Hi sticknmove. This bag would work fine for you, as well as the platinum version: bx-hv-40. In terms of your ceiling height, you may need to go down to the local hardware store and grab more chain. Other than that, it shouldn't be a problem.

Don't worry Zea, we'll get you the right gear. For your husband's size and weight you could go with either an 80lb bag or a 100lb bag. 80lb bags provide a little more swing and therefore more opportunity for footwork training, 100lb bags provide more resistance. If you'd like to one-stop-shop, this set would do the trick: bx-hv-1501. Otherwise, the bag on this current page would work well, as would this one: bx-hv-40 (Select 80lbs).

As for gloves, I would recommend an inexpensive pair of handwraps here: bx-ac-14, and then gloves like these (probably in medium unless he has big hands): bx-gl-2278.

If you are hanging the bag in the garage, be aware that bags come with a chain and hook but not a mount. Figure out what kind of material you are going to hang it from (metal beam, wooden post, etc) and then select the right mount here: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html.

Thank you so much!

With your age and experience I would put you at an 80lb bag.

Muay Thai is a powerful art, but since you are a beginner I might recommend starting with an 80lb bag instead. Make sure you get some good gloves either way.

The dimensions are as follows: 14"L x 14"W x 48.5"H. This bag comes filled.

Your ideal bag would probably be 80 lbs, but 100 lb will work fine if you get a good pair of gloves with plenty of padding. Also, our heavybag stands can handle 80 or 100 lb bags so no worries there.

Hi zaya. Here are the dimensions: 14"L x 14"W x 48.5"H.

Hi Elle. Are you referring to the chain assembly or an actual mount for you ceiling? The mount itself does not come with the bag, and if you do not have one around the house you'll have to grab one here: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html.

Hi Rebecca. Let's go down the list:

1. 80lbs will be fine as a beginner. Eventually he could use 100lbs safely, however this bag will always be good for footwork since it will swing around more for him.

2. This bag does come with a chain assembly, but not a beam bracket. You can browse those here: http://www.karatedepot.com/bag-mounts.html.

3. This bag has a loop on the bottom that can accommodate a double end elastic tether, but it does not come with the tether or the floor mount.

4. This bag is user friendly, so as long as you get him a size large in gloves you should be fine. You can browse according to your budget: http://www.karatedepot.com/baggloves.html. You can also grab a pair of handwraps on the cheap: http://www.karatedepot.com/boxing-accessories.html.

Hope this helps!

Hi Tan. Sounds like a good gift idea. Here are some things to consider:

Hanging bags and standing bags both have pros and cons. Hanging bags require a specific location to attach it to your ceiling or the purchase of a hanging unit like these here: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html. Hanging bags come with a wider range of weight options, of which the 60-80lb range would be appropriate for your girlfriend's needs. The hanging bag is more solid than a standing bag which means you can develop more striking power into it as well as develop footwork as it swings.

On the other hand, standing bags are extremely mobile and convenient, allowing you to train anywhere. The striking surface itself tends to be a little softer on the hands, making it easier on the knuckles and joints. It doesn't swing like a hanger, so footwork training is a little trickier. Standing bags don't really come in different sizes and weights so you don't have to worry about that.

Hope this helps!

Due to his experience, body size, and level of fitness I think you could go with the 100lb unit. You'll still want to grab a decent pair of gloves, but I suspect that weight will be a good choice. Also, if you don't have a mount for your ceiling you can grab one here - http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html.

thanks! this is really helpful!

just one other question .. i went looking for gloves and realize they come in different weights; any recommendation on which to get?

thanks again!

Anything in the 12-16 ounce range would be fine. Less weight means less padding, so the gloves will be less bulky but also less protective.

Hi lag. I think you should go with an 80lb option. With a good pair of gloves, an 80lb bag will be easier on the joints and hands. Since he is going for fitness instead of training for a fight he should consider longevity a top priority.

Hi mm. The dimensions of the 100lb bag are 14"Lx14"Wx48.5"H. The 80lb bag is a bit smaller, more like 44" in height.

Well right now an 80lb bag is probably better since you don't have previous experience. However, you are already pretty big and likely to gain both size and muscle mass. I'm going to recommend the 100lb bag, just get good gloves so you don't damage your wrist and hands at first!

