the seam that runs up the neck. What a mess. Water everywhere. If at all possible, get your self a good heavy bag. I'm partial to the 6ft Fairtex Banana bag myself.
