My speed bag platform is hardly working out well because its part of a heavy bag combo stand. My speed bag platform will go up to probably 8 feet. So can i rig it so that the top hook anchors to that?
The guy above me is wrong it should be 3 ft
Since the inflatable type punching bags are light (I’ve never owned one but I assume they are light?), could they help you gain strength and muscles?
To build muscle, you need to use heavy weights.
A punching bag will only be cardio.
If you’re looking for a workout plan then have a look here:
I, for one, have a newfound respect for Floyd Mayweather, whom I formerly regarded as a fighter who talked more than he fought. He certainly proved himself tonight. As for Hatton, I think he must learn some things from tonight, such as the concept of not getting hit. lol. Anyhow, what do you think?
I thought he was going to do it easily and Ricky Hatton had no buisness stepping into the ring with him in the first place. I’m tired of people calling Floyd this and that, but let’s get something straight. The man earned every dollar that’s in his pocket, it’s up to him to live whatever lifestyle he chooses. I’m sure if any of us woke up with 30 million in our pockets tomorrow we wouldn’t really be quite the same either. How he promotes himself is his decision as well. Wrestling refers to the bad guy as "the heel". If Floyd wants to play the heel then let him, he does it quite well. And if you look at the post fight interview he was extremely classy. Let’s get something straight he knocked this guy out flat on his feet. Stewart, Lampley, Merchant, they were all hating on him up until that very point. Floyd does whatever he wants to everybody in that ring. pacho_3 has no idea what he’s talking about because he talks about De La Hoya as being real competition. All he did against Floyd were little pitter pat pillow flurries that wouldn’t win a fight if you were in Golden Gloves, cross dress, get accused of rape 6 times, he dosen’t mention a Diego Corrales in his prime into that category. If everybody has forgotten, Diego landed less than 10 punches a round against Floyd and Floyd knocked him down multiple times that fight, it just about ruined Corrales’ career, it took him years to come back from that fight, the guy had a total melt down outside the ring after that. He’s embarassed everybody. And the notion that he’s not good because he dosen’t fight into his 40’s is idiotic. He can retire because he’s made enough money to do so. Why fight and risk your health, hands, and brains when you don’t have to? Boxing is not wussy UFC. If you get knocked down, you get back up, it’s repeated hits that are not only skilled and accurate, but also extremely powerful. Floyd’s defense is great, but he knows his speed is diminishing, his hands are getting more brittle with every year. The force and speed at which he hits, he can break his hand in just about any fight, so why risk his legacy? Old school fighters fought big names because that was where the money was at. It’s the same today. Don’t give me that old school fighters were more ‘honorable’ crap. Ali called Frasier an "Uncle Tom" but that was just a promotional tactic, nobody ever talks about Ken Norton breaking his jaw as he was talking junk in the ring. Floyd drives around in his Bentley and they call it showing off, but when he knocks people out they call the competition sub-par, blame the ref, blah blah blah. Should he retire? Yes, why get caught up in the "Larry Merchant" syndrome who’s just waiting for the Great White Hype and end up like Roy Jones Jr. People wait for you to get past your prime and then call you out. It’s idiotic. If you got speed an power, use it, if you have money spend it.
Sugar Ray Robinson was a great fighter, one of my favorites, but those were different times. Sure he had over a 100 fights but not all of those were with quality opponents. It was a different era, he did because he had to. Why did he fight Jake Lamotta 3 times? Because he got 3 paychecks that were fatter than if he had fought Charley Fusari 3 times. And let’s not forget Sugar beat his wife and was a big showoff as well.
Hi theres this kid at my middle school who keeps on F**king wit me.most of the time i ignore him. but the other day i was in the restroom washing my hands and he broght his gang in and cut my hand i was ready to throw a punch right into his mouth and a bloody nose but i realized he had his friends there so i didnt.
and btw he punched me 3 times in the face and that really got me pissed so i kicked him in his balls and kneed him in his stomach and that sure taught him a lesson. because he also picks on girls and other people.
im scared that he will get his people and jump me later on when im alone. Im really good at fighting . three crips tried to jump me last time and i kicked there asses
well u have two choices…
u could either tell an adult about him and they’ll probably do something abt it
or
u could get some of ur friends and gang up on him
don’t get into trouble though
hope this helps. pick as best answer.

I am looking for a good heavy bag to put in my basement. I am currently looking at Everlast bags around 100b or so, but I want to know if i should get something heavier that I can grow into. Also, I need to keep it around $100-150.
Also im 5′10" 190lb decent striker. I just want to make sure this thing will last.
A Personal Defense sells good quality bags, bag stands, and even free standing bags that can be shipped to your home.

You want to invest in really good equipment, not cheap stuff that will fall apart or not protect you. That includes wraps and gloves, of course.
Personally, I think the heavier, the better. You can always go lighter on a heavy bag if you are not up to it, but once your power improves, you will be glad you had the heavier bag.
I am looking to get a punching bag to use as a work out but I don’t have much space. I was hoping to get one of the larger bags, the tall, cylindrical ones. But again, I don’t have room to put a looming, 12-foot wide metal contraption that would hold one aloft.
Look into the Martial art supply stores or even at Sears if you have one, they have the type with a base that can be filled with Water "or" Sand. One thought about the water is you don’t want a crack flooding you apt. or space you have. Mine has held water for two years only a slight rusting on some bolts.
Good Luck and God Bless
I want to to take either kickboxing, boxing or muay thai. I’ve been studying tae kwon do for five years and want to expand my knowledge for martial arts. Which do you reccomend?
1. Boxing uses only punches or upper body strikes. You can’t strike below the belt under any circumstances.
2. Kick-boxing is just like boxing, only you can use kicks.
3. Muay Thai- is Thai Boxing. You can strike with fist, elbows, knees, and feet.
Mauy Thai is definitely the one of the "in" martial arts of the day, because it is so effective. More than likely you will find all three at the same gym. They all use the same training equipment. Right now I believe that an American style of Muay Thai has developed.
American Thai Boxing, is usually taught by a professional kick- boxer. He just incorporates the elbow and knee strikes. This style is so effective that some of the highest ranked Muay Thai fighters are from Western Countries.
My opinion of Muay Thai is very high. Also, I believe that the Western versions offer better defense, than the traditional.
many boxers don’t have nerves in there noses and i would like to know exactily how they do it. Also what are the side effects from it and does it mean boxers cant feel a blow to the nose
Just get hit in the face a bunch of times, and have multiple broken noses.
By this, I mean the boxer keeps attacking his opponent and ignores the referee, and beats the boxer to death. Brutal, I know. Would they be arrested?
Like Ivan Drago shoving the ref aside and continuing to pound Apollo Creed until he killed him? It likely wouldn’t happen. Once the ref stops the fight, if a fighter keeps continuing to attack his opponent, the commissioner and other officials would get in the ring to stop it. And I am sure the opponent’s corner would get in the ring too. Check out the youtube clip of Vinny Pazienza vs Dana Rosenblatt. Pazienza continued to punch after the fight was stopped and within seconds the he was pretty much tackled by New Jersey boxing commissioner.
In another, completely different circumstance, there was a fight back in 2001 between Richard Grant and James Butler. Butler was favored coming into the fight but Grant dominated winning a decision. After the fight was over and both fighters had their gloves off, Grant approached Butler to shake hands and embrace. Butler then sucker punched him and knocked him out cold. Butler was arrested on the spot, taken from the rings in handcuffs (with the audience shouting "LOCK HIM UP") and he was charged and convicted.