Yes it does, although it does not come with a ceiling mount. If you need a hook style unit to connect the chains to your ceiling, you'll want to browse here: http://www.karatedepot.com/bag-mounts.html.

Unfortunately we don't have anything like an extension bag chain. I think you'll have to rely on a local hardware store to get a length of chain and carabiner style hook.

Hi Kelly. Quick question - how old/big is your son? 100lb bags can be pretty hefty, so if he isn't used to it he might be better served with an 80lb bag.

In regards to hanging it - the bag comes with chains that allow it to hang from the ceiling. However, you'll need a 'mount' to actually hang it to. If your garage has wooden beams you'll want a mount like this: bx-ac-24. Otherwise you'll want to browse the other options here: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html.

Hi Sam. First, I would recommend this bag to you: bx-hv-721. It's heavy enough for your husband, but the added layer of foam protection will keep both of your joints safe.

You'll also need something to hang it to your ceiling. Browse here: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html.

I would also recommend getting some decent gloves, size medium for you and large for your husband: bx-gl-2273.

Yea this bag would be fine! Depending on your size you might want to go 80lbs so it swings a little for you.

Hi MattyO. For your purposes I think the 100lb bag would be the right choice. In order to protect your hands and joints I recommend investing in a well padded pair of gloves, something in the 14oz-16oz range.

Between a standing bag and hanging bag I would recommend the hanging bag for you. The reason why is because your husband can take the chains off and practice throws and grappling transitions with it.

As for the bag weight, 100lbs would be suitable for your husband but you personally might find it a bit like hitting a wall. You'd be better suited with a 70lb bag. Ultimately the choice is yours to go with the 100 or perhaps compromise with an 80lb!

You'd be set with 100lbs, or even heavier. We do occasionally carry heavier than 100 but I do not believe we have any in stock at the moment.

I think you would be in good shape with a 70 or 80lb bag. 70 would provide more swing, requiring more footwork.

Hi Chelsey. The 80lb bag measures about 43.3L x 14W x 14H inches. You can adjust a bit less or more for different weight bags.

At first I would recommend a 70lb bag, but I think in the long run you might be happier with the 80lb.

Hi Big Willie. You're clearly big enough to use the 100lb bag safely. However, if you go 80, it will swing more for you and you'll have to integrate more body movement in your training.

Hi Heather. You'd be best set with a 60 or 70lb bag. 60 would give you more swing, while 70 would give more resistance. Those would both require hanging from a ceiling.

For freestanding bags you don't have to worry about weight so much. Something like this will work great: bx-hv-2026.

Yes indeed - this is a filled bag.

Hey Jon, it sounds like you could handle a heavier bag. If you want to practice striking drills, the 80lb may be appropriate. If you had football drills in mind too, the 100 could be the way to go.

Since you have some experience I'd say the 70lb bag would probably be ideal for you. Enough weight to train impact while not being like a brick wall hanging there.

HI Blitz. I think a 70 or 80lb bag would be an appropriate weight suggestion. As for exterior, canvas is the toughest on bare hands so vinyl or leather would probably be best. If you get gloves also then any exterior will be fine.

With your size and experience I think the 100lb bag would be best for developing striking power. That being said, the 80lb bag would swing a lot more for you if you wanted more footwork development.

Hi Jesse. It sounds to me like you could hand either the 80 or 100, so I think you're main consideration will be mobility. The 80lb bag will give you good swing, so you'll get to work on footwork as well when training. The 100lb bag will be more solid for pure kicking power development. Your call!

as for bx-hv-41 - I believe we will be getting more of those in stock in the next month or two.

When it comes to linking, the trick is to surround your sku with this markup: [ sku ] xyz-xyz-21 [ /sku ], just without any spaces.

Hey John. The tricky thing is getting a bag that is light enough to be fun for the kids but also provides some training for you. Ultimately, I think you could go with something like a 60 or 70lb bag and just make sure the kids use good gloves whenever hitting it. That way, while the bag may be too firm for them, the gloves will absorb the impact and keep the hands safe.

Hi Lindy. If you are a beginner at striking you might want the 60lb bag. If you've got some experience the 70 should work.

Hi Rory. I think you would be best in the 80-100lb range. An 80lb bag would give you some swing so as to improve your footwork, however a 100lb bag would stay firm, allowing more punch power development.

