After using it for the last two years regularly I can safely say it was the best decision for me by far. I have never been one to use heavy bags, not because I don’t think they’re necessary, but they are more for endurance workouts than they are for really training martial techniques.

So the biggest drawback of the regular BOB model is that he isn’t made for kicking really, unless you do a bunch of body and head kicks. The main BOB XL unit simply screws into the base (as in twists into a pre-made groove) so this part is extremely simple. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. CENTURY strives to be the global destination to discover, explore and experience the life changing benefits of training martial arts. Mimicking the size and shape of an actual opponent, this free standing punch bag is ideal for those looking to enhance their combat skills.Century BOB XL moves around minimally, meaning you can focus on targetry, combinations, or mixing up combos on the fly without worrying about it moving about so you miss punches or strikes. It is robust enough for kickboxing, Muay Thai, Karate, Taekwondo and other martial arts and its characteristics allow it to be used for tactical training arts such as Jeet Kune Do and Krav Maga. I would only recommend this product for home use or strictly targeting tool, not for professional heavy use. I'm a 13-year veteran of the martial arts, including Aikido, Sil Lum and Choy Li Fut Kung Fu, Guang Ping Yang style Tai Chi, and Ninjutsu. Guided Workouts: Especially beneficial for beginners or those focusing on improving their striking accuracy.

Having turned my garage into a mini-gym a few years ago, I was on the hunt for a decent training aid for my martial arts training. I will say this, though – I filled mine upstairs in my loft above the garage and ended up overfilling it as I was running back downstairs to turn off the spigot.Consistent Training Experience: Offers a stable and consistent target, perfect for honing skills over time. Außerdem kam ich auf die dumme Idee den Dummy auf einem Fassroller zu befestigen, damit er nicht immer so präsent im Raum steht. Low kicks: The XL Zones provides high impact foam from 60cm up to 180cm facilitating both low and high strikes.
