What Others Say
MY WORSE EXPERIENCE WITH INTERNET SHOPPING!!!
That was my worse internet shopping experience in my life. 3 times they tried to deliver my merchandise to me, and I never received it. Finaly I cencelled my order, end I didn't get my money back yet.
I LOVE this thing!
If you like to work out and need to get out some aggression than this thing is perfect for you! I had to buy some gloves as it was hurting my hands to punch with bare hands. The only problem I have is that it is currently filled with water and on carpet it's just not heavy enough so "Bob" keeps trying to escape from me into the corner!
It's great though...makes my workout more fun.
recommended
I didn't give this a 5 only because it doesn't hold enough water weight to stand still, but most free standing bags don't. Other than that the 6 height adjustments are great to practice different angling of techniques for different heights of opponents. And of course having a throat, face, ribs, solar plexus, etc. is excellent for practicing techniques, especially for martial arts like kenpo and wing chun. If you shop around you can probably find it closer to $200, but up to $300 is worth it if you're serious about training.
I like Bob
Bob is a good target to punch.
Because Bob's got eyes, nose, ears, neck etc. he's great for practicing high kicks to the throat or moves where you're learning to hit a specific body part.
An outstanding training tool
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 ... Read More