Hey John. If I had to make a recommendation, I would say for your body weight and beginner status an 80lb bag would be more suitable.

A heavier bag won't necessarily make you stronger or better any quicker than a lighter bag. In fact, if a bag is too heavy for your body type and level you could end up injuring your joints and getting zero sway from it (which helps footwork practice).

Whatever you choose to go with, you would have to get a wooden beam mount separate, which you can find here - bx-ac-36.

Hope this helps!

I think the 80lb bag would be the minimum weight for you, and perhaps the best option if you don't have a lot of experience with bag work yet. A 100lb bag would be a viable option, although it would be a bit tougher on the hands and joints.

Due to your experience you would probably be ok either way, but the 60lb bag will give you a little more bag swing. I tend to think that's better for workouts because it involves more footwork and concentration vs striking power in order to stay with the bag.

I'd recommend the 60 :-)

Hi Steph. I think the 60 or 70lb heavy bag would be a good weight for you. As for the model, the bag on this page would be a good choice. The nevatear exterior and foam interior should be able to handle temperature change and imperfect conditions. Don't forget a pair of gloves too!

Hi Mikey - I'd recommend the 80lb model. As for which bag - this one right here would be great for general boxing use.

Hi Leelee. The bag on this page would be a fine choice - I would recommend the 60lb bag weight. I'd also recommend getting a bag mount for when you go to hang it: bx-ac-36.

Another option for you would be to get a freestanding bag. You can put them wherever you want and don't require hanging or a solid ceiling beam: bx-hv-161.

The 100lb bag is about 49" in length.

No, there are no bottom loops on this bag.

I think if you want a lot of bag swing you could go with an 80lb bag, however for your size and weight you could also utilize a 100lb bag for resistance.

Hey gypsy. I'd recommend going with a bag like the one this bag. Foam filled, durable vinyl exterior, not too pricey. As for the weight, I think 70lbs would be perfect for his age and experience level.

If you're expecting another growth spurt and more muscle mass, bump it up to 80 (but I wouldn't go higher than that).

This is a fine choice for a bag, but I wouldn't get higher than 80lbs if I were in your shoes.

Hi Hunter. Right now you would probably be best suited with a 50lb bag, but as get older you'll want more resistance. Perhaps something like a 70lb bag would be good. Consider these options: bx-hv-707, bx-hv-380, bx-hv-656.

Your looking at about (L x W x H): 14.0 x 14.0 x 48.0.

Hey Frank. Getting a heavy bag is a great way to relieve stress. For your height and weight I would recommend a 70 or 80lb bag. Any more than that and you might end up injuring your joints. This one here is really nice: bx-hv-209.

As for a stand, this one is affordable and high quality: bx-ac-853. If you think your roof can handle the impact and jostling you could drill a mount right into it, like this one: bx-ac-24.

I'd also highly recommend you grab some gloves (your hands and wrists will thank you). Here is a nice inexpensive pair: bx-gl-40, and here is a cool high quality pair: bx-gl-228.

This bag is a fine choice Shaping, and I would recommend the 70lb model. Good resistance and won't feel like a brick wall, hurting your joints.

Hi T. Did you order the original 80lb bag from us, or a different vendor? This will help me in figuring out if the image is accurate or if there is an issue.

Hey wako. If I were you I would go with 70/80 lbs. You'll get plenty of resistance, but also a little bit of swing so as to add interest and timing to your training.

Perhaps a few years down the road if you really develop killer striking power you can go up to 100.

I'm 5'2" and my husband is 6'2" and 275 lbs. I ordered the 100lb bag and it's awesome! I can kick and punch this bag all around and it works well for the hubby too! I got the stand as well and I'd recommend adding weights to the base for sturdiness. Love it!

Considering your body weight and the fact that you have some experience, I would suggest you go with 80lbs. That sounds right on the money to me.

Hey KLN. I recommend a 70lb bag. It'll be adequately heavy for your husband and manageable for you as well. Getting the bag filled is much less work, and since we offer $2.95 shipping you'll probably end up paying less money anyway (vs the cost of sand, shredded textile, and time spent).

You'll want to assess of the beam in your basement is attached do a solid part of your house (load bearing type beams). Furthermore, you'll want to make sure it isn't roting as it would then be unable to hold the screws of a mount or tolerate the impact.

For a wood beam, this type of mounting bracket is best - bx-ac-36.

