What ever you get make sure it is supported with chains, not straps. I have bought and thrown out 3 everlast bags that use straps. I like everlast bags and the ones with chains are so much better. Canvas or leather with a relativly hard filler is recomended. Good luck with your purchase.

Also make sure that you hang it somewhere very secure, there's a hole in the ceiling at a friend of mine's because he forgot that part.

Depends on how much you like your ceiling. The standing ones have the edge that they're easier to put up.

I got a 4 ft, 40 kg tough leather punch bag by BLITZ. I cant get a picture at the moment, it hangs against a wall though. and how frequent should I punch. Once a day for an hour okay?

I don't like to use a punching bag. It restricts your range of motion. A punching bag sits in one position! Clearly, an opponent won't stand still! If you want to hit something, then find a partner to hold up a thick shield. The partner then can move forward, backward, side; therefore, creating a more realistic work-out.
HOwever, I prefer shadow boxing

Yeah, but the point of the punch bag is to improve the strengh of your strikes and kicks, not making a realistic target!

| I am also buying a punchingbag and I live in Toronto. If anyone knows any stores in T.O. that sells punching bags and preferably a stand (the bag would tear down my ceiling) and could give me the name that would be great. Any help is appreciated. |
