Find a punching bag that fits your needs in our selection!
There are many types of punching bags, and they differ in size, weight, material and purpose. Common types include traditional heavy bags, which are suitable for developing strength and endurance, speed bags, which improve speed, reaction time and coordination, and free-standing bags, which are a good choice for spaces where ceiling mounting is not possible.
When choosing a punching bag, you should consider your training goals, available space and personal preferences. In addition, the choice of material (for example leather or artificial leather) affects the durability and feel of the sack.

A punching bag hanging from the ceiling, i.e. Heavy Bag
A 120–150 cm long cylindrical bag hanging from the ceiling is an excellent choice for practicing the basic boxing technique. It is great for training direct punches, kicks and steps. Sacks that can be hung from the ceiling are available in several different sizes, materials and filling levels, so you can easily find an option that suits your needs and skill level. However, when considering a punching bag hanging from the ceiling, you must first ensure the possibility of a sufficiently strong one for ceiling mounting . The fastening string of a heavy and swinging sack can be strung around a strong wooden beam or log, for example.
The sack hanging from the ceiling is suitable not only for boxing but also for most other martial arts. As a basic rule, the longer the sack is, the easier it is to practice kicking. The so-called banana sacks therefore work brilliantly in, for example, kickboxing, free sparring and Thai boxing.
In addition to the traditional cylinder, hanging punching bags can be shaped like a cone, a body, a drop or a ball. The idea of shaped bags is that you get to practice more versatile shots and approach the bag from more angles.
Free standing punching bag, Free Standing Bag
A free-standing punching bag is kept upright by a weight tank below it, usually filled with water or sand. The sack is attached to the base either with a spring or a damping tube, so that it gives way slightly to the force of the impact, and the impact does not topple the sack. A standing punching bag is perfect for homes where there is no possibility of roof construction. The advantage of a standing sack is also that it can be easily moved. For example, you can move the sack to storage when it is not in use.
Pear ball and floor-ceiling ball
Hitting a pear ball or speed ball develops hand-eye coordination, strength and reflexes. The pear ball is attached to the ceiling from a metal bracket. When hitting, the ball swings and quickly returns to its place to be hit again.
Two-headed floor-ceiling ball is also one of the cornerstones of a boxer's technical training. With the help of the ball, the boxer can train dodges, punch speed, footwork and hand-eye coordination. The training is suitable for both beginners and active boxers.
Punching bag material
The most common punching bag surface materials are leather, synthetic leather and rubber. Leather is always a safe choice as a material, and with the right maintenance, it will last for decades. Today, most punching bags are made of synthetic materials, which, thanks to advanced technologies, can easily reach the level of genuine leather in terms of properties, but are significantly more affordable. In use, the differences between the two are quite small, so we encourage you to think about your own needs when choosing a sack.