Unfortunately there are restrictions when it comes to heavy items like this. I recommend one of two otpions:

1. Grab an unfilled heavy bag case - bx-hv-540. Once you have this you can just secure some shredded textile found locally and stuff it.

2. Check around some local shops. Fighting arts are quite popular in Japan so you shouldn't have too much trouble.

Outdoors is always a little tougher on bags than indoors. No matter which one you get, it's going to be subjected to weather change, wildlife (think birds and their body functions), and so on.

That all being said, if you want a bag outside, go with this one. The nevatear can handle it better than leather and the interior material won't freeze up on you.

Hi Mandi. I think the perfect bag for your needs is this one: tr-bg-07. For your husband, the base and bag are heavy enough to give him real resistance to his training. For you, the bag will be flexible and foam filled so as not to be overwhelming.

For the kids, the striking surface extends near to the floor, and provides a non-damaging striking surface (Softer on the hands than most hanging bags).

100 is going to be a noticeable step up in resistance, but if 70 wasn't cutting it then 80 might not cut it either. Go 100 but be safe and use hand protection!

Hi Teresa. The 80lb would definitely be more forgiving when struck, and wouldn't lack anything in durability.

Hi Kyle. Shipping to Seattle will be no problem, you can order without worry.

As for the bag weight, that depends on your body weight and experience. Since you're 15 I would recommend going a bit lighter with the 80, however if you are a particularly big 15 year old (6 foot, 160 pounds) then go with the 100.

These large items like heavy bags we do not ship overseas.

Unfortunately we don't air ship very heavy items like this so getting it to singapore would be problematic. Sorry koksoon!

Hi denise. s far as I have been able to tell there is minimal difference in performance. The cloth tends to make a little less noise (as the chain is prone to rattling).

I also haven't noticed any difference in longevity, except that the chain is a bit easier to replace.

Yea it sure is Sharon.

I would say the 60lb bag is a nice weight for him. You can hang it from a tree just be sure the limb is thick and that the chain doesn't shift around on you.

Although generally this bag gets top-notch reviews, some users have said the filling does sink a bit after awhile. This doesn't make the bag unusable by any stretch, but since you are trying to avoid any sinking be aware that this bag is not immune.

Hey E, yes you'll also want something drilled into your wall or ceiling to hang it from. I recommend this general kind of hanger for wooden beams: bx-ac-36

Hi Alex - this bag you are on here would be great for you. Go with one of the lesser weights, like 60 or 80 pounds.

Also yes - there is no problem shipping to Michigan.

I think the best we have for you is this 100lb water weight heavy bag which comes unfilled: bx-hv-658

He is Right you need to Order it Online

The 100lb bag is about 48" long. The 2.95 should be working no problem on your order including this item!

No

We can't ship the heavy bag to Singapore, it's too heavy. You're better off ordering an unfilled bag or water bag like the tsunami bag.

The USPS unfortunately will not take a heavy bag to APO AE addresses. I suggest you order an unfilled bag or water bag like the tsunami bag. We can ship those to your APO AE address for just $2.95.

I think this one - bx-hv-90 - would probably suit your needs just right!

Hi Mateusz. Since this bag is made out of vinyl I think it would be a fine choice for outdoor training. Vinyl has a toughness and water resistance to it that would work for the rigors of outdoor life.

In regards to a stand, consider this one: bx-hv-369

We have had ours outside for about a month now, and it is holding up really well-

Yes, the 100 lb bag is definitely ok for serious training. As far as sending it back to us, you would have to contact our customer service line.

14" x 42"

Hi Jennifer. In regards to what kind of bag to get, the one on this page or a canvas alternative like this: bx-hv-160 might work for you. Canvas is a bit cheaper than leather, although a bit less durable. I would also recommend a lighter weighted bag (like 60 lbs) since you'll be having your kids hit it too.

In regards to hanging it up, the bag will come with a chain and swivel. So you'll need to find a reliable beam in your home or purchase a freestanding heavy bag stand like this: bx-hv-90. After screwing the swivel into your strong beam, have an assistant hold the bag up just high enough while you take the chain and hook it into the swivel.

Fixed. Thanks!

Well joonny we do ship online if you can get your parent/guardian to order for you. Otherwise you'll have to check traditional Sporting Goods stores near you.
