Century Bob Body Opponent Bag Review

I'm not too big on free standing punching bags but the BOB is something special, a separate class all it's own. The rubber skin more closely emulates punching a real person than a regular heavy bag. It is comfortable to strike for long periods of time without requiring hand protection yet holds up to serious abuse from fists, feet, elbows, knees, or whatever you want to hit it with. Furthermore, the human-like shape really facilitates targeting. If you are purely a traditionalist you'll probably want a makiwara (striking post). If you're willing to embrace the best in a modern training tool, however, this mannequin bag makes a great investment. There are some really good BOB workouts in books like Loren Christensen's "Solo Training 2: The Martial Artist's Guide to Building the Core for Stronger, Faster and More Effective Grappling, Kicking and Punching." This is a fantastic training tool for any martial artist.

Century Fitness Kid Kick Wavemaster® Red Review

Though it requires more space than we thought, this is a great way to practice Tae Kwon Do at home. Its adjustable to different heights and easy to move by rolling across the floor. But it requires a good deal of space around it for someone to take a big step and swing their leg/arm without hitting anything but the Kid Kick.

Century The Original Wavemaster Freestanding Training Bag Review

Century The Original Wavemaster Freestanding Training BagI have owned this item for about 5 years and it is still going strong.I use it for about 20-45 mins/ day about 4-5 times per week.

Bare knuckle or with gloves.I primarily do boxing workouts but it has seen its fair share of kicks, knees and elbows and never seen a tear or a worn spot.

The padding is about 4" thick and beneath is a solid plastic ring that alows you to adjust the height.This is also what keeps it from getting worn spots like a regular punching bag.

I used to work out at a friends house who had a 40lb everlast hanging bag and after a few months we tore it and had to hold it together with duct tape, which made us all sticky after every workout.

You can fill the base with water or sand, i have never filled it up all the way, but its pretty stable.If you cant use a hose and have it inside i made a funnel by cutting the bottom off of a 2 liter coke bottle andrunning back and forth to the bath tub with milk jugs.

Great product for anyone not wanting to drill holes in their ceiling to hang a regular punching bag.
