Quality Kick and Punch Bags for all Martial Arts

Whether you're building a home gym, upgrading a martial arts academy, or training out of Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, or Teesside, our collection of heavy bags offers the performance and durability combat athletes demand. Many people buying a heavy bag for the first time are unsure on how to hang them, best practice for keeping them in top condition and often what bag is really best for them. At Fightstorepro we can assist you all the way and sometimes even deliver the bag personally!

Heavy Bag Materials

Virtually all hanging punch or kick bags are made of vinyl. Higher-end materials are occasionally merchandising as synthetic leather; rest assured, they are absolutely synthetic. This isn't a negative-quality vinyl has some serious advantages over old-style leather. While some bags are still made of leather, it offers little or no benefit over good vinyl in terms of construction and is often more expensive. Remember that leather is a varied commodity, and if you find a leather bag at a bargain price, the leather is likely inferior. The main useful feature of synthetic materials is the waterproof property that they have. Leather, on the other hand, absorbs water from sweat or humid air and expands then shrinks upon drying, the effect of which is cracking. Leather could also decay if one is exposed to regular moisture. The synthetics are not afflicted with this problem. Conversely, all synthetics are not created equal. The better quality synthetics, such as the 22-ounce vinyl that Revgear uses on their bags, will be resilient and can be expected to last upwards of ten years if cared for properly.

Filling

Most old-school punch bags are filled with a mixture of shredded textiles and plastic pellets for added heft. Although a bag that isn't filled is cheaper to buy, filling it correctly can indeed be quite a challenge. The reason filled bags are so expensive compared to unfilled ones is because of just how expensive it is to fill them up. In this respect, the price of a bag from factory to warehouse - after filling and shipping - can almost be doubled. Additional costs for this are, therefore, somewhat understandable.
